-------
VIII.
----
8.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE STOCKHOLDERS. After the Closing and
-----------------------------------
subject to the limits set forth in Section 8.5, each Stockholder, individually
-----------
and not jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer or
the Company and each officer, director and affiliate of the Buyer or the Company
(collectively, the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from and against any and all damages,
losses, claims, liabilities, demands, charges, suits, penalties, costs and
expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred in investigating and preparing for any litigation or proceeding)
(collectively, the "INDEMNIFIABLE COSTS"),
-30-
which any of the Indemnified parties may sustain, or to which any of the
Indemnified Parties may be subjected, arising out of any misrepresentation,
breach or default by such Stockholder of or under any of its covenants,
agreements or other provisions of this Agreement or any document executed by it
in connection herewith, exclusive of representations and warranties relating to
the Company. After the Closing, the Stockholders, jointly and severally, shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer or the Company and each officer, director
and affiliate of the Buyer or the Company (collectively, the "Indemnified
Parties") from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities,
demands, charges, suits, penalties, costs and expenses (including court costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in investigating and
preparing for any litigation or proceeding) (collectively, the "Indemnifiable
Costs", which any of the Indemnified Parties may sustain, or to which any of the
Indemnified Parties may be subjected, arising out of any breach of a
representation and warranty regarding the Company. Determination of whether the
Company, on the one hand, or the Buyer, on the other hand, is entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall be made by such parties in light of the economic
impact or loss caused by the matter which is the subject of the claim of
indemnification. By way of example, a claim of indemnification for breaches of
the representation made in Section 3.17 (Taxes) would impact the Company so that
-------------
the Company would be entitled to indemnification. A claim of indemnification
based on a breach of Section 3.28 (No Liens on Shares) would affect the Buyer's
------------
investment in the Company directly (as opposed to derivatively), so that the
Buyer would be entitled to indemnification.
8.2 DEFENSE OF CLAIMS. If any legal proceeding shall be instituted,
-----------------
or any claim or demand made, against any Indemnified Party in respect of which
the Stockholders may be liable hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Stockholders and, except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.5 below, the Stockholders shall have the right to defend
-----------
any litigation, action, suit, demand, or claim for which they may seek
indemnification unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Buyer, such
litigation, action, suit, demand, or claim, or the resolution thereof, would
have an ongoing effect on the Buyer, the Company or its successors, and such
Indemnified Party shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with such
defense, which shall be at the Stockholders' expense. In the event the
Stockholders fail to defend the same within a reasonable length of time, the
Indemnified Parties and/or the Company (as appropriate) shall be entitled to
assume the defense thereof, and the Stockholders shall be liable to repay the
Indemnified Parties and/or the Company (as appropriate) for all expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with said defense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and settlement payments) if it is determined that such request
for indemnification was proper. If the Stockholders shall not have the right to
assume the defense of any litigation, action, suit, demand, or claim in
accordance with either of the two preceding sentences, the Indemnified Parties
shall have the right to control the defense of and to settle, with the consent
of the Stockholders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
-31-
such litigation, action, suit, demand, or claim, but the Stockholders shall be
entitled, at their own expense, to participate in such litigation, action, suit,
demand, or claim.
8.3 TAX AUDITS, ETC. In the event of an audit of a Tax Return of the
---------------
Company with respect to which an Indemnified Party might be entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, the Stockholders shall have the
------------
right in proportion to their respective interest in the Company prior to the
consummation hereof, to control any and all such audits which may result in the
assessment of additional Taxes against the Company and any and all subsequent
proceedings in connection therewith, including appeals (subject to the prior
written consent of the Buyer, which shall not unreasonably be withheld). The
Company and the Stockholders shall each cooperate fully with the other in all
matters relating to any such audit or other Tax proceeding (including according
access to all records pertaining thereto), and will execute and file any and all
consents, powers of attorney, and other documents as shall be reasonably
necessary in connection therewith. If additional Taxes are payable by the
Company as a result of any such audit or other proceeding, the Stockholders
shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay their proportionate share of all
Taxes, interest, and penalties to which any of the Indemnified Parties shall be
entitled to indemnification.
8.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF THE STOCKHOLDERS AND THE COMPANY. After the
---------------------------------------------------
Closing and subject to the limits set forth in Section 8.5, the Buyer agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders and the Company and each officer,
director, stockholder or affiliate of the Company, from and against any
Indemnifiable Costs arising out of any misrepresentation, breach or default by
the Buyer of or under any of the covenants, agreements or other provisions of
this Agreement or any agreement or document executed in connection herewith and
conduct by the Buyer or the Company of the Company's business after the Closing.
In addition, the Company and the Buyer shall indemnify the Stockholders for any
payment by the Stockholders of the Company's obligations occurring after the
Closing Date.
8.5 LIMITS ON INDEMNIFICATION. Except for any claims for breach of
-------------------------
the representations and warranties of the Stockholders under Sections 3.1, 3.2,
------------ ---
3.3, 3.17 or 3.29 hereof (the indemnification for which shall expire on the
--- ---- ----
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations), the indemnification
provided under this Article VIII shall expire twelve (12) months from the
------------
Closing Date. The Stockholders shall not be obligated to pay any amounts for
indemnification under this Article VIII until the aggregate indemnification
------------
obligation hereunder exceeds $50,000, whereupon the Stockholders shall only be
liable for all amounts in excess of such $50,000 for which indemnification may
be sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Stockholder have
any liability to the Buyer in excess of their allocable portion of fifteen
percent (15%) of the Adjusted Purchase Price (except for claims made for any
breach of the representations and warranties of the Stockholders under Sections
--------
3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.17 or 3.29 hereof, for which no such limitation on the
--- --- --- ---- ----
Stockholders' indemnification obligations shall apply). In addition, any
Stockholder shall only be
-32-
liable for breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections
--------
3.7 through 3.27 to the extent such Stockholder had actual knowledge of such
--- ----
breach. However, nothing in this Article VIII shall limit the Buyer in any way
------------
in exercising or securing any remedies provided by applicable common law with
respect to the conduct of the Stockholders in connection with this Agreement or
in the amount of damages that it can recover from the Stockholders in the event
that the Buyer successfully proves intentional fraud or intentional fraudulent
conduct in connection with this Agreement.

proceeding shall be pending or threatened, which restrains or seeks to restrain
or otherwise would make unlawful the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement;
(C) CONDITIONS TO THE BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS. By the Buyer if any
-------------------------------------

contained in this Section 9.2 shall relieve any party from liability for any
-----------
breach of this Agreement.
