5.Brokers. Each party covenants, warrants and represents that no broker or agent was instrumental in bringing about or consummating this Amendment. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless against and from any claims for any brokerage commissions and all costs, expenses, and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of any conversations or negotiations had by the indemnifying party with any broker or agent.
