For the avoidance of doubt, the Partnership Parties parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing requires the Parent to use, and cause the Company and Preferred Systems Solutions, Inc. to use, commercially reasonably efforts to seek recovery from all former owners of any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to the transaction documents entered into in connection with the acquisitions thereof. In the event Parent does not pursue a claim against a former owner of any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to the transaction documents entered into in connection with the acquisitions thereof, then upon the written request of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Parent will assign to the Stockholders’ Representative the Company’s and Preferred Systems Solutions, Inc.’s rights to assert such claim against such former owner of such Subsidiaries pursuant to the transaction documents entered into in connection with the acquisitions thereof. No Indemnified Party shall be fully obligated to commence or threaten to commence a Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.4(f), unless the Indemnifying Party (i) shall have reasonably requested in writing that the Indemnified Party commence such Proceeding, (ii) acknowledges in writing that it is liable for all costs and expenses of such Proceeding and (iii) pays all such costs and expenses as and when incurred in connection with pursuing such Proceeding; it being acknowledged and agreed that, if the Indemnifying Party fails to pay all such costs and expenses as and when incurred, the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to continue to pursue such Proceeding.

However, if the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates actually receives a Tax benefit by reason of the incurrence of the Damages (either by refund of a Tax overpayment or reduction or credit against Tax otherwise due and payable) or actually incurs a Tax detriment (by an increase in Tax liability over that otherwise required to be paid) attributable to receipt of any indemnification payment, in each case within two (2) years of the date the indemnification claim is made in respect of such Damages or indemnification payment, the Indemnified Party (in the case of a Tax benefit) or the Indemnifying Party (in the case of a Tax detriment) shall promptly pay to the other party the amount of such benefit or detriment upon receipt of such refund or notice of application of such Tax reduction or credit (in the case of a Tax benefit), or on the date that such Tax detriment becomes due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment shall be made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.4(f)(ii) that is or would be reflected in computing a Tax Benefit Payment payable in accordance with the Tax Sharing Provisions. All payments pursuant to this Section 9.4(f)(ii) shall be treated as an adjustment to the initially determined indemnity obligation under this Agreement. To the extent permissible by Law, any indemnification payment by the Seller Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the consideration paid to the Seller Parties pursuant to this Agreement.
(iii) The amount of any Damages indemnifiable under this Agreement shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies, third party indemnities or other collateral sources with respect to such Damages. In the event any amounts recovered from such sources or otherwise are not received before a claim for indemnification is paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement, then the amount of such recovery shall be applied first, to reimburse the Indemnified Party for any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) expended by them in pursuing such recovery or defending any claims arising therefrom, second, to reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) expended by them in pursuing such recovery or defending any claims arising therefrom, third, to refund any payments made by the Indemnifying Party which would not have been so paid had such recovery been obtained prior to such payment (taking into account the first sentence of this Section 9.4(f)(iii)) and, fourth, any excess to the Indemnifying Party, to the extent of the amount actually paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding the fact that any Person may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement in respect to any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no Person shall be entitled to recover the amount of any Damages suffered by such Person more than once under this Agreement in respect of such fact, event, condition or circumstance, and an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for indemnification to the extent that the amount of the Damage incurred is included as a liability on the Closing Balance Sheet and taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Adjustments, or the Indemnified Party has otherwise been fully compensated on a dollar-for-dollar basis for such Damages pursuant to the Closing Adjustments set forth in Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(c) without regard to the Deductible or the Cap1.11.
