All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, or in any schedule, certificate, document or statement delivered pursuant hereto, shall survive (and not be affected in any respect by) the Closing, any investigation conducted by any party hereto and any information which any party may receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate on, and no claim or action with respect thereto may be brought after, the third anniversary of the Effective Date, except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 5(g) of this Agreement shall survive indefinitely. The representations and warranties which terminate on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, and the liability of any party with respect thereto pursuant to this Section 10, shall not terminate with respect to any claim, whether or not fixed as to liability or liquidated as to amount, with respect to which the appropriate party has been given written notice setting forth the facts upon which the claim for indemnification is based prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date, as the case may be.
(a)
The parties shall indemnify each other as set forth below:
(1)
From and after the Closing and for a period of eighteen months following the Closing Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 10, CoConnect and CoConnect Sub (individually and collectively, the “CoConnect Group”) shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Boomj and Boomj’s past, present and future officers, directors, stockholders, employees, attorneys, and agents (collectively, the “Boomj Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses (as defined below) including, without limitation, any reasonable legal expenses to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the CoConnect Group contained in Sections 5 or 13 of this Agreement (as of the date hereof, or as of the Closing Date and Effective Date) or of any representation, warranty or statement made in any schedule, certificate document or instrument delivered by the CoConnect Group or any officer or any of them at or in connection with the Closing, in each case without giving effect to any materiality qualification (including qualifications indicating accuracy in all material respects), or (ii) the breach by the CoConnect Group, of or failure by the CoConnect Group to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) no member of the CoConnect Group shall be responsible for any Losses with respect to the matters referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 10(a), until the cumulative aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds $500.00, in which event the CoConnect Group shall then be liable for all such cumulative aggregate Losses, including the first $500.00. Each member of the CoConnect Group specifically acknowledges and agrees that any Boomj Indemnified Party may proceed against any member of the CoConnect Group under this Section 10 without contemporaneously, or at any time, proceeding against any other member of the CoConnect Group. As used herein, “Losses” shall mean any and all demands, claims, complaints, actions or causes of action, suits, proceedings, investigations, arbitrations, assessments, losses, damages, payments, liabilities or obligations (including those arising out of any action, such as any settlement or compromise thereof or judgment or award therein) and any fees, costs and expenses related thereto (net of any directly related insurance payments or recoveries received or to be received from third party insurers), and the term “legal expenses” shall mean the fees, costs and expenses of any kind incurred by any party indemnified herein and its counsel in investigating, preparing for, defending against or providing evidence, producing documents or taking other action with respect to any threatened or asserted claim.
17
(2)
From and after the Closing and for a period of eighteen months following the Closing Date, subject to the provisions of this Section 10, Boomj shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the CoConnect Group (collectively, the “CoConnect Group Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses (including, without limitation, any reasonable legal expenses) to the extent arising from, relating to or otherwise in respect of (i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Boomj contained in Sections 4 or 13 of this Agreement (as of the date hereof, or as of the Closing Date and Effective Date) or of any representation, warranty or statement made in any schedule, certificate document or instrument delivered by Boomj or an officer of Boomj at or in connection with the Closing, in each case without giving effect to any materiality qualification (including qualifications indicating accuracy in all material respects), or (ii) the breach by Boomj of or failure by Boomj to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that Boomj shall not be responsible for any Losses with respect to the matters until the cumulative aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $500.00, in which event Boomj shall then be liable for all such cumulative aggregate Losses, including the first $500.00.
(3)
In order for a Boomj Indemnified Party or CoConnect Group Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of its claim for indemnification with reasonable promptness after determining to make such claim, to the CoConnect Group or any member thereof (in the case of any indemnification claim under Section 10(a)(1)) or Boomj (in the case of any indemnification claim under Section 10(a)(2)). The failure by any Indemnified Party to notify the CoConnect Group (or any member thereof) or Boomj, as the case may be, shall not relieve any relevant indemnifying party (each relevant member of the CoConnect Group, or Boomj, as the case may be, being referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party”) from any liability which he or it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement, except to the extent that such claim for indemnification involves the claim of a third party against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. If an Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 calendar days following receipt by it of such notice that such Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement and such Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If an Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
18
(4)
(i)
If the claim involves a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole cost, expense and ultimate liability regardless of the outcome, and through counsel of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), to litigate, defend, settle or otherwise attempt to resolve such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to select counsel of its own choosing, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.
(ii)
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment no such conflict exists, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, participate at its own expense in a defense of such Third Party Claim by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense unless (A) in the case where only money damages are sought, the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or (B) in the case where equitable relief is sought, the Indemnified Party elects to participate in and jointly control the defense thereof.
(iii)
Whenever the Indemnifying Party controls the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may only settle or compromise the matter subject to indemnification without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement includes a complete release of all Indemnified Parties as to the matters in dispute and relates solely to money damages. The Indemnified Party will not unreasonably withhold consent to any settlement or compromise that requires its consent.
(iv)
In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to timely defend, contest, or otherwise protect the Indemnified Party against any such claim or suit, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, defend, contest, or otherwise protect against the same, and make any compromise or settlement thereof, and in such event, or in the case where the Indemnified Party jointly controls such claim or suit, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover its costs thereof from the Indemnifying Party, including attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such claim or suit or the compromise or settlement thereof.
(v)
The Indemnified Party shall cooperate and provide such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with the defense of the matter subject to indemnification and in connection with recovering from any third parties amounts that the Indemnifying Party may pay or be required to pay by way of indemnification hereunder.
(b)
The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder shall be computed without regard to any insurance recovery related to such losses.
