respect of a litigation as to which a notice of claim, as provided below in this Section 12.2, has previously been given, which expenses shall be funded on an ongoing basis, the party entitled to indemnification (the Indemnified Party) shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the Indemnifying Party) of such claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim; provided, however, that in the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or Legal Proceeding by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall give such notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party not later than ten (10) business days prior to the time any response to the asserted claim is required, if possible, and in any event within five (5) business days following receipt of notice thereof. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, the failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability for indemnification it may have if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall not have been prejudiced by such omission. In the event of any such claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with a claim or Legal Proceeding by a third party, the Indemnifying Party may, at its sole cost and expense, assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall first have agreed in writing that it does not and will not contest its responsibility for indemnifying the Indemnified Party in respect of Losses attributable to such claim or Legal Proceeding; and, provided further, that Seller shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any claim or Legal Proceeding against Buyer for Taxes with respect to a period ending after the Closing Date. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to select counsel and take all steps necessary in the defense thereof; provided, however, that no settlement shall be made without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and if the Indemnified Party shall withhold its consent to any monetary settlement proposed by the Indemnifying Party and which the other party to the action has indicated it is prepared to accept, the Indemnified Party shall in no event be deemed for purposes of this Agreement, to have suffered Losses in connection with such claim or proceeding in excess of the proposed amount of such settlement); provided, further, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, participate in any such proceeding with the counsel of its choice without any right of control thereof. So long as the Indemnifying Party is in good faith defending such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall not compromise or settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend (and, in the case of any claim or Legal Proceeding against Buyer for Taxes with respect to a period ending after the Closing Date, shall defend) against such claim or Legal Proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation (after giving prior written notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party and obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying Party will promptly indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.2; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party does not obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party to any such settlement, and such written consent is not unreasonably withheld by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder from such Indemnifying Party with respect to the claim settled. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.2 to the contrary, if, in any claim or Legal
-14-
Proceeding with respect to which the Indemnified Party has given the notice required under this Section 12.2, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have promptly employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based upon the opinion of its outside legal counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then in either event (x) the Indemnified Party may participate in any such proceeding with the counsel of its choice, the expense for which shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party (but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel employed by the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim or proceeding) and (y) the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of any such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party. All payments by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XII shall be in cash and in immediately available funds.
Section 12.3 Determination of Damages and Related Matters. (a) For purposes of indemnification under Sections 12.1(a)(i)(A) and 12.1(b)(i)(A), any breach of any representation or warranty shall be deemed to constitute a breach of such representation or warranty notwithstanding any limitation or qualification as to materiality set forth in such representation or warranty on the scope, accuracy or completeness thereto, it being the intention of the parties hereto that, each Indemnified Party shall be indemnified and held harmless from and against any and all Losses arising out of or based upon or with respect to the failure of any such representation or warranty to be true, correct and complete in any respect.
(b) To the extent any payment under this Article XII cannot properly be treated as an adjustment to the Consideration for Tax purposes, then any such amount shall be increased to take account of any net Tax cost incurred by the Indemnified Party by reason of the receipt of any indemnity payment (grossed-up for such increase). Any payment to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article XII shall be reduced to take account of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party in respect of the taxable year in which such Loss is incurred or paid and, with respect to a Tax benefit arising in a year subsequent to the year in which the Loss is paid or incurred, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax benefit (including, as relevant, any member of its Affiliated Group) when such Tax benefit is actually realized. In computing the amount of any such Tax cost or Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified loss, liability, claim, damage or expense.
