(a) Buyer will indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any liability, loss, cost or expense (“Claim”), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which shall result from (i) a material breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto; or (ii) a material breach by Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon payment of such indemnity, Buyer shall be subrogated to the indemnitee’s rights against any third parties respecting the Claims. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify Seller if and to the extent Seller is indemnified and fully compensated for its Claim by a third party.
(b) Seller will, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any Claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which shall result from (i) a material breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered by Seller pursuant hereto; or (ii) a material breach by Seller of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, any other agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon payment of such indemnity, Seller shall be subrogated to Buyer’s rights against any third parties respecting the Claims.
(c) A party seeking indemnification pursuant to Sections 22(a) or (b) above (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice to the party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any Claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder and will give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request; but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder (except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby). The Indemnifying Party may, at its expense, participate in or assume the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding involving a third party; provided, however, that such defense is conducted with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall consult with each other regarding the conduct of such defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof, and to employ counsel, at its own expense (except that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel to the extent the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party), separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party in any such action. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Claim involving a third party, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend at such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Sections 22(a) or 22(b) for any settlement effected without its written consent (as contemplated above) for any Claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder. No Claim for indemnification, except Claims based on (i) a breach of the representations contained in Section 5.06 hereof, may be first initiated or asserted by any Indemnified Party against any Indemnifying Party after the second anniversary of the Closing Date. In the event of any claim for indemnity hereunder by Buyer that occurs prior to the date on which the Hold Back Amount is due, Buyer may withhold from the payment of the Holdback Amount an amount equal to Buyer's good faith estimate of damages. At such time as the claim for indemnity is resolved, if Buyer's actual damages are less than the amount withheld from the Holdback Amount, Buyer shall promptly pay such excess to Seller.
