The Company also agrees to indemnify and hold each Commitment Party harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to any such person in connection with or as a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in the Letters (whether or not such investigation, litigation, claim or proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders or creditors or an indemnified party and whether or not any such indemnified party is otherwise a party thereto), except to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability (x) has been found by a final,non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Commitment Party in performing the services that are the subject of the Letters or (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Commitment Party under the Letters or (y) has resulted from a dispute solely among the Commitment Parties that does not involve an act or omission by the Company or any of its affiliates and is not brought against such Commitment Party in its capacity as an agent or arranger or similar role under the Amendment or any Facility. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Commitment Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Commitment Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of (i) the Company and its affiliates, shareholders, partners, members or other equity holders on the one hand and (ii) such Commitment Party on the other hand in the matters contemplated by the Letters as well as the relative fault of (i) the Company and its affiliates, shareholders, partners, members or other equity holders and (ii) such Commitment Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company under this paragraph will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, will extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliate of a Commitment Party and the partners, members, directors, agents, officers, employees, advisors and other representatives and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of such Commitment Party and any such affiliate (collectively with the Commitment Party, an “indemnified party”), and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, each Commitment Party, any such indemnified party.
