11.2 Indemnities.

(A) Sellers’ Indemnity. Subject to the limitations of Section 11.2(E), Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, partners, affiliates (including but not limited to the Company and the Subsidiaries), agents, successors, subsidiaries and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Group”) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, obligations, claims and expenses (including, without limitation, costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorney’s fees) (collectively “Losses”) that any member of the Buyer Indemnified Group sustains or becomes subject to as a result of, arising out of or relating to (i) the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Seller Parties made herein (except those set forth in Section 3), (ii) the breach of any covenants or agreements of the Seller Parties made herein, (iii) any Third Party Claims (as defined in Section 11.2(C) below) arising out of or relating to the ownership of the Shares, the operation of the Company and the Subsidiaries or the conduct of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries (or any of them) in any period prior to the Closing Date, (iv) any penalties or interest related to any state sales, use, income, franchise or property Tax of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries due but unpaid as of the Closing Date, (v) any state sales, use, income, franchise or property Tax (exclusive of any penalties or interest) of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries due but unpaid as of the Closing Date and that HTRN or any wholly-owned subsidiary thereof (including the Company) is or becomes obligated to pay or agrees to pay, and (vi) the failure of the Company or any Subsidiary as of the Closing Date to be duly qualified to do business as a foreign organization and to be in good standing under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such qualification. Subject to the limitations of Section 11.2(E), each Seller and Additional Seller shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Buyer Indemnified Group from and against any and all Losses that any member of the Buyer Indemnified Group sustains or becomes subject to as a result of, arising out of or relating to the breach by such Seller or Additional Seller, as the case may be, of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 herein.

(B) The Buyer’s Indemnity. The Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers from and against all Losses that any Seller sustains or becomes subject to as a result of (i) the breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Buyer made herein, or (ii) the breach of any of the covenants or agreements of the Buyer made herein.

(C) Third Party Claim. If any claim, action, suit or proceeding is filed or initiated by a third party against any Party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder (each, a “Third Party Claim”), written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within three (3) days after the service of the citation or summons); provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. After such notice, if the indemnifying party shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such Third Party Claim, then the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim and to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, such attorneys to be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and expense (unless (i) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or (ii) the named parties to such Third Party Claim include both of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and the indemnified party and its counsel determine in good faith that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and that joint representation would be inappropriate), and to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnified party may withhold such consent if such compromise or settlement would adversely affect the conduct of business or requires less than an unconditional release to be obtained. If (i) the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 15 days after receipt of notice thereof pursuant to this Section 11.2, or (ii) the named parties to such Third Party Claim include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party and its counsel determine in good faith that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and that joint representation would be inappropriate, the indemnified party against which such Third Party Claim has been filed or initiated will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to participate, at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense, in the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of both the indemnified and the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any Third Party Claim effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 11.2 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment.

Regardless of whether the indemnified party participates in the defense, the indemnifying party will pay reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement for any Third Party Claim under this Section 11.2.

(D) Cooperation. The indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own cost (if the indemnifying party is not otherwise liable for such costs under this Section 11.2), participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. The indemnifying party shall pay all reasonable expenses due under this Section 11.2 as such expenses become due. In the event such expenses are not so paid, the indemnified party shall be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim under this Section 11.2 without the consent of the indemnifying party and without waiving any rights the indemnified party may have against the indemnifying party.

(E) Limitations on Liability of Sellers and Indemnification of Buyer Indemnified Group. Claims for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Group under Section 7.2 hereof shall be limited as follows:

(1) Any claim for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Group under Section 11.2 hereof (except Section 11.2(A)(i) in respect to Section 2.17 and Section 11.2(A)(ii)) shall be made on or before the third anniversary of the date hereof; and

(2) Except with respect to any Losses as a result of, arising out of, or relating to a breach of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.17, 2.23, or 9.1 or relating to indemnification under Sections 11.2(A)(v), neither the Sellers nor the Additional Sellers shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Group for any claims for indemnification made by the Buyer Indemnified Group under Section 11.2 hereof until the aggregate amount of Losses with respect to such claims exceeds two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) (the “Basket”), and then only to the extent such indemnification claims exceed such amount and are within the limitations of the following subparagraphs (3) and (4) of this Section 11.2(E); and

(3) In satisfaction of its liability under this Article 11, the Sellers and Additional Sellers shall be permitted to, in their sole discretion, pay cash, transfer all or a portion of the shares of HTRN Common Stock received by them hereunder, or pay a combination of cash and such shares. For purposes of calculating the number of such shares (and any shares of HTRN Common Stock issued and paid pursuant to any stock dividends or stock splits) to be paid by the Seller or Additional Seller, as the case may be, in satisfying any liability under this Article 11, and in determining whether the Basket threshold has been exceeded and whether the aggregate liability limitation as set forth in the following subparagraph (4) of this Section 11.2(E) has been met, each such share shall be valued at the actual value at the time of the calculation or determination of the value of each share of HTRN Common Stock.

(4) In no event will the aggregate liability of the Sellers and Additional Sellers arising out of this Agreement, including without limitation under Section 11.2, exceed the aggregate amount paid to the Sellers and Additional Sellers pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4, whether paid in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof.

(F) Indemnification Procedure; Offsets. An indemnifying party (the “Indemnitor”) shall promptly pay or reimburse to the indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) the amount of all Losses payable or reimbursable to the indemnified party pursuant to this Article 11 after the amount of any such Losses and the Indemnitor’s liability therefor is established by (i) agreement in writing between Indemnitor and the Indemnitee or (ii) by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (any Loss so determined is referred to herein as an “Established Loss”). If the Indemnitor does not pay to the Indemnitee the amount of the Established Loss on or before the 30th day after the determination described in item (i) or (ii) above then on the 31st day after such determination, the amount of the Established Loss payable by the Indemnitor shall bear interest at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum. If any Established Loss is outstanding and unpaid on the date on which the Indemnitee is obligated to pay any amount to the Indemnitor, then the Indemnitee may set off such Established Loss (including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) against such amount due and payable to the Indemnitor.

12. Public Announcements.

Neither the Buyer, the Company, the Subsidiaries, the Sellers nor the Additional Sellers shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein without the prior consent of the Buyer (in the case of the Company, the Sellers or Additional Sellers) or the Sellers (in the case of the Buyer), except as may be required by applicable law, including any determination by HTRN or the Buyer that a press release or other public statement is required under applicable securities or regulatory rules.
