1.
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Loss, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnitors under this Agreement, deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof with its own counsel; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, if in the reasonable opinion of the particular Indemnitee, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by counsel chosen by the Indemnitee in such proceeding. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnitor and shall furnish to the Indemnitor all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim. The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.

Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable
19
time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
2.
The indemnification required by this Agreement shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the defense against any of the Losses, reasonably promptly upon the receipt by such Indemnitee of written bills (with such appropriate supporting information as is reasonably requested by the Indemnitor that a Loss has been incurred and the amount thereof (together with such appropriate supporting information as is reasonably requested by the Indemnitor); provided that the Indemnitee, as applicable, shall reimburse all such payments to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Investor. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
6.5
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing:
(a)
by written agreement of the Investor and the Company; and
(b)
by the Company or the Investor upon written notice to the other, if the Closing shall not have taken place by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time on the Outside Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.5(b) shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time.
In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 6.5, the Company shall promptly notify the Three Controlling Shareholders and Xx. Xxxxxxx. Upon a termination in accordance with this Section 6.5, the Company and the terminating Investor(s) shall not have any further obligation or liability (including as arising from such termination) to the other and no Investor will have any liability to any other Investor under this Agreement as a result therefrom.
6.6
Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
6.7
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Prior to Closing, the Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor. The Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom the Investor assigns or transfers any Shares, provided such assignee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Investor.”
6.8
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit
25
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.2 (as to the Indemnitee).
6.9
Governing Law. This Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall be governed by and construed solely and exclusively in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. The Parties executing this Agreement hereby expressly and irrevocably agree that any suit or proceeding arising directly and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this Agreement shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the City, County and State of New York. By its execution hereof, the Parties executing this Agreement covenant and irrevocably submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City, County and State of New York and agree that any process in any such action may be served upon any of them personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon them or their agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect as if personally served upon them in New York, New York. The Parties executing this Agreement expressly and irrevocably waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for any such suit or proceeding and/or any defense or lack of in personam jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from the other parties hereto jointly and severally of all of its reasonable counsel fees and disbursements (except the Investor shall have no payment or other obligation to any other Party involving a dispute between such other Parties signatory hereto including the Company).
6.10
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
6.11
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.12
Replacement of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
26
6.13
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Investor and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement against any other parties Signatory hereto. The Parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.14
Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of the Investor arising directly or indirectly hereunder, of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Investor, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other Affiliate of the Investor or the Investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of the Investor shall be personally liable for any liabilities of the Investor.
6.15
Nature of Statements. All statements contained in any Schedule, agreement, certificate or other instruments delivered by or on behalf of any Party hereto pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deemed representations and warranties by such Party.
