INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION
6.1 Survival of Representations,
Warranties and Covenants. Notwithstanding any right of Parent
fully to investigate the affairs of the Company and the rights of the Company to
fully investigate the affairs of Parent, and notwithstanding any knowledge of
facts determined or determinable by Parent and the Company, pursuant to such
investigation or right of investigation, Parent, the Company have the right to
rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the
Company, and Parent respectively, contained in this Agreement, or listed or
disclosed on any Schedule hereto or in any instrument delivered in connection
with or pursuant to any of the foregoing. 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 Company, and Parent
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 twelve (12) months after the date of Closing; provided,
however, that liability any party shall not terminate as to any specific claim
or claims which arise or result from or are related to a Claim for
fraud.
SECTION
6.2 Notice
and Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims.
(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.
18
(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 defense; or (y) the Indemnitee shall have one or more
defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party but only to the extent such
defense 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 defense 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 defense 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 defense 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 defense. Any Losses of any
Indemnitee for which an Indemnifying Party is liable for indemnification
hereunder shall be paid upon written demand therefor.
19
SECTION
6.3 Limits
on Indemnification.
(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
Company and Seller shall not be liable to indemnify Parent pursuant
to Section 6.2 above and Parent shall not be liable to indemnify the
Company and Shareholders pursuant to Section 6.3 above: (i) unless a Claims
Notice describing the loss is delivered to the Indemnifying Party within 12
months after the Closing (except for Losses arising out of an Indemnifying
Party’s fraud); (ii) with respect to special, consequential or punitive damages;
and (iii) in respect of any individual Loss of less than $25,000.
SECTION
6.4 Exclusive
Remedy. The parties agree that the indemnification provisions
of this Article VI shall constitute the sole or exclusive remedy of any party in
seeking damages or other monetary relief with respect to this Agreement and the
Contemplated Transactions, provided that, nothing herein shall be construed to
limit the right of any party to seek: (i) injunctive relief for a breach of
this Agreement; (ii) legal or equitable relief for a Claim for fraud; or
(iii) indemnity under the bylaws of Parent if they are or have been a director
or officer of Parent.

each party's right to terminate this Agreement, each party shall be entitled,
without the necessity or obligation of posting a bond or other security, to seek
injunctive relief, by commencing a suit in equity to obtain specific performance
of the obligations under this Agreement or to xxx for damages, in each case,
without first terminating this Agreement. The Company or Parent specifically
affirms the appropriateness of such injunctive, other equitable relief or

Parent;
20
(c) By

the Company has committed a breach of any covenant imposed upon it hereunder and
fails to cure such breach within thirty days after written notice thereof from
Parent, respectively; or (iii) any condition to Parent’s obligations under
Section 5.3 becomes incapable of fulfillment through no fault of Parent and
is not waived by the Company; and
(d) By
the Company or Parent, if any condition under Section 5.1 becomes incapable
of fulfillment through no fault of the party seeking termination and is not
waived by the party seeking termination.
SECTION
7.3 Effect
of Termination; Right to Proceed. Subject to the provisions of
Section 7.1 hereof, in the event that this Agreement shall be terminated
pursuant to Section 7.2, all further obligations of the parties under this
Agreement shall terminate without further liability of any party hereunder
except that: (i) the agreements contained in Section 4.2 shall survive the
termination hereof; and (ii) termination shall not preclude any party from
seeking relief against any other party for breach of Section 4.2. In
the event that a condition precedent to its obligation is not met, nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to require any party to terminate this
Agreement, rather than to waive such condition precedent and proceed with the
Contemplated Transactions.
