The restrictive covenant contained in this Section 6.4 is a covenant independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties.

(c)If any of the provisions contained in this Section 6.4 shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, then such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be valid and enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable Law or the determination by a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.5Release from Guarantees. As soon as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, no later than May 27, 2022), Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including substituting Seller with Purchaser) to remove and fully release, or cause the removal and full release, of Seller and any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) from any and all guarantees of any Liabilities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries, and Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in order to effectuate the provisions of this Section 6.5.

Subject to the provisions of this Article 7, each Party (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates, Representatives, successors, transferees and assignees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of any Claims or Actions that arise out of, relate to or result from (i) any breach by an Indemnifying Party of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation, or agreement of the Indemnifying Party in this Agreement and (ii) any representation or warranty made by the Parties to this Agreement not having been true and correct and as of the Closing.

7.3Seller Indemnification. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, Representatives, successors, transferees and assignees from, against and in respect of any Losses or Actions that arise out of, relate to or result from any breaches of Section 4.7.

7.4Purchaser Indemnification. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its subsidiaries), Representatives, successors, transferees and assignees from, against and in respect of any Losses or Actions that arise out of, relate to or result from any and all guarantees of any Liabilities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries by any of Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its subsidiaries).

7.5Indemnification Procedure. Each Indemnified Party shall timely provide notice of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 (a “Claim Notice”) in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying the nature and basis for such claim and a copy of all papers supporting, pertaining to, or served with, any such claim (if any); provided, however, that an Indemnified Party’s failure to send or delay in sending a Claim Notice shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent and only to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any legal action without the Indemnifying Party’s express written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, “Indemnifying Party” as used in this Section 7.5 shall include Seller under

​

12

Section 7.3 and Purchaser under Section 7.4, and “Indemnified Party” as used in this Section 7.5 shall include Purchaser and its Affiliates, Representatives, successors, transferees and assignees under Section 7.3 and Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its subsidiaries), Representatives, successors, transferees and assignees under Section 7.4.

7.6Control of Third-Party Claims.

(a)In the event of the assertion of any Claim or Action against any Indemnified Party by a claimant that is not a party to this Agreement with respect to a matter subject to indemnity hereunder (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party, at its option, may assume (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) at its sole cost and expense the defense of such Third-Party Claim if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such Third-Party Claim, and may assert any defense of the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its own expense to participate jointly with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Third-Party Claim. Counsel representing both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party must acknowledge in writing its obligation to act as counsel for all parties being represented and must acknowledge and respect separate attorney-client privileges with respect to each party represented. If the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake the defense of any Third-Party Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense or settlement of the Third-Party Claim, including providing access to information, making documents available for inspection and copying, and making employees available for interviews, depositions, hearings, and trial. The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b)If the Indemnifying Party, by the thirtieth (30^th) day after receipt of notice of any Third-Party Claim (or, if earlier, by the tenth (10^th) day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the person asserting such Third-Party Claim) does not assume actively and in good faith the defense of any such Third-Party Claim or action resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, defend against such Claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense, unless the Parties agree otherwise. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

7.7No Right of Set-Off. Neither Party may set-off any amount that may be owed to them by the other Party, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, against any amount that they owe to the other Party.
