(f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.3, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that an Indemnified Party is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation that may constitute or result in Damages for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, and such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Indemnifying Party, (ii) such Indemnified Party may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, and (iii) such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VI).

If the Legal Proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly so notify the Indemnifying Party; and if the Indemnified Party has delivered a copy of the Expected Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent and funds have been retained in escrow after the Termination Date (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with respect to such Expected Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by both

parties instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse such retained funds to the Indemnifying Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In the event that an Expected Claim Notice has been delivered by the Buyer to the Escrow Agent with respect to a written claim or demand by a third party, and not with respect to a Legal Proceeding initiated by a third party, then for purposes hereof and the release of funds from the Escrow Agent, such written claim or demand shall survive so long as the Buyer has a good faith belief that there is a risk of liability pursuant to such written claim or demand. The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VI shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by an Indemnified Party, whether before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date (including through supplements to the Disclosure Schedule permitted by Section 4.6), with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification hereunder or (ii) any waiver by an Indemnified Party of any closing condition relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties or the performance of or compliance with agreements and covenants.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, recourse by the Indemnified Parties to an amount equal to (i) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (based on each Indemnifying Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share) (the “Additional Cap”) shall be the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for Damages resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.13 and with respect to the matters referred to in Sections 6.1(d), 6.1(e) and 6.1(g), and (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Additional Cap (based on each Indemnifying Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share) shall be the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for Damages resulting from a breach of any other representations and warranties contained in Article II above or a matter referred to in Section 6.1(b) (other than with respect to a breach of Section 4.3) or 6.1(f).

(b) In the case of a Tax Contest after the Closing Date that relates solely to Taxes for which the Buyer would be indemnified under this Article VI, the Stockholders’ Representative may, upon written notice to the Buyer, control the conduct of such Tax Contest, but the Buyer shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at the Buyer’s own expense, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be able to settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest without the consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that if the Stockholders’ Representative fails to, or elects not to, assume control of the conduct of such Tax Contest within a reasonable period following the receipt by the Stockholders’ Representative of written notice of such Tax Contest (pursuant to Section 6.3(a)), the Buyer shall have the right to assume control of such Tax Contest, but shall not be able to settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Contest without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) In the case of a Tax Contest after the Closing Date that relates both to Taxes for which the Buyer would be indemnified under this Article VI and Taxes for which the Buyer would not be indemnified under this Article VI, the Buyer shall control the conduct of

such Tax Contest, but the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at the Stockholders’ Representative’s own expense, and the Buyer shall not settle, compromise and/or concede the portion of such Tax Contest with respect to Taxes for which the Buyer would be indemnified under this Article VI without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
