Limitations of Liability and Indemnification 5.1 No Personal Liability of Shareholders, Trustees, etc......................................11 5.2
Limitations on Indemnification Obligations The rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b) are subject to the following provisions:
(a) None of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for any particular Loss pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) unless such Loss equals or exceeds $10,000 (and no such Loss less than $10,000 shall be applied against the Deductible).
(b) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) until the total amount which the Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i), as applicable, in the aggregate (as limited by the other provisions hereof), but for this Section 7.4(b), exceeds $1,192,500 (the “Deductible”), in which case the applicable Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein.
(c) Except, in each case, in the case of Fraud, (i) the maximum liability of Seller to the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any Losses of the Purchaser Indemnitees indemnifiable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $1,192,500 and (ii) the maximum liability of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VII shall not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price.
(d) The amount of any and all Losses indemnifiable hereunder shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers, under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or from other collateral sources, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(d), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter.
(e) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, to the extent available and subject to applicable retention and other coverage limitations thereunder, for any Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) prior to seeking indemnification from Seller under this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 7.4(e) shall limit the Purchaser Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) to the extent that recovery is not available under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy for any reason with respect to all or any portion of such Losses. The amount of any and all indemnifiable Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(e), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to repay to Seller any amounts recovered under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy to the extent such repayment would, after taking into account the deductible and other limitations under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, have the effect of reducing the amount of indemnifiable Losses actually recovered by Purchaser with respect to such claim below the amount of indemnified Losses to which Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to recover from Seller pursuant to this Article VII, but for this Section 7.4(e). Purchaser covenants and agrees that the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy will expressly exclude any right of subrogation against the Seller Group (other than with respect to Fraud).
(f) The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for a Loss only once under Article VII even if a claim or claims for indemnification in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.
(g) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Loss to the extent such Loss was included in or otherwise expressly taken into account in the determination of the Aggregate Purchase Price.
(h) The rights to indemnification of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto (including by any of such party’s advisors or representatives) or by reason of the fact that such party or any of such advisors or representatives knew or should have known that any representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.
(i) For purposes of determining the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article III or the Seller set forth in Article IV and in calculating the amount of any Losses attributable thereto, any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or similar qualifications in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) the use of the term “Material Contract” in any representation or warranty or (ii) any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.6(a).
(j) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover under this Article VII for any breach of any representations and warranties regarding Losses for Taxes with respect to taxable periods, or portions thereof, that end on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent such Losses arise from or are attributable to a breach of the representations or warranties contained in Sections 3.15(e), 3.15(k) or 3.15(l).
Exculpation and Indemnification (a) No Member, Manager, Officer, employee or agent of the Company and no affiliate, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of the Member (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other person or entity who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall have no personal liability on account thereof.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section.
(d) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by the person or entity as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other person or entity’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid.
(e) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.
(f) The foregoing provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Representations and Indemnities to Survive The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
Indemnification and Remedies 10.1. The Shareholders and the holders of Vested Options (“Indemnifying Parties”) agree severally and not jointly to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold the Purchaser, the Company and their Affiliates, together with the directors, employees and advisors of the foregoing (the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless against and in respect of any and all loss, liability, deficiency, damage, decrease in value (excluding reduction in Tax losses or loss of NOLs), any damages paid to third parties, cost, expense, fines, interest or actions in respect thereof (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) but excluding consequential (except that a claim by a third party shall not be deemed consequential), incidental, multiple of revenue or earnings (but not including loss of value), loss of profits, punitive or exemplary damages (all of the foregoing, “Damages”), as and when incurred, occasioned by: (i) any non-fulfillment, non-performance, violation or breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by the Company; or (ii) any inaccuracy, breach or falsity of any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 5 above or any certificate or other instrument furnished or to be furnished by the Company hereunder; (iii) any Claim by a third party (regardless of whether the claimant is ultimately successful) which, if true, would constitute any of the above; and (iv) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule, any Pre-Closing Taxes and (disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule) any breach or falsity contained in Sections 5.7, 6.8, 8.2.19, 8.11 or 8.12, any Tax liability of the Company in connection with any payment made or deemed made by the Company at or prior to the Closing in connection with the Transaction or any Tax liability in connection with any payment pursuant to this Agreement made without sufficient withholding under applicable law provided however, that the Shareholders shall not be jointly liable for a Claim in connection to Tax withholding against a breaching Shareholder for submission of incorrect or false information (in which case, such breaching Shareholder shall be severally liable as set forth in Section 10.2); (v) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), any Transaction Costs, (vi) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), any liability pursuant to indemnification undertakings granted by the Company to directors and/or officers thereof in connection with the period prior to the Closing Date; (vii) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), the matters set out in Schedule 10.1 attached hereto; (viii) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), any Claim by a Shareholder, or former shareholder (or holder of Company Options, including indemnity for Damages of such holder in respect of the rate of taxes paid by such holder in excess of the 102 benefit (25% plus excess tax, if applicable) in cases where the ITA disqualifies the grant under a trustee capital gains route, or any other equity securities) of the Company, or any other Person, seeking to assert, or based upon: (a) ownership or rights to ownership of any shares or other equity securities of the Company; (b) any rights of a Shareholder or other equity holder (other than the rights of the Shareholders to receive the payments set out in this Agreement, as and to the extent set forth herein), including any option, preemptive rights or rights to notice or to vote; (c) any Claim that his, her or its shares or other equity securities of the Company were wrongfully repurchased, cancelled, terminated or transferred by the Company or any Person; or (d) any Claim regarding any errors or failures in the allocation or calculation of the applicable Purchase Price payable to such Person or its pro rata share of the Escrow Amount, as set forth in the Waterfall (items (iv) to (viii), together the “Special Indemnities”).
10.2. In addition, each Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold the Indemnified Parties, harmless against and in respect of any Damages, as and when incurred, occasioned by: (i) any non-fulfillment, non-performance, violation or breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Shareholder; or (ii) any inaccuracy, breach or falsity of any of the representations and warranties of such Shareholder contained in Section 6 above or any certificate or other instrument furnished or to be furnished by such Shareholder hereunder; and (iii) any Claim by a third party (regardless of whether the claimant is ultimately successful) which, if true, would constitute the above.
10.3. Promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after (i) receipt by the Purchaser (or any of its directors, employees or advisors) of notice of the commencement of any Claim, proceeding, or investigation (“Third Party Claim”); or (ii) the Purchaser (or any of its directors, employees or advisors) becoming aware of any breach of this Agreement or falsity of representation or other event or circumstance, in each case, in respect of which indemnity may be sought as provided above, shall notify the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Party of the Claim, proceeding or investigation and, when known, the facts constituting the basis of such Claim, proceeding or investigation, in reasonable detail, provided that any failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period will not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any obligation or liability, except and only to the extent that the Shareholder Representative demonstrates that the Indemnifying Parties have been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period. In the event of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any Third Party Claim, the notice to the Shareholder Representative shall specify, if known, the amount of damages asserted by such third party. In the event of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom (a “Third Party Defense”). Upon the Purchaser’s assumption of the Third Party Defense (i) the Purchaser shall inform the Shareholder Representative of such Third Party Defense (as set forth herein); (ii) the Shareholder Representative may retain separate counsel, at the expense of the Shareholders; (iii) the Purchaser will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) the Purchaser shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently in consultation with the Shareholder Representative and provide copies of all correspondence and related documentation in connection with the Third Party Defense to the Indemnifying Party; and (v) the Indemnifying Party will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense to protect the interests of the Indemnified Party. If the Purchaser elects not to assume the Third Party Defense it shall notify the Shareholder Representative of its decision not to assume such defense, and the Shareholder Representative shall have the right to assume the Third Party Defense with counsel of its choice at the expense of the applicable Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in such Third Party Defense but the Shareholder Representative shall control the investigation and defense thereof in consultation with the Purchaser; provided, however, that any settlement or compromise by the Shareholder Representative shall be subject to the consent of the Purchaser not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Shareholder Representative shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently, and the Purchaser will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense. The Parties will in any event co-operate with each other in dealing with any Claim other than in the event of a conflict of interest, and, other than in the event of a conflict of interest, will allow their respective representatives and advisers reasonable access to all books and records which might be useful for such purpose during normal business hours and at the place where they are normally kept, with full right to make copies thereof or take extracts therefrom. Such books and records shall be subject to a duty of confidentiality except for disclosure necessary for resolving such Claim or otherwise required by applicable law. The Indemnifying Party shall not be authorized to settle or compromise any Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
10.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 10.3), following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will have the right, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, to conduct and control, through counsel of the Purchaser’s choosing, the defense of any Tax Contest; provided, however, that to the extent that any Tax Contest could reasonably give rise to an indemnification claim by the Purchaser under this Section 10, the Purchaser will (i) provide notice of such Tax Contest to the Shareholder Representative within thirty (30) days after receiving the first written notice of the commencement of such Tax Contest or from the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that any failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period will not relieve the Shareholders of any obligation or liability, except to the extent that the Shareholders have been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period, (ii) provide to the Shareholder Representative all information reasonably requested by the Shareholder Representative regarding such Tax Contest, (iii) permit the Shareholder Representative to evaluate and comment on such Tax Contest, and (iv) reasonably and in good faith consider any such comments of the Shareholder Representative. The Purchaser may settle, adjust, or compromise any Tax Contest, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, without the consent of the Shareholder Representative. However, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative – which consent (i) will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned and (ii) will be deemed to have been given unless the Shareholder Representative objects in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request for such consent from the Purchaser – no settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any Tax Contest will be determinative of the existence of a claim for indemnification under this Section 10 or the amount of indemnifiable amounts relating to such claim. In the event that the Shareholder Representative consents in writing to (or is deemed to have consented to) any settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any Tax Contest, neither the Shareholder Representative nor any Shareholder will have any power or authority to object under any provision of this Section 10 to the amount of any claim by the Purchaser for indemnification under this Section 10 with respect to such settlement, adjustment, or compromise.
10.5. Other than with respect to a specific Shareholder for such Shareholder’s Shareholder Fraud Event, the remedies provided in this Section 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser, or any of their Affiliates for any Claims or Damages resulting from the Transaction, except that each Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enjoin the breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Agreement and the specific performance by the other of its obligations hereunder.
10.6. The representation and warranties of the Company and the Shareholders (read together with the disclosure schedules) and the rights of the Purchaser (and its directors, employees and advisors) to indemnification under this Section 10 shall not be affected by any examination made for or on behalf of the Purchaser or the knowledge of any of the Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees or agents. It is understood and agreed that if the Company suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation (read together with the disclosure schedules) herein, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Purchaser as an Indemnified Party but without double counting and without providing for diminution in value) the Purchaser shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the shares of the Company, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.
