The Claims Notice shall describe the Indemnifiable Event in reasonable detail, shall indicate whether the Indemnifiable Event involves a "Third Party Claim" (defined below), and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary) of the Loss that 32 has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. In such event, the Indemnifying Party shall, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Claims Notice, give notice to the Indemnified Party of whether he or it intends to dispute the claim described in the Claims Notice (the "Response Notice"). If the Indemnifying Party timely disputes the Claims Notice as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall, for a period of not more than fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Response Notice (or less, if the nature of the Indemnifiable Event so requires), seek out a negotiated settlement of the dispute with the Indemnifying Party and shall refrain during that period from commencing any judicial proceeding or other action to enforce this Article 9. If, despite their good faith negotiations, the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the aforesaid period (or if the Indemnifying Party fails to timely give the Response Notice), the Indemnified Party shall be free to exercise all rights and remedies available to him or it hereunder, at law in equity or otherwise to enforce his or its rights under this Article 9. As used herein, "Third Party Claim" means any demand, claim or circumstance which, with the lapse of time or otherwise, would give rise to a claim or the commencement (or threatened commencement) of any action, proceeding or investigation against the Indemnified Party by any other person. 9.4 Opportunity to Defend Against Third Party Claims. ------------------------------------------------ If the Claims Notice relates to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, it shall within 30 business days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) after his or its receipt of the Claims Notice, notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the compromise of, or defense against, such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party claim, fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the other, provided, however, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to the extent of any indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party. 9.5 Limitation on Indemnification. ----------------------------- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Indemnified Party shall have any liability for indemnification under this Article 9 until the total of all Losses of the Indemnified Party exceeds $25,000 and the total liability of an Indemnifying Party under this Article 9 shall (i) in no event exceed the fair market value of the consideration received as of the date of the applicable Indemnifiable Event and (ii) be reduced to the extent of payment to the Indemnified Party of any applicable insurance proceeds; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations on indemnification shall be inapplicable 33 in the case of any Losses resulting from any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.10, 4.1, 4.2, 4.5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.11hereof. 9.6 Survival. -------- Notwithstanding the investigations by the parties hereto of each other's affairs, and notwithstanding any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by such parties pursuant to such investigation, each of Jaguar and the Shareholders shall have the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other parties contained in this Agreement. The representations and warranties of the parties contained herein shall survive the Closing (i) to the extent contained in Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.10, 4.1, 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.11 hereof, for the duration of the applicable statute of limitations, (ii) to the extent relating to any other matter, for twelve (12) months following the Closing. A claim for indemnification hereunder must be asserted by a party seeking indemnification within the respective period of survival. 9.7 Indemnification Exclusive Remedy. -------------------------------- The parties hereto acknowledge and confirm that, except in the event of fraud, the indemnification procedures described in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to them for any breach or non-fulfillment of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and other provisions of this Agreement.
