Section
6.3 Defense of
Claims. If any claim, demand, lawsuit or enforcement action is
filed against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written
notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as
practicable (and in any event not less than fifteen (15) days prior to any
hearing date or other date by which action must be taken) except in cases where
the indemnified party has less than sixteen (16) days prior notice of such
hearing or action which must be taken. The indemnifying party shall
have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement if the indemnified party fails to
provide notice to the indemnifying party of the claims, demand, or lawsuit
unless the indemnified party can show that the indemnifying party was not
prejudiced by the failure to provide such notice. After such notice,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of
the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action and to employ and engage
attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying
party's cost, risk and expense; and such indemnified party shall cooperate in
all reasonable respects, at its cost, risk and expense, with the indemnifying
party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit
or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the
indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in such investigation, trial
and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising
therefrom. The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any
proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity
has been sought hereunder unless such settlement of a claim, investigation,
suit, or other proceeding only involves a remedy for the payment of money by the
indemnifying party and includes an unconditional release of such indemnified
party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.
Notwithstanding
the above paragraph, JOY or NIII, as the case may be, shall have the right to
defend (using counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller) any suit, action,
proceeding or claim where Seller has an indemnity obligation pursuant to Section
6.1(d). Buyer and JOY or NIII, as the case may be, shall promptly
inform the Seller of such suit, action, proceeding or claim. Seller
shall have the right through counsel of its choice to participate in the
defense, at its own cost. Seller shall have no obligation to
indemnify any party for any settlement made of any suit, action proceeding or
claim for any settlement and the accompanying legal fees and expenses incurred
if the Seller did not agree to such settlement.
Section
6.4 Default of Indemnification
Obligation. If an entity or individual having an
indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation, as above provided, shall
fail to assume such obligation, then the party or entities or both, as the case
may be, to whom such indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation is
due shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume and maintain such
defense (including reasonable counsel fees and costs of any suit related
thereto) and to make any settlement or pay any judgment or verdict as the
individual or entities deem necessary or appropriate in such individual’s or
entities’ absolute sole discretion and to charge the cost of any such
settlement, payment, expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, to
the entity or individual that had the obligation to provide such
indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation and same shall constitute
an additional obligation of the entity or of the individual or both, as the case
may be.
Section
6.5
Right to
Offset. In the event that the Buyer is entitled to
indemnification in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof, including the payment by
the Buyer of any debts or liabilities of JOY or NIII which were incurred prior
to, but unpaid as of the Closing, then Buyer shall have the right to offset any
such amount from any obligations that are then due and payable to the
Seller.

Section
6.7 Taxes. Any
indemnity obligation of Seller for federal income tax, state sales tax or state
margin tax pursuant to Section 6.1(c) or 6.1 (e) shall be limited to one-half of
(1) any payment of tax actually required, plus one-half of interest and penalty
less (2) a reduction for one-half of any increased deductions that have or will
occur in any subsequent year as a result of the adjustment that gave rise to the

6.9 Indemnity, Obligation Net of
Insurance Proceeds. JOY and NIII shall maintain the same type
and amount of insurance coverage as JOY and NIII provided immediately prior to
the execution and exchange of this Agreement and as described on Exhibit A
attached to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the other sections of this
Agreement, an Indemnifying Party shall only have an indemnity obligation with
regard to claims for amounts in excess of (1) amounts covered by applicable
insurance proceeds payable as a result of the incident or (2) amounts that would
have been covered by insurance proceeds that would have been payable as a result
of the incident if the insurance of the type and amount listed on Exhibit A had
been maintained. An insurer who is otherwise obligated to pay a claim
is not relieved of the responsibility with respect to the claim and has no
subrogation rights with respect to the claim, in either instance, solely by
virtue of the indemnification provisions of this Article.
Section
6.10 Indemnified Party’s
Obligation to Refund Excess Payment. If any indemnified party
recovers an amount from a third party in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss for
which indemnification is provided in this Agreement and an indemnifying party
has either (i) previously paid the full amount of the Indemnifiable Loss, or
(ii) has made a partial payment of the Indemnifiable Loss and the aggregate
amount of that partial payment, plus the amount of the payment received from the
third party exceeds the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss, then (iii) the
indemnified party shall promptly remit to the indemnifying party the amount of
the payment received from the third party that exceeds the Indemnifiable Loss,
up to but not exceeding the amount that indemnifying party previously paid in
respect of the Indemnifiable Loss.
Section
6.11 Exclusivity. The
rights and remedies set forth in this Article constitute the exclusive rights
