INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 SBS’ Indemnity. SBS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Shavlik and each of its subsidiaries, divisions, officers, directors, and employees (the “Shavlik Indemnified Parties”) from and against and in respect of any and all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, interest and penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith and in seeking indemnification therefor, and any amounts or expenses required to be paid or incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim, appeal, demand, assessment or judgment) whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively “Indemnifiable Losses”), directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of, or imposed upon or incurred by any Shavlik Indemnified Party by reason of any one or more of the following: (i) any claim by a customer included in the Assumed Contracts or by a competitor that the Products infringe or misappropriate any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights existing on or before the Closing Date under the laws of any country unless such claim results from (a) modification of the Product by Shavlik or the use of the Product by Shavlik in a manner inconsistent with its documentation, or (b) the combination of the Product with other hardware, software, or functionality; (ii) any breach of SBS’s representations and warranties hereunder; (iii) the Excluded Liabilities; (iv) any failure of SBS to perform any covenant or agreement hereunder after the Closing Date; and (v) any third party claim alleging any of the foregoing.

8.2 Shavlik’s Indemnity. Shavlik shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SBS and each of its subsidiaries, divisions, officers, directors, and employees (the “SBS Indemnified Parties”) from and against and in respect of any and all Indemnifiable Losses directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of, or imposed upon or incurred by any SBS Indemnified Party by reason of any one or more of the following: (i) the wrongful acts or omissions of Shavlik or its agents relating to or arising out of Shavlik’s distribution or support of the Product after the Closing Date; (ii) any breach of Shavlik of its representations and warranties hereunder; (iii) the Assumed Liabilities; (iv) any failure of Shavlik to perform any covenant or agreement hereunder after the Closing Date; and (v) any third party claim alleging any of the foregoing.

8.3 Contrary Intention. The foregoing indemnities shall be payment obligations and not merely reimbursement obligations, it being understood that SBS and Shavlik have a “contrary intention” with respect to the provisions of paragraph 2 of Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.

8.4 Satisfaction of Indemnification Claim.

8.4.1 If a claim by a third party is made against any party that intends to seek indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such claim; provided, however, that failure to give timely notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party so long as the failure to give timely notice does not adversely affect the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such claim against a third party and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such claim. Both the Indemnified Party and indemnifying party shall act in good faith, provided that the indemnifying party shall not thereby permit to exist any lien, encumbrance or other adverse charge upon any asset of any Indemnified Party or of its subsidiaries, and the indemnifying party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, with all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel borne by the Indemnified Party. No voluntary entry of judgment or settlement of a claim may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (v) the indemnifying party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for the indemnified amount as incurred by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement. So long as the indemnifying party is reasonably contesting any such third party claim in good faith as provided herein, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim (or, if it does, it shall not be indemnified for such settlement amount). The controlling party shall upon request deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the other party copies of all correspondence, pleadings, motions, briefs, appeals or other written statements relating to or submitted in connection with the settlement or defense of any such claim, and timely notices of any hearing or other court proceeding relating to such claim.

8.4.2 A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought. Such notice shall state the amount of Indemnifiable Losses, if known, the method of computation thereof, and contain a reference to the provisions of the Agreement in respect to which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.
