ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION
| 6.1 | Indemnity of the Holders. The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder from and against, and to reimburse each Holder with respect to, all Losses (“Holders’ Losses”) asserted against or incurred by such Holder by reason of, arising out of, or in connection with any material breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement made by the Company or in any document or closing certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, no claim for indemnification shall be made by any Holder against the Company unless and until the aggregate of all Holders’ Losses exceed $25,000. |
| 6.2 | Indemnity of the Company. Each Holder, acting severally and not jointly, agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against, and to reimburse the Company with respect to, all Losses (“Company Losses”) asserted against or incurred the Company by reason of, arising out of, or in connection with any material breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and made by such Holder or in any document or certificate delivered by such Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that each Holder shall only be required to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company for the representations and warranties made by such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2, no claim for indemnification shall be made by Company against any Holder unless and until the aggregate Company Losses exceed $25,000. |
| 6.3 | Indemnification Procedure. A party (an “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification shall give prompt notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim for indemnification arising under this Article VI. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and to control the defense of any such claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, including the cost and expense of reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in connection with such defense, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and disbursements of separate counsel for such in such action. In the event, however, that such Indemnified Party’s legal counsel shall determine that defenses may be available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, in that there could reasonably be expected to be a conflict of interest if such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have common counsel in any such proceeding, or if the Indemnified Party has not assumed the defense of the action or proceedings, then such Indemnifying Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend such Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Party. No settlement of any such claim or payment in connection with any such settlement shall be made without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
ARTICLE VII
