SECTION 8.1. General Indemnification by the Company. Subject to the
limitations contained in Section 8.4 hereof, the Company covenants and agrees
that it will indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Purchaser and its
officers, stockholders, directors, divisions, subdivisions, affiliates,
subsidiaries, parents, agents, employees, successors and assigns at all times
from and after the date of this Agreement until the Expiration Date (as defined
in Section 8.5) from and against all claims, damages, losses (including, without
limitation, diminution in the value of the Shares), liabilities, actions, suits,
proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which shall
include, without limitation, expenses of investigation) (collectively, "Losses")
incurred by the Purchaser as a result of or arising from (a) any breach of the
representations and warranties made by the Company set forth herein or on the
schedules or certificates delivered in connection herewith, or (b) any
nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company under
this Agreement; provided, that Losses shall be limited to and shall not exceed
(i) actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser, and (ii) the amount by
which the per share price of the Shares has declined below the Purchase Price
per share as set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 8.2. Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to the
limitations contained in Section 8.4 hereof, the Purchaser covenants and agrees
that it will indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Company and its
officers, stockholders, directors, divisions, subdivisions, affiliates,
subsidiaries, parents, agents, employees, successors and assigns at all times
from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all Losses incurred
by the Company as a result of or arising from (a) any breach of the
representations and warranties made by the Purchaser set forth herein or on the
schedules or certificates attached hereto, or (b) any nonfulfillment of any
agreement on the part of the Purchaser under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.3. Third Party Claims. (a)In order for a party hereto eligible to be
indemnified hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") to be entitled to any
indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of
or involving a claim or demand made by any Person or entity against the
Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"), such Indemnified
38
44
Party must notify the parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to
Section 8.1 or 8.2 hereof (each, an "Indemnifying Party") in writing, and in
reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim within 30 Business Days after
receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim;
provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the
indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party
shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice
shall state the nature and the basis of such claim and a reasonable estimate of
the amount thereof. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the
Indemnifying Party, within ten Business Days after the Indemnified Party's
receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers)
received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and
settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel (provided that such counsel is
not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party), any Third Party Claim;
provided that, and for so long as, the Indemnifying Party pursues the same in
good faith and diligently and provided that the Third Party Claim does not
relate to an actual or potential Loss to which Section 8.3(e) applies in which
the Indemnified Party is the Purchaser. 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 the defense thereof and in any settlement
thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing
the Indemnifying Party with any books, records or information reasonably
requested by the Indemnifying Party that are in the Indemnified Party's
possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to participate in any matter through counsel of its own
choosing at its own expense (unless there is a conflict of interest that
prevents counsel for the Indemnifying Party from representing the Indemnified
Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party
for the expenses of its counsel). 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, except to the extent such
participation is requested by the Indemnifying Party, in which event the
Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for reasonable
additional legal expenses and out-of-pocket expenses, and except in the case of
a Third Party Claim relating to an actual or potential Loss to which Section
8.3(e) applies in which the Indemnified Party is the Purchaser.
(c) No Indemnifying Party shall, in the defense of any Third
Party Claim, Consent to entry of any judgment (other than a judgment of
dismissal on the merits without costs) or enter into any settlement, except with
the written Consent of the Indemnified Party, which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or
matter.
(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of
any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may defend against such Third
Party Claim in such manner as it deems appropriate at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party.
39
45
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article
VIII, if at any time, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser as the
Indemnified Party (notice of which opinion shall be given in writing to the
Indemnifying Party), any Third Party Claim seeks material prospective relief
which could have an adverse effect on any such Indemnified Party or any
subsidiary, then such Indemnified Party shall have the right to control or
assume (as the case may be) the defense of any such Third Party Claim and the
amount of any judgment or settlement and the reasonable costs and expenses of
defense (including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements of counsel and
experts) shall be included as part of the indemnification obligations of the
Indemnifying Party hereunder. If the Indemnified Party elects to exercise such
right, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, but
not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party.
SECTION 8.4. Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other
term of this Agreement, in no event shall the Company or the Purchaser be liable
under this Article VIII for an amount which exceeds the Purchase Price. All
indemnification obligations of the Company, other than Third Party Claims, shall
be satisfied by the payment of cash or, at the sole option of the Purchaser in
each instance, the issuance of additional shares of Company Common Stock, valued
at a price per share equal to the average of the closing prices per share (or,
if no closing price is available, the average of the last bid and ask prices per
share) of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding and
excluding the date of payment.
SECTION 8.5. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The parties
agree that the representations and warranties made by the parties in this
Agreement, or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this
Agreement, shall survive for a period of two years from the Closing Date (which
date is hereinafter called the "Expiration Date"), except that:
(a) the representations and warranties contained in Section
3.17 hereof shall survive until six months after the termination of the
applicable statute of limitations relating thereto, which shall be deemed the
Expiration Date for purposes of this clause (a) and claims arising from a breach
of the representations and warranties contained in such Section 3.17;
(b) the representations and warranties contained in Section
3.25 hereof shall survive until six months after the termination of the
applicable statute of limitations relating thereto, which shall be deemed the
Expiration Date for purposes of this clause (b) and claims arising from a breach
of the representations and warranties contained in such Section 3.25; and
(c) the representations and warranties contained in Sections
3.3 and 3.7 hereof shall survive the Closing Date without time limitation.
