(a) If any Person shall claim indemnification hereunder arising from any claim or demand of a third party, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the basis for such claim or demand setting forth the nature of the claim or demand in reasonable detail. The failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim or demand is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice.

(b) If any Proceeding is brought by a third party against an Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party gives notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.6(a), the Indemnifying Party shall, unless the claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense of such Proceeding, if (i) the Indemnifying Party provides written notice to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party intends to undertake such defense, and by such notice it shall be conclusively established that the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party against all claims for indemnification resulting from or relating to such third-party claim as provided in this Article VIII, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides to the Indemnified Party evidence acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party shall have the financial resources to defend against the third-party claim and to fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the third-party claim actively and diligently with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and (iv) if the Indemnifying Party is a party to the Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party has not determined in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate. The Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to employ separate counsel (who may be selected by the Indemnified Party in its sole discretion) in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense or compromise of such claim or demand, provided that all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party (except as set forth in the preceding sentence). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (A) no compromise or settlement of the claims with respect thereto may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless (I) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party and (II) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (B) the Indemnified Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.

(c) If (i) notice is given to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the Indemnifying Party does not, within ten days after the Indemnified Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, or (ii) an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall (upon notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the third-party claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any indemnifiable amounts arising from or related to such third-party claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VIII. The Indemnifying Party may elect to participate in such Proceedings, negotiations or defense at any time at its own expense.

(d) The Seller hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on the Seller with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

(e) With respect to any third-party claim subject to indemnification under this Article VIII, (i) both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such third-party claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof if such Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the parties agree to render (each at its own expense) to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any third-party claim.

(f) With respect to any third-party claim subject to indemnification under this Article VIII, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve 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 will use Commercially Reasonable 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 Legal Requirements), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto 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.

8.7 Alleged Breaches. For the purposes of this Article VIII, an “alleged” breach, inaccuracy or violation of a representation, warranty or covenant shall exist only if there is a claim by a third-party against an Indemnified Party alleging facts that, if true, would constitute a breach, violation or inaccuracy of such representation or warranty or covenant.

8.8 Indemnification Procedure – Direct Claims.

(a) If an Indemnified Party shall claim indemnification hereunder for any claim other than a third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the basis for such claim setting forth the nature and amount of the damages resulting from such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall give written notice of any disagreement with such claim within 15 days following receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of the claim, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such disagreement. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are unable to resolve any disagreement within 30 days following receipt by the Indemnified Party of the notice referred to in the preceding sentence, the disagreement shall be submitted for resolution to an independent Person (the “Arbitrator”) mutually agreed by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot agree on a single Arbitrator, then the disagreement shall be submitted to an Arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

(b) Any such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall be held in Asheville, North Carolina or such other location to which the parties to such dispute mutually agree. The determination by the Arbitrator shall be made within 30 days of the submission of the dispute, shall be in accordance with this Agreement, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and shall be final, binding and conclusive. Judgment upon the decision rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof and may include the award of attorneys’ fees and other costs to the extent provided by this Article. The Person who is prevailed against in the resolution of such disagreement shall pay the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator; if one Person does not prevail on all issues, the fees and expenses shall be apportioned in such manner as the Arbitrator shall determine. Any amount owing by any Person as a result of this Section 8.8 shall be paid within two Business Days after final determination of such amount.

(c) The parties agree that (i) the provisions of this Section 8.8 shall not apply to any preliminary or temporary equitable relief sought with respect to breaches of the obligations set forth in Sections 6.2 and 10.6, and (ii) the Arbitrator shall have no power to grant such preliminary or temporary relief with respect to breaches of such obligations.

8.9 Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount of all indemnification obligations hereunder at the Prime Rate, such interest to be calculated based on the actual number of days elapsed from the date each indemnification obligation becomes due and owing until paid in full and shall be based on a 365-day year.

8.10 Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies provided in this Article VIII are not exclusive of and do not limit any other remedies that may be available to any party, but the limitations provided in Sections 8.4 and 8.5 shall apply to any claims based on breaches of representations and warranties.
