The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is otherwise actually prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or conditioned and provided that no settlement, compromise or confession of judgment is made without Indemnifying Party's consent. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, however, that if in the opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (B) there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required and (A) or (B) above is applicable. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim.
12 |
(b) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses or is otherwise actually prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Action in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.
(c) Moss and Allen acknowledge that they are and have been members of the senior management of the Company and have had in-depth knowledge of the Company's business, operations and financial condition. Accordingly, in no event will Seller have any liability to a Purchaser Indemnitee or an Indemnified Party under this Agreement with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty under this Agreement to the extent Purchaser, Moss or Allen knew of such breach as of the Closing.
(d) Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its expected Loss upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Loss that is indemnifiable hereunder, including responding to a Loss in the same manner as that party would respond to such Loss in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6.05 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Losses shall not include, and no party shall be liable for, (i) any exemplary or punitive damages or (ii) any consequential damages that are not reasonably foreseeable as a result of or arising from a party's breach of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, except, in each case, to the extent paid to a third party.
13 |
Section 6.06 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, this Article VI shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for each party against any other party with respect to any and all breaches or alleged breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by such party in this Agreement, except for (i) claims based on actual fraud in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) any equitable remedies, including the right to an injunction or specific performance, to which such party may be entitled.
ARTICLE VII
