Section 5.4 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Section IV.3 is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Section IV.3 is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.”

(a) 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 ATS AND ATLANTIC, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of Cerberus or its Affiliates, or (y) 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 V.4(a). 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, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) 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 V.4(a). 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. Shareholder and Cerberus 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 IV.I) 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.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section V.4(a). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section V.4fa), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct 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 Direct 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 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

Section 5.5 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Section IV.3, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by one or more of the methods set forth in clause .(ru_, Du and {£1 below. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (I 0%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. For the matters referred to in Section 5.2, other than breaches of Fundamental Representations or actual fraud of Shareholder, indemnification liability of Shareholder shall be paid and satisfied solely and exclusively by one of the following methods (or a combination of more than one such methods), as selected by Shareholder in Shareholder sole discretion:

(a) transfer of shares of Cerberus Stock, to be valued for purposes of satisfying Shareholder’s indemnification liability, at the greater of (i) the most recent reported daily closing price for shares of Cerberus common stock immediate prior to the Closing, or (ii) the mean average of the daily closing prices for shares of Cerberus common stock over the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the transfer of such shares of Cerberus Stock;

(b) execution and delivery of a promissory note, accruing interest at a simple rate of 5% per annum, with all principal and accrued interest due and payable upon maturity on the 90th day following the expiration of the “Lock-Up Period” set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement (ANNEX 2), plus the number of days taken by the Company to remove the legend from the Cerberus Stock following Shareholder’s request; or

Section 5.6 Exclusive Remedy; Fraud. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.6, other than the rights of the Parties pursuant to Section 1.2 and Section 1.3 and Section 4.2(d). the rights of Parties under this Section 5.6 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to claims based upon a breach or alleged breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein or with respect to the transactions consummated pursuant hereto; provided however that nothing in this Section 5.6 shall limit or restrict any of the Cerberus Indemnitees’ rights or ability to maintain or recover any amounts with respect to any actual fraud of Shareholder in connection with this Agreement or the transactions consummated in connection herewith.

Section 5.7 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) The amount of Losses which the Cerberus Indemnitees may recover pursuant to Section 5.2(a) shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Cerberus Indemnitees under any insurance policies or under any third-party contractual indemnification or rights of contribution in connection with respect to such Losses, net of any costs or expenses (including Taxes) incurred in connection with such recovery. The Cerberus Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue recovery for Losses under any such available insurance policies and/or contractual indemnification or rights of contribution for any Loss for which a Cerberus Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.7 to the extent reasonably collectable: provided, that the pursuit of any such recovery shall not be a condition or prerequisite to making of a claim for indemnification, or the receipt of indemnification payments, under this Section 5.7.

(b) The Cerberus Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover any Losses under Section 5.2(a) (other than with respect to the Fundamental Representations) unless the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $10,000, at which time the Buyer Parties shall be entitled to recover the full amount of all Losses in excess of $10,000.

(c) In no event shall Shareholder’s aggregate liability under (i) Section 5.2(a) (other than with respect to the Fundamental Representations and Special Representations, which shall be subject only to the limitation in clause (ii)). collectively, exceed $100,000 or (ii) Section 5.2(a) and ill collectively exceed $1,000,000. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no maximum liability for Shareholder with respect to any actual fraud of Shareholder in connection with this Agreement or the transactions consummated in connection herewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Shareholder shall not be liable for any actual fraud of any other Person.

Section 5.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 5.9 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.
