8.5 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(i) In the event of the assertion or commencement by any person or entity of any claim or proceeding with respect to which a party hereto may become obligated to indemnify, the party to be indemnified (or, in the case of an Indemnitee or other person being indemnified by the Seller, the Buyer) (in either case, the “Indemnified Party”) shall, within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Indemnified Party first becomes aware of the assertion or commencement of such claim or Proceeding, notify the party or the parties providing the indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim or proceeding. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give the notice required by the foregoing sentence (the “Claim Notice”) shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s duty or obligation under this Section 10, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is irrevocably prejudiced thereby. Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against a third party claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the third party claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the third party claim in immediately available funds, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the third party claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the third party claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the third Party claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedent, custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the third party claim actively and diligently.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of any such claim or proceeding: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall proceed to defend such claim or proceeding in a diligent manner with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (ii) the Indemnified Party shall make available to an Indemnifying Party any non-privileged documents and materials in the possession of the Indemnified Party that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or proceeding; (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or proceeding; (iv) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim or proceeding; and (v) the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, adjust or compromise such claim or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not unreasonably withhold such consent.

(iii) If the Indemnified Party so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Proceeding on its own: (i) all expenses relating to the defense of such claim or proceeding (whether or not incurred by the Indemnified Party) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Indemnifying Party; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party any non-privileged documents and materials in the possession or

EXECUTION COPY

control of the Indemnifying Party that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or proceeding; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or proceeding; and (iv) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or proceeding with the consent of an Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold such consent.

8.6 Exercise of Remedies by Indemnitees Other Than the Buyer. No Indemnitee (other than the Buyer or any successor in interest thereto or assignee thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless the Buyer (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.
