13.3 General Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that any Party incurs or suffers any Damages with respect to which indemnification may be sought by such Party pursuant to this Article XIII and such Party desires to assert an indemnification claim hereunder, the Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) must assert the claim by giving written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Party or Parties, as the case may be, from whom indemnification is sought (each an “Indemnitor”), within the applicable time period described herein. The Claim Notice must state the nature and basis of the claim in reasonable detail based on the information available to the Indemnitee and, if the Claim Notice is being given with respect to a third Person claim must be accompanied by a copy of any written notice of the third Person claimant. Each Indemnitor to whom a Claim Notice is given shall respond to any Indemnitee that has given a Claim Notice (a “Claim Response”) within 30 days (the “Response Period”) after the date that the Claim Notice is given. Any Claim Response shall specify whether or not the Indemnitor given the Claim Response disputes the claim described in the Claim Notice or disputes Indemnitor’s alleged indemnification obligations hereunder. If any Indemnitor fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, such Indemnitor shall be deemed not to dispute the claim described in the related Claim Notice, or it indemnification obligations hereunder. If any Indemnitor elects not to dispute a claim or the indemnification for such claim as described in a Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response or otherwise, then the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor (subject to any limitations otherwise described herein). If any Indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee hereunder, such Indemnitor shall pay to such Indemnitee within 30 days after the last day of the applicable Response Period the amount to which such Indemnitee shall be entitled. If there shall be a dispute as to the amount or manner of indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall seek to resolve such dispute through negotiations and, if such is not resolved within 20 days, the Indemnitee may pursue an action or Proceeding for the recovery of the Damages claimed from any Indemnitor. If any Indemnitor fails to pay all or any part of any indemnification obligation on or before the later to occur of (x) 30 days after the last day of the applicable Response Period, and (y) if the Claim Notice relates to Damages that have not been liquidated as of the date of the Claim Notice, the date on which all or any part of such Damages shall have become liquidated and determined, then the Indemnitor shall also be obligated to pay to the Indemnitee interest on the unpaid amount for each day during which the obligation remains unpaid at an annual rate of ten percent.

(b) The Indemnitee shall provide to the Indemnitor all information and documentation reasonably requested and necessary to support and verify any Damages that the Indemnitee believes give rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall give the Indemnitor reasonable access to all books, records and personnel in the possession or under the control of the Indemnitee that would have bearing on such claim.

13.4 Procedures for Indemnification — Third Party Claims or Proceedings.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any third-party claim or Proceeding under Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 against it, such Indemnitee will, if a claim is to be made or a Proceeding is to be initiated against an Indemnitor

- 24 -

under such Section, send, to the Indemnitor, an appropriate Claim Notice, pursuant to Section 13.3, but the failure to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to any Indemnitee, except, and only to the extent that, the Indemnitor demonstrates that the defense of such action is materially prejudiced by the Indemnitor’s failure to provide such Claim Notice.

(b) If any claim or Proceeding referred to in Section 13.4(a) is brought against an Indemnitee and it provides an appropriate Claim Notice to the Indemnitor of the commencement of such claim or Proceeding, the Indemnitor will be entitled to participate in such claim or Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless the Indemnitor is also a party to such claim or Proceeding or the Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate), to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that the Indemnitor provides written notice of its election to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding to the Indemnitee within 10 days of receipt by the Indemnitor of the notice of claim by the Indemnitee, and, after delivery of such written notice from the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnitee under this Article XIII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such claim or Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such claim or Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of a claim or Proceeding:

(i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that claim or Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to the indemnification provided herein;

(ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims or Proceedings may be effected by the Indemnitor without the Indemnitee’s consent unless: (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor; and

(iii) the Indemnitee will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims affected without its consent.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Indemnitor does not, within 20 days after the Indemnitee’s Claim Notice is given pursuant to this Section 13.4, give written notice to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding as permitted under Section 13.4(b), or (ii) the Indemnitee determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a claim or Proceeding may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, then in either case the Indemnitee may, by notice to the Indemnitor, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such claim or Proceeding, but, in such case the Indemnitor will not be bound by any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) unless such compromise or settlement: (A) results in no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and (B) does not obligate the Indemnitor to pay monetary damages.

- 25 -

13.5 Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Seller Parties, on one hand, nor Buyer, on the other hand, shall have any obligation to indemnify the other Party or Parties, as the case may be, or their respective Affiliates, pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 13.2, as applicable, for Damages sustained or incurred with respect to all claims by such Party or Parties pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 13.2 in excess of the Purchase Price.

(b) The limitations set forth in this Section 13.5 shall not apply to Damages related to (i) fraud, (ii) breaches of any Fundamental Representations and Warranties, (iii) Taxes, or (iv) breaches of any covenants.

13.6 Remedies; Adjustment.

(a) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the rights and remedies set forth herein shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies that the Parties may have arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer shall have the right to recoup and set-off the amounts of any and all indemnification claims for which Buyer has given notice in accordance with Article XIII hereof from and against any and all amounts due or to become due to the Members from Buyer under this Agreement and any other agreement among the Parties, including, without limitation, from the Holding Company Shares to be issued pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

(b) Any indemnification payment made by a Party hereunder shall be deemed an adjustment to the consideration received by such Party hereunder.
