Without prejudice to the above, any indemnification due under this Clause 16 shall be reduced (or returned to MW Italia, to the extent already paid) by the amount of: (i) any adjustment under the Closing Adjustment, to the extent that it relates to the subject matter of a claim or potential claim, (ii) any insurance proceeds or any other amounts which the Company or Accuride may receive, if and when received, from any third parties in relation to the subject matter of a claim, and (iii) any Tax benefit or other positive effect on the Company or Accuride, the latter with respect to indemnification directly received.

16.7.

In no event shall the same Loss be indemnified more than once.

16.8.

The liability of MW Italia for indemnification under this Clause 16 shall be exonerated or mitigated pursuant to Section 1227 of the Italian Civil Code.

16.9.

MW Italia's indemnification obligations under this Clause 16 shall be excluded to the extent any Losses arise because of a change in any applicable Laws after Closing.

16.10.

MW Italia's liability under this Clause 16 shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years thereafter (it remaining understood that, once a Claim is sent by Accuride to MW Italia, the relevant indemnification obligations shall remain effective until the relevant obligation is fully satisfied or definitely ascertained groundless), except for:

16.10.1.

MW Italia's liability deriving from the inaccuracy, incompleteness, untruthfulness or breach of any of the Representations and Warranties concerning the following Sections of Annex 15.1 Representations and Warranties: 1) Standing of MW Italia, 2) The Company, and 3) Corporate Capital and Ownership and 24) Absence of Intermediaries, which shall not be subject to any cap in the amount or time limitation;

(a) Tax and currency-related issues occurred before Closing, and (b) labor and/or social-security issues occurred before Closing, including pre-Closing issues arising from any possible dismissal of employees in the future (including Redundant Employees), which shall remain in force up to the maturity date of the relevant statute of limitations provided under applicable term for Third Party Claims connected with the Claim;

16.10.3.

Environmental issues arising from soil and groundwater contamination (with exclusion of all known Environmental issues listed in Clause 11.1 above and (ii) below), which will remain in force up the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, provided, however, that:

(i)

No "dig" analysis (or however any other analysis or survey of any nature relating to soil and groundwater contamination) will be conducted by the Company and/or Accuride unless (a) as a result of an action in the ordinary course of business, (b) mandatory required under any applicable Laws and regulations, including ARPA Lombardia regulations, (c) necessary in order to ensure health and safety of the Company's employees, (d) necessary in compliance with the Company Directors' duties, and in particular in order to prevent a significant Environmental issue, or (e) required in connection with more general refurbishment activities carried out at the Company's premises; with the exception of the above paragraphs (a) through (e), in the event a "dig" or other analysis on the soil and groundwater contamination is carried out, the liability of MW Italia (and CLN) set forth hereunder shall be deemed as immediately and irrevocably waived and terminated with respect to the outcome of the analysis arising from the said analysis, survey and or dig activities;

(ii)

For the purposes of this Clause 16.10.3, all definitions of Dangerous Substance, Environment, Environmental Law, Environmental Permit, Environmental Remediation, Third Party Claim, as well as any other definition which may be related thereto, shall be reduced and deemed to be strictly limited to soil and groundwater contamination, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Parties that the aim of this Clause 16.10.3 is that of limiting the purpose of the circumstances and possible breaches of the Representations and Warranties covered by it.

(iii)

All Environmental issues listed in Clause 11.1 (including without limitation, asbestos underground storage tanks, permit and sewer issues) will be excluded from the ten (10) year time limitation and MW Italia's indemnity for such issues will continue indefinitely.

16.10.4.

No liability for Losses shall exist, whether under Clause 16.10.3 or under the Representations and Warranties under Clause 19 of Annex 15.1 and related matters, in the event the Company ceases operations in full at the Company's Properties located in Ceriano Laghetto and these Properties are repurposed to an activity other than industrial activities.

17.	Procedure To Submit A Claim

17.1.

Any Losses giving rise to indemnification shall be specifically claimed by Accuride to MW Italia and/or CLN (the latter to the applicable extent) by written notice (the "Claim") to be sent within sixty (60) Business Days from the date on which (i) Accuride and/or (ii) the Directors of the Company appointed upon Accuride's designation, became actually aware of such Loss.

17.2.

Within thirty (30) Business Days from the receipt of a Claim, MW Italia shall communicate in writing to Accuride its intention to accept, or reject, the Claim, it being understood that, if no such communication is sent, the Claim shall be deemed accepted. It is also understood that, should MW Italia agree on the existence of the indemnification obligations associated with the Losses, and on the calculation of the relevant amount, the payment of the agreed indemnification shall be carried out within five (5) Business Days from the entry into such agreement, unless otherwise agreed by Accuride and MW Italia.

17.3.

In the event the Claim is not accepted, wholly or partially, Accuride and MW Italia shall undertake to reach in good faith an agreement which regulates their respective positions in an equitable manner. If, within thirty (30) Business Days from the receipt by Accuride of the communication of objection to the Claim, no such agreement is achieved, Accuride and MW Italia are entitled to defend their respective positions pursuant to Clause 28 below.

17.4.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnification obligations set out under Clause 16 constitute an independent and additional contractual remedy of Accuride – separate and autonomous from the remedies provided under Sections 1490, 1491, 1492, 1493, 1493, 1494, 1495 and 1497 of the Italian Civil Code in terms of warranty on quantities and lack of defects, whose provisions shall accordingly not apply to the Representations and Warranties and the indemnifications of MW Italia under this Agreement.

17.5.

Except in the event of gross negligence or wilful misconduct, the indemnification provided in Clause 16 and this Clause 17 shall be, after Closing, the exclusive remedy of Accuride against MW Italia (and, to the extent applicable to it, CLN) in respect to any breach of any covenant, undertaking, representation or warranty, and the Parties hereby waive any right or defence (also by way of eccezione di inadempimento as per Section 1460 of the Italian Civil Code), including termination or avoidance (annullamento) and any other remedy of termination (or to modify the terms of this Agreement, also pursuant to Section 1467 of Italian Civil Code) it may have under applicable law (whether in contract or tort or otherwise).

17.6.

In the event of actions or challenges by third parties, including the Tax Authority, which may give rise to any indemnification obligations by MW Italia, Accuride and MW Italia shall exchange any reasonable information in relation to such claims with respect to any Third Party Claim, MW Italia shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in or assume control of the defence of the Third Party Claim of Payment, in case MW Italia elects to assume such control, it shall recognise that the Third Party Claim has to be indemnified by MW Italia. If MW Italia elects to assume such control, Accuride shall have the right to participate in the defence of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, at its own expense. If MW Italia, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, Accuride shall be entitled to assume such control, and MW Italia shall be bound by the results obtained by Accuride with respect to such Third Party Claim. If MW Italia elects not to assume such control or fails to respond to Accuride's Claim, then Accuride shall notify MW Italia in writing of the counsel that Accuride or the Company, as the case may be, intends to retain to defend the relevant Third Party Claim. In all cases of a proposed settlement of a Third Party Claim, the defending Party shall need the prior written consent of the other Party to close such settlement, it being understood that (i) the proposed settlement shall provide that the third party which brought the relevant Third Party Claim will have nothing further to claim in connection therewith and that the aforesaid proposed settlement shall therefore be final and binding to such third party, and (ii) the non-defending Party's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
