(a) Either Party (the “Compensable Party”) which is aware of the existence of a fact, claim, demand, Injury or Hidden Liability that may give rise to an indemnity obligation by the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”), shall effectively notify the Indemnifying Party within the period of (1) *** calendar days following the date when it became aware of such fact, claim, lawsuit, Damage or Hidden Liability or (2) having a procedural period to expire, before the expiration of *** of the period (the “Notice of Claim Deadline”), providing it with all available information and documentation that such Indemnifying Party may require in connection with such fact, claim or lawsuit. The Indemnifying Party shall take such measures as it deems most appropriate in order to give effect to its obligation to indemnify the other Party, which may also - at its own expense - take such other measures as it deems appropriate for its defense.

(b) Quickly and in the shortest possible time, but in no case after: (y) *** calendar days for the Compensable Party to notify the existence of a fact, claim, lawsuit, Damage or Hidden Liability; or (z) after the expiration of half of the time limit for answering a third party's claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, by notice addressed to the Compensable Party: (i) recognize its consent with the claim and how the remedy shall be implemented; or (ii) express in a well-founded manner its objections to the claim. In the event of silence after the expiration of the period referred to herein, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have tacitly acknowledged the merits of the claim for a fact, claim, lawsuit, Damages or Hidden Liabilities and the consequent right to indemnity of the Compensable Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party proceeds in accordance with item (b) of paragraph (i) above, this shall imply recognizing the Damage or Hidden Liabilities, subject to IPS's indemnity obligation or the Buyer's indemnity obligation, as the case may be. In such a case, the Indemnifying Party, as a precondition for the exercise of the rights provided herein, shall grant in favor of the Compensable Party sufficient security for the payment of the Damage caused to the Compensable Party. Once the Indemnifying Party has effected the guarantee referred to above, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to conduct and control, thru an attorney selected by such Party and at its expense, the defense and resolution of such action, and the Compensable Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; and they agree to: (y) allow the Indemnifying Party reasonable access, on business days and hours, to books and records necessary for the defense; (z) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Compensable Party permanently informed of the progress of the action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly stated that (1) the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any conciliation that would have the effect of creating or imposing any encumbrance or lien on the property or assets of the Compensable Party, RASA and/or the RASA Subsidiaries without prior consent; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a conciliation that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the grant of a full discharge of any obligation in relation to such action brought against the Compensable Party; (3) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Compensable Party to participate by providing guidance in the performance or conciliation thru attorneys selected by the Compensable Party, whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Compensable Party; y (4) the Indemnifying Party shall agree to reimburse to the Compensable Party the total amount of the Damage or Hidden Liability within *** Business Days of being served with the first of the final judgments or final award, or once a transaction terminates the abovementioned action (except for expenses incurred by the Compensable Party in accordance with paragraph 3 above) or incurred by the Compensable Party. IPS's reparation/ redress of Damages pursuant to Section 4 shall be comprehensive.

(d) On the other hand, if the Indemnifying Party proceeds in accordance with subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) above, objecting to the claim made by the Compensable Party, the Parties shall submit the dispute to the mechanism provided for in 9.02 herein. In such case, if there is a claim by a third party, the defense of such claim shall be conducted by the Compensable Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to any resolution under the mechanism provided for in 9.02. Therefore, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend, contest and settle such action in its reasonable discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall, at the request of the Compensable Party, pay the Indemnifying Party - once the dispute has been resolved as to whether or not such claim constitutes a Damage or Hidden Liability subject to the indemnity obligation of IPS or the indemnity obligation of the Buyer, as the case may be - the amount of any Damage or Hidden Liability the indemnity of which is contemplated herein, within *** Business Days of being notified by the Buyer of the final judgment or award, or of the transaction agreed by the Compensable Party.

The indemnifiable amounts denominated in Argentine Pesos shall be converted on the payment date to Dollars at the selling exchange rate listed in the Foreign Exchange Market (Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios) indicated in the currency exchange rate quotation available on the website of the Banco de la Nación Argentina (at present, at http://www.bna.com.ar/) at the close of transactions in the Foreign Exchange Market on the date on which the conversion is to occur.

Delinquency occurs automatically and by the mere passage of time, without any judicial or extrajudicial questioning. In the event of delinquency, the Parties agree on an annual interest on the value of the Libor rate at the time of default on the balance in Dollars, calculated from the date of default until the effective date of payment.

(e) Payments under this Section shall be made in cash with funds immediately available via bank transfer, in accordance with the written instructions received from the Compensable Party. Notwithstanding the payment obligation set forth in the preceding paragraph, in the event that the Indemnifying Party is IPS, and the Indemnifying Party is the Buyer, the Buyer may withhold and/or offset against any credit that IPS had against the Buyer the amounts owed by IPS to the Buyer. Alternatively, IPS acknowledges that the Buyer may invoke the terms of this Section for the purposes of offsetting, thereby waiving IPS's right to object to such offsetting.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the Compensable Party is the Buyer, RASA or any of the RASA Subsidiaries, the Buyer may cause IPS's obligation to indemnify Damages to be made in a manner that is most efficient from a legal, accounting and/or tax point of view and, to this end, IPS shall be advised as to who shall be the actual beneficiary of the reimbursement of Damages incurred.

8.05. Survival of the Indemnity Obligation.

The indemnity obligation provided for in this Article 8 shall continue from the Closing Date (and provided that the complaining Party has not filed the respective claim prior to the expiration of such periods) until the expiry of the limitation period applicable to the claim in question.
