(collectively the "Purchasers") and hold them harmless from and against any and
all liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including without
limitation reasonable legal and expert witnesses' fees and expenses) incurred by
the Purchasers, directly or indirectly, to the extent that such liabilities,

arise out of:
7.1.1 Any breach of any of the representations or warranties or failure to
perform any of the covenants made by the Sellers in this Agreement, or any
certificate, exhibit, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this

7.3 INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS. If either party hereto (the "Claimant") wishes to
----------------------------
assert an indemnification claim against the other party hereto, the Claimant
shall deliver to the other party a written notice setting forth:
a) the specific representation and warranty alleged to have been breached by
such other party;
b) a detailed description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the
alleged breach of such representation and warranty; and
c) a detailed description of, and a reasonable estimate of the total amount
of, the Damages actually incurred or expected to be incurred by the
Claimant as a direct result of such alleged breach.
7.4 DEFENSE OF THIRD PARTY ACTIONS. If either party hereto (the "Indemnified
--------------------------------------
Party") receives notice or otherwise obtains knowledge of the commencement or
threat of any claim, demand, dispute, action, suit, examination, audit,
proceeding, investigation, inquiry or other similar matter that may give rise to
an indemnification claim against the other party hereto (the "Indemnifying
Party"), then the Indemnitee shall promptly deliver to the Indemnified Party a
written notice describing such complaint or the commencement of such action or
proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying
Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Agreement
with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to
notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying
Party of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with
respect to such claim or the opportunity to defend or participate in the defense
of said claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice
delivered to the Indemnified Party within 20 days thereafter to assume the
defense of such action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and
disbursements of such counsel. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying
Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the action or proceeding or to
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case
within such 20 day period, then such Indemnified Party may employ counsel,
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, to represent or defend it in
20
any such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred; provided,
however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the fees and
disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any
jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. In any action or proceeding
with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified
Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such
action, shall have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its
own counsel at such party's own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use all commercially
reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as
the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any action,
the defense of which they are maintaining, and to cooperate in good faith with
each other with respect to the defense of any such action. No Indemnified Party
may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim or assertion, unless
the Indemnified Party consents in writing to such settlement, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.5 EXPIRATION OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All of the representations and
------------------------------------------------
warranties set forth in this Agreement shall terminate and expire, and shall
cease to be of any force or effect on the first anniversary of the Closing Date,
and all liability of KWI and VMCI with respect to such representations and
warranties shall thereupon be extinguished; provided, however, that if, prior to
such first anniversary, Claimant delivers a written notice to the other party
hereto, then the specific indemnification claim set forth in such notice shall
survive such first anniversary (and shall not be extinguished thereby) until the
settlement of such specific claim.
7.6 THRESHOLD. Neither the Sellers nor the Purchasers shall be required to make
--------------
any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2, respectively, until
such time as the total amount of all Damages that have been directly or
indirectly suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party, or to which an
Indemnified Party has or otherwise becomes subject to, exceeds $50,000 in the
aggregate. At such time as the total amount of such Damages exceeds $50,000 in
the aggregate, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified against
21
the full amount of such Damages (and not merely the portion of such Damages
exceeding $50,000).
8. POST-CLOSING COVENANTS.
