this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder (even if the damaged party
knew or had reason to know of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or
covenant at the time of Closing) and continue in full force and effect for a
period of four (4) years after the Closing Date (subject to any applicable
statutes of limitations). The right to indemnification, payment of
Losses or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to,
or any knowledge of the party entitled to such right to indemnification acquired
(or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing
Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any
condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the
performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect
the right to indemnification, payment of Losses, or other remedies based on such
representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
8.2
Indemnification.
(a)
By Company and the Selling
Stockholder. Subject to Section 8.3, the Company and the
Selling Stockholder, jointly and severally, hereby agree (without duplication)
to indemnify, protect, defend (at Parent’s request), release and hold Parent and
its directors, officers, managers, members, employees, agents, successors,
Affiliates and assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified
Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred in
connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to:
39
(i)
any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty of the Company and the Selling Stockholder set forth in this Agreement
or contained in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Company pursuant to
this Agreement;
(ii)
any breach of any covenant or other agreement
made by the Company and the Selling Stockholder in or pursuant to this
Agreement;
(iii) any
Liability arising under or with respect to any and all Employee Plans, and any
Liability with respect to any of the Company’s employees, former employees or
service providers relating to acts or omissions which occurred on or prior to
the Closing Date;
(iv) any
claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar
payments based on any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by
such Person with the Company or the Selling Stockholder (or any Person acting
(or purportedly acting) on behalf of any such Person) in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or
(v)
any Loss, including Taxes, arising in
connection with any distributions made to Company Stockholders at any time prior
to and including the date of the Merger.
(b)
Indemnification by
Parent. Subject to Section 8.3, Parent hereby agrees (without
duplication) to indemnify, protect, defend (at the Company’s request), release
and hold the Selling Stockholder, Company and its directors, officers,
stockholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the
“Company Indemnified
Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred in
connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to:
(i)
any breach or inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement
or contained in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Parent and Merger
Sub pursuant to this Agreement; or
(ii)
any breach of any covenant or
other agreement made by Parent and Merger Sub in or pursuant to this
Agreement.
(c)
The term “Losses” as used in this
Section 8.2 is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against any
indemnified party, but includes Losses incurred or sustained by an indemnified
party in the absence of third party claims. Payments by an
indemnified party of amounts for which such indemnified party is indemnified
under this Article 8 shall not be a condition precedent to
recovery.
8.3
Limitations on
Indemnification for Certain Breaches. An indemnifying party
shall not have any Liability under Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b) for any Claims
unless the aggregate amount of Losses to the indemnified parties finally
determined to arise thereunder exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the
“Indemnification
Threshold”), in which event the indemnifying party shall be required to
pay the full amount of such Losses in relating back to the first dollar; provided, however, that the
maximum liability of any Party hereunder shall be limited to the consideration
received and to be received by such Party under this Agreement, in the case of
the Company or the Selling Stockholder, or paid or to be paid by Parent
hereunder to the Company and the Selling Stockholder, in the case of Parent or
Merger Sub.
40
8.4
Indemnification
Procedures.
(a)
In the event that any Legal Proceeding
shall be instituted or any claim or demand shall be asserted (individually and
collectively, a “Claim”) by any Person
in respect of which payment may be sought under this Article 8 (regardless of
the provisions of Section 8.3), the indemnified party shall reasonably and
promptly cause written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of the
assertion of any Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this
indemnity to be delivered to the indemnifying party; provided, however, that the
failure of the indemnified party to give the Claim Notice shall not release,
waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect
thereto, except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual
loss and material prejudice as a result of such failure. If the
indemnifying party shall notify the indemnified party in writing within five (5)
Business Days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) that the
indemnifying party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder
in connection with such lawsuit or action, then the indemnifying party shall be
entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control
of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and
engage attorneys of its own choice, but, in any event, reasonably acceptable to
the indemnified party, to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to
such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party has been
advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more material legal
defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, in which event the
indemnified party shall be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and
expense, to a single firm of separate counsel (plus any necessary local
counsel), all at reasonable cost, of its own choosing, reasonably acceptable to
the indemnifying party and (iii) to compromise or settle such lawsuit or action,
which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the prior written consent
of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
8.5
If the indemnifying party elects not to defend
against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any
Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of
its election as provided in this Section 8.4 or contests its obligation to
indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the
indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with
such Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Claim, then the
indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the Losses incurred
in defending such Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the
indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the indemnified party
may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that such
indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with
separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by
the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of
counsel to the indemnified party, a material conflict or potential material
conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that
would make such separate representation required; and provided, further, that the
indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel
for all indemnified parties in connection with any Claim. If the
indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the indemnifying party
shall obtain the prior written consent of the indemnified party before entering
into any settlement of such Claim or ceasing to defend such Claim if, pursuant
to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable
relief shall be imposed against the indemnified party or if such settlement or
cessation does not expressly and unconditionally release the indemnified party
from all Liabilities or obligations with respect to such Claim, with
prejudice. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each
other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any
Claim.
41
8.6
Recoupment From Merger Cash
Consideration. Any
indemnification to which a Company Indemnified Party is entitled under this
Agreement as a result of any Losses it may suffer shall first be made as a
payment to such Company Indemnified Party from the next Merger Cash
Consideration payments to be made to the Selling Stockholder hereunder, which
shall reduce such Merger Cash Consideration payments accordingly until such
Losses are indemnified in full. To the extent that the aggregate
amount of such indemnification exceeds the future Merger Cash Consideration
payments to be received by the Selling Stockholder, the Company Indemnified
Party(ies) may recoup such unpaid Losses from the Selling Stockholder
directly.

set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party

condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, will be deemed to be
or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this

Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not
alternative.
10.7 Third Party
Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are
intended solely for the benefit of each Party hereto and their respective

confer third-party beneficiary rights, and this Agreement does not confer any
such rights, upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity
as described in Article 8.
10.8 No Assignment; Binding
Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or
obligation hereunder may be assigned (by operation of law or otherwise) by any

is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the Parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

headings and table of contents used in this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions
hereof.

Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the
rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be
materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully
severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the
remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and
will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by
its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a
legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect
to any choice of law or conflict of law provision.

sophisticated parties and individuals, all of whom were represented by counsel,
and each of whom had an opportunity to participate in and did participate in,
the drafting of each provision hereof. Accordingly, ambiguities in
this Agreement, if any, will not be construed strictly or in favor of or against
any Party hereto but rather will be given a fair and reasonable construction
without regard to the rule of contra proferentum.

successful party; and if such successful party shall recover judgment in any
such action or proceeding, such costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees
may be included in and as part of such judgment.
