(i) Failure to Perform Obligations. Any Event of Loss (as defined below) or Loss (as defined below) arising as a result of ROKIN’s failure to perform or discharge any of its duties or obligations to be performed by ROKIN hereunder; and
(ii) Breach of Representations, Warranties or Covenants. Any Event of Loss or Loss arising from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of ROKIN set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Indemnity Agreement of LVGI. Subject to the provisions and limitations of this Section, each of LVGI, for itself, its successors and assigns, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ROKIN and its officers, directors, representatives, and agents from and against:
(i) Failure to Perform Obligations. Any Event of Loss or Loss arising as a result of LVGI's failure to discharge or perform any duties or obligations to be performed by LVGI or hereunder; and
(ii) Breach of Representations. Warranties or Covenants. Any Event of Loss or Loss arising from any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of LVGI as set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Definition of "Loss". Any party to this Agreement against whom or which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Section shall be herein called an "Indemnifying Party." and any person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section shall be herein called an "Indemnified Party." The occurrence of an event which may result in a loss, cost, expense or liability of an Indemnified Party hereunder as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have received notice from the Indemnified Party shall be herein called an "Event of Loss," and the amount of any loss, cost, expense or liability of any kind whatsoever (including legal fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith) incurred by an Indemnified Party shall be herein called a "Loss;" provided, however, that for purposes of computing the amount of Loss incurred by any Indemnified Party, there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds (other than self-insurance) directly or indirectly received by such Indemnified Party in connection with such Loss or the circumstances giving rise thereto. Upon payment by an Indemnified Party of any Loss, the indemnifying Party shall discharge its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against such Loss by paying to the Indemnified Party an amount that, on an after-tax basis reflecting the hypothetical tax consequences, if any, of the receipt of such amount, shall be equal to the hypothetical after-tax amount of such Loss by taking into account the hypothetical tax consequences, if any, to the Indemnified Party of the payment of such Loss. For purposes of this Section, references to "after-tax" basis, "hypothetical" tax consequences and "hypothetical" after-tax amount refer to calculations of foreign, federal, state and local tax at the maximum statutory rate (or rates, in the case of an item of income or deduction taxable or deductible for purposes of more than one tax) applicable to the Indemnified Party for the relevant year, after taking into account, for example, the effect of deductions available for other taxes such as state and local income taxes, which effect would similarly be calculated on the basis of the maximum statutory rate (or rales) of the tax (or taxes) for which such deduction was available.
(d) Insurance Proceeds Received After Indemnification. Each party agrees that, if it receives any payments from the other party hereto with respect to any Loss pursuant to this Section and subsequently such party receives any amount of insurance proceeds (other than from self-insurance) in connection with any such Loss or the circumstances giving rise thereto, such party agrees to promptly deliver or cause to be delivered the amount of such insurance proceeds to the party that made such indemnification payments pursuant to this Section; provided, however, a party shall not be required to pay (or cause to be paid) to the other party an amount of insurance proceeds in excess of the payment in respect of the related Loss paid by the Indemnifying Party.
(e) Deductible Amount and Time Period. An Indemnifying Party shall not be required to make any indemnification payments hereunder for which such Indemnifying Party would otherwise be liable under this Section until (and then only to the extent that) the total of all amounts to which, but for the provisions of this sentence, the Indemnified Party would be entitled pursuant to this Section with respect to all Losses actually exceeds twenty five thousand ($25,000); provided, however, that the limitations on liability set forth in this sentence shall not be applicable to (i) any claim against an Indemnifying Party alleging fraudulent misrepresentation or (ii) any payments to be made by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (other than those set forth in this Section) or any provision of the instruments of assumption referred to herein.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall have (i) no liability for any Loss arising out of claims of a person not a party or an affiliate of a party to this Agreement as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not have received notice within two (2) years from the Closing and (ii) no liability for any Loss arising out of claims under this Agreement (other than those referred to in clause (i) of this sentence) as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not have received notice within two (2) years from the Closing Date.
(g) Defense of Claims. In case any legal action shall be commenced or threatened (provided that in the case of a threatened legal action the Indemnified Party believes in good faith that an indemnifiable Loss is likely to occur) against an Indemnified Party which could result in a Loss, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing. After receipt of any such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice of exercise to the Indemnified Party promptly after receipt of the notice provided for in the next preceding sentence, to participate in and assume (and control) the defense of such action, at its own expense and with its own counsel, provided such counsel is satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such action, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments and events relating to such action. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, but the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be at its own expense except as set forth in the following sentence. The Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnified Party shall have retained such counsel due to actual or potential conflicting interests between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not elect to assume the defense of the action, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnifying Party in connection with its assumption of the defense of the action within a reasonable time after notice pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph is delivered to the effect that such action has been commenced or is threatened, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified Party to handle the defense of the action at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In no event will the Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement or admission of liability with respect to any action without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable therefore, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section. The Indemnifying Party may not settle any liability or claim subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section without the consent of the Indemnified Party and on any basis that does not provide for a full release of the Indemnified Party. Any participation in, or assumption of the defense of, any action by an Indemnifying Party shall be without prejudice to the right of the Indemnifying Party and shall not be construed as a waiver of its right to deny the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party. The giving of notice, as above provided, of a loss, damage, cost or expense claimed to be indemnifiable hereunder, to exercise the right, as the same is provided (and limited) herein, to participate in and assume control of the defense against such claim, shall be a prerequisite to any obligation to indemnity; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party’s rights pursuant to this Section shall not be forfeited by reason of a failure to give such notice or to cooperate in the defense to the extent such failure does not have a material and adverse effect on the defense of such matter. Notwithstanding any of the above, LVGI shall have control of any action arising from a tax claim to the extent such claim is reflected on LVGI’s tax returns.
(h) Payment of Loss: Subrogation. Any Loss for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to payment hereunder shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon written demand by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to any claims or rights of the Indemnified Party as against any other persons with respect to any Loss paid by the Indemnifying Party under this Section. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party to a reasonable extent, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, in the assertion by the Indemnifying Party of any such claims against such other persons.
(i) Notice of Event of Loss. Each party agrees that it will give notice to the other party hereunder promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, after the receipt by one of its responsible officers of knowledge of a state of facts which, if not corrected, would be an Event of Loss hereunder. Each party shall make available to the other party and its counsel and accountants, at reasonable times and for reasonable periods, during normal business hours, all books and records of such party relating to any such possible Event of Loss, and each party will render to the other such assistance as it may reasonably require of the other in order to insure prompt and adequate prosecution of the defense of any suit, claim or proceeding based upon such state of facts.

All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive to, and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.
11.8 Governing Law; Consent Jurisdiction; Venue.
