Plans are in compliance in all material respects with the applicable terms of
ERISA, the Code and any other applicable laws, rules and regulations. No Benefit
Plan which is a Defined Benefit Pension Plan (within the meaning of ERISA) has
any "unfunded current liability," as that term is defined in Section
302(d)(8)(A) of ERISA, and the present fair market value of the assets of any
such plan exceeds the plan's "benefit liabilities," as that term is defined in
Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA, when determined under actuarial factors that would
apply if the plan terminated in accordance with all applicable legal
requirements. No Benefit Plan has an "accumulated funding deficiency" as defined
in Code Section 412. No event has occurred with respect to a Benefit Plan that
could subject the Company to liability under Title IV of ERISA. No Benefit Plan
has been funded or administered in a manner that would result in Liability for
any Tax or penalty for overfunding or prohibited transactions under applicable
law.

7.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company will indemnify Buyer and
its Affiliates (exclusive of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and the
shareholders, directors, employees and agents of Buyer and its Affiliates
(exclusive of the Company and its Subsidiaries) (collectively, the "Buyer
Indemnified Parties") against and hold them harmless from:
(a) REPRESENTATIONS. All Liability, loss, damage, deficiency or
cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees) resulting
from or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation
or warranty by the Company herein or in any other agreement, or document
referred to herein and delivered by or on behalf of the Company in
17
connection herewith (except, and only to the extent, that any such
agreement or document provides for an economically equivalent remedy to
Buyer as is provided hereunder, the intentions of the parties being to
avoid any duplication of recovery for any breach hereunder); provided,
however, in no event shall this subsection (a) apply to any inaccuracy
or breach caused by an event which occurs after the Closing;
(b) COVENANTS. All Liability, loss, damage, deficiency or cost
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees) from or arising
out of any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation made
or incurred by the Company herein or in any other agreement or document
referred to herein and delivered by or on behalf of the Company in
connection herewith (except, and only to the extent, that any such
agreement or document provides for an economically equivalent remedy to
Buyer as is provided hereunder, the intentions of the parties being to

arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or
warranty by Buyer herein or in any other agreement, or document referred

(except, and only to the extent, that any such agreement or document
provides for an economically equivalent remedy to the Company as is
provided hereunder, the intentions of the parties being to avoid any
duplication of recovery for any breach hereunder);
(b) COVENANTS. All Liability, loss, damage or deficiency
resulting from or arising out of any breach or nonperformance of any
covenant or obligation made or incurred by Buyer herein or in any other

thereunder).
7.4 INDEMNIFICATION CONTROL. Each Indemnified Party under this Section 7
shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action or
other proceeding against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity
may be sought under this Section 7, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of
the commencement thereof. The omission of any Indemnified Party so to notify the
Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section
7 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the Indemnifying
18
Party's forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. In case any such action or
other proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall
notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any
Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to
participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action or
proceeding in which both the Indemnifying Party and an Indemnified Party is, or
is reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party's expense and to
control its own defense of such action or proceeding if, in the opinion of
counsel to such Indemnified Party, (i) there are or may be legal defenses
available to such Indemnified Party or to other indemnified parties that are
different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party which
counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party is not pursuing to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Indemnified Party, or (ii) any conflict or potential
conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party that
would make such separate representation advisable; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Indemnifying Party be required to pay fees and expenses under
this Section 7 for more than one firm of attorneys representing the indemnified
parties in any jurisdiction in any one legal action or group of related legal
actions. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to
any matter subject to indemnification hereunder unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party
and each other Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise
out of such claim, action or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable for any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding effected against an
Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party's written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The rights accorded to indemnified
parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party
may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise. "Indemnifying Party"
means the Company as indemnifying party under Section 7.2, and the Buyer as
indemnifying party under Section 7.3, as the case may be.
