9.3 Procedure for Indemnification Claims.
(a) Whenever any parties become aware that a claim (an “Underlying Claim”) has arisen entitling them to seek indemnification under this Section 9 of the Agreement, such parties (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall promptly send a notice (“Notice”) to the parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Parties”) of the right to indemnification (the “Indemnity Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties will relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability under this Agreement with respect to such Indemnity Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Parties results in material prejudice to the Indemnifying Parties of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Parties with respect to the Underlying Claim. Any Notice pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) shall set forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the basis for such Indemnity Claim and an estimate of the amount of damages arising therefrom.
8
(b) If an Indemnity Claim does not result from or arise in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties will have fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to issue a written response to the Indemnified Parties, indicating the Indemnifying Parties’ intention to either (i) contest the Indemnity Claim or (ii) accept the Indemnity Claim as valid. The Indemnifying Parties’ failure to provide such a written response within such fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the Indemnity Claim as valid. In the event that an Indemnity Claim is accepted as valid, the Indemnifying Parties shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter, pay the damages incurred by the Indemnified Parties in respect of the Underlying Claim in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Parties. To the extent appropriate, payments for indemnifiable damages made pursuant to Section 9 of the Agreement will be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.
(c) In the event an Indemnity Claim results from or arises in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties shall have fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to send a Notice to the Indemnified Parties of their election to, at their sole cost and expense, assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim or legal proceeding; provided that such Notice of election shall contain a confirmation by the Indemnifying Parties of their obligation to hold harmless the Indemnified Parties with respect to damages arising from such Underlying Claim. The failure by the Indemnifying Parties to elect to assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim within such fifteen (15) day period shall entitle the Indemnified Parties to undertake control of the defense of the Underlying Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties in such manner as the Indemnified Parties may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling the Underlying Claim. However, the parties controlling the defense of the Underlying Claim shall not settle or compromise such Underlying Claim without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The non-controlling parties shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with their own counsel and at their own expense.
(d) The Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties will cooperate reasonably, fully and in good faith with each other, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Parties, in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any Underlying Claim including, without limitation, by making available to the other parties all pertinent information and witnesses within their reasonable control.
10. Injunctive Relief.
10.1 Damages Inadequate. Each party acknowledges that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages to the other party if there is a failure to comply with any covenants and provisions of this Agreement, and agrees that in the event of any breach of any covenant or provision, the other party to this Agreement will not have an adequate remedy at law.
10.2 Injunctive Relief. It is therefore agreed that the other party to this Agreement who is entitled to the benefit of the covenants and provisions of this Agreement which have been breached, in addition to any other rights or remedies which they may have, will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to enforce such covenants and provisions, and that in the event that any such action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce them, the defaulting or breaching party will not urge a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
11. Waivers.
If any party at any time waives any rights hereunder resulting from any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, such waiver is not to be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this Agreement. Resort to any remedies referred to herein will not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies to which such party is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise.
9
12. Successors and Assigns.
Each covenant and representation of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties, their personal representatives, assigns and other successors in interest.
13. Entire and Sole Agreement.
This Agreement and its exhibits and schedules constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all other agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises and undertakings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written agreement signed by the parties against whom the amendment is sought to be enforced.
14. Governing Law.
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of California without giving effect to applicable conflict of laws provision. With respect to any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be brought in the County of Santa Barbara, California.
15. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts will be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts will constitute but one and the same instrument.
16. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.
In the event that either party must resort to legal action in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or to defend such action, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive reimbursement from the nonprevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs incurred in commencing or defending such action, or in enforcing this Agreement, including but not limited to post judgment costs.
17. Assignment.
This Agreement may not be assigned by any party without prior written consent of the other parties.
18. Remedies.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the remedies set forth in this Agreement are intended to be exclusive, and each party will have all other remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies will not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.
19. Section Headings.
The section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement and will not be used in construing it.
20. Severability.
In the event that any provision or any part of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision or part of this Agreement.
