(g) The provisions of this Section 5.5 (other than this Section 5.5(g)) and the provisions of Section 5.6 (other than Section 5.6(f)) shall not apply to Taxes (Taxes being governed by the Tax Matters Agreement). (h) The Indemnifying Party shall establish a procedure reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed of the progress of the Third-Party Claim and to notify the Indemnitee when any such Third-Party Claim is closed, regardless of whether such Third-Party Claim was resolved by settlement, verdict, dismissal or otherwise.
