Promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after (i) receipt by the Purchaser (or any of its directors, employees or advisors) of notice of the commencement of any Claim, proceeding, or investigation (“Third Party Claim”); or (ii) the Purchaser (or any of its directors, employees or advisors) becoming aware of any breach of this Agreement or falsity of representation or other event or circumstance, in each case, in respect of which indemnity may be sought as provided above, shall notify the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Party of the Claim, proceeding or investigation and, when known, the facts constituting the basis of such Claim, proceeding or investigation, in reasonable detail, provided that any failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period will not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any obligation or liability, except and only to the extent that the Shareholder Representative demonstrates that the Indemnifying Parties have been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period. In the event of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any Third Party Claim, the notice to the Shareholder Representative shall specify, if known, the amount of damages asserted by such third party. In the event of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom (a “Third Party Defense”).

If the Purchaser elects not to assume the Third Party Defense it shall notify the Shareholder Representative of its decision not to assume such defense, and the Shareholder Representative shall have the right to assume the Third Party Defense with counsel of its choice at the expense of the applicable Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in such Third Party Defense but the Shareholder Representative shall control the investigation and defense thereof in consultation with the Purchaser; provided, however, that any settlement or compromise by the Shareholder Representative shall be subject to the consent of the Purchaser not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Shareholder Representative shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently, and the Purchaser will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense. The Parties will in any event co-operate with each other in dealing with any Claim other than in the event of a conflict of interest, and, other than in the event of a conflict of interest, will allow their respective representatives and advisers reasonable access to all books and records which might be useful for such purpose during normal business hours and at the place where they are normally kept, with full right to make copies thereof or take extracts therefrom. Such books and records shall be subject to a duty of confidentiality except for disclosure necessary for resolving such Claim or otherwise required by applicable law. The Indemnifying Party shall not be authorized to settle or compromise any Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
10.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 10.3), following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will have the right, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, to conduct and control, through counsel of the Purchaser’s choosing, the defense of any Tax Contest; provided, however, that to the extent that any Tax Contest could reasonably give rise to an indemnification claim by the Purchaser under this Section 10, the Purchaser will (i) provide notice of such Tax Contest to the Shareholder Representative within thirty (30) days after receiving the first written notice of the commencement of such Tax Contest or from the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that any failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period will not relieve the Shareholders of any obligation or liability, except to the extent that the Shareholders have been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period, (ii) provide to the Shareholder Representative all information reasonably requested by the Shareholder Representative regarding such Tax Contest, (iii) permit the Shareholder Representative to evaluate and comment on such Tax Contest, and (iv) reasonably and in good faith consider any such comments of the Shareholder Representative. The Purchaser may settle, adjust, or compromise any Tax Contest, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, without the consent of the Shareholder Representative. However, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative – which consent (i) will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned and (ii) will be deemed to have been given unless the Shareholder Representative objects in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request for such consent from the Purchaser – no settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any Tax Contest will be determinative of the existence of a claim for indemnification under this Section 10 or the amount of indemnifiable amounts relating to such claim. In the event that the Shareholder Representative consents in writing to (or is deemed to have consented to) any settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any Tax Contest, neither the Shareholder Representative nor any Shareholder will have any power or authority to object under any provision of this Section 10 to the amount of any claim by the Purchaser for indemnification under this Section 10 with respect to such settlement, adjustment, or compromise.
10.5. Other than with respect to a specific Shareholder for such Shareholder’s Shareholder Fraud Event, the remedies provided in this Section 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser, or any of their Affiliates for any Claims or Damages resulting from the Transaction, except that each Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enjoin the breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Agreement and the specific performance by the other of its obligations hereunder.
10.6. The representation and warranties of the Company and the Shareholders (read together with the disclosure schedules) and the rights of the Purchaser (and its directors, employees and advisors) to indemnification under this Section 10 shall not be affected by any examination made for or on behalf of the Purchaser or the knowledge of any of the Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees or agents. It is understood and agreed that if the Company suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation (read together with the disclosure schedules) herein, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Purchaser as an Indemnified Party but without double counting and without providing for diminution in value) the Purchaser shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the shares of the Company, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.
