The Hexion Entity shall be obligated to indemnify the Apollo Entity and its directors, officers, employees, and agents only to the extent that the Apollo Entity is unable to obtain indemnification from its insurers for the liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), and disbursements incurred in connection therewith.
