ARTICLE 7

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification.

(a) Each Contributor shall indemnify and hold Mammoth and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives, controlling persons, members, stockholders and similarly situated persons, harmless from and pay any and all Damages directly or indirectly, resulting from, relating to, arising out of or attributable to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty such Contributor has made in this Agreement; or (ii) any breach, violation or default by such Contributor of any covenant, agreement or obligation of such Contributor in this Agreement.

(b) Mammoth shall indemnify and hold each Contributor and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives, controlling persons, members, partners, stockholders and similarly situated persons, harmless from and pay any and all Damages directly or indirectly, resulting from, relating

-10-

to, arising out of or attributable to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty Mammoth has made in this Agreement; or (ii) any breach, violation or default by Mammoth of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Mammoth in this Agreement.

7.2 Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a) If any Action is commenced or threatened that may give rise to a claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim”) by any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any person obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party (an “Indemnitor”), then such Indemnified Party will promptly give notice to the Indemnitor. Failure to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the defense of such Action is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. An Indemnitor may elect at any time to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Indemnification Claim with counsel of the Indemnitor’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not approve of the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval (which must not be withheld unreasonably). Until an Indemnitor assumes the defense of the Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Indemnification Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party reasonably deems appropriate. If the Indemnified Party gives an Indemnitor notice of an Indemnification Claim and the Indemnitor does not, within ten (10) days after such notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Indemnification Claim and thereafter promptly assume such defense, then the Indemnitor will be bound by any judicial determination made with respect to such Indemnification Claim or any compromise or settlement of such Indemnification Claim effected by the Indemnified Party.

(b) A claim for any matter not involving a third party may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.
