Company or Xxxxx occurring or existing prior to the Closing; or

Action is required under any Environmental Law or by any Governmental
Authority or is necessary to prevent or xxxxx a significant risk to human
health or the environment; (B) any and all Environmental Claims arising at
any time that relate to the business or the operation of the Company or
Xxxxx or any other Subsidiary prior to the Closing; or (C) any and all
noncompliances with or violations of any applicable Environmental Law or
Environmental Permit by the Company or Xxxxx or any other Subsidiary prior

51
(ix) any diminution in value of any asset of the Company, Xxxxx or
any other subsidiary as a result of an expense incurred by the Company,
Xxxxx or any other subsidiary arising out or resulting from the causes
enumerated in this Section 9.02(a); or
(x) any and all losses, suffered or incurred by the Purchaser, the
Company, or any Subsidiary by reason of or in connection with any breach
of the covenants contained in Section 6.03.
To the extent that the Company's undertakings set forth in this Section 9.02 may
be unenforceable, the Company shall contribute the maximum amount that it is
permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of
all Losses incurred by the Purchaser, the Company, Xxxxx and the Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, the
rights and obligations of the parties with respect to any and all Tax matters
shall be governed by Article VII. In particular, this Article IX shall not apply
to any indemnity to which the Purchaser may be entitled under Section 7.01
(relating to Taxes), except to the extent specified therein.
(b) An Indemnified Party shall give the Company notice of any matter
which an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a
right of indemnification under this Agreement, within 60 days of such
determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and the method of
computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this
Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or
arises. The obligations and Liabilities of the Company under this Article IX
with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject
to the indemnification provided for in this Article IX ("Third Party Claims")
shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and
conditions: (i) if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Company notice of such Third Party
Claim within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice,
provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the
Company from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent
the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the
Company from any other obligation or Liability that it may have to any
Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article IX and (ii) if the Company
acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party
hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then
the Company shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third
Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice
of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five days of the
receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party, provided, however, that if
there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would
make it inappropriate in the
52
judgment of the Indemnified Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the
same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Company, then the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each
jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at
the expense of the Company. In the event the Company exercises the right to
undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above,
the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Company in such defense and make
available to the Company, at the Company's expense, all witnesses, pertinent
records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party's possession or
under the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required
by the Company. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or
indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the
Company shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make
available to the Indemnified Party, at the Company's expense, all such
witnesses, records, materials and information in the Company's possession or
under the Company's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the
Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Company
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
(c) Purchaser Loss as to any matter arising under clauses (i)
through (x) of Section 9.02(a) shall be conclusively measured by the Loss to the
Company, Xxxxx or the other Subsidiary incurring such Loss multiplied by the
percentage interest of the Purchaser in the Preferred Stock Series A of the
Company at Closing, except that, in the event of a Loss arising out of the
Acquisition of Xxxxx, for which there is not a full indemnification to the
Company by X.X. Xxxxx, the Loss shall be 100% of such claim, and in the event of
a failure by the Company to issue sufficient shares of Common Stock to the
Purchaser, the Loss shall be 100% of such claim which may be settled in the sole
and absolute discretion of the Purchaser in the form of issuance of additional
shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser by the Company.
SECTION 9.03. Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Company, and its
Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns,
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Purchaser for any and all
Liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards,
judgments and penalties (including, without limitation, legal costs and
expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them (hereinafter, a "Company Loss"
and, together with a Purchaser Loss, a "Loss"), arising out of or resulting
from:
(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Purchaser contained herein or in any document delivered by the Purchaser
hereunder at the Closing; or
(b) the breach of any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser
contained herein.
53
SECTION 9.04. Materiality. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of application of the indemnity
provisions of this Article IX, the amount of any Purchaser Loss or Company Loss
arising from the breach of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
shall be the entire amount of any such Loss actually incurred by the respective
indemnitee as a result of such breach and not just that portion of such Loss
that exceeds the relevant level of materiality.
SECTION 9.05. Time Period; Dollar Threshold. (a) The indemnification
obligations of the Company and the Purchaser under this Article IX shall
continue for the same period of survival specified in Section 9.01 for each such
representation and warranty and shall terminate with the expiration of the
applicable survival period for each such representation, warranty and covenant.
Any claim or demand against the Company or the Purchaser which is pending or
asserted at or prior to the expiration of any survival period may continue to be
asserted and indemnified against.
(b) Neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall be entitled to
indemnification under this Article IX unless and until the aggregate amount of
the claims against the other party exceeds $500,000. If the aggregate amount of
such claims against either party exceeds $750,000, then that party may claim
indemnification for the entire aggregate amount of such claims. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the dollar limitations contained in this Section 9.05(b) shall
not apply to the claims for indemnity covered by Section 9.02(a)(x).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered
from the Company arising out of or resulting from the causes enumerated in
Section 9.02(a) shall be $5,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dollar
limitations contained in this Section 9.05(c) shall not apply to any claims for
indemnity covered by Section 9.02(a)(x).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, any claim for Indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the
Company arising out or resulting from the failure of the Company to issue to the
Purchaser sufficient shares of Common Stock shall not be subject to the dollar
limitations contained in Section 9.05(b) and (c).
SECTION 9.06. Notice and Defense. Each party shall within 90 days of
learning of any asserted liability or damage claimed to give rise to
indemnification hereunder notify the party obligated to indemnify it hereof in
writing provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified party to so
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligations hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such failure to
notify prejudices the indemnifying party. Thereafter, the indemnifying party
shall have, at its election, the right to compromise or defend any such matter
at its sole cost and
54
expense through counsel chosen by it. If the indemnifying party so undertakes to
compromise and defend, the indemnifying party shall notify the other party of
its intention to do so. If the indemnifying party fails to defend such matter
diligently, the indemnified party may assume control of the defense of such
matter. Each party agrees in all cases to cooperate with the defending party and
its counsel in the compromise of or defending of any such liabilities or claims.
The defending party and the nondefending party may be represented by the same
counsel unless such representation would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. In addition, the nondefending party
shall at all times be entitled to monitor such defense through the appointment
of counsel of its own choosing, at it own cost and expense.

compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such

any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such rights.
