Section 7.3. Landlord Consents.

(a) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require Seller or any other Person to pay any money or other consideration to any Person or to initiate any claim or proceeding against any Person) to obtain the Landlord Consents.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller’s failure to obtain any Landlord Consent after using commercially reasonable efforts shall not (i) entitle Purchaser to terminate this Agreement, (ii) be a condition to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement as provided in Section 10.2 or otherwise, (iii) be or be deemed to contribute to a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) entitle Purchaser to any remedy or action other than as provided in this Section 7.3(b), except that delivery of the Landlord Consents set forth on Schedule 1.1(g)(ii) is a condition to Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement as provided in Section 10.2(d).

Section 7.4. Other Third Party Consents.

(c) Any disclosure in any updated Schedules delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 7.5(a) or 7.5(b) shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 10.2 have been satisfied.

Section 7.6. Servicing Prior to Closing. With respect to each of the Loans, from the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller shall service such Loans in a manner that is consistent with Seller’s general loan servicing policies and practices.

(b) For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, Seller will not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, solicit for employment any Transferred Employee; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.8(b) shall be deemed to prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from (i) making general solicitations not targeted at Transferred Employees (including job announcements in newspapers and industry publications or on the Internet), (ii) soliciting any Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser prior to Seller, or any of its Affiliates, soliciting such Transferred Employee or (iii) using employee search firms, so long as such employee search firms are not instructed to and do not engage in solicitations of Transferred Employees not otherwise permitted under this Section 7.8(b), and, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii), thereafter employing such Transferred Employee.

(c) If any provision or part of this Section 7.8 is held by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court or authority making such determination will have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision or to delete specific words or phrases as necessary (but only to the minimum extent necessary) to cause such provision or part to be valid and enforceable. If such court or authority does not have the legal authority to take the actions described in the preceding sentence, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith a modified provision that would, in so far as possible, reflect the original intent of this Section 7.8 without violating applicable law.

As of the Closing, Purchaser shall satisfy all of the standards and requirements imposed as a condition to obtaining, or necessary to comply with, the Regulatory Approvals.

Purchaser shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, notify Seller promptly (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day following notice) of any significant development with respect to any application, notice or other filing Purchaser files with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any regulatory authority shall require the modification of any terms and provisions of this Agreement as a condition to granting any Regulatory Approval, the Parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to seek a mutually agreeable adjustment to the terms of the transaction contemplated hereby, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Purchaser agrees that it shall be solely responsible for complying with any required branch closing, consolidation, relocation or other notices or applications to any Governmental Entity and the Customers in the event Purchaser should at any time determine to close, consolidate or relocate any of the Branches or to close, consolidate or relocate any branch of Purchaser in connection with or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be permitted to (w) engage in advertising, solicitations or marketing campaigns in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and not primarily directed to or targeted at Customers, (x) engage in lending, deposit, safe deposit, trust or other financial services relationships existing as of the date of this Agreement with Customers through branch offices of Purchaser, (y) respond to unsolicited inquiries by Customers with respect to banking or other financial services offered by Purchaser and (z) provide notices or communications relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to each Transferred Employee, for the one (1) year period immediately following the Closing Date, to the extent such Transferred Employee remains employed during such period, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to each Transferred Employee:

(i) A base salary or wage rate that is at least equal to the base salary or wage rate specified in the offer letter provided to such Transferred Employee pursuant to Section 8.5(a); and

(ii) Incentive compensation opportunities and employee benefits (other than as set forth in Section 8.5(g), Section 8.5(i) and Section 8.5(j)) that are, in each case, substantially comparable to those provided by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate to its similarly-situated employees as of the Effective Time.

(c) Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide that each Transferred Employee will be eligible, immediately following the Effective Time, to participate in any qualified profit sharing plan/401(k) plan or plans of Purchaser or its Affiliates (“Purchaser 401(k) Plans”), based on each plan’s eligibility criteria as of the Effective Time and shall be credited with the period of years of service recognized under Seller’s 401(k) plan in determining eligibility to participate, vesting and level of matching contributions in such Purchaser 401(k) Plans. To the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Purchaser 401(k) Plan and applicable law, as of the Effective Time, Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate) shall cause the applicable Purchaser 401(k) Plan, at the Transferred Employee’s election, to accept a roll over, including direct rollovers, of any cash distributions received from Seller’s 401(k) plans.

(d) Immediately following the Closing, each Transferred Employee will be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s or its Affiliates qualified pension plan or plans, based on each such plan’s eligibility criteria as of the Effective Time. Each Transferred Employee shall be credited with the period of years of service recognized under Seller’s pension plan in determining eligibility to participate and vesting (but not for benefits or benefit accruals) in Purchaser’s or its Affiliates pension plan(s).

(e) Effective as of the Effective Time, Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, to give each Transferred Employee full credit for years of service with Seller or its Affiliates for purposes of, and to the extent that years of service is a factor in, eligibility, vesting, determination of level of benefits, under any employee benefit plans policies, programs, or arrangements of Purchaser or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, policies, programs or arrangements which provide vacation or other Paid-Time Off (“PTO”), severance, leaves of absence, education assistance, sick leave or other similar benefits (each a “Purchaser Benefit Arrangement”).

(f) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall, or shall cause each of its Affiliates to, provide that each Transferred Employee will become eligible, effective as of the Effective Time, to participate in Purchaser Benefit Arrangements which provide health and welfare benefits, including, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, retiree medical benefits and health care or dependent care flexible spending accounts, as such Purchaser Benefit arrangements may exist, without the need to provide any evidence of insurability. Purchaser shall waive any eligibility waiting periods and any pre-existing condition limitations with respect to such Transferred Employee and his or her dependents and such Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents shall be given credit for amounts paid under a corresponding plan of Seller or its Affiliates for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with the Purchaser Benefit Arrangement.

(g) Any PTO balance to which a Transferred Employee is entitled pursuant to Seller’s PTO policy as of the Closing Date shall be paid in full by Seller on or before the first regularly scheduled payroll date of Seller immediately following the Closing Date. No such PTO balance shall carryover to Purchaser, in whole or in part, and Purchaser shall not have any responsibility therefor. Subject to Section 8.5(e), Purchaser shall, or shall cause each of its Affiliates to, provide that, effective as of the Effective Time, each Transferred Employee shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s PTO policy on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser, pro-rated to reflect the number of days between the Closing Date and the end of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs. Purchaser shall provide each such Transferred Employee with a fair and reasonable opportunity to use all such PTO pursuant to Purchaser’s PTO policy.

(h) Immediately following the Effective Time, Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be responsible for providing all notices, and, as of the Effective Time, shall assume all liabilities in respect of continuation coverage, required under Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA to all individuals who are or become “M&A Qualified Beneficiaries” (as such term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 54.4980B-9) as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 12.10. Actions With Respect to ▇▇▇ and 401(k) Plan Deposit Liabilities.

(a) At or before the Closing, Seller shall (i) resign as of the Effective Time as the trustee or custodian, as applicable, of each ▇▇▇ and 401(k) Plan of which it is the trustee or custodian (or cause the resignation of any such trustee or custodian, in the event Seller is not the trustee or custodian), (ii) to the extent permitted by the governing documents of each such ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan and applicable law, appoint Purchaser as successor trustee or custodian, as applicable, of each such ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan (or cause such appointment, in the event Seller is not the trustee or custodian), and Purchaser agrees to accept each such trusteeship or custodianship under the terms and conditions of Seller’s plan documents for each such ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan and assume all fiduciary and custodial obligations with respect to each such ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan as of the Effective Time, and (iii) deliver to each ▇▇▇ participant or the 401(k) Plan employer sponsor such notice of the foregoing as is required by the governing documents of each such ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan or by applicable law.

If, pursuant to the terms of the governing documents of any such ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan or applicable law, (A) Purchaser is not permitted to be appointed as successor trustee or custodian, or the ▇▇▇ participant or the 401(k) Plan objects in writing to such designation, or is entitled to, and does, in fact, name a successor trustee or custodian other than Purchaser, or (B) such ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan includes assets which are not Deposit Liabilities and are not being transferred to Purchaser or the assumption of such deposit liabilities included in such ▇▇▇ would result in a loss of qualification of such ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan under the Code or applicable IRS regulations, all deposit liabilities of Seller held under such ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan shall be excluded from the Deposit Liabilities (such excluded deposits liabilities being referred to in this Agreement as the “Excluded ▇▇▇/401(k) Plan Deposits”) and Seller may remain as trustee or custodian of such Excluded ▇▇▇/401(k) Plan Deposits. Upon appointment as a successor trustee or custodian, as applicable, for such IRAs or /401(k) Plans, Purchaser shall perform the services and carry out the duties and obligations required of it under the applicable accounts, the Code and applicable law.

(b) To the extent the Deposit Liabilities include certain IRAs and 401(k) Plans that are required to make certain periodic distributions to the ▇▇▇ or 401(k) Plan participant (or beneficiary) either at the participant’s request or because the participant has attained age 70 1/2, effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall continue to make such periodic distributions in accordance with the reasonable distribution instructions forwarded by Seller to Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to assume as of the Effective Time the obligation to pay each minimum distribution required by federal law by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs and, in consideration of such obligation, Seller agrees not to withhold the amount of such distributions from the aggregate amount of the Deposit Liabilities.

The out-of-pocket-costs and expenses of preparing and filing any such documentation shall be split equally between Seller and Purchaser.

(b) In accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, from the date hereof until the applicable Closing Date, Seller shall make all filings of continuation statements necessary to maintain perfection of security interests related to Loans that are Purchased Assets.

(c) Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver on or before the sixtieth (60^th) day after the Closing Date the Loans that are Purchased Assets, duly and properly endorsed, to Purchaser by Seller together with all notes, guarantees, agreements and other evidence thereof and all collateral and security interests securing such Loans in the possession of Seller and all necessary assignments (if applicable, in recordable form), endorsements and other instruments of conveyance as may be necessary under the circumstances; provided that all such assignments, endorsements and other instruments of conveyance shall be without recourse as to collection to Seller. If and to the extent that, and for so long as, any of such collateral remains in the possession of Seller after the Closing Date, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to hold such collateral in a manner designed to ensure the uninterrupted perfection of the security interests in such collateral for the sole benefit of Purchaser. From the Closing until such delivery, Seller shall hold any such undelivered documentation related to the Loans that are Purchased Assets as the agent exclusively for Purchaser, and shall exercise the same degree of care that Seller exercises over its own similar documentation.

Section 12.12. Conversion.

(a) Seller shall deconvert, and Purchaser shall convert, account information as to the Deposit Liabilities on the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 12.12. Each Party shall bear all costs and expenses imposed by such Party’s core processor in connection with such deconversion and conversion.

(b) All tasks and obligations concerning the provision of data processing services to or for the Business after the Closing Date, shall be performed solely and exclusively by Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges its assumption of all such tasks and obligations, and further acknowledges that any delay, failure, or inability on its part to perform such tasks or comply with such obligations, except as and to the extent attributable to any delay, failure, or inability on the part of Seller in performing its obligations in accordance with Schedule 12.12, shall not result in any liability or obligation of Seller or any of its Affiliates and shall not affect any of the rights of Seller under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII
POST-CLOSING MATTERS

Section 13.1. Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date:

(a) Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, Seller shall assist Purchaser in the orderly transition of the operations of the Business and Seller shall give such further assurances and execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectively vest in Purchaser title in the Purchased Assets in the manner contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Seller need not incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses in connection with its agreements in this Section 13.1(a) unless such costs or expenses are pre-approved by Purchaser and are immediately reimbursed by Purchaser.

(b) Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, Purchaser shall give such further assurances to Seller and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such acknowledgments and other instruments and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary and appropriate to effectively relieve and discharge Seller from any obligations remaining with respect to the Deposit Liabilities or other Assumed Liabilities; provided that Purchaser need not incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses in connection with its agreements in this Section 13.1(b) unless such costs or expenses are pre-approved by Seller and are immediately reimbursed by Seller.

(c) Purchaser agrees that in the event that any asset or liability of Seller which is not a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability is erroneously transferred to Purchaser as part of the Purchased Assets or Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall promptly upon knowledge of such erroneous transfer execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effectively vest in Seller title to such erroneously transferred asset or liability, as is reasonably agreed to by each Party.

(d) Seller agrees that in the event that any asset or liability of Seller which is a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability is erroneously not transferred to Purchaser at the Closing, Seller shall, promptly upon knowledge of such erroneous transfer, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effectively vest in Purchaser title to such asset or liability, as is reasonably agreed to by each Party.

(e) In the event any such erroneously transferred or not transferred asset or liability is transferred to either Party pursuant to Section 13.1(c) or Section 13.1(d), the Parties shall, as between themselves, treat any such asset or liability as having been or not been transferred, as the case may be, on the Closing Date with an appropriate adjustment in the Purchase Price, so that the Parties will receive the benefits and be subject to the obligations as they would have received if such asset or liability had been properly transferred or not transferred, as reasonably agreed to by the Parties.

Section 13.2. Access to Books and Records. For a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date, each Party shall, subject to applicable law regarding the confidentiality of bank records, have commercially reasonable access to any books and records of the other Party relating to the Business, and the requesting Party, at its own expense, may make copies and extracts when such copies and extracts are required by regulatory authorities, for litigation purposes, or for tax or accounting purposes or as otherwise appropriate for the requesting Party’s legitimate business needs; provided that in the event that as of the end of such period any tax year of Seller is under examination by any taxing authority, Seller shall have such access to such books and records until a final determination of the tax liability of Seller for that year has been made. If such access, copies and extracts require use of a Party’s time, equipment or facilities, the user shall promptly reimburse the other Party for all out-of-pocket costs incurred, as well as pay a fee reasonably determined by the Parties.

Section 13.3. Deposit Histories. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, in case of any dispute with or inquiry by any Customer who owns a Deposit Account, which dispute or inquiry relates to the servicing of such Deposit Account by Seller prior to the date for which a deposit history has been provided to Purchaser, Seller will provide Purchaser, where available and to the extent reasonably requested by Purchaser and not already provided to Purchaser, information regarding the Deposit Account and copies of pertinent documents or instruments with respect to such dispute or inquiry so as to permit Purchaser to respond to such Customer within a period of time and in a manner which would comply with all applicable laws, provided that Seller has been given a reasonable period of time to respond to Purchaser’s request. Seller shall be reimbursed by Purchaser for all out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such request.

ARTICLE XIV

(a) Any liability of Seller which is not an Assumed Liability;

(b) The breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement, including any inaccuracy in or omission from any schedule, certificate or other instrument furnished by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(c) The breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller in this Agreement or any other document or instrument furnished or to be furnished by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) Any and all taxes payable by Seller pursuant to Section 3.6(b), Section 4.1 or Section 4.3, including, without limitation, those arising upon subsequent audit by any taxing authority, including any interest or penalties; or

(e) The Specified Litigation.

Section 14.2. Purchaser’s Indemnity. Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller and its Affiliates and their respective successors, permitted assigns, directors, shareholders, officers and employees from and against all Damages which Seller or its Affiliates or their respective successors, permitted assigns, directors, shareholders, officers or employees shall receive, suffer or incur, arising out of or resulting from:

(a) The Assumed Liabilities;

(b) Any act or omission of Purchaser from or after the Effective Time relating to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Employees;

(c) The breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement, including any inaccuracy in or omission from any schedule, certificate or other instrument furnished by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement;

(e) Any and all taxes payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.6(b) or Section 4.3, including, without limitation, those arising upon subsequent audit by any taxing authority, including any interest or penalties.

Section 14.3. Indemnification Procedure. If an Indemnified Party is aware that a claim, demand or other circumstance exists that has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article XIV (whether or not the amount of the claim is then quantifiable), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice of such claim, demand or circumstance to the Indemnitor, and the Indemnified Party will thereafter keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed with respect to such claim, demand or circumstance, provided that failure of the Indemnified Party to give the Indemnitor prompt notice as provided in this Agreement shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent, if any, that the Indemnitor’s rights shall have been actually prejudiced by reason of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall supply the Indemnitor with such information regarding such claim, action, suit or other proceeding as the Indemnitor reasonably requests. If any claim, action, suit or other proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in (and, in its discretion, to assume) the defense of such claim, action, suit or other proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such claim, action, suit or other proceeding with counsel of its own choice at the expense of the Indemnitor if, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party’s counsel, representation by the Indemnitor’s counsel may present a conflict of interest or there may be defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any claim, action, suit or other proceeding as provided in this Section 14.3, the Indemnified Party shall be permitted to join in the defense of such claim, action, suit or other proceeding with counsel of its own selection and at its own expense (unless provided otherwise in this Section 14.3). If the Indemnitor shall not promptly assume the defense of any claim, action, suit or other proceeding, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim, action, suit or proceeding in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the expense of the Indemnitor. Neither Party shall settle, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment with respect to a claim, action, suit or other proceeding subject to indemnification under this Article XIV without the other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Indemnitor may agree without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party to any settlement, compromise, discharge or consent to an entry of judgment in each case that by its terms (i) unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liability or obligation in connection with such claim and (ii) does not impose injunctive or other non-monetary equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, or their respective businesses.

Section 14.4. Limitations on Liability.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 14.1(b) or Section 14.2(c), unless and until its aggregate Damages exceed 200,000 dollars ($200,000) (the “Deductible Amount”), after which such Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of its Damages in excess of such Deductible Amount; and (ii) in no event shall the Damages payable by (x) Seller pursuant to Section 14.1(b) or (y) Purchaser pursuant to Section 14.2(c) in the aggregate exceed 3,500,000 dollars ($3,500,000), respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the limitations set forth in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to Damages based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.11, 5.17 or 6.11; (2) with respect to the Damages based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.10, the reference to 3,500,000 dollars ($3,500,000) in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be read as a reference to the Deposit Premium; and (3) the limitations set forth clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to Damages based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of fraud of the Indemnitor.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS), EXEMPLARY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF ANY OF THEM RELATING TO ANY SUCH CLAIM. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN THE EVENT A NONAPPEALABLE COURT ORDER REQUIRES A PARTY TO PAY A THIRD PARTY THAT IS NOT AN AFFILIATE SUCH DAMAGES AND SUCH DAMAGES ARE SUBJECT TO THE OTHER PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND AS LIMITED BY OTHER PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH DAMAGES SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATION ON LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 14.4(b).

Section 14.5. General.

(a) Each Indemnified Party shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article XIV to use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any insurance proceeds available to such Indemnified Party with regard to the applicable claims. The amount which any Indemnitor is or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article XIV shall be reduced (retroactively, if necessary) by any insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any direct relevant collections costs and increases in premiums) by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party in reduction of the related Damages. If an Indemnified Party shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from the Indemnitor in respect of Damages and shall subsequently receive insurance proceeds or other amounts in respect of such Damages, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly refund to the Indemnitor a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received (net of any direct relevant collection costs and increase in premiums).

(b) In addition to the requirements of Section 14.5(a), each Indemnified Party shall be obligated in connection with any claim for indemnification under this Article XIV to use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to such Damages.

(c) Once Damages are agreed to by the Indemnitor or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article XIV, the Indemnitor shall satisfy its indemnification obligations under this Article XIV within ten (10) Business Days of such final adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Indemnified Party. The Parties agree that should an Indemnitor not make full payment of any such obligations within such ten (10) Business Day period, any amount payable but not paid shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnitor or final adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

(d) Except for the Parties’ rights to specific performance and injunctive relief, the remedies set forth in this Article XIV constitute the sole remedies available under this Agreement, unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement.

(e) All indemnification payments under this Article XIV shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE XV

No waiver by either Party of any condition or the breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, or a waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. Performance of or compliance with any obligation, agreement or condition contained in this Agreement or satisfaction of any obligation, agreement or condition may be waived in writing by the Parties to whom compliance with such obligation, agreement or condition is owed, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or to the extent any such obligation, agreement or condition is required by applicable law.
