(i) If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this §7, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

(ii) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at any time within 10 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard; and provided further that the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim.

(iii) So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7(d)(ii) above, (A) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the

entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by one or more of the Indemnifying Parties and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party pays such money damages in full or obtains a release of the Indemnified Party from and against any losses, damages, expenses, and liabilities arising out of such settlement or judgment and (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).

(e) General Provisions Relating to Remedies and Indemnification.

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party (or any of its affiliates) with respect to such Losses, (ii) any Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party (or any of its affiliates) arising from the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Losses and (iii) any recoveries obtained by the Indemnified Party (or any of its affiliates) from any other third party. Each Indemnified Party shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds, benefits, and recoveries. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnified Party (or any of its affiliates) with respect to any such Losses after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment with respect to such a Loss, the Indemnified Party (or such affiliate) shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment. Any Tax benefit realized by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7 (a) shall be calculated based on the highest marginal federal and state tax rate for Buyer, Seller, or Seller Stockholder, as applicable, and assuming that the Tax benefit can be fully utilized, either currently or in a carryback.

(ii) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party (and its affiliates) against any third party in respect of the Losses to which such payment relates. Such Indemnified Party (and its affiliates) and the Indemnifying Party will execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights.

(iii) Seller and Seller’s Stockholder shall have no obligation to indemnify Buyer or otherwise have liability to Buyer for consequential damages, special damages, incidental damages, indirect damages, lost profits or similar items. Buyer shall have no obligation to indemnify Seller or Seller’s Stockholder or otherwise have liability to Seller or Seller’s Stockholder for consequential damages, special damages, incidental damages, indirect damages, lost profits or similar items.

(iv) The party entitled to indemnification shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate all indemnifiable liabilities and damages upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any liabilities and damages that are indemnifiable hereunder.

(v) Buyer shall not bring a claim or be entitled to indemnification with respect to any facts or circumstances resulting in a breach of any representation or warranty of which Buyer had Knowledge on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not limit the Buyer’s right to indemnification under Section 7(h) subject to the limitation set forth in the immediately subsequent sentence. Buyer shall not bring a claim or be entitled to indemnification with respect to any facts or circumstances relating to any lights, ballasts or transformers containing PCBs currently or formerly located on the Real Property.

(f) Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentations, the provisions of this Section 7 shall provide the parties with the exclusive remedy for any breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to any Retained Liability relating to violations of Environmental Health and Safety Requirements or releases of Hazardous Materials, and except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentations, the provisions of this Section 7 shall provide the parties with the exclusive remedy.

(g) Limitation on Indemnification. No party shall be entitled to any indemnification until it makes a written claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 to the party owing the indemnification, within the survival period of the indemnification and the aggregate of all losses of the claiming party, to which it would otherwise be entitled to indemnification hereunder exceeds the sum of $25,000 (the “Deductible”). The parties agree that such limit applies to losses in the aggregate, and not to each individual loss, such that once the aggregate of a party’s indemnifiable losses exceed the Deductible, that party shall be entitled to indemnification for all losses not relating to violations of Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements or releases of Hazardous Materials in excess of the Deductible up to but not exceeding an amount equal to $500,000 (the “Limit”), except that if the loss is the result of fraud then there shall be no Limit or Deductible and such party shall have the right to full indemnification for all losses incurred. This Section 7(g) shall not apply to Adverse Consequences that arise as a result of violations of Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements or releases of Hazardous Materials by Seller prior to the Effective Time.

(h) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 7(g) above, Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification from Seller for all Adverse Consequences up to and not exceeding an amount equal to $1,250,000 to the extent such Adverse Consequences arise as a result of violations of Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements or releases of Hazardous Materials by Seller prior to the Effective Time. On or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Buyer 1 nor Buyer 2 shall sue Seller or Seller’s Stockholder or bring a claim or be entitled to indemnification from Seller or Seller’s Stockholder for any violations of Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements or releases of Hazardous Materials except to the extent that the Adverse Consequences consist of Adverse Consequences that arise as a result of any claim by a third party or any Governmental Entity against the Buyer relating to violations of Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements or releases of Hazardous Materials by Seller occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, further, however, if at any time Buyer 1 or Buyer 2 is named as a defendant in any proceeding concerning violations of Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements or releases of Hazardous Materials by Seller occurring prior to the Effective Time, Buyer 1 or Buyer 2 may join Seller as a third party defendant or an additional defendant in such proceeding.
