(b) Indemnification of the Company.

(c) Procedure Relative to Indemnification.
(i) In the event that any Party shall claim that it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to the terms of this Section 9 (the “Claiming Party”), the Claiming Party shall so notify the Party against which the claim is made (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such claim within thirty days after the Claiming Party receives notice of any action, proceeding, demand or assessment or otherwise has received notice of any claim of a third party that may reasonably be expected to result in a claim for indemnification by the Claiming Party against the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice shall specify the breach of representation, warranty, agreement or covenant claimed by the Claiming Party and the Losses incurred by, or imposed upon the Claiming Party on account thereof. If such Losses are liquidated in amount, the notice shall so state and such amount shall be deemed the amount of the claim of the Claiming Party. If the amount is not liquidated, the notice shall so state and in such event a claim shall be deemed asserted against the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Claiming Party, but no payment shall be made on account thereof until the amount of such claim is liquidated and the claim is finally determined.
(ii) The following provisions shall apply to any claim of the Claiming Party which is based upon (A) a suit, action or proceeding filed or instituted by any third party, or (B) any form of proceeding or assessment instituted by any governmental entity.
5.
(1) If any third party shall notify any Claiming Party with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim of indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under this Section 9, then the Claiming Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Claiming Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.
(2) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party at any time within 15 days after the Claiming Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard; and provided further that the Claiming Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim.
(3) So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9(c)(ii)(2) above, (A) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Claiming Party (not to be withheld unreasonably) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Claiming Party and (B) the Claiming Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).
(4) In the event the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9(c)(ii)(2) above, however, (A) the Claiming Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Claiming Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith) and (B) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses the Claiming Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 9.
(d) Determination of Amount of Claim for Indemnification. In determining the amount of any and all Losses under this Section 9, such amount shall be net of insurance proceeds actually received on account of such Loss.
10. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by any party in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for a period of three years (and thereafter shall be of no force or effect), regardless of any investigation made by the Trust.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party.
6.
12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Florida.
13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
