(d) any Closing Indebtedness or inaccuracies in the Working Capital Statement;

(i) any Taxes of the Acquired Companies with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and (ii) the unpaid Taxes of any Person (other than the Acquired Companies) for which any Acquired Company is liable as a transferee or successor, by Contract, or otherwise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as a result of any tax grouping arrangements);

	(ii)	arises or is increased as a result of an increase in rates of Taxes after Closing;

	(iii)	arises or is increased as a result of any Applicable Laws enunciated practice enacted, made, in force or allowed (as appropriate), after the Closing Date;

	(i)	stating that an Indemnitee has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10;

	(ii)	to the extent possible, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled to receive, which shall be the amount of Damages such Indemnitee claims to have so incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer; and

	(iii)	specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Purchaser) the material facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such claim.

	(iv)	No delay in providing such Officer’s Claim Certificate prior to the Expiration Date shall affect an Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Sellers are materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) If the Sellers in good faith object to any claim made by Purchaser in any Officer’s Claim Certificate, then the Sellers shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Sellers of the Officer’s Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by Purchaser in the Officer’s Claim Certificate. If the Sellers do not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to Purchaser prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then (i) each claim for indemnification set forth in such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in Purchaser’s favor for purposes of this Article 10 on the terms set forth in the Officer’s Claim Certificate. If the Sellers deliver a Claim Dispute Notice, then Purchaser and the Sellers shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Sellers in such Claim Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and the Sellers agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by Purchaser and the Sellers shall be prepared and signed by both parties.

(c) If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following Purchaser’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Purchaser or the Sellers may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with Sections 11.07, 11.08 and 11.09.

(b) Purchaser shall not enter into settlement of any Claim without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Purchaser shall give the Sellers prompt notice of the commencement of any such Claim against an Indemnitee; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Purchaser to so notify the Sellers shall not limit any of the obligations of the Sellers under this Article 10 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). Such notice shall describe the Claim in reasonable detail based upon the information then possessed by Purchaser, include copies of all material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable and to the extent known to Purchaser, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee.

Section 10.07 Exercise of Remedies by Indemnitees Other Than Purchaser.

No Indemnitee (other than Purchaser or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Purchaser (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.
