Indemnification by Purchaser Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors (the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and shall reimburse the applicable Seller Indemnitee for any Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee which result from:
(a) Any material breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and
(b) Litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions or decrees, the basis for which occurred after the Agreement Date, resulting from any of the items described in Section 11.02(a) above; provided, however, that the applicable Seller Indemnitee has taken all commercially reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses as reasonably requested by Purchaser, which such failure of mitigation shall not relieve Purchaser of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.02 but may affect the amount of such obligation; and further provided, that any Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitee pursuant to any attempt to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses shall be reimbursed by Purchaser as part of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.02. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions, decrees or any third party claims subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”). Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Seller Indemnitee, but may not enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Seller Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel and to otherwise separately defend itself but shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any exercise of such rights by a Seller Indemnitee shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 11.02 or any other provision of this Agreement. With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the applicable Seller Indemnitee shall be required to cooperate in good faith with Purchaser to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third-Party Claim.
Tax Indemnification (a) Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a joint and several basis, each Recipient against any Indemnified Taxes (including those imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by a Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent against any amount that a Lender or Issuing Bank fails for any reason to pay indefeasibly to Agent as required pursuant to this Section. Each Borrower shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a several basis, (i) Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent Borrowers have not already paid or reimbursed Agent therefor and without limiting Borrowers’ obligation to do so), (ii) Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant register as required hereunder, and (iii) Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent or an Obligor in connection with any Obligations, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims In the event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification claim against the Shareholder under this Agreement that does not involve a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice of such claim to the Shareholder in writing and in reasonable detail. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Shareholder shall not relieve the Shareholder from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Shareholder has been actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Shareholder does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Shareholder disputes such claim, such claim specified by the Shareholder in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Shareholder under this Article VII and the Shareholder shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand, or in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim is finally determined. If the Shareholder disputes its liability with respect to such claim in a timely manner, Shareholder and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.9.

In no event shall the liability of any selling Purchaser hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall also, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.
