The Indemnified Party’s failure to give a Third Party Claim Notice in compliance with this Section 6.4(a) of any Third Party Claim which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party unless, and solely to the extent that, the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b)    The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim with the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, in each case at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense (provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must acknowledge its indemnity obligations under this Article 6), and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with separate counsel selected by it, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof; provided that in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) if such Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to be materially detrimental to the business, reputation or future prospects of any Indemnified Party or (iii) if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party (i) fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend or fails to acknowledge its indemnity obligations under this Article 6 as provided in this Agreement, (ii) elects not to defend (or compromise at its sole cost and expense) such Third Party Claim, (iii) has elected to defend such Third Party Claim but fails to promptly and diligently pursue the defense such Third Party Claim, (iv) otherwise breaches any of its obligations under this Article 6 or (v) as set forth on Schedule 6.4(b) hereto, or if the Third Party Claim is reasonably expected by the Indemnified Party to result in a payment obligation on the Indemnified Party in an amount that exceeds the maximum indemnification then available to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 6, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party may (by written notice to the Indemnifying Party) assume control of such defense (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party) and/or compromise such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. The parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim.

(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 6.4(c). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim that (i) does not (A) result in any liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and (B) result in the loss of any right or benefit on the part of any Indemnified Party, (ii) does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, and (iii) provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such firm offer, then the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within twenty (20) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within such twenty (20) day period and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon

the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 6.4(b), it may settle the Third Party Claim; provided that if the settlement is made without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnity obligation pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

6.5    Mitigation; Treatment of Indemnification.

(a)    The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses relating to a Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Article 6.

(b)    All indemnification payments under this Article 6 shall be deemed adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price.

6.6    Exclusive Remedy. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, should the Closing occur, and excluding liability for actual fraud or willful misrepresentation, the foregoing indemnification provisions of this Article 6 and the provisions of Section 7.15 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and Purchaser with respect to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement (other than any Purchase Price Adjustment set forth in Part I of Appendix B) or other claim arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, effective as of the Closing each of Purchaser and Seller covenants to the other party that in respect of any matters under or contemplated in this Agreement, it will not make any Claim whatsoever against any Affiliate of the other party or the directors, officers, managers, shareholders, member, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing, in each case in their capacities as such, and its rights in respect of any such Claim for breach of any provision of this Agreement are limited solely to such rights as it may have against Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, under this Agreement.
