If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period (or such other period to which Buyer and the Seller may agree in writing), the Seller and Buyer have not so resolved such differences, the Seller and Buyer shall submit the dispute for resolution to an independent accounting firm (the “ Arbiter ”) for review and resolution of any and all matters which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement.

In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter shall: (x) be bound by the principles set forth in this Section 1.4 , (y) limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, and (z) not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party.

If the dispute is resolved by agreement among the parties or by the Arbiter, changes to the Closing Statement shall be made hereunder only for items as to which the Seller has taken exception in the Notice of Disagreement. The fees and expenses of Buyer’s independent accountants incurred in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement and review of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by the Company or Buyer, and the fees and expenses of the Seller’s independent accountants incurred in connection with its review of the Closing Statement and preparation of any Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by the Seller.

Except as provided in this Section 10.3 , the Indemnitor shall have the right, using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, to contest, defend, litigate or settle any such Third Party Claim which involves (and continues to involve) solely monetary damages; provided , that the Indemnitor shall have notified the Indemnitee in writing of its intention to so contest within fifteen (15) days of the Indemnitee having given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnitor; provided , further , that (1) the Indemnitor expressly agrees in such notice to the Indemnitee that, as between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be solely obligated to fully satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim notwithstanding any limitation with respect to indemnification included in this Agreement; (2) the Third Party Claim is not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, likely to result in Losses that will exceed the Maximum; (3) if reasonably requested to do so by the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall have made reasonably adequate provision to ensure the Indemnitee of the financial ability of the Indemnitor to satisfy the full amount of any adverse monetary judgment that may result from such Third Party Claim; (4) assumption by the Indemnitor of such Third Party Claim could not reasonably be expected to result in a Loss that would be materially detrimental to or would materially injure the Indemnitee’s reputation, future business prospects or position in any other Third Party Claim; and (5) the Indemnitor shall diligently contest the Third Party Claim (the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) being collectively referred to as the “ Litigation Conditions ”). The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in, and to be represented by counsel (at its own expense) in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnitor; provided , that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor (X) if the Indemnitor shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim or (Y) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, a conflict or potential conflict exists between Indemnitee and Indemnitor that would make such separate representation advisable. The Indemnitor shall not be entitled, or shall lose its right, to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim if the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied and the Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Indemnitor of any objection thereto.

(b)     The Indemnitor, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not enter into any compromise or settlement of, or consent to the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee: (1) enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the Indemnitee to take, or to forbear to take, any action, (2) which does not provide for a complete release by such third party of the Indemnitee or (3) requires payment by the Indemnitee of any amount. The Indemnitee shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves injunctive or other non-monetary relief that binds the Indemnitee in any way, and shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim involving monetary damages with the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitor in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnitor. No failure by an Indemnitor to acknowledge in writing its indemnification obligations under this Article X shall relieve it of such obligations to the extent such obligations exist.

(c)     If an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification against a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnitor fails to accept a tender of, or assume the defense of, a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.3 , the Indemnitor shall not be entitled, and shall lose its right, to contest, defend, litigate and settle such a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnitee shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in good faith, to contest, defend and litigate such Third Party Claim, and may settle such Third Party Claim either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnitee deems fair and reasonable; provided , that at least ten (10) days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle is given to the Indemnitor. If, pursuant to this Section 10.3 , the Indemnitee so contests, defends, litigates or settles a Third Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis by the Indemnitor for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of contesting, defending, litigating and settling the Third Party Claim which are incurred from time to time.

(d)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a Tax Audit, the provisions of Section 7.4(b) of this Agreement shall control.

10.4.       Materiality . For purposes of determining the existence of any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement, and calculating the amount of any Losses incurred in connection with any such misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement, any and all references to material or Material Adverse Effect (or other correlative terms) shall be disregarded.

10.5.       Right of Offset . Without limiting any other remedies available at law or in equity, Buyer and the Company shall have the right to set off against any payments due and owing from Buyer or the Company to the Seller to the extent Buyer or the Company has suffered a Loss and made a claim for indemnity against the Seller in this Agreement.

10.6.       Sole Remedy . Subject to Section 10.5 , the indemnification provided for in this Agreement shall be the sole remedy of the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns in respect of any claim for monetary damages arising under or out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby; provided , that this Section 10.6 shall not apply to Losses resulting from willful or intentional misrepresentations or fraud.

10.7.      No Circular Recovery . After the Closing, the Seller shall not make any claim for indemnification against or contribution from Buyer or the Company by reason of the fact that the Seller was a controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent or other representative of the Company, or based on a similar theory that would result in circular recovery, in connection with any claim brought pursuant to this Agreement.

10.8.      Effect of Investigation . The right to indemnification under this Article X shall not be affected by any investigation or audit conducted prior to or after Closing or the knowledge of any party of any breach of a representation or warranty or covenant by any other party at any time. Each party shall have the right, irrespective of any knowledge or investigation, to rely fully on the representations and warranties and covenants of the other parties herein and the Ancillary Agreements.

10.9.       Tax Treatment . Any indemnification payments under this Article X or Article VII shall be treated for Tax purposes as adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent any such indemnification payments are not permitted by applicable law to be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Purchase Price for Tax purposes, the Indemnitor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee for any Taxes imposed on any such payments (the “ Additional Indemnity ”), and for any Taxes imposed on any Additional Indemnity payments.
