ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 5.1 Indemnification between the Parties.

(a) Notwithstanding any other indemnification provision hereunder, each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other (including the other party’s directors and officers, the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, judgments, assessments, losses, liabilities, damages or penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees and related disbursements (collectively, "Claims") suffered by such Indemnified Party resulting from or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by such party at the time they were made, and, except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date or time (which need only be true and correct as of such date or time), on and as of the date hereof, or (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenants or agreements made by such party.

(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification Claim against the Indemnifying Party 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 Indemnifying Party in writing and in reasonable detail. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, such claim specified by the Indemnifying Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE V and the Indemnifying Party 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 Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim in a timely manner, Backwoods 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 resolved pursuant to Section 6.55.

Section 5.2 Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) Upon obtaining knowledge of any Claim by a third party which has given rise to, or is expected to give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice ("Notice of Claim") of such claim or demand to the Indemnifying Party, specifying in reasonable detail such information as the Indemnified Party may have with respect to such indemnification claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same). No failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless, except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have actually adversely affected the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend against, settle or satisfy any Claims for which the Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days after the date on which Notice of Claim is given to notify Indemnified Party in writing of their election to defend such third party claim or demand on behalf of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or demand, Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives all records and other materials that are reasonably required in the defense of such third party claim or demand and shall otherwise cooperate with, and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense of, such third party claim or demand, and so long as the Indemnifying Party is defending such third party claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, settle or compromise such third party claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third party claim or demand, at such Indemnified Party's own expense. In the event, however, that such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party could reasonably be expected to present counsel with a conflict of interest, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend such third party claim or demand or do not defend such third party claim or demand in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, to defend such third party claim or demand; provided, however, that (i) such Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to participate in the defense of, or defend, any such third party claim or demand; (ii) such Indemnified Party's defense of or its participation in the defense of any such third party claim or demand shall not in any way diminish or lessen the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under the agreements of indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE V; and (iii) such Indemnified Party may not settle any claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) The Indemnifying Party and the other Indemnified Parties, if any, shall cooperate fully in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pre-trial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to this ARTICLE V, including, but not limited to, by providing the other party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and other information.

Section 5.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive execution of this Agreement and shall thereupon terminate two (2) years from the date hereof. All covenants and agreements contained herein which by their terms contemplate actions following the date hereof shall survive the date hereof and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Any Claim for indemnification hereunder must be brought, if at all, within two years from the date hereof.

(b) No claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE V may be asserted by, and no liability for such indemnify may be enforced against, the Indemnifying Party to the extent the Indemnified Party has theretofore received indemnification or otherwise been compensated for such Claim. If an Indemnified Party later collects any such amounts recovered under insurance policies with respect to any Claim for which it has previously received payments under this ARTICLE V from the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party such amount recovered.
