SECTION 9.4 Limitations. Except as otherwise set forth below, no party shall have any obligation under the indemnification provisions set forth herein (i) with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties contained herein, as applicable, unless notice of a claim for indemnity in respect of any such matter has been given to such party on or before the date which is eighteen (18) months after the Closing and (ii) until the aggregate of all Liabilities payable by any party exceeds $25,000. Provided, however that the foregoing limitations of this Section 9.4 shall not limit in any respect a party’s right to indemnification in connection with any action based upon intentional or fraudulent actions of the party owing indemnification.
Section 9.5 Procedure. A party hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”. An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement promptly (and in any event within ten (10) business days) upon the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to each Indemnifying Party of any liability or loss which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice on a timely basis will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced. As to any claim, action, suit or proceeding by a third party, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of such matter, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all
Page 20 of 24
ASSET Purchase Agreement.
expenses relating thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to each Indemnified Party of its assumption of the defense of any action, suit or proceeding within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party with respect to such matter. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such matter, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the responsibility of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reasonably promptly employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that the conduct of such proceedings by the Indemnifying Party and counsel of its choosing will prejudice the rights of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to such matter; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not make any settlement of any claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving consideration or relief other than the payment of money. After settlement and payment thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall have no right to dispute or object to the amount of the settlement or a claim for indemnification based thereon.
With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a non-appealable judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of a judgment or appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; (iii) a settlement of the claim; or (iv) with respect to indemnities for liabilities relating to Taxes, upon the issuance of any resolution by a Taxation authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party if such expenses are a liability of the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified Party.
SECTION 9.4 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date they are delivered if delivered in person; (ii) on the date initially received if delivered by facsimile transmission with independent confirmation of receipt followed by confirmation of notice by registered or certified mail or overnight courier service; (iii) on the date delivered by an overnight courier service; or (iv) on the fifth business day after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested with postage and other fees prepaid, to the address set forth herein of such other addresses provided by each party to the other parties in accordance with the terms or provisions hereof.

Upon such determination that any such term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
SECTION 9.7 Entire Agreement.

SECTION 9.12 Further Assurances, Cooperation. Each party shall, upon reasonable request by the other party, execute and deliver any additional documents necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this agreement.
SECTION 9.14 Assignment This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise; except that PURCHASER may assign this Agreement to a related or successor entity, but any such assignment shall not waive and/or discharge the PURCHASER of its obligations hereunder and the PURCHASER shall be liable therefor as if it had not assigned the same.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any third persons any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement.
SECTION 9.16 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein, nor shall nay single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 9.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement and such execution shall be conclusively evidenced by a facsimile transmitted copy or electronic mail transmitted copy of the execution page hereof.
