Such intimation shall contain factual information describing the Indemnification Claim and shall include copies of the Claim Notice or other document received from the Governmental Authority or any other Person in respect of such Indemnification Claim.

(v) | If the Acquirer assumes control over an Indemnification Claim, the Acquirer shall not make any admission of liability, settlement or compromise in relation to an Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the relevant Indemnifying Party. |
(vi) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the relevant Indemnifying Party may at its sole discretion directly pay the amount claimed under an Indemnification Claim to the relevant Governmental Authorities on its own account and shall provide the Acquirer with evidence of such payment at least 2 (two) Business Days prior to the due date for payment of such Indemnification Claim. |

Provided that no indemnification Claims in relation to breach of any Target Warranties under this Agreement in respect of an individual Claim or a series of Claims arising from similar circumstances shall be counted towards satisfying the Basket Amount unless the Loss suffered by the Indemnified Party arising from any such Losses exceeds an amount of USD 500,000 (United States Dollars Five Hundred Thousands only) (“De-Minimis Threshold”).

8.6. | The Acquirer shall not be entitled to recover more than once for a Loss arising out of the same facts or events. The Acquirer shall take all reasonable action and shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of losses, damages or liabilities arising from any indemnification claim. |
