If a Party breaches any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 3, and provided that the other party makes a written claim for indemnification against the breaching party pursuant to the notice requirements in §10(d) below before the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations, then the breaching party shall indemnify the non-breaching party from and against the entirety of any losses that the non-breaching party may suffer that were proximately caused by the breach. In addition, Parent and Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify Buyer or Target from and against any and all Taxes imposed on Target or with respect to the assets, income, business or activities of Target with respect to any taxable period or any portion of a taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date. In the case of a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date, the portion of Taxes allocable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined (i) based on a closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date in the case of all Taxes other than property Taxes, and (ii) in the case of property Taxes, based on the product obtained by multiplying such property Taxes for such entire period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such period through and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes attributable to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be allocated to the taxable period or portion of a taxable period ending on the Closing Date and shall be the liability and obligation of Seller and Parent.
(c) Matters Involving Third Parties. If any third party notifies any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing. Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party 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 Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by one or more of the Indemnifying Parties and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party. Unless and until an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, as provided in §8(c)(ii) above, however, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may
11
reasonably deem appropriate. In no event will the Indemnified Party consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
(d) Exclusive Remedy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Section 8 shall be the exclusive remedy of Buyer, Seller and Parent from and after the Closing Date with respect to Target and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have any remedy after Closing for any breach of the representations and warranties in Section 4 above.
Section 9 Termination
(a) Termination of Agreement. Certain of the Parties may terminate this Agreement as provided below:
(i) Buyer and Seller may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;
(ii) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller and Parent at any time prior to the Closing (A) in the event any Seller or Parent has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Buyer has notified Seller and Parent of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of ten (10) after the notice of breach or (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before March 2, 2007, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under §7(a) hereof (unless the failure results primarily from Buyer itself breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement); and
(iii) Seller or Parent may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Buyer at any time prior to the Closing (A) in the event Buyer has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Seller or Parent has notified Buyer of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of ten (10) days after the notice of breach or (B) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before March 2, 2007, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under §7(b) hereof (unless the failure results primarily from the Seller or Parent breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement).
