Section 2.05 Adjustment of Final Purchase Price.

Section 6.02 Effect of Termination; Liquidated Damages.
(a) If this Agreement is terminated as permitted under Section 6.01, such termination shall be without liability to any party or their respective Affiliates or representatives, and following such termination neither party shall have any liability under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that no such termination shall relieve any party that has willfully breached any provision of this Agreement from liability for such breach, and any such breaching party shall remain fully liable for any and all damages incurred or suffered by the other parties as a result of such breach.
(b) In the event that (x) the conditions to the obligations of the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.01 have all been satisfied and (y) none of the events described in Section 6.01 which would give the Purchaser a right to terminate this Agreement have occurred and any applicable cure period has expired and (z) the Purchaser refuses to consummate the Funding, the Seller shall, in lieu of any other damages or remedy for such breach or breaches that may be available to the Seller or the Parent (which the Seller and the Parent shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived upon the Seller’s receipt of the liquidated damages amount specified below) and in satisfaction of all claims the Seller and/or the Parent may have arising under or relating to this Agreement of any nature whatsoever, be entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of $10,000,000.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall have no liability:
(i) to the extent of any insurance or other recovery received by a Person entitled to indemnification under Section 7.01(a) in respect of an Indemnified Cost (an “Offsetting Recovery”) (provided that the net present value of all actual increases (in the following year) in insurance premiums which are directly attributable to any such Indemnified Cost (the “Premium Recapture”) is deducted from any such Offsetting Recovery for purposes of this Section 7.01(b)(i), provided further, however, that the Premium Recapture shall not exceed the amount of the Offsetting Recovery); and |
(ii) to the extent that Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof realizes a Tax Benefit on or before the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date which is directly attributable to such Indemnified Cost. |
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(i) or (ii) unless the aggregate of all Indemnified Costs under Section 7.01(a)(i) or (ii) for which the Seller would, but for this subsection (c), be liable exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to one million Dollars ($1,000,000), in which case the Seller’s liability shall be only for such excess, nor shall the Seller be liable for any such Indemnified Costs that, when added to the amounts that Seller has otherwise paid pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(i) or (ii), exceed the amount of seventy-five million Dollars ($75,000,000).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(i) or (ii) unless the aggregate of all Indemnified Costs under Section 7.02(a)(i) or (ii) for which Purchaser would, but for this subsection (c), be liable exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to one million Dollars ($1,000,000), in which case Purchaser’s liability shall be only for such excess, nor shall Purchaser be liable for any such Indemnified Costs that, when added to the amounts that Purchaser has otherwise paid pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(i) or (ii), exceed the amount of seventy-five million Dollars ($75,000,000). Purchaser shall not be liable to pay Indemnified Costs more than once with respect to an Indemnified Cost resulting from the same facts, events or circumstances, even if such facts, events or circumstances constitute both an Assumed Liability and a breach of any representations and warranties for which Purchaser shall or would but for this provision be obligated to pay Indemnified Costs hereunder, provided, however, Purchaser shall be liable to pay for Indemnified Costs that arise out of the same facts, events or circumstances when the Indemnified Costs resulting from such facts, events or circumstances that are not duplicative or result in damages, costs or liabilities that were not indemnified pursuant to the first such indemnification payment.
Section 7.03 Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Any Person claiming indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the occurrence of any event that such party asserts is or may be an indemnifiable event pursuant to this Agreement and shall describe in reasonable detail the facts, events and circumstances relating to the subject matter of such claim and the amount (if reasonably calculable) of the Indemnified Costs in connection therewith.

(c) The indemnifying party shall obtain the prior written approval of the indemnified party before entering into any settlement, adjustment, or compromise of such claim or ceasing to defend against such claim that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages with respect to the indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnifying party does not assume control over the defense of such claim as provided in Section 7.03(a) within 60 days of receipt of notice thereof, the indemnified party shall have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and to settle, adjust, or compromise such claim and shall not thereby waive any right to indemnification hereunder.
(e) In the event that the indemnifying party reimburses the indemnified party for any third party claim, the indemnified party shall remit to the indemnifying party any reimbursement that the indemnified party subsequently receives for such third party claim.
(f) Any matter as to which a claim has been asserted by written notice in accordance with Section 7.03(a) to the indemnifying party that is pending or unresolved at the end of any applicable survival period shall continue, to the extent permitted by law, to be covered by this Article VII notwithstanding any applicable statute of limitations (which the parties hereby toll with respect to each other) or the expiration of such survival period until such matter is finally terminated or otherwise resolved by the parties under this Agreement or by a court of competent jurisdiction and any amounts payable hereunder are finally determined and paid.
(g) The right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Funding Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.
Section 7.04 Indemnification Period.

Section 7.05 Exclusivity.
The indemnification provided in this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy for a breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement provided that no party hereto shall be deemed to have waived any right of recourse (whether a claim under this Article VII or otherwise) arising from fraudulent conduct of any other party hereto.
