11.5 Notice and Opportunity to Defend. Each Person seeking indemnification under this Article 11 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other party obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any Claim as to which indemnity may be sought; provided, however, that the failure to provide prompt notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control the defense of such Claim and the costs of such defense shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Claim at its expense; provided that if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement or compromise effected without its prior consent and the Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such Claim, shall not, except with the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term a release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability in respect to such Claim by the claimant or plaintiff or which provides for any form of injunctive relief or other non-monetary relief which affects the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of such Claim in accordance with this Section 11.5, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, such Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by such Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 11.
 
11.6 Reimbursement. At the time that the Indemnified Party shall suffer a Loss because of a breach of any warranty, representation or covenant by the Indemnifying Party or at the time the amount of any Liability on the part of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 11 is determined, which in the case of payment to third Persons shall be the earlier of (a) the date of such payments, or (b) the date that a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter a final judgment, order or decree (after exhaustion of appeal rights) establishing such Liability (such loss or amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnifiable Loss”), the Indemnifying Party shall forthwith, upon notice from the Indemnified Party pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss.

11.7 Adjustments to Indemnification Payments.
 
(a) If the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment by the Indemnifying Party, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any Claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any third Person, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Upon making any indemnity payment, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third Person that is not an Affiliate of the Indemnified Party in respect of the Indemnifiable Loss to which the indemnity payment relates; provided, however, that (a) the Indemnifying Party shall then be in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, and (b) until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of its Indemnifiable Loss, any and all Claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third Person on account of said indemnity payment will be subrogated and subordinated in right of payment to the rights of the Indemnified Party against such third Person. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation and subordination rights. The Indemnified Party shall use its good faith reasonable efforts to make insurance Claims relating to any Claim for which it is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article 11; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to make such an insurance Claim if the Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment believes that the cost of pursuing such an insurance Claim together with any corresponding increase in insurance premiums or other chargebacks to the Indemnified Party would exceed the value of the insurance Claim relating to any Claim for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification.
 
11.8 Survival of Indemnification Obligations. The indemnification and other obligations of the parties under this Article 11 shall survive for the same period set forth in Section 11.1, and shall terminate with the expiration of such survival period.
 
11.9 Punitive Damages. In no event shall either Party make a claim against the other party for punitive or exemplary damages suffered as a result of this Agreement; provided, however, that this limitation shall not affect the right of either party to claim indemnity under this Agreement for any punitive or exemplary damages sought by and/or awarded to a third party.
 
11.10 Recoupment Against Tranche B Shares Adjusted Price. Any indemnification payment to which any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled under this Agreement on or prior to the Tranche B Closing Date as a result of any Losses it may suffer or incur up to the Tranche B Closing Date (the “Tranche B Indemnity Offset”) (other than with respect to Losses attributable to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 (Corporate Organization, Qualification and Power), Section 3.2 (Capitalization and Ownership), and Section 3.3 (Authorization and Enforceability)) shall be satisfied exclusively by deducting from the Tranche B Shares Adjusted Price (as fully adjusted in accordance with Section 2.4(c)), the full amount of such indemnification payments.
