(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Seller under ARTICLE 5 of this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement;

(a) Basket. Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee from and against any Loss pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i) until the Buyer Indemnitee has first suffered aggregate Losses in excess of Three Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($300,000.00) (the “Basket”) (at which point the Seller shall be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitee for only such Losses in excess of the Basket and subject to the cap provisions of Section 9.03(b)); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply with respect to (i) any claims based on or relating to fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (ii) any Losses relating to a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation or (iii) the matters addressed in Sections 2.04(a) and 9.02(a)(ii).

 

(b) Cap. In no event will Seller have any obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee after the cumulative total of all Losses claimed by Buyer Indemnitees exceeds Six Million Six Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($6,600,000.00).

 

(c) Exclusive Remedy. Except for any claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, equitable remedies to enforce the covenants contained herein, any Losses relating to a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation, and the matters described in Section 2.04(a) and Section 9.02(a)(ii), the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the performance or the alleged non-performance by the Parties of their obligations under this Agreement.

 

(d) Cooperation. An Indemnified Party must, at the Indemnifying Party’s request, cooperate in the defense of any matter subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 9.

 

Page 17 of 25
 

 

(e) Special Damages. Excluding punitive damages recoverable in the event of fraud or intentional misrepresentation and the matters described in Section 2.04(a) and Section 9.02(a)(ii), no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover under this ARTICLE 9 any consequential, incidental, indirect, or punitive damages.

 

(f) Insurance. Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 in respect of any Losses will be limited to the amount of any Losses that remain after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds or any similar third-party recovery actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such Losses, less any directly-related costs and expenses, including the reasonable aggregate out-of-pocket cost of pursuing any related insurance claim and any directly-related increases in insurance premiums or other chargebacks. Each Indemnified Party will diligently pursue any such insurance proceeds or other third-party recovery in connection with any Losses; provided, however, that each Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to commence an Action or other legal action to pursue such proceeds or other third-party recovery.

 

(g) Cure. To the extent that any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder is capable of remedy or cure, as a condition precedent to asserting a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party must afford the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity (which will not exceed 30 days from date of the Indemnified Party’s asserted claim related thereto) to remedy or cure such matter, and provide to the Indemnifying Party all reasonable access and other assistance as is reasonably appropriate in connection with such remedy or cure, provided that the foregoing assistance shall not including making any payment to any Person of any monies which, for avoidance of doubt, will remain the responsibility of the Indemnifying Party.

 

(h) Mitigation. In the event of any matter giving rise to an indemnity obligation under this ARTICLE 9, the Parties shall be obligated to mitigate Losses under this Agreement to the extent required by Legal Requirements.

 

Section 9.04 Notices. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any actual or potential claim for which it is seeking indemnity under this ARTICLE 9 (a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”), but any delay or failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. The written notice shall state the nature and basis of such Claim in reasonable detail and state the amount of such Losses (or reasonable estimate thereof if the actual amount is not known or not capable of reasonable calculation). Any Claim against an Indemnified Party by a third party, whether or not involving an Action, is referred to herein as a “Third Party Claim,” and any other Claim against an Indemnified Party is referred to herein as a “Direct Claim”. Any survival period time limitations specified in Section 9.01 shall not apply to a Claim that has been subject of notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party given in good faith prior to expiration of such period.

Section 9.05 Matters Involving Third Parties.

 

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party, within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim and agrees that such Third Party Claim is properly indemnifiable by Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 9, subject to the limitations of Section 9.03, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim in an active and diligent manner. In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim within twenty (20) days after notice thereof is given by the Indemnified Party or fails to conduct such defense in an active and diligent manner, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim at the reasonable expense and for the account of the Indemnifying Party.

 

(b) So long as the conditions set forth in the first sentence of Section 9.05(a) are and remain satisfied, then: (i) the Indemnifying Party may conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.05(a); (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel to participate in such defense at its sole cost and expense (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if (A) the employment of separate counsel was authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (C) the Indemnified Party’s counsel has advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is an actual conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel); and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to any admission or the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement, which (A) imposes an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, (B) does not include an unconditional provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or (C) in the opinion of the Indemnified Party, would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on its business, operations, assets, or financial condition.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.05, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any Third Party Claim: (i) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified Party gives notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party or which, following assumption, the Indemnifying Party fails to actively and diligently defend; (ii) to the extent the Third Party Claim seeks an Order or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; (iii) in the case where the Losses claimed in connection therewith involve an amount in excess of the amount then available for indemnification in light of the limitations set forth in Section 9.03; (iv) if such Third-Party Claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal Action; or (v) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the action, lawsuit, investigation, proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to any liability on the part of the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 9.06 Direct Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall satisfy any Direct Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Direct Claim pursuant to Section 9.04. If the Direct Claim is not satisfied by the Indemnifying Party within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue any or all remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE 9 or otherwise.
