(i) Any Excluded Liability; and
(ii) Any liability of Seller which is not an Assumed Liability and which is imposed upon the Buyer or the Parent under any bulk transfer law of any jurisdiction or under any common law doctrine of de facto merger or successor liability so long as such liability arises out of the ownership, use or operation of the assets of the Seller, or the operation or conduct of the Business prior to the Closing.

6.4 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.3(a), in no event shall the Buyer or the Parent have or assert any claim against the Seller or the Shareholder, or the Seller or the Shareholder have or assert any claim against the Buyer and the Parent based upon or arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty, unless, until and to the extent that the aggregate of all such claims under Section 6.2(a), in the case of claims by the Buyer and the Parent, or under Section 6.3(a), in the case of claims by the Seller or the Shareholder, exceeds a Fifty Thousand Dollar ($50,000) aggregate threshold (at which point the indemnifying party will be obligated to indemnify the indemnified party from and against all such Adverse Consequences relating back to the first dollar). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the threshold limitation expressed in the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to claims by the Buyer or the Parent for breach by the Seller or the Shareholder of any of the Fundamental Representations. Furthermore, Buyer’s and Parent’s aggregate remedy with respect to any and all Adverse Consequences for breaches of representations and warranties hereunder by the Seller or the Shareholder shall not exceed the total Purchase Price payable hereunder.
6.5 Matters Involving Third Parties.
(a) If any third party shall notify any party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article 6, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced by such delay.
(b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third Party 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 Third Party 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 (it being understood that any Third Party Claim involving a person or entity which is a customer or supplier of the Buyer following the Closing, will be deemed to involve the possibility of such a precedential custom or practice), and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.
(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.5(b) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified 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), and (C) 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 Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).
| - 12 - |
(d) In the event any of the conditions in Section 6.5(b) above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified 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 Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified 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 Article 6.
6.6 Recoupment Under Royalty.
(a) If the Seller is obligated to indemnify the Buyer and the Parent or any other Indemnified Person for any indemnification claim in accordance with this Article 6, Buyer may set-off the amount of such claim against the Royalty amounts that would otherwise be owed to the Seller.
(b) If the Buyer intends to set-off any amount hereunder, Buyer shall provide not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Seller of its intention to do so, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor (a “Set-Off Notice”). If, within ten (10) days of its receipt of a Set-Off Notice, the Seller provides Buyer with written notice of Seller’s dispute with Buyer’s right to make such set-off, Buyer and Seller (and their respective representatives and advisors) shall meet (which may be accomplished telephonically) in good faith within five (5) days to attempt to resolve their dispute. If such dispute remains unresolved despite Buyer’s good faith attempt to meet with the Seller and resolve such dispute, Buyer may set-off under this Section 6.6 only (a) with respect to those indemnification claims that have been Finally Determined (as defined below), (b) as described in Section 6.6(c) relating to the escrow of the Royalty or (c) with the prior written consent of the Seller.
(c) In the event of a dispute with respect to any indemnification claim against the Seller made in good faith pursuant to this Article 6, and the liability for and amount of Adverse Consequences therefore, Buyer may withhold any payments due to the Seller under the Royalty, up to the disputed amount, but only if the Buyer deposits such withheld amounts into escrow in accordance with a mutually agreed upon escrow agreement, provided that if the parties cannot agree upon the terms of the escrow agreement or the escrow agent, the Buyer shall deposit the withheld payments with a court of competent jurisdiction in Wayne, Pennsylvania. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Finally Determined” shall mean with respect to any indemnification claim made, and the liability for and amount of Losses therefor, when the parties to such claim have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a judgment has been issued by a court or arbitral panel having proper jurisdiction.
