All such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations and warranties of the Members, DUSA and TWDL respectively, contained in this Agreement, on any Schedule hereto or in any instrument delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate and expire twenty four (24) months after the date of Closing; provided, however, that the liability of the Members and TWDL shall not terminate as to any specific claim or claims of the type referred to in Section 6.3 hereof, whether or not fixed as to Liability or liquidated as to amount, with respect to which the Members and/or TWDL has been given specific notice on or prior to the date on which such Liability would otherwise terminate pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.1(b), or which arise or result from or are related to a Claim for fraud.
SECTION 6.2 Obligation of the Members to Indemnify. The Members agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless TWDL (and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, successors and assigns) from and against all Claims, losses, Liabilities, Regulatory Actions, damages, deficiencies, judgments, settlements, costs of investigation or other expenses (including Taxes, interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees and fees of other experts and disbursements and expenses incurred in enforcing this indemnification) (collectively, the "Losses") suffered or incurred by TWDL, or any of the foregoing persons arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties of the Members contained in this Agreement, or of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or in the Schedules or any other Transaction Document.
SECTION 6.3 Obligation of TWDL and Xxxxxx to Indemnify. TWDL and Xxxxxx jointly and severally agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Members (and any heirs, successor or assignee thereof) from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by the Members or any of the foregoing persons arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties of TWDL or Xxxxxx, or of the covenants and agreements of TWDL or Xxxxxx contained in this Agreement or in the Schedules or any other Transaction Document.
SECTION 6.4 Notice and Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims. (a)(a) Within ten (10) days following receipt by any party hereto (the "Indemnitee") of notice of any demand, claim, circumstance or Tax Audit which would or might give rise to a claim, or the commencement (or threatened commencement) of any action, proceeding or investigation that may result in a Loss (an "Asserted Liability"), the Indemnitee shall give notice thereof (the "Claims Notice") to the party or parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.2, or 6.3 (collectively, the "Indemnifying Party"). The Claims Notice shall describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnitee.
16 |
(b) The Indemnifying Party may elect to defend, at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Asserted Liability unless: (i) the Asserted Liability includes a Claim seeking an Order for injunction or other equitable or declaratory relief against the Indemnitee, in which case the Indemnitee may at its own cost and expense and at its option defend the portion of the Asserted Liability seeking equitable or declaratory relief against the Indemnitee, or (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably, and in good faith, after consultation with the Indemnifying Party, concluded that: (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party which could prevent or negatively influence the Indemnifying Party from impartially or adequately conducting such defence; or (y) the Indemnitee shall have one or more defences not available to the Indemnifying Party but only to the extent such defence cannot legally be asserted by the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such Asserted Liability, it shall within ten (10) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the defence of such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Asserted Liability, is not permitted to defend the Asserted Liability by reason of the first sentence of this Section 6.4(b), fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement with respect to such Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such Asserted Liability at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim over the reasonable written objection of the other, provided that the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has failed to notify the Indemnitee of its election under this Section 6.4(b) or as to which the Indemnifying Party is contesting its indemnification obligations hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party desires to accept a reasonable, final and complete settlement of an Asserted Liability so that such Indemnitee’s Loss is paid in full and the Indemnitee refuses to consent to such settlement, then the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnitee shall be limited to the amount offered in the settlement. The Indemnifying Party will exercise good faith in accepting any reasonable, final and complete settlement of an Asserted Liability. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee may participate, at its own expense, in the defence of such Asserted Liability. In the event the Indemnifying Party is not permitted by the Indemnitee to defend the Asserted Liability, it may nevertheless participate at its own expense in the defence of such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defence. Any Losses of any Indemnitee for which an Indemnifying Party is liable for indemnification hereunder shall be paid upon written demand therefor.
SECTION 6.5 Limits on Indemnification. (a)(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing or the limitations set forth in Section 6.5(b) below, in the event such Losses arise out of any fraud related matter on the part of any Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect of all such Losses.
(b) The Members shall not be liable to indemnify TWDL pursuant to Section 6.2 above and TWDL shall not be liable to indemnify the Members pursuant to Section 6.3 above with respect to special, consequential or punitive damages; or in respect of any individual Loss of less than $2,000.
