(a) Subject to Section 8.7, all claims for indemnification by any party hereunder shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 8.3. In the event that any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand in a written notice that describes such claim or demand in reasonable detail, including the sections of this Agreement which form the basis for such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) along with copies of all written evidence thereof (the “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that failure to provide such notice within the time period required shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced thereby.

(b) Unless a shorter period (which shall be set forth in the Claim Notice and shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days) is reasonably required to adequately address the claim or demand described in the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. An election to assume the defense of such claim or demand shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Indemnifying Party is liable to the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim or demand; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any claim or demand described in a Claim Notice if (i) such claim or demand seeks an injunction or other equitable relief as a primary remedy, (ii) such claim or demand is a criminal claim, (iii) in the case of Stockholder as Indemnifying Party, all of the Losses resulting from such claim or demand suffered by Buyer Indemnified Parties would be absorbed by the Buyer Indemnified Parties because the Basket Amount has not been exhausted or (iv) in the case of Stockholder as Indemnifying Party, the amount asserted in respect of such claim or demand against the Buyer Indemnified Parties, together with all indemnified Losses realized and all other pending claims or demands against the Buyer Indemnified Parties are reasonably expected to result in Losses, in the aggregate, that exceed the Cap by an amount greater than fifty percent (50%) of such amount asserted and reasonably expected, if applicable. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and court costs) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the third party claim.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs and expenses of such participation (i) if it requests the Indemnified Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make joint representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party impermissible under applicable standards of professional conduct.

(d) The Indemnified Party shall not settle a claim or demand without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand; provided that if the Indemnified Party fails to consent to a settlement that imposes only monetary damages that do not require payment by the Indemnified Party by operation of the Basket Amount or the Cap then the Indemnifying Party’s liability with respect to such matter shall be limited to the amount of such rejected settlement. If the Indemnifying Party has the right to and elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a claim or demand for which the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation hereunder, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the amount of any such claim or demand, or, if the same be contested by the Indemnified Party, then that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts in the defense of all such claims.

(e) Any notice of a claim by reason of any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall state specifically the representation, warranty or covenant with respect to which the claim is made, state in reasonable detail the basis for the claim and, if known, give an assessment of the amount of the liability asserted against the Indemnifying Party by reason of the claim.

8.4. Indemnification Amounts. Stockholder shall not have liability under Section 8.2(a)(1) until the aggregate amount of Losses attributable to indemnification claims for which a Claim Notice was delivered to Stockholder pursuant to Section 8.3 exceeds $615,000 (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Buyer shall be entitled to be indemnified in an amount up to the Purchase Price (the “Cap”) in the aggregate; provided, however, that Stockholder shall be liable only for the amount by which all Losses exceed the Basket Amount; and provided, further, that no individual claim for payment of a Loss may be made under Section 8.2(a)(1) unless such claim is an amount of $50,000 or greater (it being specified that claims originating from identical matters, facts or triggering events shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the $50,000 threshold has been reached).

(a) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided, any payment under a covenant pursuant to this Agreement, or the expenses of a party that are borne by another party pursuant to this Agreement shall be net of (i) any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party (which shall include a party receiving payment pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification or other agreement with any third party), (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement received as an offset against such Loss (net of any costs incurred to recover such amounts, proceeds or receipts, such as deductibles, all handling and collection charges by any claims handler appointed by Stockholder and any increased premiums, including retroactive premium increases, associated with such recovery or the tax actually incurred in connection with such amounts, proceeds or receipts) (each source named in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Collateral Source”) and (iii) an amount equal to any tax benefit, if any, actually recognized by the Indemnified Party (which shall include a party receiving payment) attributable to (A) such Loss, (B) any payment under a covenant pursuant to this Agreement or (C) the expenses of a party that are borne by another party pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The parties shall take and shall cause their Affiliates to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. The party seeking indemnification under this Article VIII shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from all Collateral Sources. The parties acknowledge and agree that no right of subrogation shall accrue or inure to the benefit of any Collateral Source hereunder. The Indemnifying Party may require an Indemnified Party to assign the rights to seek recovery from a Collateral Source; provided that the Indemnifying Party will then be responsible for pursuing such recovery at its own expense. If the amount to be netted under this Section 8.5 from any payment required under Section 8.2 or any payment under a covenant pursuant to this Agreement, or the expenses of a party that are borne by another party pursuant to this Agreement is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, the amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VIII had the amount to be netted been available at the time of such payment. For purposes of calculating Losses hereunder with respect to a breach of a representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement (and not for the purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred), any limitations set forth in such representation and warranty as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be disregarded.

8.6. Sole Remedy/Waiver. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement except with respect to fraud. In furtherance of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, each party hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contribution, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against the other party (or any affiliate of the other party), arising under or based upon any national, federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation or judicial decision (including, without limitation, any such statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation or judicial decision relating to environmental matters, or warranty of title, in rem entitlements, or arising under or based upon any securities law, common law or otherwise). This Section 8.6 shall survive Closing.

8.7. No Set-Off. Neither Buyer nor Stockholder shall have any right to set-off any Losses against any payments, or deduct from, holdback or otherwise reduce in any manner, any payments to be made by either of them pursuant to this Agreement.
