10.3 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided for in this Article X shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by the Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against the Indemnifying Party.
10.4 Recoveries. In the event an Indemnified Party subsequently receives payment (including without limitation proceeds of insurance and payments on accounts receivable) with respect to a matter for which it has been fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay the amount of such payment up to the indemnification received, to the Indemnifying Party.
