In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, the indemnified party shall be deemed to recognize any item of loss, deduction or credit as a result of such indemnified Losses prior to the recognition of any other items of loss, deduction or credit.

(d)    Each party shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses that it incurs or suffers as a result of any breach of this Agreement by any other party (including, to the extent consistent with sound business judgment, incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise to the Losses) upon becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.
