The Sellers' Representative will consider in good faith any revisions to the calculations set forth in the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet proposed by the Purchaser and the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be modified accordingly to reflect any revisions agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Sellers' Representative. At the Closing, the Initial Cash Purchase Price shall be determined in part by (i) reducing it by the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital Threshold exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, or (ii) increasing it by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Net Working Capital Threshold. The reduction in and addition to the Initial Cash Purchase Price referred to in the preceding sentence are hereafter collectively referred to as the "Closing Reduction" and "Closing Addition," respectively.

(b) Final Closing Balance Sheet. No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deliver to the Sellers' Representative the final Closing Balance Sheet as of the Reference Time (the "Final Closing Balance Sheet") and the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital based upon the Final Closing Balance Sheet, as well as the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses and the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents.

(c) Review by Seller; Dispute Resolution.

(i) Following receipt of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, the Sellers' Representative will be afforded a period of thirty (30) days to review the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses and the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents. At or before the end of such thirty (30) day review period, the Sellers' Representative will either (A) accept the Final Closing Balance Sheet an in its entirety, in which case the Purchaser's calculations shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties, or (B) deliver to the Purchaser written notice and a written explanation of those items in the Final Closing Balance Sheet which the Sellers' Representative disputes and the proposed modification of such calculations, in which case only the items identified shall be deemed to be in dispute and the other items shall be deemed to be accepted; provided, however, that the only bases for objection with respect to the Final Net Working Capital calculation shall be (1) non-compliance with GAAP, the Company Accounting Principles, as applicable and (2) computational errors. The Sellers' Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Final Closing Balance Sheet in its entirety, and to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Final Closing Balance Sheet, and the Purchaser's calculations of the Final Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses and the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents if it fails to deliver such notice and explanation of any items it disputes at or before the end of such thirty (30) day review period. Within a further period of fifteen (15) days from the end of the aforementioned review period, the Purchaser and Sellers' Representative and their accountants will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items.

(ii) Failing such resolution, either Sellers' Representative or the Purchaser may refer the unresolved disputed items for final binding resolution to the Dispute Accountants to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the Final Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses and/or the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents. In making such calculations, the Dispute Accountants shall consider only those items or amounts in the Final Closing Balance Sheet or the calculations of the Final Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses and/or the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents as to which the Purchaser and Sellers' Representative have disagreed and shall be instructed that it may not resolve any amounts in dispute such that the resolution is greater than the greatest amount proposed by the parties or less than the least amount proposed by the parties. The Dispute Accountants shall deliver to the Purchaser and Sellers' Representative, within thirty (30) days of reference of the matter to the Dispute Accountants, a report setting forth its calculations, which shall be prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.7(b). The decision of such Dispute Accountants will be nonappealable and incontestable by the parties and will not be subject to collateral attack for any reason. The cost of such review and report shall be paid half by the Purchaser and half by Sellers' Representative.

(iii) In the event the Dispute Accountants refuse the engagement under this Section 2.7(c), the Purchaser and Sellers' Representative shall mutually agree on another nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants having no material relationship with the Purchaser or the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (the "Alternative Dispute Accountant") to resolve any disputes according to Section 2.7(c). If within thirty (30) days, the Purchaser and Sellers' Representative fail to mutually agree on an Alternative Dispute Accountant, the Purchaser and Sellers' Representative shall thereafter promptly cause the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Alternative Dispute Accountant, and in making its determination with respect to such appointment, the American Arbitration Association shall take into account, and attempt to avoid appointing an accounting firm with, any significant preexisting relationship with the parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates. The fees and expenses of the Alternative Dispute Accountant shall be apportioned in the same manner as described in Section 2.7(c)(ii).

(d) Adjustment after Closing. After the Closing, the Initial Seller Cash Payment shall be (i) (A) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, or (B) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, (ii) (A) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents exceeds the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents, or (B) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents exceeds the Estimated Cash and Cash Equivalents, (iii) (A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness exceeds the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Date Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, and (iv) (A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Transaction Expenses exceed the Final Transaction Expenses, or (B) reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Final Transaction Expenses exceed the Estimated Transaction Expenses. The aggregate net reduction in or addition to the Initial Seller Cash Payment calculated pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the "Post-Closing Reduction" (in the case of an aggregate net reduction to the Initial Seller Cash Payment) or as the "Post-Closing Addition" (in the case of an aggregate net addition to the Initial Seller Cash Payment).

(e) Adjustment Payment. After the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital, the Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses and the Final Cash and Cash Equivalents become final, conclusive and binding upon the parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7(c), then:

  • i. If any Post-Closing Addition is required then: (A) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Post-Closing Addition, Sellers' Representative and Purchaser shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Sellers' Representative, who shall proceed to distribute to the Seller Parties in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement of all Escrow Funds in the Price Adjustment Escrow Account; and (B) the Purchaser Parties will be jointly and severally liable to pay the Seller Parties (in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages) the amount of the Post-Closing Addition in immediately available funds by wire transfer made within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the amount of the Post-Closing Addition pursuant to Section 2.7(d).
  • ii. If any Post-Closing Reduction is required, then: (A) within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Post-Closing Reduction, Sellers' Representative and Purchaser shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to distribute to the Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement from the Price Adjustment Escrow Account an amount equal to the Post-Closing Reduction; and (B) to the extent sufficient funds are not available therein, the Seller Parties will pay to the Purchaser their Pro Rata Percentages the amount of such deficiency in immediately available funds by wire transfer made within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the amount of the Post-Closing Reduction pursuant to Section 2.7(d); provided, however, that if the amount of the Escrow Funds in the Price Adjustment Escrow Account exceeds the amount of the Post-Closing Reduction, then within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Post-Closing Reduction, Sellers' Representative and Purchaser shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to distribute such excess to the Seller Parties in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
  • iii. Seller Parties and Purchaser agree to treat any payment made pursuant to Section 2.7 as an adjustment to the Transaction Consideration for federal, state, local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

2.8 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Purchaser, its Affiliates and each member of Company Group shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or the Related Documents such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of applicable Law; provided, that (a) prior to making any such deduction or withholding, Purchaser shall give the Seller Parties written notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding, which notice shall include a summary description of the basis and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding, and (b) Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller Parties to obtain reduction of or relief from or to otherwise minimize any such deduction or withholding.

(a) The Seller Parties shall (at their sole expense) prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed any income Tax Returns that are required to be filed by any Group Company and ASH with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (each, a "Pre-Closing Income Tax Return"). Any such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of the applicable Group Company and ASH unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Seller Parties shall submit drafts of each such Pre-Closing Income Tax Return to Purchaser at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) thereof for Purchaser's review, comment and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Purchaser shall provide comments, if any, in writing to Seller Parties with respect to any such draft Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns within 25 days from the receipt thereof. The Seller Parties shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments timely provided by Purchaser and Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall, in good faith try to resolve any remaining disputed items within 10 days. If any disputes remain outstanding after such 10 days, Purchaser and the Seller Parties shall promptly refer such remaining disputes for resolution by an applicable Tax professional as the Alternative Dispute Accountant (the "Tax Arbitrator") and the provisions of Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis. The Seller Parties, as appropriate, shall timely pay all Taxes due on such Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1(a) to the applicable Governmental Authorities to the extent not taken into account as a Liability for Tax in Final Closing Balance Sheet, the Final Net Working Capital, or the Final Closing Date Indebtedness.

(b) The Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file or cause to be timely filed, all other Tax Returns of any Group Company and ASH (other than Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns) with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period that have an initial due date (taking into account any valid extensions) after the Closing Date ("Pre-Closing Other Tax Returns"). Any such Pre-Closing Other Tax Returns shall be prepared consistent with the past practices of the applicable Group Company or ASH unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Seller Parties shall provide comments, if any, in writing to the Purchaser with respect to any such draft Pre-Closing Other Tax Returns within 25 days from the receipt thereof. Purchaser shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments timely provided by Seller Parties and the parties shall, in good faith try to resolve any remaining disputed items within 10 days. If any disputes remain outstanding after such 10 days, the parties shall promptly refer such remaining disputes for resolution by a Tax Arbitrator and the provisions of Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis. To the extent not taken into account as a Liability for Tax in the Final Closing Balance Sheet, Final Net Working Capital or Final Closing Date Indebtedness, the Seller Parties, as appropriate, shall remit all Taxes due with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period reflected on such Pre-Closing Other Tax Returns (determined in the case of any Straddle Period in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.5) to the Purchaser no later than 5 days following the final determination of such amounts in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1(b).

11.2 Prohibited Actions. Except in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1(b), without the prior written consent of the Seller Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, Purchaser shall not and shall not cause or permit any Affiliate of Purchaser including a Group Company or ASH, as applicable: (i) to modify the "partnership representative" of the Company or AEP for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) to file, refile, supplement, or amend any Tax Return of a Group Company or ASH covering any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, or (iii) to file any voluntary disclosure agreement, to participate in any arrangement similar to a voluntary disclosure agreement, or to voluntarily approach any Tax Authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of a Group Company or ASH, in each case, for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date; or (iv) to take any action relating to Taxes that is outside the ordinary course of business that could create a Tax Liability for a Group Company, ASH, or the Seller Parties for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date for which such Seller Parties would be liable under this Agreement.

11.3 Tax Contests. After the Closing Date, the Sellers' Representative shall have the right to control, at the sole expense of Seller Parties, any Tax audits, Tax disputes or administrative, judicial or other proceedings related to any Taxes (each, a "Tax Contest") that relate solely to any Taxes of any Group Company or ASH relating solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which the Sellers or ASH Equityholders would be liable under this Agreement, to employ counsel and other advisors of their choice at their expense and to control the conduct of such Tax Contest, including settlement or other disposition thereof; provided, however, that (i) Sellers' Representative shall notify the Purchaser as to any such Tax Contest and shall keep Purchaser timely and fully informed (including by timely delivering copies of any written communications with any Governmental Authorities to Purchaser), (ii) Purchaser shall have the right to participate in (but not control) any such Tax Contest, (iii) Sellers' Representative shall manage the conduct of such Tax Contest in good faith and reasonable diligence, (iv) with respect to the Company or AEP, Sellers' Representative shall take such actions and execute such instruments as necessary (including, but not limited, to the making of, to the extent applicable, a "push out" election under Code Section 6226 or any similar or analogous election under state or local applicable Law) to ensure, to the extent provided under applicable Law, that any resulting Taxes or other Liability with respect to such Tax Contest for a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall not be imposed on the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof (including after the Closing, any Group Company), (v) the Sellers' Representative shall not settle or otherwise dispose of such Tax Contest without Purchaser's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any Tax Contest that relates to Taxes of a Group Company or ASH for which the Sellers or ASH Equityholders would be liable under this Agreement (but that the Sellers or ASH Equityholders are not entitled to control pursuant to this Section 11.3) shall be controlled by Purchaser, provided, however, that (i) the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers' Representative as to any such Tax Contest and shall keep them timely and fully informed (including by timely delivering copies of any written communications with any Governmental Authorities), (ii) the Sellers' Representative shall have the right to participate in (but not control) any such Tax Contest for which the Sellers or ASH Equityholders would be liable under this Agreement at their own expense, (iii) Purchaser shall manage the conduct of such Tax Contest in good faith and reasonable diligence and (iv) Purchaser shall not settle or otherwise dispose of any such Tax Contest without the Sellers' Representative's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

11.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Following the Closing, the Purchaser, Sellers, ASH Equityholders and the Sellers' Representative shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns, the filing of Tax refund claims, and the conduct of any Tax Contests, each as related to any Group Company or ASH, and shall use reasonable efforts to preserve all information, returns, books, records and documents relating to any liabilities for Taxes with respect to any taxable period until the later of the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation and extensions thereof or the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any record during such period without first providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and copy the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Article 11 shall be read to require Purchaser to share copies of Tax Returns that include information of any Person other than a Group Company.

11.5 Allocation for Straddle Period. For purposes of this Agreement, the amount of Taxes of the Group Companies and ASH attributable to the pre-Closing portion of a Straddle Period shall be determined (i) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis including real and personal property Taxes (which are not income Taxes) by reference to the relative number of days in the pre-Closing and post-Closing portions of such Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, based upon a deemed closing of the taxable year at the end of the Closing Date, with the Closing Date being included in the pre-Closing portion of such Straddle Period, provided, however, that all exemptions, allowances, or deductions for the entire Straddle Period which are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the two short periods in proportion to the number of days in each period.

11.6 Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree to file their Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the following intended treatment for federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes. No party hereto shall take a position that is inconsistent with such treatment for federal or applicable state or local income Tax purposes unless required by an applicable Governmental Authority or due to a change in applicable Laws after the date of this Agreement:

(a) Treat the Merger as a reorganization described in Code Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(D) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

(b) Treat the payment of Transaction Consideration to the Sellers as a taxable sale and exchange of partnership interests issued by Altitude Energy Holdco LLC pursuant to Code Section 1001. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Rev. Rul. 99-6 applies, Purchaser may be viewed as purchasing partnership interests in Altitude Energy Partners, LLC; therefore, the Sellers and ASH Equitytholders shall cooperate with Purchaser to ensure that a Code Section 754 election is in effect for both Altitude Energy Holdco LLC and Altitude Energy Partners LLC with respect to the tax year 2022. Altitude Energy Holdco LLC may have a short period tax year ending on the Closing Date, and any such Code Section 754 election shall be made with respect to that short period tax return.

(c) Treat the deposit of the nonvested Liability Satisfaction Shares in such a manner which would not give rise to a taxable event for the beneficiaries under Code Section 83 until the shares vest.

11.7 Tax Refunds and Carrybacks.

(a) Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to remit to the Seller Parties, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage, within 15 days after receipt (or realization by way of a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable) by Purchaser or the Group Companies (or an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or other Tax group of which any of them is a member), the portion of all refunds or credits of Taxes that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Group Companies (or otherwise would be the responsibility of the Sellers under this Agreement), except to the extent such refund or credit was previously taken into account in the Final Closing Balance Sheet, Final Net Working Capital or Final Closing Date Indebtedness.

(b) Purchaser shall, and shall cause ASH with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, to remit to the ASH Equityholders, in accordance with their respective percentage stock ownership in ASH, within 15 days after receipt (or realization by way of a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable) by Purchaser (or an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or other Tax group of which Purchaser is a member), the portion of all refunds or credits of Taxes that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of ASH (or otherwise would be the responsibility of the ASH Equityholders under this Agreement), except to the extent such refund or credit was previously taken into account in the Final Closing Balance Sheet, Final Net Working Capital or Final Closing Date Indebtedness.

(c) Upon the written request of the Sellers' Representative, the Purchaser, the Group Companies and their Affiliates (and any affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or other Tax group of which any of the Group Companies is a member) shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller Parties in connection with any claims for refund of Taxes to which the Seller Parties are entitled pursuant to this Section 11.7(c) or any other provision of this Agreement.

(d) To the extent that the amount of Taxes included in the Final Closing Balance Sheet, Final Net Working Capital or Final Closing Date Indebtedness exceeds the amount of Taxes actually paid to the Governmental Authority with respect to such item, the excess shall be treated as a refund of Taxes giving rise to a payment under this Section 11.7.

11.8 Purchase Price Allocation. Sellers' share of the Transaction Consideration as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, plus all liabilities that are treated as amounts realized for income Tax purposes, shall be allocated for federal income Tax purposes (and any similar provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law, as appropriate), using the methodology set forth on Exhibit 11.8 hereof. Purchaser and the Sellers shall file all Tax Returns and make all computations under Sections 741, 751, 755 and 1060 of the Code consistent with such allocation. None of the Sellers or Purchaser shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law or any Governmental Authority.

11.9 Transaction Deductions. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, all income Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be calculated on the basis that deductions for the full amount of all Transaction Expenses are treated as reducing income Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

11.10 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Seller Parties and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to Article 12 as an adjustment to the Transaction Consideration for federal, state, local and non-U.S. income Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

11.11 Section 7874 Matters. Neither Cathedral nor its subsidiaries, including the Purchaser, has taken or agreed to take any action or knows of any fact, agreement, plan or other circumstance that is reasonably likely to (i) cause Cathedral to be treated as a "domestic corporation" pursuant to Section 7874(b) of the Code as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) cause the Company or ASH to be treated as an "expatriated entity" within the meaning of Section 7874(a)(2) of the Code as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Person of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Person forfeits rights or defenses or is otherwise actually materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Person 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 Person. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Person, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Person's expense and by the Indemnifying Person's own counsel, and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Person shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim (i) that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person; (ii) that seeks an amount of damages that is either in excess of such Indemnifying Person's maximum indemnification obligation for such Third Party Claim or seeks an unspecified sum of damages that reasonably could exceed or such Indemnifying Person's maximum indemnification obligation for such Third Party Claim; (iii) where the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that a material actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim; or (iv) that relates to or otherwise arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action, other than a regulatory Action that by its terms is limited solely to the pursuit of monetary relief and could not result in any disbarment, loss of qualification, change in business operations or other non-monetary impact on the business of the Purchaser Parties or the Group Companies. In the event that the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 12.3b), 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 Person. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Person's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person; provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Person, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person. If the Indemnifying Person elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Person 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 Person may, subject to Section 12.3(b), pay, compromise, or defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Person shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, except as provided in this Section 12.3(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to the creation of a non-financial obligation on the part of the Indemnified Person and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Person shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Person. If the Indemnified Person fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Person may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Person as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Person fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Person has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 12.3(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Claim by an Indemnified Person on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Person giving the Indemnifying Person reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 45 days after the Indemnified Person becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Person of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Person forfeits rights or defenses or is otherwise actually materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Person 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 Person. The Indemnifying Person shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Person shall allow the Indemnifying Person 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 Person shall assist the Indemnifying Person'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 Person or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Person does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Person shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Person shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Person on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Subject to the provisions of this Article 12, each Indemnifying Person will pay any required indemnification amount claimed by the Indemnified Person hereunder in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Person provides the Indemnifying Person with written notice of any Indemnity Claim hereunder in accordance with this Agreement unless the Indemnifying Person in good faith disputes such Indemnity Claim. If the Indemnifying Person disputes such Indemnity Claim in good faith, then promptly after the resolution of such dispute, the amount finally determined to be due will be paid by the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person in immediately available funds within fifteen (15) days of such dispute resolution. In the event the Indemnifying Person fails to pay the Indemnified Person the amount of such Indemnity Claim within such fifteen (15) day period the Indemnifying Person will pay the Indemnified Person interest on the amount of such Indemnity Claim at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum until the Indemnity Claim is paid in full.

12.4 Survival. All covenants in this Agreement will survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect until the date on which such covenant has been performed in full or waived in writing by the Person with the authority to waive such covenant. For purposes of the Seller Parties' indemnification obligations to the Purchase Indemnified Persons (and not for purposes of the R&W Insurance Policy), all of the representations and warranties made by the Company or the Seller Parties, on the one hand, and the Purchaser Parties, on the other hand, in each case, contained in this Agreement will survive as follows: (i) all of the Non-Fundamental Representations will survive the Closing hereunder for a period of 18 months after the Closing Date; and (ii) all other representations and warranties made by the Company or the Seller Parties, on the one hand, and the Purchaser Parties, on the other hand, will survive for a period of five (5) years after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

  • (c) If Cathedral has determined that the cumulative Adjusted EBITDAs over the EBITDA Period is at least USD $150 million, then the Escrowed Securities Release Date for any remaining Escrow Securities held in escrow shall no longer be applicable, and any such remaining Escrow Securities shall be released from escrow to the Sellers' Representative within ten (10) Business Days of Cathedral making such determination (an "Early Release Event");

  • (e) In the event that at any time during the EBITDA Period, the Acquired Business effects any merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other similar major transaction, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such transaction(s), the revenues and expenses relating to the operations of the Acquired Business' assets and properties existing as of the Effective Date are accurately tracked by the Acquired Business and/or Purchaser during the EBITDA Period for the purposes of calculating the Adjusted EBITDAs in accordance with this Agreement.
