directors, employees, agents, and other representatives or consultants (each
such person, and its successors and assigns, is referred to in this Article XI
as a "Buyer Indemnified Party"), from and against, any and all liabilities,
obligations, claims, losses, causes of action, suits, proceedings, awards,
judgments, settlements, demands, damages, costs, expenses, fines, penalties,
deficiencies, taxes and fees (including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees, expenses, disbursements and investigation costs of attorneys and

(b) any action, inaction, failure to act, occurrence, event or
transaction committed by or associated with the Seller Parties or their
Affiliates, the business or affairs of DBL and the Controlled Partnerships and
their Affiliates, concerning or relating to the business, assets and affairs of
DBL and the Controlled Partnerships through and including the Closing Date; and

Parties pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the negotiation,

Losses, once the indemnification obligations arise. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the maximum amount that the Buyer Parties shall have the right to
recover against Seller and Xxxxxxxx shall be limited to the Purchase Price.
11.02 Indemnification by Buyer Parties. From and after the Closing,
the Buyer Parties will be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless Seller and Xxxxxxxx and each of their respective Affiliates, and all of
their respective shareholders, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents,
and other representatives or consultants (each such person, and its successors
and assigns, is referred to herein as a "Seller Indemnified Party"), from and
against, any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, causes of action,
suits, proceedings, awards, judgments, settlements, demands, damages, costs,
expenses, fines, penalties, deficiencies, taxes and fees, (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses, disbursements and investigation costs
of attorneys and consultants) incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified
Party that result from, relate to, or arise out of:
(a) the operation and ownership of the business and assets of DBL and
the Controlled Partnerships after the Closing;
(b) any action, inaction, failure to act, occurrence, event or
transaction committed by or associated with the Buyer Parties or their
Affiliates, the business or affairs of DBL and the Controlled Partnerships and
their Affiliates, concerning or relating to the business, assets and affairs of
DBL and the Controlled Partnerships after the Closing Date; and
(c) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or nonfulfillment of
any agreement, covenant, or other obligation on the part of the Buyer Parties
under this Agreement or from any misrepresentation in or omission from any
certificate, schedule, statement, or other document furnished to the Seller
Parties pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the negotiation,
execution, or performance of this Agreement.
11.03 Procedure. (a) Notices of Claims. The Seller Indemnified
Parties, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any other person entitled to
indemnification under this article (each an "Indemnified Person") must give
notice must be given within a reasonable time after discovery of any fact or
circumstance on which an Indemnified Person could claim indemnification ("Claim"
or "Claims") against the party obligated to indemnify (the "Indemnifying
Party"); provided, however, that the failure to provide such prompt notice shall
in no event impair the rights of the Indemnified Person hereunder except to the
extent that such failure has a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Indemnifying Party adequately to defend such Claim. The notice shall describe
the nature of the Claim, if the Claim is determinable, the amount of the Claim,
or if not determinable, an estimate of the amount of the Claim.
(b) Mitigation. Each party or other Indemnified Person shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of the loss or injury for
which it is entitled to indemnification.
(c) Assumption of Claims. (1) If the indemnification obligation
arises out of the Claim of a third party, not an Affiliate of either the Seller
Parties or the Buyer Parties (a "Third-Party Claim"), then within ten (10) days
after notice of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the
Indemnified Person, in writing, whether or not it assumes the defense of the
Third-Party Claim, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, and if so, its
willingness and ability (with reasonable evidence of same) to satisfy any such
Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third-
Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall defend the Third-Party Claim
using reputable counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Person shall, at the
Indemnifying Party's expense, make available to the Indemnifying Party and its
attorneys, accountants, or other duly designated agents, all books and records
of the Indemnified Person relating to any such Third-Party Claim, and the
parties shall to render to each other assistance (at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party) as they may reasonably require of each other in order to
ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such Third-Party Claim.
(2) The Indemnified Person shall be entitled, with counsel
selected by the Indemnified Person, to participate in (but not control), at its
own expense, the defense of any Claim that the Indemnifying Party has, in
accordance with the provisions hereof, elected to defend, and to be kept fully
informed of the status thereof at all stages, including the right to receive, at
the Indemnifying Party's expense, copies of all pleadings and other material
papers in connection with such Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying
Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate
counsel if (A) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent
the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with a conflict of interest
that would preclude such counsel from representing the Indemnified Person
pursuant to legal canons of ethics or other applicable law, (B) the Indemnifying
Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party to represent it within thirty (30) days after notice to the indemnifying
party of the institution of the Third-Party Claim, or (C) the Indemnifying Party
shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the
Indemnifying Party's expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any
Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Person, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party
fully indemnifies the Indemnified Person for all damages, losses, deficiencies,
liabilities, costs, and expenses in connection with such settlement of such
Claim, (ii) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law by, or
affect on any other Claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person, and
(iii) the relief granted in connection therewith requires no action on the part
of, and has no economic or other effect on, the Indemnified Person.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, in
the event an Indemnified Person reasonably believes and so notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that the applicable Claim, even if fully
indemnified for, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Indemnified Person's business, financial condition, or results of operations,
then the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of
such Claim but shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to
participate in the defense of such action at its own expense. In such an event,
the Indemnified Person and its counsel shall consult, whenever reasonably
practicable, with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel with respect to the
status of the Claim and any related litigation or other proceedings.
(d) No Assumption of Defense. (1) If the defense of a Third-Party
Claim is not timely assumed and diligently continued by the Indemnifying Party
as provided above, then the Indemnified Person may (to the extent that the
Indemnified Person determines to do so in its sole discretion) conduct any such
proceeding as it may deem appropriate, may take whatever action it deems
necessary or appropriate to resolve or settle such claim or dispute, but shall
in no event have any obligation to defend any such claim or proceeding or to
appeal any adverse finding or determination or defend the appeal by any other
party to a favorable determination; any actions taken or omitted with respect to
the foregoing shall not avoid, reduce or mitigate the Indemnifying Party's
liability hereunder.
(2) The Indemnified Person shall not settle any Third-Party Claim
without first giving notice of the proposed settlement to the Indemnifying Party
(the "Settlement Notice"). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right,
exercisable within five (5) business days following receipt of the Settlement
Notice, to instruct the Indemnified Person not to so settle such Third Party
Claim; provided that, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall be required to
assume the defense of any such Third- Party Claim subject to and in accordance
with the provisions of set forth above.
11.04 Payment of Indemnification Obligation. Seller or Xxxxxxxx shall
pay promptly to any Buyer Indemnified Party, and the Buyer Parties shall pay
promptly to any Seller Indemnified Party, the amount of all damages, losses,
deficiencies, liabilities, costs, expenses, claims, and other obligations to
which the foregoing indemnities relate.
11.05 Other Rights and Remedies Not Affected. The indemnification
rights of the parties under this article are independent of and in addition to
such rights and remedies as the parties may have at law or in equity or
otherwise for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or failure to fulfill
any agreement, covenant, or other obligation under this Agreement, including
without limitation the right to seek specific performance, rescission, or
restitution, none of which rights or remedies shall be affected or diminished
hereby.

or other security shall be required in connection therewith, and the parties
