Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a commitment or obligation of the Purchaser to offer employment, or otherwise continue the employment of, any of the employees.

8.2 Nonassignable Contracts. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, convey, assign, sublease or transfer any Purchased Assets if any attempted sale, conveyance, assignment, sublease or transfer of such assets, without the consent of another Person to such transfer, would constitute a breach by Seller or the Purchaser with respect to such Purchased Asset. In the event that any required consent is not obtained on or prior to the date of this Agreement, Seller will use their best efforts to (i) provide to the Purchaser the benefits of the applicable Assumed Contract, (ii) cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Purchaser and (iii) enforce at the request of the Purchaser and for the account of the Purchaser any rights of Seller arising from any such Assumed Contract (including the right to elect to terminate such Assumed Contract in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of the Purchaser).

In the event that the Purchaser sells the entire portfolio of Consumer Notes after the Closing Date, the Seller agrees to either assign all of its rights with respect to the Contracts set forth on Schedule 8.3 to the extent

that the purchaser of the Consumer Notes desires to assume such Contracts or to make the benefits of such Contracts available to the purchaser on the same basis provided to the Purchaser in this Section 8.3. Purchaser agrees to use its best efforts to consummate a sale of the portfolio of Consumer Notes within 14 days of the Closing Date, and, in any event, Seller shall have the right to terminate all commitments and obligations set forth in this Section 8.3 by the 30^th day following the Closing Date.

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 9.2(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.

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 9.2(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 9.2(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.

9.3 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 third 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 6.13 (Employee Benefit Plans), 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), Section 6.21 (Indebtedness) 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.

9.4 Right of Setoff. If any Indemnifying Party fails to make any payment as contemplated by this Article IX, or if any Indemnifying Party shall fail to make any payment due and owing any Indemnified Party under the terms of this Agreement, then such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to elect to offset such amount against any amount due and owing any Indemnifying Party under the terms of any of this Agreement, provided, further, that if the Purchaser is the Indemnified Party then it may elect to offset any such amount against any of the Subordinated Notes delivered to the Subordinated Noteholders at the Closing, provided, however, that the Purchaser must first offset against the Subordinated Note delivered to Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx until there is no further amount due thereunder before it offsets against any of the Subordinated Notes held by the other Subordinated Noteholders.
