(a) The Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article III, it shall provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not submit claims more frequently than once each calendar quarter (or twice, in the case of the calendar quarter in which the applicable indemnity coverage under this Agreement expires) unless such Indemnified Party believes in good faith that such a delay in notice to the Indemnifying Party would cause actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the applicable claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Article III to the contrary, a delay by the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article III, except to the extent that such failure shall have caused actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the applicable claim.
7
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article III, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, the determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settlement of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the written consent of the Indemnified Party unless it does not include any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
(c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article III, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and the making available to the Indemnifying Party, at no cost to the Indemnifying Party, of any employees of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential files, records and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.5. In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article III; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.
(d) The date on which the Indemnifying Party receives notification of a claim for indemnification shall determine whether such claim is timely made.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any party’s indemnification obligation hereunder cover or include consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive, exemplary, special or similar damages or lost profits suffered by any other party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. The Indemnified Party hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to realize any applicable insurance proceeds or amounts recoverable under contractual indemnities; provided, however, that the costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Indemnified Party in connection with such efforts shall be promptly reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party.
(f) To the extent that the Indemnifying Party has made any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of a claim for which the Indemnified Parties have asserted a related claim for insurance proceeds or under a contractual indemnity, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated
8
to the rights of the Indemnified Party to receive the proceeds of such insurance or contractual indemnity.
3.6 Waiver and Release.
(a) The Sponsor hereby waives and releases any and all breaches of the provisions of the Omnibus Agreement by the General Partner or the Partnership and any claim it may have against the General Partner or the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Omnibus Agreement as of the Effective Date.
(b) Each of the General Partner and Partnership hereby waives and releases any and all breaches of the provisions of the Omnibus Agreement by the Sponsor and any claim it may have against the Sponsor pursuant to the provisions of the Omnibus Agreement as of the Effective Date; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3.6(b) shall limit or restrict (x) the indemnification rights of the Partnership Group set forth in Article III of this Agreement, or (y) the rights of the General Partner and the Partnership to assert any claim against the Sponsor as a result of, in connection with, or arising from any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties made by the Sponsor in Article II of this Agreement.
