EPOD agrees, from and after the Closing Date, for the appropriate period(s) specified in Section 7.01, above, to indemnify and hold Buyer and its officers, directors, agents or Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against any Loss incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, resulting from (i) noncompliance with any applicable bulk sales or transfer Law, (ii) any Liability or Contract of, or Claim against, a Seller, whether contingent or absolute, direct or indirect, known or unknown, matured or unmatured (including but not limited to Liabilities for Taxes), (iii) any Liability or Claim arising in any way from any service rendered, or action taken by, or relating to the operations of, a Seller prior to the Closing Date, (iv) any Liability or Claim under any Environmental Laws relating to any event, action or failure to act which occurred prior to the Closing Date, or (v) the breach or inaccuracy of or failure to comply with, or the existence of any facts resulting in the inaccuracy of, any of the warranties, representations, conditions, covenants or agreements of a Seller contained in this Agreement or in any agreement or document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, or arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)

Buyer agrees from and after the Closing Date, for the appropriate period(s) specified in Section 7.01, above, to indemnify and hold Sellers and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any Loss incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party directly or indirectly resulting from (i) any Liability or Claim arising in any way from any service rendered, or action taken by, or relating to the operations of, Buyer after the Closing Date, (ii) any Liability or Claim under any Environmental Laws relating to any event, action or failure to act which occurs after the Closing Date, or (iii) any Claim arising out of Buyer’s breach, failure to fully repay and satisfy, default in or failure to comply with the terms of, the Assumed Liabilities or any breach of any warranties, representations, conditions, covenants or agreements of Buyer contained in this Agreement to which the Buyer is a party, or in any other agreement, certificate or document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or arising out of the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)

If any Third Party shall notify any party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 7, then the Indemnified Party shall notify each Indemnifying Party thereof promptly; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability or obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is materially damaged. In the event any Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof, (i) the Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel (at its cost), (iii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (iv) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement which does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all Liability with respect thereto, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).

In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of the matter as provided herein within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice thereof, the Indemnified Party may defend against, or enter into any settlement with respect to, the matter in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate.

(d)

After the Closing Date, the right of indemnification under this Section 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to any Party for any claim or cause of action arising under this Agreement or other agreements to be entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby in connection with any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or provision of this Agreement this Agreement, other agreements to be entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy does not preclude a Party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party expressly waives any rights it may have to make a claim against the other pursuant to any constitutional, statutory, or common law authorities. The provisions of this Section 7.02(d) shall not apply to claims arising out of or relating to the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Parties.
