The Parties further agree that if any portion of this Section 6.2 is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, territory, or other provisions are deemed to be invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable terms will be replaced by terms that are valid and enforceable and that come closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable terms, and any court of competent jurisdiction shall enforce this Section 6.2 as so modified to the maximum extent allowed by Law.

Article 7

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

7.1 Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents, against and in respect of any and all Losses, resulting or arising from or otherwise relating to:

(a) any breach by Seller of any covenant, representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements; and

(b) any Excluded Liabilities.

7.2 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents, against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting or arising from or otherwise relating to:

(a) any breach by Buyer of any covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements;

(b) Any Assumed Liabilities;

(d) any negligent or intentional act committed by Buyer or its employees or agents that caused injury to a person or damage to property, or failed to comply with any applicable law, statute, regulation or ordinance.

7.3 Method of Asserting Claims.

(a) All claims for indemnification (“Indemnity Claims”) by any indemnified Party or a Party with respect to any other claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements (the “Indemnified Party”) hereunder shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 7.3. In the event that any written claim or demand for which a Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) would be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a Third Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than ten (10) days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (the “Claim Notice”). All indemnity claims by any Indemnified Party that do not involve Third Party claims shall be communicated via a Claim Notice to the other Party promptly following discovery of such claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days from the delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. An election to assume the defense of such claim or demand shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Indemnifying Party is liable to the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim or demand. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the amount of such expenses shall be a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 8. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the claim within such fifteen (15)-day period, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be deemed Losses hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 8.

(c) In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any Third Party claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and court costs) actually incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense.

(d) The Indemnified Party shall not settle a claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party may settle any claim or demand for monetary damages; it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would substantially restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof.

(e) To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall control or participate in the defense or settlement of any Third Party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party.

(f) The controlling party, in either case, shall select counsel, contractors, experts and consultants of recognized standing and competence, shall take reasonable steps necessary in the investigation, defense or settlement thereof, and shall diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof.

(g) Any notice of a claim by reason of any of the warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall state specifically the warranty or covenant with respect to which the claim is made, the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the claim, and the amount of the liability asserted against the Indemnifying Party by reason of the claim.

7.4 Survival. The covenants and agreements of the Parties shall survive without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue for the applicable statute of limitations.

7.5 DAMAGES LIMITATION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, NO PARTY, DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, AFFILIATE OR ADVISOR OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, SHALL, IN ANY EVENT, BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PERSON, EITHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST OPPORTUNITIES OF SUCH OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, DIMINUTION OF VALUE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION) RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ADVANCE OR COULD HAVE BEEN REASONABLY FORESEEN BY SUCH OTHER PARTY.

7.6 Limitation of Liability of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for Losses directly or indirectly related to, incurred in connection with or as a result of fraud, intentional misconduct or willful breach, the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered cumulatively from Seller arising out of or resulting from the indemnity obligations set forth in Section 7.1(a) shall be an amount equal to [***].

7.7 Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to indemnify another Party hereunder, including by making Commercially Reasonably Efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability.

7.8 Manufacturing. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer with respect to transitioning manufacturing services to Buyer. In case of a third party manufacturer, the Seller will reasonable support such third party manufacturer with respect to the transitioning manufacturing services.
