Section 6. REMEDIES


 

6.1 General Indemnification Obligation. The Assignor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Assignee and its officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, fines, judgments, awards, settlements, taxes, costs, fees, expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and disbursements (collectively, the “Losses”) actually sustained by any of such Persons based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of (a) any inaccuracies in or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Assignor contained in this Agreement (including any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto) and (b) any of its retained liabilities (those liabilities not assigned). The Assignee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Assignor and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any and all Losses actually sustained by any of such Persons resulting from (a) any inaccuracies in or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Assignee contained in this Agreement (including any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto) and (b) any of its assumed liabilities (the liabilities assigned herein).

6.2 Notice of Asserted Liability. As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Assignor, on the one hand, or the Assignee, on the other hand, becomes aware of any claim that it or they has or have under Section 6.1 hereof that may result in a Loss (a “Liability Claim”), such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”) to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”). A Claims Notice shall describe the Liability Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies which the Indemnified Party has under this Agreement, or alter or relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party to the extent that such delay or failure has not materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

6.3 Opportunity to Defend. The Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claims Notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement or assertion of any Liability Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, to assume and conduct the defense of such Liability Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) the defense of such Liability Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, to satisfy the amount of any adverse monetary judgment that is reasonably likely to result; and (iii) the Liability Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Liability Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement (the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) are collectively referred to as the “Litigation Conditions”). If the Indemnifying


Party docs not assume the defense of a Liability Claim in accordance with this Section 6.3, the Indemnified Party may continue to defend the Liability Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Liability Claim as provided in this Section 6.3, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) any of the Litigation Conditions cease to be met or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Liability Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, has the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Liability Claim that the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Liability Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not, without the prior, written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Liability Claim which (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a complete release from all liability in respect of such Liability Claim, or (ii) grants any injunctive or equitable relief or (iii) may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the affected business of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any Liability Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.4 Survivability of Representations and Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties of the Assignor and the Assignee combined in this Agreement will survive for a period ending twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Date. All covenants and agreements contained herein shall survive the Effective Date in accordance with their terms. The maximum aggregate obligation of the Assignor to Assignee pursuant to Section 6.1 on account of any breach of any representation or warranty (excluding the Excluded Representations) made by the Assignor in this Agreement shall not exceed $ 93,923,588, provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply with respect to fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

Section 7. GENERAL

7.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto, together with their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

7.2 Governing Laws. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA AS THEY PERTAIN TO AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN, AND FULLY PERFORMED WITHIN, ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA.

7.3 Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not modify, define, or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.
