The covenants and other agreements of each Party contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until fully discharged in accordance with their terms, except for those covenants and agreements which shall be complied with or discharged prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)If written notice of a claim for indemnification has been given in accordance with this Section 9.2 prior to the time at which the applicable representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements would otherwise terminate pursuant to the foregoing, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements shall survive such time as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.

 

(c)The waiver of any condition relating to any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation will not affect the right to indemnification, payment, reimbursement, or other remedy based upon such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation.

 

9.2Indemnification.

 

From and after the date of the Closing, each Party, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Person”), shall indemnify and hold the other relevant Parties and their respective directors, officers and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, obligations, expenses and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to any investigative, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any pending or threatened legal action or proceeding, and any taxes or levies that may be payable by such person by reason of the indemnification of any indemnifiable loss hereunder (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of: (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Indemnifying Person contained in the Transaction Documents, or (ii) the violation or nonperformance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement of the Indemnifying Person contained in the Transaction Documents. In calculating the amount of any Losses of an Indemnified Person hereunder, there shall be subtracted the amount of any insurance proceeds and third-party payments received by the Indemnified Person with respect to such Losses, if any.

 

9.3Third-Party Claims.

 

(a)The Indemnified Person shall give notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim to the Indemnifying Person; provided, however, that no failure or delay on the part of an Indemnified Person in notifying an Indemnifying Person will relieve the Indemnifying Person from any obligation under this Section 9 except to the extent that the failure or delay materially prejudices the defense of the Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Person.

 

 17 

 

 

   (b)(i)Except as provided in Section 9, the Indemnifying Person may elect to assume the defense of the third-party claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person by (a) giving notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim and (b) giving the Indemnified Person evidence acceptable to the Indemnified Person that the Indemnifying Person has adequate financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its obligations under this Section 9, in each case no later than ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person gives notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim under Section 9.3(a).

 

(ii)If the Indemnifying Person elects to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim: (A) it shall diligently conduct the defense and, so long as it diligently conducts the defense, shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any Indemnified Person’s fees or expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim other than reasonable costs of investigation, (B) the election will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the Indemnified Person is entitled to relief under this Agreement for any loss arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with the Third-Party Claim, (C) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent unless (I) there is no finding or admission of any violation by the Indemnified Person of any Laws or any rights of any Person, (II) the Indemnified Person receives a full release of and from any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person by the Third Party bringing the Third-Party Claim, and (III) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person, and (D) the Indemnifying Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.

 

(iii)If the Indemnifying Person does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in the manner and within the period provided in Section 9.3(b)(i), or if the Indemnifying Person does not diligently conduct the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnifying Person shall be bound by any determination resulting from such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

 

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or any Affiliate other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to relief under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Third-Party Claim.

 

 18 

 

 

(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.12, the Parties consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of determining any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such proceeding or the matters alleged therein.

 

(e)With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to this Section 9.3: (i) any Indemnified Person and any Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related proceeding at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and shall cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

 

(f)In addition to Section 10, with respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to this Section 9.3, the Parties shall cooperate in a manner to reserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work product privileges. In connection therewith, each Party agrees that: (i) it shall use its best efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure) and (ii) all communications between any Party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

 

(g)Any claim under this Section 9.3 for any matter involving a Third-Party Claim shall be indemnified, paid, or reimbursed promptly. If the Indemnified Person shall for any reason assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall reimburse the Indemnified Person on a monthly basis for the costs of investigation and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person.

 

9.4Indemnitee Negligence.

 

The provisions in this Section 9 shall be enforceable regardless of whether the liability is based upon past, present or future acts, claims or Laws and regardless of whether any Person (including the Person from whom relief is sought) alleges or proves the sole, concurrent, contributory, or comparative negligence of the Person seeking relief, or the sole or concurrent strict liability imposed upon the person seeking relief.
