        business combination, or similar transaction involving the Property. Seller

        9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or
        otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election

        remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to **** Section
        9.1, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate,
        except that the obligations in Sections 10.1 and 10.3 will survive; provided,

        the
        certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(a), and any other certificate
        or
        document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing. The
        right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such
        representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations will not be affected
        by
        any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or
        capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution
        and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy
        or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty,
        covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy
        of
        any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with

        which Plum incurs as a result of any Breach by Seller under this Agreement.
        The
        remedies provided in this Section 10.3 will not be exclusive of or limit
        any
        other remedies that may be available to Plum or the other Indemnified

        matter covered by this Section 10.3.
 
 **10.4**  **Indemnification
        and Payment of Damages by Plum.** Plum
        will
        indemnify and hold harmless Seller, and will pay to Seller the amount of

        based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by such
        Person with Plum (or any Person acting on its behalf) in connection with
        any of
        the Contemplated Transactions.
 
 **10.5**  **Procedure
        For Indemnification-Third Party Claims.**
 
 (a)  Promptly
        after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10.2, 10.4, or (to the
        extent provided in the last sentence of Section 10.3) Section 10.3 of notice
        of
        the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will,
        if a
        claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give
        notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the
        failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying
        party
        of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the
        extent
        that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action
        is
        prejudiced by the indemnifying party's failure to give such notice.
 
 (b)  If
        any
        Proceeding referred to in Section 10.5(a) is brought against an indemnified
        party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of
        such
        Proceeding, the indemnifying party will, unless the claim involves Taxes,
        be
        entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes
        (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and
        the
        indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would
        be
        inappropriate; or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable
        assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such
        Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding),
        to
        assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the
        indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the
        indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding,
        the
        indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense,
        be
        liable to the indemnified party under this **** Section
        10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the
        defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the
        indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other
        than
        reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the
        defense
        of a Proceeding (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this
        Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of
        and
        subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims
        may
        be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent
        unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal
        Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on
        any
        other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the
        sole
        relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying
        party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect
        to
        any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.
        If
        notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding
        and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified
        party's notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election
        to
        assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound
        by
        any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement
        effected by the indemnified party.
 
 19
 (c)  Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there
        is a
        reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its
        affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would
        be
        entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may,
        by
        notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend,
        compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not
        be
        bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise
        or
        settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably
        withheld).
 
 (d)  Seller
        consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding
        is
        brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that an
        Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding
        or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on
        Seller
        with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.
 
 **10.6**  **Procedure
        For Indemnification-Other Claims.** A claim
        for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may
        be
        asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is
        sought.

        (b) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any
        filing
        or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the

        destroy as much of such written information as the other party may reasonably
        request.

        or
        demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this
