Any written notice provided by an Indemnified Party to an Indemnifying Party of a Claim for which indemnification is available hereunder shall describe the nature of such Claim, the facts and circumstances that give rise to such Claim and the amount of the Losses attributable to such Claim if reasonably ascertainable at the time such Claim is made (or if not then reasonably ascertainable, the maximum amount of such Claim reasonably estimated by the Indemnified Party). In the event that within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such a written notice from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall not have received from the Indemnifying Party a written objection to such Indemnification Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall conclusively be deemed to have agreed that it is liable to indemnify the Indemnified party for the full amount of all Losses arising with respect to the Claim described in the written notice which is delivered to the Indemnifying Party with respect to any such Indemnification Claim, including the amount of the Losses specified by the Indemnified Party in the written notice of the Indemnification Claim which is delivered to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.02 or Section 10.03 hereof, an Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party with respect to a Breach of Seller Rep Claim or a Breach of Buyer Rep Claim unless the written notice required to be delivered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10.04(a) is delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period provided for in Section 10.01 hereof for the representation and warranty giving rise to the Breach of Seller Rep Claim or the Breach of Buyer Rep Claim.

After such ten (10) Business Day period (or such longer period as they may agree in writing), if the Parties still cannot agree on the Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may, at any time thereafter, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to its Indemnification Claim, commence legal proceedings against the Indemnifying Party to enforce

(a)     The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) days (or such lesser time as may be necessary to comply with statutory response requirements for litigated Claims that are included in any Third-Party Claim) from receipt of the notice contemplated in this Section 10.05 to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party will, at its sole cost and expense, defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party timely gives notice that it intends to defend the Third-Party Claim, it shall have the right, except as hereafter provided, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with the Third-Party Claim and to be represented by counsel of its own choice, and the Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect thereto or settle, compromise, pay or discharge the same without the consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense; and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into a settlement of any such Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall be not unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement requires no more than a monetary payment for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party or involves other matters not binding upon the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not agree in writing to accept the defense of, and assume all responsibility for, such Third-Party Claim as provided above in this Section 10.05, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with the Third-Party Claim in such manner as the Indemnified Party deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses arising from any such Third-Party Claim.

(b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party such Third-Party Claim, or the litigation or resolution of such Third-Party Claim, involves: (i) an issue or matter that could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnified Party, including a dispute with a significant supplier or customer of the Indemnified Party; (ii) an action the object of which is to obtain an injunction, restraining order, declaratory relief or any other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) an issue or matter in which there is a conflict of interest in the defense of such action between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of any such claim or demand and its reasonable costs and expenses shall be included

as part of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party elects to exercise such right, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of such claim at its sole cost and expense.

of obtaining any such order, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be payable by the Refusing party.

11.01    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date (the “Termination Date”):

(a)     by the Buyer, effective upon written notice to the Sellers if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement on the part of either of the Sellers which has rendered the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in Article 9 permanently incapable of fulfillment, such violation or breach has not been waived by the Buyer, and the breach has not been cured within 30 days following the Buyer’s written notice of such breach; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(a) shall not be available to the Buyer if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein;

(b)     by the Seller Parties effective upon written notice to the Buyer, if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Buyer which has rendered the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in Article 8 permanently incapable of fulfillment, such violation or breach has not been waived by the Seller Parties, and the breach has not been cured within 30 days following written notice from the Seller Parties of such breach; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(b) shall not be available to the Seller Parties if any of the Seller Parties is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein;

(c)     by the Seller or the Buyer, effective upon written notice, if the Closing shall not have occurred by February 29, 2020 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(c) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; or
