(a) With respect to any required third-party Consent that has not been obtained with respect to any Contract on or prior to the Closing Date, from and after the Closing Date, each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent in order to fully assign the Purchased Assets to Purchaser.

9.5 Claims.
(a) As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement not involving a Third Party Claim, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after first becoming aware of such claim, the Indemnified Person shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Person of such claim in accordance herewith (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby. The Claim Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, including the amount, if known, and any relevant supporting documentation. If the Indemnified Person is the Purchaser and is seeking to enforce such claim pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnified Person shall also deliver a copy of the Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent.
(b) Within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Person may deliver to the Indemnified Person a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Indemnifying Person: (A) agrees that the full amount set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Full Amount”) is owed to the Indemnified Person (in which case the Response Notice shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of the Full Amount, by check or by wire transfer; provided, that if the Indemnified Person is the Purchaser and is seeking to enforce such claim pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Indemnifying Person shall also deliver a copy of the Response Notice to the Escrow Agent and instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse the Full Amount to the Indemnified Person); (B) agrees that part, but not all, of the amount set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Indemnified Person (in which case a copy of the Response Notice shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent along with instructions to the Escrow Agent to disburse the Agreed Amount to the Indemnified Person); or (C) indicates that no part of the amount set forth in the Claim Notice is owed to the Indemnified Person. Any part of the amount set forth in the Claim Notice that is not agreed to be released to the Indemnified Person pursuant to the Response Notice shall be the “Contested Amount”. If the Response Notice is not received by the Indemnified Person within such 30-day period, then the Indemnifying Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the Full Amount is owed to the Indemnified Person.
9.6 Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense. The Indemnified Person shall give a Claim Notice (in the form contemplated by Section 9.5(a)) as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice thereof, to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claims, or the commencement of any Proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”); provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall

have been prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Person may, at its own expense, (a) participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim and (b) upon written notice to the Indemnified Person, at any time during the course of any such Third Party Claim, assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choice and in the event of such assumption, shall have the exclusive right, subject to clause (a) in the proviso in Section 9.7, to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such Third Party Claim, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.
9.7 Settlement or Compromise. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Person (unless the Indemnifying Person has the exclusive right to settle or compromise under Section 9.6) or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, of any such Third Party Claim shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, however, that (a) no admission of wrongdoing, exclusion, obligation, restriction or Loss shall be imposed on the Indemnified Person as a result of such settlement or compromise without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (b) the Indemnified Person shall not compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
9.8 Purchase Price Adjustments. To the extent permitted by Law, any amounts payable under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 shall be treated by Purchaser and Seller as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
9.9 Funding of Escrow. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deposit the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Amount will be governed by the terms set forth in the Escrow Agreement and shall be held for the purpose of indemnifying the Indemnified Persons pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9.
9.10 Insurance. The amount of any Losses otherwise recoverable under this Section 9 shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the payment by the Indemnifying Person, when added to the amount that the Indemnified Persons or their Affiliates have already actually received under insurance policies, net of (i) premium payments and costs incurred in securing the recovery, and (ii) any current or reasonable anticipated increase in insurance premiums resulting from the recovery, would not exceed the amount of the Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Person.
