Any Indemnifying Party hereunder shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party upon and to the extent of the payment in full of the amount of the Indemnified Liabilities. An insurer 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. If any Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of an Indemnified Liability for which indemnification is provided in this Section 6.08 after the full amount of such Indemnified Liability has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such Indemnified Liability and the amount received from the third party exceeds the remaining unpaid balance of such Indemnified Liability, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (A) the sum of the amount theretofore paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Indemnified Liability plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof over (B) the full amount of such Indemnified Liability.

Subject to the proviso at the end of the immediately preceding sentence, no claim for the recovery of any Indemnified Liabilities may be asserted by an Indemnified Party after such period. (v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability of Blackstone pursuant to this Agreement for breaches by Blackstone of any representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement to indemnify any Company Indemnitee shall not exceed $40,000,000, or, if the Series A-2 Closing has occurred, $96,000,000.

(B) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), the defense of such Indemnified Liabilities at the Indemnifying Party's risk and expense (without reservation of rights and without any limitations contained therein), except as provided in this Agreement. In the event that either (I) with respect to any third party claim which could reasonably be expected to result in Indemnified Liabilities (a "Third Party Claim"), such Indemnified Liabilities are ----------------- reasonably expected to exceed the Indemnifying Party's obligations hereunder therefor or (II) within a reasonable time after notice from the Indemnified Party of any such Indemnified Liabilities, the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend such claim, the Indemnified Party (upon further written notice to the Indemnifying Party) shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Indemnified Liabilities, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party if such matter is subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this subsection (B), the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, in addition to the other sums required to be paid hereunder, the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense, compromise or settlement as and when such costs and expenses are so incurred. (C) Anything in this Section 6.08 to the contrary notwithstanding, in connection with any Third Party Claim, (I) if any third party claimant alleges the right to or seeks any remedy other than money damages or other money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in and direct the defense, compromise or settlement of such proceeding, (II) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party's written consent, settle or compromise any Indemnified Liabilities or consent to entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the receipt by the Indemnified Party from the claimant or the plaintiff of a release from all liability in respect of such Indemnified Liabilities in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (III) in the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of any Indemnified Liabilities, the Indemnified Party, by counsel or 43 other representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to consult with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel or other representatives concerning such Indemnified Liabilities and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and their respective counsel or other representatives shall cooperate with respect to such Indemnified Liabilities, (IV) in the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of any Indemnified Liabilities, the Indemnifying Party shall have an obligation to keep the Indemnified Party informed of the status of the defense of such Indemnified Liabilities and furnish the Indemnified Party with all documents, instruments and information that the Indemnified Party shall reasonably request in connection therewith, and (V) in the event that both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are parties (directly or through interpleader) to any Third Party Claim giving rise to indemnification hereunder, and the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that there is or may be a conflict of interest in the representation of both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by one firm of counsel, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the defense, compromise and settlement (subject to clause (II) above) of such Indemnified Liabilities with counsel (in addition to local counsel) reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party.

In the event that an Indemnified Party has a good faith basis for a claim for indemnification which is not a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim"), ------------ the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Direct Claim with reasonable promptness (a "Direct Claim Notice"); ------------------- provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have suffered actual damage by reason of such failure. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it disputes an Indemnified Party's right of indemnification with respect to a particular Direct Claim, the parties shall use their reasonable efforts promptly to negotiate a resolution of such dispute. Except to the extent of the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Section 6.08, nothing in this subsection 6.08(c)(ii) shall be deemed to prevent any Indemnified Party from initiating litigation under this Agreement with respect to any Direct Claim disputed by the Indemnifying Party for the purpose of establishing the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification hereunder.
