Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that # is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or # seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to [Section 5.5(b)], it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, # there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or # there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to [Section 5.5(b)], pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 4.5) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non‑defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

Third Party Claims. If Parent becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) which Parent reasonably believes may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (except for claims with respect to indemnification pursuant to [Section 9.2(a)(viii)], which shall be governed by Section 8.2), Parent shall provide written notice of such Third Party Claim (a “Third Party Claim Notice”) to the Stockholder Representative promptly of after the Parent has knowledge thereof, which notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, set forth, to the extent reasonably practicable, a non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amounts of such Losses relating to such Third Party Claim, and include a copy of all correspondence and other documents received by Parent or any other Indemnified Party that relate to such Third Party Claim. If there is a Third Party Claim that, if adversely determined, would give rise to a right of recovery for Losses under the Agreement, then any amounts reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim, ACTIVE/108710474.16

Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action (other than any matter relating to Taxes of Buyer or its Affiliates) made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party confirms in writing to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of a Third Party Claim the Indemnifying Party’s responsibility to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party therefor and within such thirty (30) day period demonstrates to the Indemnified Party’s reasonable satisfaction that, as of such time, the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources in order to indemnify for the full amount of any potential Liability in connection with such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party), and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to [Section 8.05(b)], it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, # there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or # there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim or if at any time the Indemnifying Party fails to have sufficient financial resources in order to indemnify for the full amount of any potential Liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to [Section 8.05(b)], pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.05) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to have sole control over (and if it so desires, the Indemnified Party shall have sole control over) the defense, settlement, adjustment or compromise of (but the Indemnifying Party shall nevertheless be required to pay all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise): # any Third Party Claim that seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; # any matter relating to Taxes for periods after the Closing Date; # any Third Party Claim pursuant to [Section 8.02(a)] prior to such time as the aggregate amount of the Losses of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to such Third Party Claim and all prior indemnification claims pursuant to this Article VIII are not reasonably expected to exceed the Basket or are reasonably expected to exceed the Cap; and # any criminal proceeding.

In order for a party (the “indemnitee”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of, or involving a claim or demand made by a third party against the indemnitee (a “Third-Party Claim”), such indemnitee must notify the party from whom indemnification hereunder is sought (the “indemnitor”) in writing of the Third-Party Claim no later than twenty (20) days after such claim or demand is first asserted. Such notice shall state in reasonable detail the amount or estimated amount of such Third-Party Claim (if possible), and shall identify the specific basis (or bases) for such Third-Party Claim, including the representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement alleged to have been breached. Failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnitor shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnitee shall deliver to the indemnitor, without undue delay, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers received by the indemnitee) relating to the Third-Party Claim so long as any such disclosure could not reasonably be expected, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, to have an adverse effect on the attorney-client or any other privilege that may be available to the indemnitee in connection therewith.

If a third party initiates a claim, demand, dispute, lawsuit or arbitration (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Person (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party might make a claim for indemnification against any Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this ARTICLE 6, then the Indemnified Party must promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that any failure on the part of an Indemnified Party to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE 6 (except to the extent, and only to the extent, such failure materially prejudices the defense of such proceeding).

Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that # is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a Governmental Authority or a supplier or customer of the Company, # seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or # involves a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to [Section 8.05(b)], it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, # there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or # there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to [Section 8.05(b)], pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.05) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnitee shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnitor’s expense and by the Indemnitor’s own counsel, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnitor is Seller, such Indemnitor shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that # is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or # seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee. In the event that the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 7.3, it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnitor’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, # there are legal defenses available to an Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor; or # there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee that cannot be waived, the Indemnitor shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnitee determines counsel is required. If the Indemnitor elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnitee in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee may, subject to Section 7.3, pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management and employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

Third Party Claims. As between the Parties, Licensee shall defend against and settle any alleged, threatened or actual claim, suit or proceeding by a Third Party that the use or registration of the Product Trademarks in the Territory infringes, dilutes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any Trademark or other right of that Third Party or constitutes unfair trade practices or any other similar offense or any other claims, suits or proceedings as may be brought by a Third Party in connection with the use of the Product Trademarks with respect to a Licensed

Third Party Claims. If any Proceeding is initiated by any Third Party (any such Proceeding, a “Third Party Claim”) against any Person entitled to seek indemnification under this Article VIII (an “Indemnified Party”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification with respect thereto under this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, after receipt of written notice of such Proceeding, provide written notice of such Proceeding to the party or parties from whom the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification (which in the case of a claim against any of or all Sellers, such notice shall be to the Seller Representative) (the “Responsible Party”), which notice shall describe such Proceeding in reasonable detail and the amount claimed in respect thereof (if known and quantifiable); provided, that the failure to so notify the Responsible Party shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent the Responsible Party shall be actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to so notify. The Responsible Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Proceeding giving rise to an Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at the Responsible Party’s expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense within thirty (30) days of its receipt of notice of the Proceeding; provided, that prior to the Responsible Party assuming control of such defense, it shall demonstrate to the Indemnified Party in writing the Responsible Party’s financial ability (or, if such claim, is against any or all Sellers, the Seller(s)’ ability) to provide full indemnification to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Proceeding (including the ability to post any bond required by the court or adjudicative body before which such Proceeding is taking place) and # subject to the limitations set forth herein, agree in writing to be fully responsible for all Losses relating to such Proceeding; provided, further, that:
