Subject to the limitations contained herein, the Parties shall take and shall cause their Affiliates to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under any available insurance policy and to mitigate any Losses.

9.5 Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims.

(i) Any Person making a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE 9 (an “Indemnified Party”) must give the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim describing such claim and the nature and amount, or anticipated amount, of the Loss, to the extent that the nature and amount thereof are determinable at such time (a “Claim Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of any claim, issuance of any order or the commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party, including any domestic or foreign court or Governmental Authority (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party or otherwise discovers the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure to notify or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 9.5, except and only to the extent the Indemnifying Party and the defense of such claim is actually and materially prejudiced as a result thereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of such matter by providing written notice of

such assumption to the Indemnified Party; provided that (A) the Indemnifying Party shall retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and defend such Third-Party Claim actively and diligently, (B) the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such claim, at its own expense, with co-counsel of its choice, and (C) the Indemnifying Party may not permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the Indemnified Party’s prior, written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any entry of judgement, settlement or compromise that does not comply with the preceding sentence shall not be determinative of the amount of Losses with respect to any related claims for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 9.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim if such claim (V) seeks (in whole or in part) injunctive, equitable or other non-monetary relief, (W) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (X) would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of the Indemnified Party’s right to recover from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 or (Z) involves a claim in which the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to actively and diligently prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim or an actual conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party.

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim or, within such thirty (30) day period, does not provide written notice to the Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 9.5(a) properly assuming the defense of such matter, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense of such Third Party Claim and may defend against the matter in any manner that it reasonably may deem appropriate with counsel of its own choice, and may consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to matter without the consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if such consent is not obtained, such settlement shall not be dispositive of the amount of or existence of any indemnifiable Loss hereunder.

(iv) The Parties shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Party Claim in connection with this Section 9.5, (B) make available witnesses in a timely manner to provide testimony through declarations, affidavits, depositions, or at hearing or trial and work with each other in preparation for such events consistent with deadlines dictated by the particular Third Party Claim, (C) preserve all documents and things required by litigation hold orders pending with respect to particular Third Party Claims, and (D) provide such documents and things to each other, consistent with deadlines dictated by a particular matter, as required by legal procedure or court order, or if reasonably requested by another Party; provided, that such cooperation referenced in the foregoing clauses (A) through (D) would not reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of any attorney-client, work product or other privilege.

(b) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Loss that does not arise from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted in a Claim Notice and delivered to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable limitation date described in this Section 9. Such Claim Notice shall describe such claim and the nature and amount, or anticipated amount, of the Loss, to the extent that the nature and amount thereof are determinable at such time. If the Indemnifying Party in good faith objects to any claim made in a Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Indemnified Party during the twenty (20) day period commencing following delivery by the Indemnified Party of the Claim Notice. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made in the Claim Notice. Each claim for indemnification set forth in such Claim Notice shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in the Indemnified Party’s favor for purposes of this Section 9.5(b) on the terms set forth in the

Claim Notice upon the earlier of (i) notice that the Indemnifying Party agrees with the Direct Claims asserted in the Claim Notice or (ii) expiration of such twenty (20) day period if the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) day period. In such event, the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense pursuant to the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Indemnification Objections. In the event the Indemnifying Party timely objects, in whole or in part, to a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE 9, such Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to provide indemnification with respect to such properly disputed claim (or such disputed portion) unless and until (a) a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitration tribunal has determined that the Indemnifying Party is liable or responsible for such Losses in a final, non-appealable judgment or arbitration award, or (b) such matter has been finally resolved by written agreement of Xxxxx and the Shareholder.

9.6 Manner of Payment. Any indemnification obligation for Losses payable by an Indemnifying Party shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of such Losses.

9.7 Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to (a) ARTICLE 6, and (b) Actions arising out of or relating to Fraud, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 9 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to any breaches of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

10.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties; provided that any Party may assign its rights under this Agreement to any lender (or agent on behalf of lenders) as collateral security for the obligations of the Party to such lender(s).

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

10.6 Construction.

(a) Each Party agrees that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. The Parties intend that each

representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification) in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant (including any indemnification provision) relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such Party has not breached (or is not otherwise entitled to indemnification with respect thereto) shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to a different provision).

(b) Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein (such as by using the word “including”), such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms.
