Termination

This Agreement may, by notice given prior to or at the Subsequent
Closing, be terminated:
(1) by either the Company or the Purchaser if a material breach
or default of any provision of this Agreement has been committed by the other
party which would make the conditions to this Agreement incapable of being

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination.
---------------------
Each party's right of termination under Section 7.1 is in addition to
any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise
of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement
is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, all further obligations of the parties
under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 8.1
and 8.2 and Article IX will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement
is terminated by a party because of the breach or default of the Agreement by
the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating
party's obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the
other party's failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the
terminating party's right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such
termination unimpaired.
ARTICLE VIII
Indemnification
Section 8.1 Indemnification Generally.
-------------------------
The Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand
(each an "Indemnifying Party"), shall indemnify the other from and against any
and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, charges, actions, proceedings,
demands, judgments, settlement costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) or
deficiencies (collectively, "Losses") resulting from any breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant by the Indemnifying Party and all claims,
charges, actions or proceedings incident to or arising out of the foregoing. The
Company shall further indemnify the Purchaser for any and all Losses incurred by
the Purchaser which arise out of any claim by or on behalf of any stockholder,
security holder, private equity fund investor or joint venture partner of the
Company in connection with any act or omission by the Company in respect of its
obligations under this Agreement. Except with respect to third party claims
being defended in good faith or claims for indemnification with respect to which
there exists a good faith dispute, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its
obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days of receipt of a notice of claim
under this Section 8.1.
Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedures For Third Party Claims.
-------------------------------------------------
If a claim by a third party is made against a Person entitled to
indemnification under this Article VIII (an "Indemnified Party") and such
Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto from any
Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Party shall give notice in writing as
promptly as reasonably practicable to each such Indemnifying Party of any action
commenced
16
against or by it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but
failure to so notify an Indemnified Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying
Party from any liability that it may have otherwise than on account of this
indemnity agreement so long as such failure shall not have materially prejudiced
the position of the Indemnifying Party. Upon such notification, the Indemnifying
Party shall assume the defense of such action brought by a third party, and
after such assumption, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to
reimbursement of any expenses incurred by it in connection with such action
except as described below. In any such action, any Indemnified Party shall have
the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying
Party shall have failed to promptly assume and thereafter vigorously conduct
such defense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have
mutually agreed to the contrary or (iii) the named parties in any such action
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing or conflicting interests
between them. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of a third party claim
shall, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party
of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by such
Indemnifying Party), but if settled with such consent or if there be final
judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the
Indemnified Party from and against any loss, damage or liability by reason of
such settlement or judgment.
Section 8.3 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Agreements, Etc.
--------------------------------------------------------
All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made
in writing by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall survive for the duration of any statutes of
limitation applicable thereto, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any
investigation at any time made by the Company, the Purchaser or on such party's
behalf, the purchase of the Shares by the Purchaser under this Agreement and any
disposition of or payment on the Shares. All statements contained in any
certificate or other instrument delivered to the Purchaser by or on behalf of
the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and
warranties of the Company under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided
herein, all covenants and agreements contained herein shall survive for the
duration of any statutes of limitations applicable thereto or until, by their
respective terms, they are no longer operative.
