(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10.2 or 10.4 of notice delivered in accordance with Section 10.5 of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnified party's failure to give such notice. (b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 10.6(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will, unless the claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case, subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld) unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). If notice is 33 given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party's notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination made in a Proceeding so defended or by any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). (d) Each party hereto hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any indemnified party for purposes of any claim that an indemnified party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on either party with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world. 10.7 Procedure for Indemnification - Other Claims.

The limitations set forth in this Section 10.8(a) will not apply to any Class 1 Damages. (b) Buyer will not have any liability for indemnification with respect to the matters set forth in clause (a) or (b) of Section 10.4 (except to the extent such liability constitutes Class 1 Buyer Damages) until the total amount of Damages with respect to such matters exceeds the Threshold Amount, and then Buyer shall be liable for all Damages of the Sellers in excess of the Threshold Amount (subject to the other limitations set forth herein). The limitations of this Section 10.8(b) will not apply to any Class 1 Buyer Damages. (c) The amount of Damages required to be paid by any party to indemnify any other party or parties pursuant to this Section 10 shall be reduced to the extent of any amounts actually received by the indemnified party or parties after the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of any insurance policies with respect to such Damages. 34 (d) The maximum liability of Seller for Class 2 Seller Damages shall be limited to $500,000; provided that after Seller has paid Damages in excess of $100,000 in cash, Seller may elect, in lieu of paying any additional Class 2 Seller Damages, to return to Buyer all of the Maxus Shares received by Seller under this Agreement, upon which Seller's liability for any additional Class 2 Seller Damages shall terminate.
