Company agrees to indemnify the Purchasers and their Representatives
(collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them
harmless against any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any
investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and,
in
connection therewith, and promptly on demand, pay and reimburse each of them
costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or
nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by
them or
asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or
in
any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or
covenants of the Company contained herein; provided that such claim for
indemnification relating to a breach of a representation or warranty is made
prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty.
Note
and Warrant Purchase Agreement
Page
15
Section
7.02 Indemnification by
Purchasers. The
Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify the Company and
its
Representatives (collectively, “the Company Related Parties”) from, and
hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings
(including any investigations, litigation, or inquiries), demands and causes
of
action and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay and reimburse
each of them costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any
kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees
and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such
matter
that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as
a
result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of
the
representations, warranties or covenants of the Purchaser contained herein;
provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of a
representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of such
representation or warranty.
Section
7.03 Indemnification
Procedure. Promptly
after any of the Company Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter,
the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim
hereunder, or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third party,
which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim
under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder
(the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the
commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the
Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability
it
may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice
shall
state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then
known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and
settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying
Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying
Party
undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified
Party
of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with
the
Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects
in
the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include
furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information
reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s
possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party
shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the
Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to
undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long
as
the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying
Party
shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted
liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted
liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A)
the
Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (B) if the defendants in any such
action
include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel
to the
Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses
available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition
to
those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified
Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the
Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select
a
separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate
in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate
counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed
by the
Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified
claim
without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof
imposes no liability or obligation on, involves no admission of wrongdoing
or
malfeasance by, and includes a complete release from liability of, the
Indemnified Party.
