before the first (1st) anniversary date of the Effective Date, Exterra notifies

(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section
4.2 or 4.3 of written notice (the "Notice of Claim") of the commencement of any
action, suit or proceeding against it, or written threat thereof, such
indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party
under either of said sections, as applicable, give notice to the indemnifying
party of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnified
party shall furnish to the indemnifying party in reasonable detail such
information as the indemnified party may have with respect to such
indemnification claims (including copies of any summons, complaint or other
pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand,
invoice, billing or other document evidencing or assenting the same). Subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 4.4, no failure or delay by the indemnified
party in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the
obligation of the indemnifying party to indemnify and hold the indemnified party
harmless except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have materially
and adversely affected the indemnifying party's ability to defend against,
settle or satisfy any action, suit or proceeding the claim for which the
indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(b) If the claim or demand set forth in the Notice of Claim given
by the indemnified party is a claim or demand asserted by a third party, the
indemnifying party has thirty (30) days after the Date of Notice of Claim to
notify the indemnified party in writing of its election to defend such third
party claim or demand on behalf of the indemnified party (the "Notice Period ");
provided, however, that the indemnified party is authorized to file any motion,
answer or other pleading which it deems necessary or appropriate to protect its
interests during the Notice Period. If the indemnifying party elects to defend
such third party claim or demand, the indemnified party shall make available to
the indemnifying party and its agents and representatives all records and other
materials which are reasonably required in the defense of such third party claim
or demand and shall otherwise cooperate (at the sole cost and expense of the
indemnifying party) with, and assist (at the sole cost and expense of the
indemnifying party) the indemnifying party in the defense of, such third party
claim or demand, and so long as the indemnifying party is diligently defending
such third party claim in good faith, the indemnified party shall not pay,
settle or compromise such third party claim or demand. The indemnified party has
the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the indemnifying
party in any such action and to participate therein, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel will be at the indemnified party's own expense, unless (a) the
employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party,
(b) such indemnified party will have been advised by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnifying party that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such
counsel it is advisable for such Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel,
or (c) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action
and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which
case the fees will be paid by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party
assumed the defense of any claim or proceeding in accordance with this Section
4.6, the indemnifying party will be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or
the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or proceeding, with the
prior written consent of such indemnified party, not to be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that the indemnifying party is not authorized to
encumber any of the assets of any indemnified party or to agree to any
restriction that would apply to any indemnified party or to its conduct of
business; and provided further, that a condition to any such settlement is a
complete release of such indemnified party and its affiliates, directors,
officers, employees and agents with respect to such claim, including any
reasonably foreseeable collateral consequences thereof.
If the indemnifying party does not elect to defend such third party
claim or demand or does not defend such third party claim or demand in good
faith, the indemnified party shall have the right, in addition to any other
right or remedy it may have hereunder at the indemnifying party's expense, to
defend such third party claim or demand. The failure of the indemnified party to
notify the indemnifying party as provided herein will not relieve the
indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to notify.
(c) The term "Date of Notice of Claim" shall mean the date the
Notice of Claim is effective pursuant to Section 4.4 of this Agreement.
4.7 Procedure for Indemnification--Other Claims. A claim for
indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted
by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
4.8 Exclusive Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the remedies provided in this Article IV are the exclusive
remedies of the parties to this Agreement for breach of any representations,
warranties, covenants or agreement in this Agreement and limit any other
remedies that may be available to any indemnified party.
