11.1 General Indemnification Obligation. As Purchaser’s exclusive remedy, each member of the Seller Group shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, fines, judgments, awards, settlements, taxes, costs, fees, expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and disbursements (collectively, the “Losses”) actually sustained by any of such Persons based upon, arising out of

or otherwise in respect of (a) any inaccuracies in any representation or warranty, or any breach of any covenant or agreement of any member of the Seller Group contained in this Agreement (including any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto) or any Ancillary Agreement, and (b) any of the Retained Liabilities. As each member of the Sellers Group’s exclusive remedy, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Group and each of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any and all Losses actually sustained by any of such Persons resulting from (a) any inaccuracies in any representation or warranty, or any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement (including any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto) or any Ancillary Agreement, and (b) any of the Assumed Liabilities.

11.2 Notice and Opportunity to Defend.

(a) Notice of Asserted Liability. As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Seller Group, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, becomes aware of any claim that may result in a Loss, but for which it or they are entitled to indemnification under Section 11.1 hereof (a “Liability Claim”), such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”) to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”). A Claims Notice shall describe the Liability Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.2(a) shall adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies which the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent that such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Opportunity to Defend. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claims Notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement or assertion of any Liability Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article 11 for a claim brought by a third party to assume and conduct the defense of such Liability Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) the defense of such Liability Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result; and (iii) the Liability Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall hold the Indemnified Party harmless and obtain the unconditional release of the Indemnified Party for any obligation for the Liability Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement (the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) are collectively referred to as the “Litigation Conditions”). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Liability Claim in accordance with this Section 11.2(b), the Indemnified Party may continue to defend the Liability Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Liability Claim as provided in this Section 11.2(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses

subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) any of the Litigation Conditions cease to be met or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Liability Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, has the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Liability Claim that the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Liability Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Liability Claim which (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a complete release from all liability in respect of such Liability Claim, or (ii) grants any injunctive or equitable relief or (iii) may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the affected business of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle any Liability Claim, the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party.

11.3 Survivability of Representations and Warranties and Covenants; Limitations on Indemnification. The representations and warranties of the Seller Group and the Purchaser combined in this Agreement will survive for a period ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that (i) the Expiration Date for any Liability Claim relating to a breach of or an inaccuracy in the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.9 (Litigation), Section 6.10 (Compliance with Laws), Section 6.14 (Environmental) and Section 6.22 (Taxes) shall be the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions, suspension or tolling under applicable Law); (ii) there will be no Expiration Date for any Liability Claim relating to a breach of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.1 (Existence and Good Standing), Section 6.2 (Power), Section 6.3 (Enforceability), Section 6.6(a) (Title), and Section 6.24 (Brokers) (the representations and warranties set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.3(a) are, collectively, the “Excluded Representations”) and (iii) any Liability Claim pending on any Expiration Date for which a Claims Notice has been given in accordance with Section 11.2(a) on or before such Expiration Date may continue to be asserted and indemnified against until finally resolved. All of the covenants and agreements of the Sellers and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive after the Closing Date in accordance with their terms for an indefinite period. There will be no Expiration Date for any Liability Claim relating to fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

11.4 Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11 or elsewhere in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability as a result of any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty in this Agreement (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all such Losses sustained by the Indemnifying Party exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) (the “Basket”), in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all such Losses without regard to such threshold (including the first $25,000) or (ii) in excess of the Closing Payment (the “Cap”), provided, however, that the Basket and the Cap shall not apply to the Excluded Representations, or with respect to fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement.
