Buyer shall have the right to contest any such claims, liabilities or obligations as provided herein or any other cost, claim or liability arising out of or relating to events or Buyer’s ownership, operation or use of the Facility after the Closing Date.
(iii) The parties intend that all indemnification claims be made as promptly as practicable by the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”). Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) of the claim, and the facts constituting the basis for such claim (the “Indemnification Claim”). Failure to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the defense of such action is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice.
(iv) An Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against an Indemnification Claim, with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, if (a) within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of notice of the Indemnification Claim the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to the Indemnification Claim, (b) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Indemnification Claim and pay, in cash, all damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, relating to, arising out of, or attributable to the Indemnification Claim, (c) the Indemnification Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (d) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Indemnification Claim is not in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (e) the Indemnitor continuously conducts the defense of the Indemnification Claim actively and diligently.
(v) So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Indemnification Claim in accordance with Section 16(a)(iv), then (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Indemnification Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any order or finalization of any tentative settlement, the only condition of which is the consent of the Indemnified Party thereto, with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (C) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any order or finalization of any tentative settlement, the only condition of which is the consent of the Indemnified Party thereto, with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that it will not be deemed to be unreasonable for an Indemnified Party to withhold its consent with respect to (i) any breach of any law, order or permit, (ii) any violation of the rights of any person, or (iii) any matter which Indemnified Party believes could have a material adverse effect on any other actions to which the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates are party or to which Indemnified Party has a good faith belief it may become party. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection (v), if Indemnified Party refuses its consent to any of the matters set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the indemnity amount shall be determined as if such consent had been given and Indemnitor shall pay over to the Indemnified Party such amount and be absolved from any further obligation as to that particular claim; Indemnified Party may then resolve the claim in the manner it sees fit without further recourse against Indemnitor.
(vi) Each party hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any governmental body, arbitrator, or mediator in which an action is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any Indemnification Claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such action or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on such party with respect to such claim anywhere in the world, provided however, that any venue relating to any claim or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement between Seller and Buyer shall be the State and the laws of the State shall apply.
(b) Insurance Proceeds. In determining the amount of damages for which either party is entitled to assert an Indemnification Claim, the amount of any such claims or damages shall be determined after deducting therefrom the amount of any insurance coverage or proceeds or other third party recoveries received by such other party in respect of such damages. If an indemnification payment is received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any damages and the Indemnified Party later receives insurance proceeds or other third party recoveries in respect of such damages, the Indemnified Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the lesser of the actual amount of net insurance proceeds or other third party recoveries (remaining after recovery costs and expenses) or the actual amount of the indemnification payment previously paid by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.
(c) No Incidental, Consequential and Certain Other Damages. An Indemnitor shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party for incidental, consequential, enhanced, punitive or special damages unless such damages are included in a third-party claim and such Indemnified Party is liable to the third party claimant for such damages.
(d) Indemnification if Negligence of Indemnity; No Waiver of Rights or Remedies.
UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 16 WILL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE SOLE, JOINT, OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS ALLEGED OR PROVEN. THE PARTIES AGREE THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS COMMERCIALLY CONSPICUOUS. Each Indemnified Party’s rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing or other termination of this Agreement, shall not be deemed waived by such Indemnified Party’s consummation of the Closing of the sale transactions (unless the Indemnified Party has knowledge of the existence of an Indemnification Claim at Closing and decides to proceed with Closing)and will be effective regardless of any inspection or investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party or by its directors, officers, employees, or representatives or at any time (unless such inspection or investigation reveals the existence of an Indemnified Claim and such party proceeds with Closing), whether before or after the Closing Date.
(e) Other Indemnification Provisions. A claim for any matter not involving a third party may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.
(f) Dispute Resolution. Any dispute arising out of or relating to claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article 16 or any other dispute hereunder, shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified herein, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for the resolution of any such disputes.
17. Notices. Any notice, request for consent or approval, election or other communication provided for or required by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand, by air courier service, postage prepaid (certified with return receipt requested), fax transmission or electronic transmission followed by delivery of the hard copy of such communication by air courier service or mail as aforesaid, addressed to the person to whom such notice is intended to be given at such address as such person may have previously furnished in writing to the such party’s last known address.

20. Severability.
