5.2 Claim Procedure.
5.2.1 Indemnification Claim Procedure. Except as provided in Section 5.2.2 with respect to Third Party claims, in the event of a claim made by a Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give reasonably prompt written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”), which notice (an “Indemnification Certificate”) shall: (a) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay or accrue Losses that are subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 5.1.1 or Section 5.1.2, as applicable, and (b) specify in reasonable detail the individual items and amounts of such Losses, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated Liability, and a description of the basis of such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to give reasonably prompt notice shall not relieve the applicable Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by any delay in receiving such notice. In the event that the Indemnifying Party agrees to or is determined to have an obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for Losses as provided in this Article 5, the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, promptly (but, in any event, within 30 days) pay such amount to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party may defer making such payment if it objects in a written statement to the claim made in the Indemnification Certificate and delivers such statement to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of such 30-day period. An Indemnifying Party’s failure to object within such 30-day period to any claim set forth in an Indemnification Certificate shall be deemed to be the Indemnifying Party’s acceptance of, and waiver of any objections to, such claim. If an Indemnifying Party shall so object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Indemnification Certificate, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for a period of 20 days following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such objection notice to agree upon the respective rights of the parties with respect to each of such claims. If no such agreement can be reached after such 20-day period of good faith negotiation, either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may initiate Litigation for purposes of having the matter settled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

5.2.2 Third Party Claim Procedure. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a claim made by a Third Party (including any action or proceeding commenced or threatened to be commenced by any Third Party) that such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 5.1, such Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days after becoming aware of such claim) notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim (such notice, the “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by the Third Party making such claim and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability hereunder except to the extent of any damage or Liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure. Within 30 days after receipt of any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of the claim referred to therein at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense (which shall be subject to Section 5.3) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of the defense of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of such claim. The Party not controlling the defense of such claim (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of such claim and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have materially conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such claim that cause the Indemnified Party to hire its own separate counsel with respect to such proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of a single counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The Party controlling the defense of such claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such claim. Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required with respect to any such settlement or judgment if the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay or cause to be paid any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment (net of the applicable deductible amount specified in Section 5.3.1) and such settlement or judgment includes no admission of liability by or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from further Liability.
5.3 Limitations on Indemnification.
5.3.1 The provisions for indemnity under Section 5.1.1(a) or Section 5.1.2(a) shall be effective only (a) for any individual claim or series of related claims arising from the same facts and circumstances where the Loss exceeds [***] or (b) when the aggregate amount of all Losses for claims or series of related claims arising from the same facts and circumstances in excess of [***] for which indemnification is sought from any Indemnifying Party exceeds [***] (the “Deductible”), in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification of the Indemnified Party’s Losses in excess thereof. In no event shall any Indemnifying Party have liability for indemnification under Section 5.1.1(a) or Section 5.1.2(a), as applicable, for any amount exceeding, in the aggregate, [***] (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Deductible and Cap shall not apply to any breach attributable to fraud or intentional misrepresentation. [***].

5.3.2 If the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 5.1.1 or Section 5.1.2 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a Third Party based on the underlying claim asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against such Third Party as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Third Party the amount of such payment.
5.3.3 The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect thereafter through and including the date that is [***] after the Effective Date. None of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing other than those that by their terms expressly contemplate performance after the Effective Date and such surviving covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing until fully performed.
5.3.4 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT AS A RESULT OF FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, NEITHER BUYER NOR SELLER SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER, OR THEIR AFFILIATES, FOR ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR SUITS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR INCOME, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY (WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE AT THE EXECUTION DATE), CONNECTED WITH OR RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATED HERETO, INCLUDING ANY SUCH DAMAGES WHICH ARE BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND MISREPRESENTATION), BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OPERATION OF LAW OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF RECOVERY.
5.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All payments made pursuant to this Article 5 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
5.5 Exclusive Remedy. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement and subject to Section 6.9, each Party acknowledges and agrees that, following the Closing, the remedies provided for in this Article 5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for claims and damages available to the Parties and their respective Affiliates arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that nothing herein shall limit the Liability of either Party for common law fraud or willful misconduct.

5.6 Disclaimer. Except as expressly set forth in any representation or warranty in Section 3.1, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it and other Buyer Indemnitees shall have no claim or right to indemnification pursuant to this Article 5 (or otherwise) with respect to any information, documents, or materials furnished to or for Buyer by Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors, including any information, documents, or material made available to Buyer in any form in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, except that nothing herein shall limit the Liability of either Party for common law fraud or willful misconduct.
