6.1Indemnification by the Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VI, from and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates, and its and their respective equityholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, partners, representatives, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, damages, obligations, liabilities, fines, fees, penalties, interest, awards, judgments and claims of any kind, including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and other reasonable legal costs and expenses incurred in prosecution, investigation, remediation, defense or settlement (collectively, “Damages”) to the extent arising from or relating to:
(a)any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Seller contained in this Agreement;
(b)any breach by the Seller of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;
(c)any Excluded Liabilities; or
(d)Seller’s Taxes.
6.2Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VI, from and after the Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates, and its and their respective equityholders, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, partners, representatives, successors and assigns from and against any and all Damages to the extent arising from or relating to:
(a)any breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement;
(b)any breach or failure to perform by the Buyer of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; or
(c)any Assumed Liabilities.
6.3Claims for Indemnification.
(a)Third Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. A Person entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE VI (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party (a “Third Party Claim Notice”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnified Party to timely give the notice provided in this Section 6.3 to the Indemnifying Party shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from recovering Damages unless
31


and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it was actually prejudiced and directly damaged by such failure. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indemnifying Party” means (i) in the case of a claim for indemnification by the Buyer, the Seller and (ii) in the case of a claim for indemnification by the Seller, the Buyer. Such Third Party Claim Notice shall include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) of the facts constituting the basis for such third party claim and the amount of the Damages claimed. Within [***] after delivery of such Third Party Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel of such defense with reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if the claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (A) seeks non-monetary relief, (B) involves criminal allegations, or (C) is one in which the Indemnifying Party is also a party and joint representation would be inappropriate or there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party (other than the payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
(b)Procedure for Claims Not Involving Third Parties. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE VI that does not involve a third party claim shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) which contains (i) a description and the amount of any actual or estimated Damages, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE VI and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnified Party to timely give the Claim Notice provided in this Section 6.3 to the Indemnifying Party shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from recovering Damages unless and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that it was actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party, promptly but in no event greater than [***] after receipt of written notice of the indemnification sought, of the dispute and describing those portions and the amount (if known and quantifiable) of the claim in dispute, and the basis of the dispute. Upon the Indemnified Party’s receipt of a timely notice of dispute, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed to negotiate a resolution of such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within [***] following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.12.
6.4Survival.
(a)The representations and warranties of the Seller and the Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until [***]. The representations and warranties in Section 3.4 (Taxes) shall survive for [***]. The representations and warranties in Section 3.5 (Intellectual Property) shall
32


survive [***]. The Fundamental Reps shall survive for a period of [***]. The covenants and agreements of the Seller and the Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions until fully performed in accordance with their express terms.
(b)If an indemnification claim is asserted in writing pursuant to Section 6.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim, then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim.
6.5Limitations.
(a)[***]
(i)
(b)The amount of Damages recoverable by an Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VI with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance payment actually received by such Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) with respect to such indemnity claim less any cost associated with receiving such recovery (including any reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party, the amount of any deductible and the present value of all increases or adjustments to insurance premiums arising from such insurance claim). The Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect insurance proceeds for any claim made by the Seller to the Buyer or by the Buyer to the Seller. If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any insurance payment in connection with any claim for Damages for which it has already been indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within [***] of receiving such insurance payment, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VI with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance payments received, over (ii) the amount of Damages with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this ARTICLE VI.
(c)[***], NEITHER THE BUYER NOR THE SELLER SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER, OR THEIR AFFILIATES, FOR ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR SUITS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR INCOME, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE AT THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT CONNECTED WITH OR RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH AFTER THE CLOSING DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATED HERETO, INCLUDING ANY SUCH DAMAGES WHICH ARE BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND MISREPRESENTATION), BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OPERATION OF LAW OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF RECOVERY.
(d)[***]the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this ARTICLE VI shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of the Indemnified Parties with respect to claims under, or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of, this Agreement.
6.6Manner of Payment.
(a)Any payment to any Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VI for indemnification shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from or on
33


behalf of the Indemnifying Party to an account designated by the Indemnified Party within [***]s after the date of the determination of any amounts due and owing under this ARTICLE VI.
(b)The Buyer shall not be entitled to setoff of any amounts due and payable, or any Damages arising, under this Agreement against any amounts due and payable, or any Damages arising, under this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents. The payment obligations under each of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents remain independent obligations of each Party, irrespective of any amounts owed to any other Party under this Agreement or the respective Ancillary Documents.
6.7Disclaimers.
(a)Except with respect to claims of Fraud or as expressly set forth in any representation or warranty in ARTICLE III, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor any other Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have any claim or right to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VI (or otherwise) with respect to any information, documents, or materials furnished to or for Buyer by Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors, including any information, documents, or material made available to Buyer in any “data room”, management presentation, or any other form in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Any claims Buyer may have for breach of representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement shall be based solely on the representations and warranties of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement.
(b)WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANYTHING SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ARTICLE IV, BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ARTICLE III, BUYER IS ACQUIRING THE ACQUIRED ASSETS ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY, THE FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION OF THE ASSETS, AS TO THE NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY PERSON OR AS TO ANY OTHER MATTER.
6.8Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made hereunder shall be treated by all Parties as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by Law.

7.10Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.
