Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the DGCL and public policy of the State of Delaware. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions will apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

Indemnification Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this [Article 14] (the “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice to the Party from whom indemnity is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after learning of the claim, suit, proceeding or cause of action for which indemnity is being sought (“Claim”). The Indemnifying Party’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless pursuant to [Section 14.1], [Section 14.2] or [Section 14.3], as applicable, will be reduced to the extent the Indemnified Party’s delay in providing notification pursuant to the previous sentence results in prejudice to the Indemnifying Party. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Claim for which indemnity is being sought by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within ​ days after receipt of the notice of the Claim. The assumption of defense of the Claim will not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of the Claim, nor will it constitute waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense. The Indemnified Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party has the right to assume and conduct the defense of the Claim with counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party will not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money. The Indemnified Party will not settle any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above, # the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and # the Indemnified Party reserves any right it may have under this [Article 14] to obtain indemnification from the Indemnified Party.

For the purposes of this Agreement, # the term “Indemnitee” shall refer to the Person or Persons indemnified, or entitled, or claiming to be entitled, to be indemnified, pursuant to the provisions of [Section 8.2 or 8.3]3], as the case may be, and # the term “Indemnitor” shall refer to the Person having the actual or alleged obligation to indemnify pursuant to such provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative will have the sole and exclusive right to act on behalf of the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to any indemnification claims made pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, including bringing and settling any claims hereunder and receiving any notices on behalf of the Seller Indemnified Parties.

Any entity entitled to indemnification under clause 21.2 or 21.3 shall give notice to the indemnifying party of any Losses or Claims that may be subject to indemnification, promptly after learning of such Losses or Claims, and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such Claims with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party with counsel so selected, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement of such Losses or Claims made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party with respect to such Losses or Claims.

The party seeking indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying party (“Indemnifying Party”) notice (a “Claim Notice”) of its indemnification claim which notice shall # be in writing, # include the basis for the indemnification, and # include the amount Indemnified Party believes is the amount to be indemnified, if reasonably possible.

In the event that # an Indemnified Party becomes aware of the existence of any Indemnification Claim or # any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted, or any claim shall be asserted, by any Person not party to this Agreement in respect of an Indemnification Claim (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to be delivered to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) which, in a claim against the Indemnity Escrow Fund, shall be delivered to the Representative and Schultz; provided, however, that so long as such notice is given within the applicable time period described in [Section 9.1], no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such delay. Each Claim Notice shall be in writing and # shall specify the basis for indemnification claimed by the Indemnified Party, # if such Claim Notice is being given with respect to a Third-Party Claim, shall describe in reasonable detail such Third-Party Claim and shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant pleadings, demands and other papers served on the Indemnified Party and # shall specify the amount of (or if not finally determined, a good faith estimate of, if reasonably practicable) the Losses being incurred by, or imposed upon, the Indemnified Party on account of the basis for the claim for indemnification.

Indemnification Procedures. If any third-party claim is commenced against a Party entitled to indemnification under [Section 9.1] or [Section 9.2] (the “Indemnified Party”), notice thereof will be given to the Party that is obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) as promptly as

Whenever Indemnitee believes that he is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (other than pursuant to [Section 4] above), Indemnitee shall submit a written request for indemnification to the Company. Any request for indemnification shall include sufficient documentation or information reasonably available to Indemnitee to support his claim for indemnification. Indemnitee shall submit his claim for indemnification within a reasonable time not to exceed five (5) years after any judgment, order, settlement, dismissal, arbitration award, conviction, acceptance of a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, final termination or other disposition or partial disposition of any Proceeding, whichever is the later date for which Indemnitee requests indemnification. The president or the secretary or other appropriate officer of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors of the Company in writing that Indemnitee has made such request. Determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than sixty (60) days after the Company’s receipt of the written request for such indemnification. If no determination has been made in such 60-day period, the Company shall be deemed to have approved the request.

Section # Determination of Right to Indemnification. Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to [Section 6.1] hereof with respect to any Proceeding, a Standard of Conduct determination will be made by the Determining Body; provided however that no such determination will be required in connection with a request for indemnification to the extent that indemnification is required by law. The Determining Body chosen to make a determination under this Agreement of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification will act reasonably and in good faith in making such determination. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any determination of entitlement to indemnification to be made prior to the final disposition of any Proceeding.

In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to 12(a), the Independent
