The Members hereby indemnify and hold harmless, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless (from and after the Closing) MMT and its respective directors, officers, Members, employees and agents (collectively, the "MMT Indemnified Parties") against (i) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, actions, Liens and deficiencies which exist, or which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any one or more of the MMT Indemnified Parties based upon, resulting from or arising out of, or as to which there was, any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in Article II of this Agreement by the Members which is not set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, or any statement, agreement or covenant made by the Members in or pursuant to this Agreement, any Exhibit or Schedule hereto or thereto, or any certificate or document delivered by such Members at the Closing, and (ii) any cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by the MMT Indemnified Parties or any of them in connection with the foregoing (including, without limitation, any cost or expense incurred by the MMT Indemnified Parties in enforcing their rights pursuant to this Section 6.5) (collectively, the "Damages" for purposes of this Section 6.5).
An MMT Indemnified Party may apply all demands or claims for indemnification under this Article against any payment to be made by or on behalf of such MMT Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates to or for the account of the Members by means of set-off, reduction or otherwise. No MMT Indemnified Party shall be required to make any claim or demand against any other Person prior to the making of any claim or demand for indemnification or at any other time.

6.6 Indemnification Obligation with Respect to MMT Representations. MMT hereby indemnifies and hold harmless, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless, the Members, and their respective heirs, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Members Indemnified Parties”) from and after the Closing, against (i) any and all liabilities, obligations (including Guaranty Obligations, as defined below), losses, damages, claims, actions, Liens and deficiencies which exist, or which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any one or more of the Members Indemnified Parties, based upon, resulting from or arising out of, or as to which there was, any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty by MMT contained in this Agreement, or any agreement or covenant made by MMT in or pursuant to this Agreement, or in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto or thereto, or any certificate or document delivered by MMT at the Closing hereof, whether caused by the actions or inactions MMT following Closing), and (ii) any cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by the Members Indemnified Parties in connection with the foregoing (including, without limitation, any cost or expense incurred by the Members Indemnified Parties in enforcing his rights pursuant to this Section 6.6) (collectively, the "Damages").

As such, MMT shall (i) pay off the Xxxxx Fargo LOC at Closing, and (ii) make reasonable efforts to remove the Members as personal guarantor(s) of any DCG obligations. Furthermore, in the event that any assets of either Shareholder are posted as security for any DCG obligation, MMT shall also make reasonable efforts to pay off such obligation or shall post its own assets to replace those posted by Members.
The Members Indemnified Parties shall not be required to make any claim or demand against any other Person prior to the making of any claim or demand for indemnification or at any other time. The rights of the Members Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.6 are in addition to such other rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except for any Misrepresentation Claim with respect to which MMT had Knowledge, no demand or claim for indemnification under this Section 6.6 may be made after six (6) months following the Closing Date. No demand or claim for indemnification under this Section 6.6 for any Misrepresentation Claim may be made after the first anniversary of the Closing Date if MMT had Knowledge with respect to such Misrepresentation Claim.

6.7 Procedure for Indemnification Claims.
(a) The MMT Indemnified Parties and the Members Indemnified Parties are referred to collectively herein as "Indemnified Parties", and the Persons from whom indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article VI are referred to herein as "Indemnifying Parties."
(b) If at any time an Indemnified Party determines to assert a right to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall give to the Indemnifying Party written notice describing the matter for which indemnification is sought in reasonable detail. In the event that a demand or claim for indemnification is made hereunder with respect to a matter the amount or extent of which is not yet known or certain, the notice of demand for indemnification shall so state, and, where practicable, shall include an estimate of the amount of the matter. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give notice of any matter to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that the Indemnifying Party may have to any Indemnified Party.
(c) Within 15 days after receipt of the notice referred to in clause (b) above, the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification is sought shall (i) if true, acknowledge in writing his responsibility for all or part of such matter, and shall pay or otherwise satisfy the portion of such matter as to which responsibility is acknowledged or take such other action as is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to resolve any such matter that involves anyone not a party hereto, or (ii) give written notice to the Indemnified Party of his intention to dispute or contest all or part of such responsibility. Upon delivery of such notice of intention to contest, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve as promptly as possible any dispute as to responsibility for, or the amount of, any such matter. Failure to respond to a notice claiming indemnification shall be deemed a denial of responsibility therefore.
(d) In the event that the Indemnified Party is required to expend any amount in enforcing his, her or its rights of indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Parties will, jointly and severally, promptly upon request, pay such amounts to the Indemnified Party if indemnification is required to be made hereunder.
(e) Each Indemnifying Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or claim which is brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from it, and to participate in the defense of such action or claim, if such Indemnifying Party confirms in writing its responsibility for such action or claim; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnified Party or Parties shall retain control of such action or claim and (ii) the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.
