(b) If any claim or demand by an Indemnified Person under this Article VIII relates to an action or claim filed or made against an Indemnified Person by a Third Party, the Indemnifying Party may elect at any time to negotiate a settlement or a compromise of such action or claim or to defend such action or claim, in each case at its sole cost and expense and with its own counsel; provided, (i) that such settlement or compromise shall include a waiver and release by the Third Party of all Indemnified Persons; (ii) that the Indemnifying Party’s retention of counsel shall be subject to the consent of the Indemnified Person if such counsel creates a direct legal conflict with an Indemnified Person or an unreasonable risk of disclosure of confidential information concerning an Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; and (iii) that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the consent of the Indemnified Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

The Party in charge of the defense shall keep the other Parties fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnified Person’s sole cost and expense.

SECTION 8.04. Indemnification Generally; Guarantees.

The amount which the Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Person pursuant to

this Article VIII shall be reduced (retroactively, if necessary) by any insurance proceeds, tax benefits or other amounts recovered by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person in mitigation of, or related to, the related Damages, after accounting for the costs of obtaining such insurance. If an Indemnified Person shall have received the payment required by Article VIII of this Agreement from the Indemnifying Party in respect of Damages and shall subsequently receive insurance proceeds, tax benefits or other amounts in respect of such Damages, then such Indemnified Person shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds, tax benefits or other amounts actually received, after deducting the costs of obtaining such insurance.

(b) In addition to the requirements of Section 8.04(a), each Indemnified Person shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article VIII to use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to such Damages.

(c) Subject to the rights of any Person providing insurance as contemplated by Section 8.04(a) above, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to any right of action that the Indemnified Person may have against any other Person with respect to any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder.

(d) If before the Closing, a Warrantor has knowledge of the existence of a claim or other event or occurrence in respect of which an Indemnified Warrantor Person would be entitled to assert a claim under this Article VIII or if Investor has knowledge of the existence of a claim or other event or occurrence in respect of which an Indemnified Investor Person would be entitled to assert a claim under this Article VIII, such claim may not be asserted unless the Party having such knowledge has submitted a notice in respect thereof in accordance with Section 6.04(b) and such claim shall be subject to any settlement reached in accordance with Section 6.04(b).

(e) The indemnification provided in this Article VIII shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Party hereto with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or otherwise in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (X) in case of a breach of Section 2.02(e), Section 6.01 [confidentiality], or Section 6.03 [further action], for which the remedy of specific performance may be sought, or (Y) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing,

(i) Investor hereby waives (on behalf of itself, each of its Affiliates, and each Indemnified Investor Person), from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud) it may have against any Warrantor, Relevant Company or Affiliate thereof (including officers, directors, advisors and representatives thereof) arising under or based upon this Agreement, any document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, any applicable Law (including any relating to environmental matters) or otherwise (except
