Indemnitees”) harmless from and shall reimburse the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee for any Losses suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee after the Sale Date which results from: 

(a) Any material breach of a representation or warranty by Seller, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Seller, contained
in this Agreement;

 provided, however, that the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee has taken all reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or
expenses, which such failure of mitigation shall not relieve Seller of its indemnification obligations in this Section 10.01 but may affect the amount of such obligation. Purchaser shall notify Seller promptly after receiving written
notice of the assertion of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions, decrees or any third party claims 

  
 32 









 
subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”). Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, Seller shall have the right to assume the
defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee, but may not enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the applicable Purchaser Indemnitee, which shall

respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any exercise of such rights by a Purchaser Indemnitee shall not relieve Seller of its obligations and liabilities under

(a) Any material breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Purchaser
contained in this Agreement; and 
 (b) Litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions or decrees,
the basis for which occurred after the Sale Date, resulting from any of the items described in Section 10.02(a) above; 

provided, however, that the applicable Seller Indemnitee has taken all reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such losses,
damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses, which such failure of mitigation shall not relieve Purchaser of its indemnification obligations in this Section 10.02 but may affect the amount of such obligation. Seller shall
notify Purchaser promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions, decrees or any third party claims subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a

Seller Indemnitee shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 10.02 or any other provision of this Agreement. With respect to any Third 

  
 33 









 
Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement, the applicable Seller Indemnitee shall be required to cooperate in good faith with Purchaser to ensure the proper and adequate defense
of such Third-Party Claim.

If Purchaser, any of its affiliates or any officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing is at any time requested or required to disclose any information supplied to it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with prompt notice of such request(s) so that Seller may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive Purchaser’s compliance with the terms of this Section 11.02. If Seller, any of its
affiliates or any officer, director, employee or agent of any of the foregoing is at any time requested or required to disclose any information supplied to it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller agrees to provide
Purchaser with prompt notice of such request(s) so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive Seller’s compliance with the terms of this Section 11.02. Notwithstanding the terms of this
Section 11.02, if, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, Purchaser or Seller is nonetheless, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose information concerning the other party to any tribunal
or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Purchaser or Seller may disclose such information to such tribunal without liability hereunder. If the proposed acquisition is not consummated, each party agrees to promptly
return to the other, promptly upon request, all confidential materials, and all copies thereof, which have been furnished to it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

finder’s, agent’s, broker’s, advisor’s or originator’s fee arising out of or in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all such fees. The parties hereto shall
indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against any such obligation or liability and any expense incurred in investigating or defending (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) any claim based upon the other party’s actions in
connection with such obligation. 
 Section 11.04 Relationship of Parties.
