Any party providing indemnification pursuant to this Article IX is referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party”, and any member of the Buyer Group or Seller Group seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article IX is referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party.”

Section 9.3. Certain Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate Liability of Seller to all members of the Buyer Group pursuant to (i) Section 9.1(c) and Section 9.1(h) shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, $6,250,000 and (ii) this Agreement shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, $8,000,000; provided, however, that such limitations shall not be applicable in the event of intentional and willful fraud as further described in Section 9.5. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate Liability of Buyer to all members of the Seller Group pursuant to Section 9.2(c) shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, $6,250,000; provided, however, that such limitation shall not be applicable in the event of intentional and willful fraud as further described in Section 9.5.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) Seller shall not be obligated to make any payment under Section 9.1(a), Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(h) (A) in respect of any individual Claim for Damages unless such individual claim is for $50,000 or more and (B) unless and until the amount of all such Damages exceeds $250,000 on an aggregate basis, in which case Seller shall be liable solely to the extent of such excess, provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that in no event shall this Section 9.3(b)(i) be deemed to apply to Section 9.9

and (ii) Buyer shall not be obligated to make any payment under Section 9.2(c) (A) in respect of any individual Claim for Damages unless such individual claim is for $50,000 or more and (B) unless and until the amount of all such Damages exceeds $250,000 on an aggregate basis, in which case Seller shall be liable solely to the extent of such excess.

(c) The amount which an Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to an Indemnified Party in respect of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will be reduced by any amounts actually received (including amounts received under insurance polices) by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party from third parties (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Specified Parties and any amounts recovered pursuant to Section 9.8) and any Tax benefits actually recognized by such Indemnified Party arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Damages (such amounts and Tax benefits are collectively referred to herein as “Indemnity Reduction Amounts”). For this purpose, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize a Tax benefit if, and to the extent that, the Indemnified Party’s cumulative liability for Taxes, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the Damages, exceeds the Indemnified Party’s actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of the Tax year for which such calculation is being made, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the Damages (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax Law and treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for any Tax year). If any Indemnified Party receives or recognizes any Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect of an Indemnified Claim for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement after the full amount of such Indemnified Claim has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such Indemnified Claim and such Indemnity Reduction Amounts exceed the determined remaining unpaid balance of such Indemnified Claim, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit (without offset or deduction) to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the amount theretofore paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Indemnified Claim, less (ii) the amount of the indemnity payment that would have been due if such Indemnity Reduction Amounts in respect thereof had been received before the indemnity payment was made. An insurer or other third party who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to any benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof. Each Party will, or will cause each Indemnified Party to, as appropriate, use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue promptly any claims or rights it may have against all third parties which would reduce the amount of Damages for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement.

(d) Each and every of the respective representations and warranties of Seller, the Company and Buyer contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except as may otherwise expressly be set forth in any other Transaction Document) other than the Company’s representations and warranties in Section 3.11 (Tax Matters), which shall survive as provided in Section 9.7(g), Section 3.18 (Employee Plans), which shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute(s) of limitations, and the Seller Specified Representations, in the case of Seller and the Company, and the Buyer Specified Representations, in the case of Buyer, shall expire upon, and shall not survive, the two year anniversary of the Closing Date;

and none of Seller, the Company or Buyer, as applicable, shall have any Liability whatsoever with respect to any such representations and warranties thereafter, except as to any matter with respect to which a bona fide written claim shall have been made or action at law or in equity shall have been commenced before such date, in which event survival shall continue (but only with respect to, and to the extent of, such claim until resolution of such claim). The Seller Specified Representations and the Buyer Specified Representations shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely. Each and every covenant contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing Date and will expire on, the later of the applicable statute of limitations or the date on which such covenant is required to be performed in accordance with this Agreement, as the case may be; and none of Seller, the Company or Buyer shall have any Liability whatsoever with respect to any such covenant thereafter.

(e) The obligations of each Party to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party and other Persons pursuant to this Article IX shall terminate with respect to Sections 9.1 and 9.2 upon the expiration of the applicable survival periods as set forth in Section 9.3(d).

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under Article IX shall be paid without duplication, and in no event shall any Party be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for the same Damages.

(g) Except as set forth in the proviso to this sentence, but otherwise notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IX or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price was mutually determined based upon the calculations set forth in Schedule A4 and in no event shall any Party be indemnified or otherwise entitled to any recovery for any Damages pursuant to any provision of this Agreement to the extent the subject matter, event or circumstance giving rise to such Damages was a component of, or was taken into account in, the determination and calculation of the Purchase Price; provided, that this Section 9.3(g) shall not apply to any claims under Section 9.1(d) based upon or arising out of any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.25 (Accounts Receivable; Inventory).

(h) The limitations on indemnification set forth in Sections 9.3(a) and 9.3(d) shall be inapplicable to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(e).

Section 9.4. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) If an Indemnified Party becomes aware of any matter, circumstance or event giving rise to a claim for indemnification from Damages (a “Claim”) against an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) as soon as practicable (but in any event within the relevant period specified in Section 9.3(d)), to (i) Seller, in the event the Indemnifying Party is Seller, or (ii) Buyer, in the event the Indemnifying Party is Buyer; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Notice pursuant to this Section 9.4(a) within the relevant period specified in Section 9.3(d) will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result thereof; it being understood and agreed that (x) in no event shall any Indemnifying Party have any Liability in respect of any Claim for which a Claim Notice is delivered after the expiration of the relevant

period specified in Section 9.3(d) and (y) the failure of the Indemnified Party to deliver a Claim Notice pursuant to this Section 9.4(a) prior to settling a Third Party Claim (whether by paying a claim or executing a binding settlement agreement with respect thereto) or the entry of a judgment or issuance of an award with respect to a Third Party Claim shall constitute actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such Third Party Claim.

(b) The Claim Notice shall (i) state that Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Damages or anticipates that it will incur Liability for Damages for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) specify in reasonable detail, to the extent then reasonably practicable (A) each item of Damages included in the amount of Damages set forth in the Claim Notice, (B) the date such item was paid or properly accrued (if applicable), (C) the basis for any anticipated Liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or agreement or other claim to which such item is related and (D) the computation of the actual or estimated amount of Damages to which such Indemnified Party is entitled hereunder. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the information provided in a Claim Notice shall in no way limit the Liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall object to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any Claim specified in any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Notice, deliver to the Indemnified Party a notice of objection to such Claim Notice, and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, within the thirty (30) day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice of objection, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of the Claims set forth in the Claim Notice to which the Indemnifying Party shall have so objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall succeed in reaching agreement on their respective rights with respect to any of such Claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts in a Claim Notice, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction. The party that receives a final judgment in such dispute shall be indemnified and held harmless for all fees or expenses (including attorney and consultant’s fees) by the other party.

(d) Claims for Damages specified in any Claim Notice to which an Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Claim Notice, Claims for Damages agreed to be paid by an Indemnifying Party in a memorandum described in Section 9.4(c) and Claims for Damages payable by an Indemnifying Party the validity and amount of which have been the subject of judicial determination described in Section 9.4(c) are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Agreed Claims.” Within ten (10) Business Days of the determination of any Agreed Claims, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Damages that are the subject of the Agreed Claims (by wire transfer in immediately available funds).

(e) If any Claim Notice is delivered by an Indemnified Party with respect to any Agreed Claim arising out of a claim or demand made or threatened against such Indemnified Party by any Person who is not a Party (or an Affiliate thereof) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received or transmitted by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(f) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in or to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim (in either case at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume 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). Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that, if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes upon the written advice of legal counsel that an actual conflict of interest exists with the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim, such Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party to represent such Indemnified Party and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties) shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party, at its sole cost and expense, may retain separate counsel, and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party will control such defense.

(g) No Indemnifying Party will consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge (including the consent to entry of any judgment) of any Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of 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 obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of Damages (other than any amount that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to pay pursuant to Section 9.3(b)) in connection with such Third Party Claim and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party completely from all Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim (other than with respect to the payment of any amount of Damages that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to pay pursuant to Section 9.3(b)). Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not admit any Liability, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(h) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments relating to or in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third Party Claim, the Parties will cooperate in the defense thereof (with the Indemnifying Party being responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Party (other than for the fees and expenses of its counsel) in connection with such

cooperation), which cooperation will include 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.

(i) In the event of payment in full (subject to Section 9.3) by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Claim (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Indemnified Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Indemnified Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party will cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.

(j) Any payments made pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX shall be deemed to be and treated, to the extent permitted by Law, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 9.5. Exclusive Remedy. In the absence of intentional and willful fraud, the remedies set forth in this Article IX and Section 6.7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims relating, directly or indirectly, to the subject matter of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except as may otherwise expressly be set forth in any other Transaction Document). With respect to actions grounded in intentional and willful fraud, (A) the right of member of the Buyer Group or the Seller Group to be indemnified and held harmless pursuant to Article IX shall be in addition to and cumulative of any other remedy of such member of the Buyer Group of the Seller Group at law or in equity and (B) no such member of the Buyer Group or the Seller Group shall, by exercising any remedy available to it under Article IX, be deemed to have elected such remedy exclusively or to have waived any other remedy, whether at law or in equity, available to it. Subject to the preceding sentence, Article VIII and the other provisions of this Article IX, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it or any of their respective Affiliates may have against any other Party or its Affiliates with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether arising under or based upon any Federal, state, provincial, local or foreign statute, Law, ordinance, rule, regulation or common law.

Section 9.6. Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate with one another with respect to resolving any Claim or Liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such Claim or Liability.

Section 9.7. Tax Indemnification.

(a) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Group from and against (i) all Taxes of the Company Group (or the non-payment thereof) with respect to all periods ending on or prior to January 31, 2008 (a “Pre-Lock-Box Period”), (ii) all Taxes of the Company Group (or the non-payment thereof) with respect to any period beginning before January 31, 2008 and ending after January 31, 2008 (a “Straddle Period”), but only with respect to the portion of such period up to and including January 31, 2008 (such portion, a “Lock-Box Partial Period”), and (iii) without duplication of any amounts payable under Section 9.1(c), all

Taxes of the Company Group (or the non-payment thereof) or of the Buyer Group payable as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.11 (Tax Matters), except to the extent such Taxes have been taken into account in the Parties’ mutual determination and calculation of the Purchase Price as set forth in Schedule A4; provided, that Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer Group under this Section 9.7(a) or any other provision of this Agreement for any Taxes attributable to any actions outside of the ordinary course of business taken by or with respect to any member of the Company Group after the Closing (including the making of any election under Section 338 of the Code). For the avoidance of doubt, Section 9.3(a) and Section 9.3(b) shall not apply to indemnification for Taxes or for breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.11 (Tax Matters).

(b) In the case of Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Tax that is attributable to a Lock-Box Partial Period shall be:

(i) in the case of income Taxes or any other Taxes resulting from, or imposed on, sales, receipts, uses, transfers or assignments of property or other assets, payments or accruals to other Persons (including, without limitation, wages), or any other similar transaction or transactions, the amount that would be payable for the Lock-Box Partial Period if the Company Group filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes solely for the Lock-Box Partial Period; and

(ii) in the case of all other Taxes, an amount equal to the amount of Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Lock-Box Partial Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

For purposes of clause (i), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the Lock-Box Partial Period based on the relative number of calendar days in such period as compared to the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(c) Any Tax refunds, amounts credited against Taxes in lieu of such Tax refunds, or indemnity payments pursuant to Article 9 of the Contribution Agreement that are received by any member of the Buyer Group relating to Taxes of any member of the Company Group (i) for a Pre-Lock-Box Period or Lock-Box Partial Period or (ii) for which Seller is liable pursuant to this Agreement (other than to the extent any such refund or credit arises from the carryback of a net operating loss) shall be for the account of Seller (without offset or reduction) except to the extent such refund or credit was taken into account in the Parties’ mutual determination and calculation of the Purchase Price, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller (without offset or reduction) any such Tax refund or indemnity payment or the amount of any such credit within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof or entitlement thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the procedures set forth in Section 9.4 shall not apply to this Section 9.7(c).

(d) Buyer shall file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of all members of the Company Group required to be filed after the Closing Date, which Tax Returns, to the extent they relate to periods or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Period”), shall be timely filed, and shall timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes

shown to be due on such Tax Returns. Buyer shall also timely pay or cause to be timely paid all Taxes due with respect to periods or portions thereof beginning after the Closing Date to any Canadian taxing authority with respect to any member of the Company Group. In the event Seller is liable under this Agreement for Taxes due at the time of filing any Tax Return described in this Section 9.7(d), Seller shall pay the amount of such liability to Buyer two (2) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of written request therefor by Buyer or at least three (3) Business Days prior to the filing of the Tax Return, whichever is later. With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed by Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.7(d) for which Seller has any liability for Taxes due (including pursuant to its indemnity obligations under Section 9.7(a)), a copy of such Tax Return shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller for review at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing such Tax Return, and Buyer shall make such necessary or advisable revisions to such Tax Return as are reasonably requested by Seller. Seller’s consent to the filing of such Tax Return shall be presumed if Seller fails to respond to Buyer within fifteen (15) days following Buyer’s submission of such Tax Return to Seller for review. Buyer and Seller shall use their respective best efforts to resolve any disagreement regarding such Tax Return prior to the due date for filing thereof. Any disagreement regarding such Tax Return which is not resolved prior to the due date for the filing thereof shall be promptly resolved by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller, whose determination of the issue on which there is disagreement shall be final and binding on Buyer and Seller. If the independent accounting firm is unable to make a determination with respect to the issue on which there is disagreement by the due date for the filing of the Tax Return in question, then such Tax Return shall be filed on the due date therefor in a manner consistent with Buyer’s positions and such Tax Return shall be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the independent accounting firm’s determination. Upon resolution or determination of such issue, there shall be made a payment, if necessary, between Buyer and Seller in order to take into account the results of such resolution or determination. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.

(e) Buyer and Seller shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits or other examinations relating to Taxes with respect to all Tax periods. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to provide any information that Buyer reasonably requests to allow Buyer to comply with Section 6043A of the Code or any other information reporting requirements under the Code or other applicable Law.

(f) Buyer and Seller agree to give prompt notice to each other of any proposed adjustment to Taxes of the Company Group for any Pre-Closing Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.4, Buyer shall control any examinations, investigations, audits or other proceedings in respect of any Tax Return or Taxes involving the Company Group (a “Tax Contest”), provided that Buyer shall not settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest with respect to Taxes for which Seller could be liable pursuant to this Section 9.7 without the consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. All costs, fees and expenses paid to third parties in the course of any Tax Contest relating to any Pre-Closing Period shall be borne by the parties in the same ratio as the ratio in which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the parties would share the responsibility for payment of the Taxes asserted by the Governmental Authority in such claim or assessment if such claim or assessment were sustained in its entirety.

(g) The Company’s representations and warranties in Section 3.11 (Tax Matters) and the obligations of the Parties set forth in this Section 9.7 shall remain in effect for the applicable statute of limitations (after giving effect to any waivers or extensions thereof), plus sixty (60) days.

Section 9.8. Specified Party Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that subject to the terms of this Section 9.8, from and after the Closing, Seller shall retain the exclusive right to conduct and control (including through its Affiliates and counsel) all dealings with the Specified Parties including the prosecution, defense and/or settlement of any claims (“Specified Party Claims”) by or against any of the Specified Parties relating to the ownership and operation of the Company Group prior to Closing, including with respect to the matters described in Section 9.1(e), Section 9.7(c), the Specified AR Proceeding and any Specified Party Claims arising under the Contribution Agreement, but excluding any Specified Mark Claims and any claims by any Specified Party in respect of any payment owing to such Specified Party pursuant to the terms of any employment or consulting agreement between a member of the Company Group and such Specified Party, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, to the extent reflected in Schedule A4. Buyer shall promptly assign or cause to be assigned to Seller at and after Closing any rights (contractual, legal or otherwise) of any member of the Company Group with respect to the conduct and control of any Specified Party Claims; provided that Seller shall not, without Buyer’s written consent, direct or enter into any settlement in respect of any Specified Party Claim that provides for injunctive relief or other non-monetary relief enforceable against Buyer or any member of the Company Group. From and after Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause each member of the Company Group to (i) promptly upon discovery thereof, notify Seller of the existence of, or any change or development in, any Specified Party Claim, (ii) cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates in connection with the conduct of any Specified Party Claim and (iii) take any and all actions reasonably necessary to allow Seller and its Affiliates to effectively control and conduct any Specified Party Claim following Closing, including promptly making available any notices, correspondence, filings, records and documentation relating to any Specified Party Claim and furnishing reasonable access to such employees of the Company Group as may be necessary or advisable for the conduct of any Specified Party Claim; provided, that Seller shall reimb urse Buyer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii). To the extent Known by Seller not to be Known to Buyer, Seller will keep Buyer updated and informed with respect to all material developments relating to or in connection with any Specified Party Claim, including promptly making available to Buyer any notices, correspondence, filings, records and documentation relating thereto to the extent Known by Seller not to be provided to Buyer.

Section 9.9. Specified Mark Claims. Following the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of Article VIII and this Article IX, Seller will indemnify, defend and hold harmless any member of the Buyer Group from and against fifty percent (50%) of any and all Damages actually incurred by such member of the Buyer Group based upon or arising out of any claim or action brought by any (a) Specified Party challenging such member’s registration, ownership or use of any Specified Mark in connection with apparel, fashion accessories and

reasonably related goods, or (b) member of the Company Group alleging infringement of any Specified Mark by a Specified Party with respect to apparel, fashion accessories and reasonably related goods (such claims or actions described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), “Specified Mark Claims”); provided, that in no event shall the maximum aggregate Liability of Seller to all members of the Buyer Group pursuant to this Section 9.9 or otherwise based upon or arising out of any Specified Mark Claim (including pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement) exceed $500,000. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.4 to the contrary, (x) solely for purposes of the application of Section 9.4 to this Section 9.9, all references to thirty (30) days shall be deemed instead to be references to ten (10) Business Days and (y) Buyer shall retain the exclusive right to conduct and control (including through its Affiliates and counsel) all dealings with the Specified Parties with respect to the prosecution, defense and/or settlement of any Specified Mark Claims. Buyer will keep Seller updated and informed with respect to all material developments relating to or in connection with any Specified Mark Claim, including promptly making available to Seller any notices, correspondence, filings, records and documentation relating thereto.
