- INDEMNIFICATION.

Except for the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.22 which shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations, all representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive three years from the Closing.
10.2 SELLERS' INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION. Sellers hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, and hold Buyer and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing Persons ("Buyer Indemnified Parties") harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, costs, expenses, damages, judgments, awards, claims, causes of action, actions, liens and deficiencies which exist, or which are imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any one or more of
the Buyer Indemnified Parties, based upon, resulting from or arising out of (i) any material breach of any representation, warranty or statement by Sellers, in this Agreement and (ii) any breach of or default in the performance of any agreement, covenant or obligation of any Seller under this Agreement, or any certificate or document delivered by any Seller in connection herewith or therewith. Claims for indemnification hereunder may be made regardless of whether or not the matter giving rise to such claims would constitute a breach of a representation or warranty made in Section 3 hereof. No Buyer Indemnified Party shall be required to make any claim or demand against any Seller or any other Person prior to the making of any claim or demand for indemnification or at any other time. The rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Section 10 are in addition to such other rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
10.3 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS.
(a) If at any time any of Buyer Indemnified Parties determines to assert a right to indemnification hereunder, the Buyer Indemnified Party will give Sellers written notice of such determination.
(b) Within 10 days after receipt of the notice referred to in clause (a) above, Sellers will (i) acknowledge in writing the responsibility of Sellers for all or part of such matter, and will pay or otherwise satisfy the portion of such matter as to which responsibility is acknowledged or take such other action as is reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer Indemnified Party to resolve any such matter that involves any Person not a party hereto, or (ii) give written notice to the Buyer Indemnified Party of Sellers' intention to dispute or contest all or part of such responsibility. Upon delivery of such notice of intention to contest, the parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve as promptly as possible any dispute as to responsibility for, or the amount of, any such matter. Failure to respond during the period specified above to a notice claiming indemnification will be deemed an admission of responsibility therefor.
(c) Sellers shall have the right, at their sole expense, to control the defense of any claim brought by any third party (as to which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 10) with a single counsel of Sellers' choice, and shall have the right in their sole discretion to settle or otherwise protect against the imposition of liability with respect to such claim, in each case; provided, however, that:
(i) the Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assert any and all cross-claims and counterclaims it may have;
(ii) Sellers shall obtain the prior written approval of each Buyer Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of any such claim or ceasing to defend against any such claim, if pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against such Buyer Indemnified Party or if such settlement or cessation could, in the reasonable opinion of Buyer, have a material adverse effect upon the business conducted by Buyer on an ongoing basis, which approval may be withheld in the discretion of such Buyer Indemnified Party;
(iii) Sellers shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Buyer Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim; and
(iv) at the election of the Buyer Indemnified Party, Sellers and Buyer Indemnified Party shall have joint control over the defense or settlement of any such claim, each party to employ counsel at its own expense, to the extent such claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against such Buyer Indemnified Party or, to the extent such claim could, in the reasonable opinion of Buyer, have a material adverse effect upon the business conducted by Buyer on an ongoing basis.
Each party hereto shall cooperate in good faith with, make its relevant files and records available for inspection and copying by, and make its employees available or otherwise render reasonable assistance to, the other party in its defense of any such claim. In the event Sellers shall fail promptly to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the imposition of any such damages as to any such claim, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, contest or assert any cross-claim or counter-claim or otherwise protect against such claim and may make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover and be indemnified for the entire cost thereof including, without limitation, from legal expenses, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such matter.
- 11.
- PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
11.1 PROSECUTION OF PATENTS. After the Closing Date Buyer or the Company shall have the sole right to file for, obtain, maintain, register and extend patent and other intellectual property protection for any and all of the Intellectual Property and to control the prosecution (including the abandonment of such prosecution) of applications or registrations therefor.
11.2 INFRINGEMENT NOTICE. For a period of one year after the Closing Date, Sellers shall or shall cause Beisang or Xxxxx to promptly inform Buyer by sending a notice in writing of any suspected infringement or misappropriation of any of the Intellectual Property.
11.3 ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS. If Buyer institutes suit or any other action against any Person with respect to any suspected infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property, Sellers, at the request of Buyer, shall or shall cause Beisang or Xxxxx to cooperate in the defense or settlement of such suit or action. Such defense shall be conducted solely by and at the direction of Buyer and Buyer shall exercise all control over such defense or settlement.
