(b) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenants of such Buyer contained herein, in any other Transaction Document or in any agreement, document or certificate delivered to Seller by such Buyer hereunder or thereunder.
Section 9.4 Procedures for Indemnification. The procedures for indemnification shall be as follows:
(a) The party claiming indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall promptly give notice to the party from whom the indemnification is claimed (the "Indemnifying Party") of any claim, whether between the parties or brought by a third party against the Indemnified Party, specifying (i) the factual basis for such claim, and (ii) the amount of the claim, if known or reasonably estimable. Failure to give prompt notice shall not affect the indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent of actual prejudice.
(b) Following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of a claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days in which to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifying Party shall deem necessary or desirable. For the purposes of such investigation, the Indemnified Party agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party and/or its authorized representative(s) the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the claim. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of said 30-day period (or any agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not respond to such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full amount of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party affirmatively rejects such claim within such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party will be free to seek judicial or other enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement.
9
(c) With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its own expense to participate in or, if it so elects, to assume control of the defense of such claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party, subject to reimbursement for any reasonable cost or expense incurred by the Indemnified Party as the result of a request by the Indemnifying Party to so cooperate. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of any third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines in good faith that there exist actual or potential conflicts of interest that make representation by the same counsel inappropriate, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to employ separate counsel (but not more than one per jurisdiction) at the expense and cost of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand unless (i) the settlement agreement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the third party asserting the claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim, (ii) the settlement agreement does not contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct of any business by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (iii) any amounts owing from any Indemnified Party pursuant to such compromise or settlement are subject to full indemnification by the Indemnifying Party (which has acknowledged in writing its responsibility therefor and has demonstrated its financial ability to satisfy such obligation).
(d) If a claim, whether between the parties or by a third party, requires immediate action, the parties will make all reasonable efforts to reach a decision with respect thereto as expeditiously as possible.
(e) If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control or otherwise participate in the defense of any third-party claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained in good faith by the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim and shall be liable for all costs and expenses of defending such claim incurred by Indemnified Party, including fees and disbursements of counsel.
Section 9.5 Exclusive Remedies. Following the Closing, the remedies provided for in this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties and their respective directors, managers, officers, members, partners, employees, Affiliates, agents, representatives, successors and assigns for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that nothing herein is intended to waive any claims for fraud or waive any equitable remedies to which a party may be entitled.
