2.4 Escrow Agent. The parties further agree that:

(a) Escrow Agent is executing this Agreement to acknowledge Escrow Agent’s responsibilities hereunder, which may be modified only by a written amendment signed by all of the parties hereto.

(g) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(e), in the event that a dispute arises in connection with this Agreement, or as to the rights of either Sellers or Purchasers in and to, or the disposition of, the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall have the right to (i) hold and retain the Deposit until such dispute is settled or finally determined by litigation, arbitration or otherwise, or (ii) deposit the Deposit with an appropriate court of law, following

(c) Change in Conditions. Sellers shall, to the extent any Seller obtains knowledge thereof, promptly notify Purchasers of any change in any condition with respect to the Real Property, or of the occurrence of any event or circumstance, that makes any representation or warranty of Sellers to Purchasers under this Agreement untrue or misleading, or any covenant of Sellers under this Agreement incapable or materially less likely to be performed, or any condition precedent incapable or materially less likely to be satisfied. Promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, after receipt, delivery, filing or preparation, as the case may be, Sellers shall deliver to Purchasers true and complete copies of: (i) any reports, filings, applications, or petitions made by any Seller to any Governmental Entity with respect to any Real Property; and (ii) any material written correspondence or notices to or from any Seller or Governmental Entity with respect to any Real Property (excluding tax invoices).

ARTICLE IV

TITLE MATTERS

4.1 Title and Survey. Purchasers acknowledge receipt of a copy of (a) the existing title policy for each Real Property as provided in the Dataroom (collectively, the “Existing Policies”) and (b) an existing survey of each Real Property as provided in the Dataroom (collectively, the “Surveys”). Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has had sufficient opportunity to review the Existing Policies and the Surveys, and accepts the state of facts revealed therein, and agrees that in no event may any matters disclosed in the Existing Policies or the Surveys constitute Title Objections, and shall in all instances constitute Permitted Exceptions. At the Closing, Sellers shall convey and Purchasers shall accept fee simple title to, the Real Property, in each case, free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Exceptions; provided, however, in the event that at Closing the Real Property is encumbered by one or more Liens which are not Permitted Exceptions and (i) Sellers fail to remove such Liens under Section 4.5, (ii) the Title Company will neither remove such Liens as an exception from any new or updated applicable title policy nor insure over such Liens in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchasers, and (iii) such Liens either constitute Impermissible Defects or have a Material Adverse Effect, then, either (1) Purchasers shall accept such title to the Real Property subject to such Liens and shall waive any claim on account of such Liens, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.5, or (2) Purchasers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Sellers, in which event Purchasers shall receive a refund of the Deposit and neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement.

4.2 UCC Searches. Purchasers may obtain, at Purchasers’ sole cost, state and local UCC searches, fixture searches, federal and state tax liens searches, local and federal litigation searches, judgment liens searches and bankruptcy searches with respect to any Seller and such other persons or entities as Purchasers deem appropriate in such jurisdictions as Purchasers deem necessary and appropriate or the Real Property in such jurisdictions as Purchasers deem necessary and appropriate (collectively, the “Search Reports”). Purchasers shall promptly after receipt forward a copy of any Search Report to Sellers.

4.3 Updated Commitment and Survey. Purchasers may order new title search reports from the Title Company (each a “Title Update”) at Purchasers’ sole cost and expense. Purchasers shall instruct Title Company to simultaneously deliver directly to Purchasers and Sellers copies of each Title Update (including tax and departmental searches) ordered by Purchasers or otherwise issued by Title Company, and copies of all underlying documentation referenced as an exception to such Title Update as soon as available. Purchasers may order updates of any Survey or new surveys (each a “Survey Update”, and together with Title Updates and Search Reports, “Updates”) at Purchasers’ sole cost and expense, and shall instruct the surveyor to forward a copy of any Survey Update and any further updates thereof to Sellers and the Title Company simultaneously with the issuance thereof to Purchasers.

4.4 Objections. Purchasers shall have the right to deliver a written notice (a “Title Objection Notice”) to Sellers objecting to any items contained in an Update which are not contained in any Existing Policies or Surveys and are not otherwise Permitted Exceptions within

 

25


ten (10) Business Days after any Purchaser’s receipt of such Update. Failure of any Purchaser to provide a Title Objection Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period (or to include any such matters in a timely delivered and valid Title Objection Notice) shall be deemed Purchasers’ approval of all items contained in such Update which are not Permitted Exceptions. All such items that are not objected to by Purchasers in a timely delivered and valid Title Objection Notice shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. Sellers shall use such efforts and expend such amounts as they may, in their sole judgment, deem appropriate to remove or cure prior to the Closing any title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions to which Purchasers properly object to in the Title Objection Notice; it being understood and agreed that causing the Title Company to insure over any such title exception in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchasers shall be deemed a cure of such title exception. Except as set forth in Section 4.5, Sellers shall not have the obligation, however, to cure any such exceptions or pay any amounts to cure or remove the same.

4.5 Cure. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Sellers shall be obligated to cause to be either (x) released, satisfied and otherwise discharged of record (which in the case of clause (B) below shall be deemed fulfilled if Sellers cause the applicable mechanic’s lien to be bonded over in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements) or (y) cause the Title Company to remove as an exception from any new or updated applicable title policy, or insure over in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchasers all of the following defects which are a lien on the Real Property and are not Permitted Exceptions: (A) a mortgage, security agreement, financing statement, or any other instrument which evidences or secures indebtedness for money borrowed by Sellers or which Sellers have assumed, (B) a mechanic’s lien created by, through or under Sellers, (C) any other monetary liens arising through an act or omission of Sellers which can be satisfied by the payment of a liquidated sum, and (D) any encumbrances (including Liens) voluntarily recorded by Sellers against the Real Property after the Effective Date and not approved by Purchasers (the items described in the preceding (A), (B), (C) and (D), the “Impermissible Defects”). Sellers shall be entitled to one or more adjournments of the Closing for a period of time not to exceed, in combination with any prior adjournments by Sellers, thirty (30) days in the aggregate in order to remove any Impermissible Defect.

(a) by written agreement of Sellers and Purchasers; or

(b) by Sellers or Purchasers, if:

(i) the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party if the failure

 

36


of such Party or its Affiliates to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the transactions contemplated herein to be consummated on or before such date; or

(ii) any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated herein, and such order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a Party if the issuance of such final, non-appealable order was primarily due to the failure of such Party or its Affiliates to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) by Sellers, if Purchasers shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (x) would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) and (y) cannot be cured on or before the Outside Date or, if curable, is not cured by Purchaser within twenty (20) days of receipt by Purchasers of written notice of such breach or failure; provided that no Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(c) if Sellers or their Affiliates are then in breach of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in either Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) would not be satisfied.

(d) by Purchasers, if Sellers shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of their representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (x) would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) and (y) cannot be cured on or before the Outside Date or, if curable, is not cured by Sellers within twenty (20) days of receipt by Sellers of written notice of such breach or failure; provided that Purchasers shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) if Purchasers are then in breach of any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in either Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) would not be satisfied.

10.2 Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are abandoned pursuant to Section 10.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made and describing the basis therefor in reasonable detail, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no further force or effect whatsoever without liability on the part of any Party hereto, and all rights and obligations of any Party hereto shall cease, other than any obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, and each party shall be relieved of any liability or damages resulting out of any breach of this Agreement which is not willful or intentional; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no such termination shall relieve any Party hereto of any liability or damages resulting from or arising out of any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement.

IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY DO NOT OCCUR AS PROVIDED HEREIN BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OR FAILURE BY ANY PURCHASER TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, PURCHASERS AND SELLERS AGREE IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLERS MAY SUFFER. THEREFORE, PURCHASERS AND SELLERS HEREBY AGREE A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT SELLERS WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT ANY PURCHASER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO CLOSE THE TRANSACTIONS HEREUNDER IS AND SHALL BE, AS SELLERS’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY), A SUM EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT. UPON SUCH DEFAULT BY ANY PURCHASER, SELLERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT FROM ESCROW AGENT AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR ANY PURCHASER’S DEFAULT AND FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTIONS HEREUNDER, ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR OTHER REMEDIES ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY BEING HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY SELLERS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL LIMIT SELLERS’ REMEDIES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AS TO ANY OBLIGATIONS THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim for indemnification for breach of the

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI, Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify from and after the Closing, Purchasers, their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) for any and all Damages to the extent arising from any (i) breach by Sellers of any of their representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be true and correct on the date hereof or on the Closing Date, as if made on such date (except in the case of any representations or warranties that address matters only as of a particular date, as of such date) or (ii) breach by Sellers of any of their covenants contained in this Agreement to be performed at or prior to Closing.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI, from and after the Closing, Purchasers shall indemnify and defend Sellers and their Affiliates and their respective members, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) for, and hold the Seller Indemnified Parties harmless from, any and all Damages to the extent arising from any (i) breach of any representation or warranty by Purchasers contained in this Agreement to be true and correct on the date hereof or on the Closing Date, as if made on such date (except, in the cases of any representations or warranties that address matters only as of a particular date, as of such date), (ii) breach by Purchasers of any of its covenants contained in this Agreement to be performed at or prior to Closing, or (iii) breach by Purchasers of its obligation under Section 12.18 hereof unless such breach is a result of Sellers’ failure to comply with the “Public Interest Covenants” while Sellers comprise a Buyer (as defined on Exhibit E attached hereto).

(c) The amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article XI shall be determined: (i) by written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. Without limiting a party’s obligation to make payment upon the earliest event specified in the preceding sentence, from and after the date on which the amount of Damages for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article XI is determined in accordance with this Section 11.2(c), interest will accrue on such amount from such date until the date of payment at the lesser of 10% per annum and the highest rate permitted under applicable law, compounding monthly; provided, however, that no such interest will be payable in the event that a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction subsequently determines that the Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification for the underlying amount under this Article XI.

(d) For purposes of this Article XI and for purposes of determining whether a Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) and whether a Seller Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(b), any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by any Seller or Purchaser,

 

39


as applicable, shall be determined without regard to any qualification as to “Material Adverse Effect” or “materiality” set forth in such representation or warranty or in any document delivered or made available in connection herewith, and all references to the terms “material”, “materiality”, “materially”, “ Material Adverse Effect” or any similar terms shall be ignored for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was true and correct.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Sellers shall have no obligation whatsoever to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification, for any matter arising under Section 11.2(a) to the extent that Sellers or any Affiliate(s) of Sellers, as tenant under the Lease Agreement, shall be liable for such matter under the terms of the Lease Agreement.

11.3 Indemnification Claim Procedures.

(a) If any Action is commenced or threatened that may give rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI (an “Indemnification Claim”) by any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”), then such Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnitor and (ii) deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice (A) describing in reasonable detail the nature of and the facts giving rise to the Action, (B) including a copy of all papers served, if any, with respect to such Action, (C) to the extent known at such time, including the Indemnified Party’s estimate of the amount of Damages (including the method of calculation thereof) that may arise from such Action (it being understood that in no event shall such estimate limit any claim for Damages hereunder), and (D) describing in reasonable detail the basis for the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to notify the Indemnitor in accordance with this Section 11.3(a) will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent (1) the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice, or (2) the Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnitor of such Indemnification Claim in accordance with this Section 11.3(a) prior to the Survival Expiration Date, except to the extent the Indemnification Claim relates to Section 12.18 hereof and is made pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii) hereof.

(b) An Indemnitor may elect at any time to assume and thereafter conduct the defense, compromise or settlement of any Action subject to any such Indemnification Claim with counsel of the Indemnitor’s choice (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), and the Indemnified Party shall bear any fees, costs and expenses of its counsel in connection with such Action; provided, however, an Indemnitor may not assume and thereafter conduct the defense of any Action subject to any such Indemnification Claim in the event that (A) the amount of such Indemnification Claim is (i) less than the Basket Amount or (ii) greater than the Indemnification Amount, (B) such Indemnification Claim involves criminal allegations or any Governmental Authority or (C) such Indemnification Claim seeks any equitable remedy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor will bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one such separate counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction (and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses as incurred), if the defendants in, or targets of, any such action or proceeding include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there

 

40


are or are reasonably likely to be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor or that representation by the same counsel is or is reasonably likely to be a conflict of interest. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood that the Indemnitor shall control such defense. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, it shall be permitted to settle or compromise any such Action, and each Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in all respects with the conduct of such defense by the Indemnitor (including the making of any related claims, counterclaim or cross complaint against any Person in connection with the Action) and/or the settlement of such Action by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not approve of the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to the Indemnification Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval, unless (i) the terms of such settlement provide for a full and complete release by the third-party claimant of the claims that are the subject of such Action in favor of the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnitor does not admit or otherwise acknowledge in writing to the relevant court of Governmental Entity or third-party claimant any liability, wrongdoing or misconduct on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and (iii) such settlement is only for money damages that are paid by Indemnitor and does not include any equitable relief. If the Indemnified Party gives an Indemnitor notice of an Indemnification Claim and the Indemnitor does not, within thirty (30) days after such notice is given, (i) give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of the Action or Actions subject to such Indemnification Claim and (ii) thereafter promptly assume such defense, then the Indemnified Party may conduct the defense of such Action, provided, however, that the Indemnified Party will not agree to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to the Action or Actions subject to any such Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnitor may participate in any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11.3(a) and the Indemnitor shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(c) If any Indemnified Party becomes aware of any circumstances that it reasonably expects would give rise to an Indemnification Claim for any matter not involving an Action, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnitor and (ii) deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice (A) describing in reasonable detail the nature of and the facts giving rise to the circumstances giving rise to the Indemnification Claim and (B) to the extent known at such time, including the Indemnified Party’s estimate of the amount of Damages (including the method of calculation thereof) that may arise from such circumstances (it being understood that in no event shall such estimate limit any claim for Damages hereunder). Failure to notify the Indemnitor in accordance with this Section 11.3(c) will not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent (1) the Indemnified Party is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice or (2) the Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnitor of such Indemnification Claim in accordance with this Section 11.3(c) prior to the Survival Expiration Date, except to the extent the Indemnification Claim relates to Section 12.18 hereof and is made pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iii) hereof.

 

41


(d) At the reasonable request of the Indemnitor or the Indemnified Party, each such party shall grant the other party and its representatives, upon reasonable prior notice, all reasonable access to the books, records, employees and properties of such Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the applicable Indemnification Claim relates. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under the conditions which shall not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Indemnified Party.

11.4 Limitations on Indemnification Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any claims an Indemnified Party makes under this Article XI will be limited as follows:

(a) Indemnification Cap. The aggregate amount of Damages for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11.2(a) will not exceed the sum of Four Million Two Hundred Eighteen Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($4,218,750) (the “Indemnification Amount”).

(b) Claims Basket. The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to clause (i) of Section 11.2(a) unless and until the amount of Damages (excluding costs and expenses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties incurred in connection with making such claim under this Agreement) incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties that are the subject of such claim (or any series of related claims arising out of similar circumstances) exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Per-Claim Basket”), and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to clause (i) of Section 11.2(a) to the extent the aggregate amount of all Damages (excluding costs and expenses of Purchaser Indemnified Parties incurred in connection with making such claim under this Agreement) incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI (excluding amounts below any applicable Per-Claim Basket) exceeds Two Hundred Eighty One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($281,250) (the “Basket Amount”), and then only to the extent of such excess.

(c) Assignment of Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article XI, at the election of the Indemnitor, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign to the Indemnitor all of its claims for recovery against third persons as to such Damages, whether by insurance coverage, contribution claims, subrogation or otherwise.

(d) Purchaser Waived Breach. In the event that (i) Purchasers obtain knowledge prior to the Closing of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers contained in this Agreement that would give Purchasers the right to not consummate the Closing under Section 5.2 (a “Purchaser Waived Representation”), (ii) Purchasers notify Sellers of such inaccuracy or breach and Sellers acknowledge in writing prior to the Closing that Purchasers have such right to not consummate the Closing, and (iii) Purchasers nonetheless proceed with and consummate the Closing, then Purchasers and any Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article XI for, or any other claim or cause of action under this Agreement, at law or in equity on account of any such Purchaser Waived Representation.

 

42


(e) Consequential and Punitive Damages. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any consequential or punitive Damages related to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or claims for lost profits and/or diminution in value.

(f) Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. It is the intention of the parties to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all federal, state, local and non-United States Tax purposes, and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or a final determination.

11.5 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery due to the facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, all Damages for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article XI shall be reduced by the amount of any indemnification payments or other recoveries actually received by such Indemnified Party from any third party, net of any costs incurred by the Indemnified Parties in recovering such amounts.

11.6 Mitigation. An Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI.

11.7 Indemnification Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, except for the remedies described in Section 12.2 (which shall not include any action for monetary damages) and in the case of fraud, indemnification pursuant to this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy against Sellers in the case of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the sole and exclusive remedy against Purchasers in the case of the Seller Indemnified Parties, related to or arising from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in, or otherwise pursuant to, this Agreement which survives Closing, excluding covenants contained herein which are to be performed after the Closing Date.
