***CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.




any benefit arising thereunder, to Buyer or as Buyer may otherwise request.

Section 3.6    Late Payment.

(i)    any written notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if the failure to obtain such consent would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(ii)    any damage or destruction by fire or other casualty of any material Purchased Asset or part thereof or the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;
provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to Buyer.

(b) Each Party shall promptly notify the others of any written notice communication by such Party from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 9.5    Procedure.
(a)    In order for an indemnified party under this Article IX (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall, promptly following the discovery of the matters giving rise to any Loss, notify the indemnifying party under this Article IX (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of its claim for indemnification for such Loss, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such Loss and the amount of the liability estimated to accrue therefrom; provided, however, that failure to give such prompt notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that, if the Indemnified Party fails to provide such notice in writing within 30 days, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed

    
***CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.




to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such request, all information and documentation reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Loss.
(b)    If the indemnification sought pursuant hereto involves a claim made by a third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, unless the Indemnified Party determines in good faith and in consultation with the Indemnifying Party that Indemnified Party’s relationship with any continuing material supplier, vendor or customer would be materially adversely affected as a result thereof. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed to have acknowledged that the Third Party Claim is within the scope of its indemnity obligation under this Agreement and shall conduct the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim actively and diligently, and all of the Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms (i) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, (ii) includes a full release in favor of the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim, does not include any admission of liability and contains reasonable provisions maintaining the confidentiality of the settlement, compromise or discharge and (iii) does not provide for any equitable or other similar remedies. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Each Seller shall treat, and will cause its Affiliates and the representatives of each Seller or any of their Affiliates to treat, the Buyer Confidential Information as confidential, using the same degree of care as each Seller normally employs to safeguard its own confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.
(b)    In the event any Seller is required to disclose any of the Buyer Confidential Information pursuant to any governmental, judicial, or administrative order, subpoena, discovery request, regulatory request or similar method, Sellers shall promptly notify the Buyer in writing of such demand for disclosure so that the Buyer, at its sole expense, may seek to make such disclosure subject to a protective order or other appropriate remedy to preserve the confidentiality of the Buyer Confidential Information. Each Party will cooperate in all reasonable respects, in connection with any actions to be taken for the foregoing purpose. In the case of such compelled disclosure, Sellers shall furnish only that portion of the Buyer Confidential Information which such Seller is advised by a reasoned opinion of its counsel is legally required, and Sellers exercises reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such Buyer Confidential Information. For clarity, Sellers shall disclose Buyer Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to satisfy such compelled disclosure herein described.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Parties hereby agrees with the other Party hereto that it will consult with and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon any press release or other public statement or comment prior to the issuance of such press release or other public statement or comment relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein and shall not issue any press release or other public statement or comment without the prior written consent of the other Parties, except (i) as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Governmental Rules, and the rules and regulations of each stock exchange upon which the securities of one of the Parties is listed or (ii) as may be consistent with previous press releases or other public statements or comments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein approved by the Parties.
