SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Survival. All statements contained in any schedule or in any certificate or instrument of conveyance delivered by or on behalf of the parties pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the Parties, shall be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the other Parties hereto and shall survive the Closing and be enforceable until fully performed. Unless otherwise specified, the representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained herein shall survive the Closing Date until December 31, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”). No investigation made by any of the Parties shall in any way limit the representations and warranties of the parties. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed prior to Closing shall not survive and shall expire at the Closing, provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the covenants and agreements of Buyer and Seller contained in this Agreement to be performed or related to periods after the Closing shall survive the Closing until the applicable time. Any claim for indemnification under the representations and warranties that is asserted in writing within the survival period shall survive until resolved or judicially determined without possibility of appeal.

6.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, representatives, stockholders and agents (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against any Damages incurred by Seller that are incident to, arise out of, in connection with, or related to, whether directly or indirectly (i) any breach or violation of, inaccuracy in or omission from any warranty or representation of Parent or Buyer; (ii) any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of

Parent or Buyer; and (iii) any transactions entered into or events occurring or arising out of the operation of the Business after the Closing.

6.3 Indemnification by Seller. Subsequent to the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent, Buyer, the Company, their Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, representatives, stockholders and agents (“Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against any damage, claim, loss, cost, liability or expense, including without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation, response action, removal action or remedial action (collectively “Damages”) incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties that are incident to, arise out of, in connection with, or related to, whether directly or indirectly (i) any breach or violation of, inaccuracy in or omission from any warranty or representation of Seller contained in this Agreement; (ii) any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of Seller; and (iii) any transactions entered into or events occurring or arising out of the operation of the Business prior to the Closing.

6.4 Limitations on Indemnification. Except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, the aggregate amount of all payments made by Seller in satisfaction for Damages related to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.3, other than with respect to any breach or violation of, inaccuracy in or omission from the representations set forth in Section 3.1(c), Section 3.1(k) and Section 3.1(o) (the “Fundamental Representations”), shall not exceed the Escrow Amount. The Escrow Amount shall be available to compensate Buyer Indemnified Parties for any and all Damages paid, incurred or sustained by any Buyer Indemnified Parties related to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.3 (other than with respect to any breach or violation of, inaccuracy in or omission from the Fundamental Representations). The Escrow Amount shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of Damages payable by Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Parties with the remaining portion of the Escrow Amount, if any, that is not subject to any claims for indemnification made prior to the Expiration Date, being paid to Seller promptly after the Expiration Date (or with respect to any amounts withheld that are subject to an existing Dispute Note, upon resolution of such dispute). The term “Damages” is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against Seller Indemnified Parties or Buyer Indemnified Parties, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by such persons in the absence of third party claims.

6.5 Notice of Claims.

(a) Any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification hereunder shall, within the relevant limitation period provided for above, give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; and provided further, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice and to pay such amount to such Indemnified Party in immediately available funds or (ii) to provide such Indemnified Party with notice that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”). Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of the Dispute Notice, a representative of Indemnitor and such Indemnified Party shall negotiate in a bona fide attempt to resolve the matter. In the event that the controversy is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the giving of the Dispute Notice, the parties shall proceed to binding arbitration.

6.6 Third Person Claims. If a claim by a third Person is made against an Indemnified Party, and if such party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnitor in writing of such claims, setting forth such claims in reasonable detail. The Indemnitor shall have ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided that the Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party and paid at its own expense and provided further that, if in the opinion of counsel for such Indemnified Party there is a reasonable likelihood of a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor shall be responsible for reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to such Indemnified Party in connection with such defense. So long as the Indemnitor is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim without the consent of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor does not notify the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake, at Indemnitor’s cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefore pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnitor shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, (i) enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the person or persons asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties (i.e. Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party, as the case may be) of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or (ii) consent to entry of any judgment

6.7 Purchase Price Adjustments. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.
