All decisions and actions by the Purchaser Representative, including any agreement between the Purchaser Representative and the Company, the Seller Representative, the Seller or any Indemnifying Party relating to the defense or settlement of any claims for which an Indemnifying Party may be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant to Article VI, shall be binding upon the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, successors and assigns, and neither they nor any other Party shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 9.16 are irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Purchaser Representative ▇▇▇▇▇▇ accepts its appointment and authorization as the Purchaser Representative under this Agreement.
(b) The Purchaser Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted under any Purchaser Representative Document as the Purchaser Representative while acting in good faith and without willful misconduct or gross negligence, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Representative from and against any and all Losses incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Purchaser Representative (in its capacity as such) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Purchaser Representative’s duties under any Purchaser Representative Document, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Purchaser Representative. In no event shall the Purchaser Representative in such capacity be liable under or in connection with any Purchaser Representative Document for any indirect, punitive, special or consequential damages. The Purchaser Representative shall be fully protected in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that it in good faith believes to be genuine, including facsimiles or copies thereof, and no Person shall have any Liability for relying on the Purchaser Representative in the foregoing manner. In connection with the performance of its rights and obligations hereunder, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right at any time and from time to time to select and engage, at the cost and expense of the Purchaser, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, advisors, consultants and clerical personnel and obtain such other professional and expert assistance, maintain such records and incur other out-of-pocket expenses, as the Purchaser Representative may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time. All of the indemnities, immunities, releases and powers granted to the Purchaser Representative under this Section 9.16 shall survive the Closing and continue indefinitely.
(c) The Person serving as the Purchaser Representative may resign upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser and the Seller Representative, provided, that the Purchaser Representative appoints in writing a replacement Purchaser Representative. Each successor Purchaser Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Purchaser Representative, and the term “Purchaser Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include any such successor Purchaser Representatives.
Shareholder Representative (a) Each of the Indemnifying Securityholders hereby appoints EK Holdings as its agent and attorney-in-fact, as the Shareholder Representative (the "Shareholder Representative") for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Securityholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to Parent from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims by Parent, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of either of the Shareholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Chief Executive Officer of EK Holdings, shall be the only person authorized to take any of the foregoing actions for EK Holdings, in its capacity as Shareholder Representative hereunder. Such agency may be changed by the Indemnifying Securityholders, as the case may be, from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative may not be removed unless holders of a two-thirds interest of the Escrow Fund (or, in the event there are no amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund, by any four (4) of the six (6) Principal Shareholders) agree to such removal and to the identity of the substituted agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Shareholder Representative Substitution Event, then, without any further action on the part of EK Holdings, any Indemnifying Shareholder, the Company, Parent or the Escrow Agent, EK Holdings shall automatically be removed as the Shareholder Representative hereunder and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall automatically be substituted as the Shareholder Representative hereunder. EK Holdings shall give Parent and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ prompt written notice of the occurrence
