Section 9.3 Procedures for Indemnification for Third Party Claims.
For purposes of this Article IX, any Party entitled to be indemnified under Article IX is referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party,” and any Party obligated to provide indemnification under Article IX is referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party.” The obligations and liabilities of the Parties under this Article IX with respect to, relating to or arising out of claims of third parties (individually, a “Third Party Claim” and, collectively, the “Third Party Claims”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party may undertake the defense of that claim by representatives chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided, that, in such event, the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in such defense through counsel of its own choice and at its own expense. Any such notice of a Third Party Claim shall identify with reasonable specificity the basis for the Third Party Claim, the
facts giving rise to the Third Party Claim and the amount of the Third Party Claim (or, if such amount is not yet known, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Third Party Claim). The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of all relevant documents and records in its possession. Failure of an Indemnified Party to give prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify, except to the extent that the failure to so notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim against a third party.
(b) If the Indemnifying Party, within 20 days after notice from the Indemnified Party of any such Third Party Claim, notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of its election not to, or fails to, assume the defense thereof in accordance with Section 9.3(a) of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim. Any failure on the part of the Indemnifying Party to notify the Indemnified Party within the time period provided above regarding its election shall be deemed an election by the Indemnifying Party not to assume and control the defense of the Third Party Claim.
(c) Anything in this Section 9.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnifying Party, settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of judgment with respect thereto.
Section 9.4 Indemnification Limitations.
(a) Time Limits On Indemnification. No claim on account of a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty shall be made after the expiration of the survival periods referred to in Section 10.1 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a written claim or written notice is given under Article IX with respect to any representation or warranty prior to the expiration of its survival period, the claim with respect to such representation or warranty shall continue until such claim is finally resolved.
(b) Limitations on Damages.
(i) In no event shall Seller be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(a) unless and until the aggregate of all Liabilities which are incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Liabilities including the Basket (subject to Section 9.4(b)(ii)). In no event shall Buyer be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) unless and until the aggregate of all Liabilities which are incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds the Basket, in which case the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Liabilities including the Basket (subject to Section 9.4(b)(ii)).
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(a) shall not exceed $7,500,000 and (y) the maximum aggregate liability of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed $7,500,000.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, no Party to this Agreement shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for any special, incidental, punitive, consequential or similar damages.
(c) Waiver of Conditions. The right of an Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to the accuracy of or compliance with any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall negate the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
Section 9.5 Exclusive Remedy.
The remedies provided in this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties with respect to the matters arising from or related to this Agreement or the Transactions, except that nothing herein shall prevent a Party from seeking specific performance pursuant to Section 10.9, subject to the provisions thereof, including with respect to the obligations in Section 6.1.
