to Seller (excluding the Assumed Liabilities).
8.2. Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article, Buyer
hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its directors, officers, agents, attorneys
and affiliates (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against all Damages asserted
against or incurred by any of such indemnitees by reason of or resulting from: (a) any Breach of
any representation, warranty or covenant of the Buyer contained herein or in any exhibit, schedule
or certificate delivered hereunder; or (b) the failure of Buyer to pay, perform and discharge when
due any of the Assumed Liabilities.
8.3. Limitations.
(a) Seller shall not be required to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 8.1
for breaches of representations and warranties until the Damages, individually or in the aggregate,
incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 8.1 exceed $250,000 (the “Seller De
Minimis”); it being agreed and understood that all Damages for breaches of representations and
warranties incurred by Buyer shall accumulate until such time or times that such accumulated
Damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceed the Seller De Minimis, whereupon the Buyer
Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from Seller as provided in Section 8.1 for
all such Damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in excess of the Seller De Minimis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified

aggregate, incurred by Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 8.2 exceed $250,000 (the “Buyer De
Minimis”); it being agreed and understood that all Damages for breaches of representations and

13
incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties in excess of the Buyer De Minimis. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties for any amount

8.4. Third-Party Indemnification. The respective obligations and liabilities of the Seller
and Buyer (the “indemnifying party”) to the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified
Parties, as appropriate (the “party to be indemnified”), under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 with respect to
Claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties shall be subject to the following
terms and conditions:
(a) As soon as practicable after receipt of notice of commencement of any action evidenced by
service of process or other legal pleading, the party to be indemnified shall give the indemnifying
party written notice thereof together with a copy of such claim, process or other legal pleading.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,
shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the party to be indemnified. The
indemnifying party shall have the right to undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its
own choosing and at its own expense; provided that the party to be indemnified may participate in
the defense with counsel of its own choice, the fees and expenses of which counsel shall be paid by
the party to be indemnified unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and
expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action or (iii) the
party to be indemnified has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party
(in which case, if the party to be indemnified informs the indemnifying party in writing that it
elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the party to be
indemnified, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection
with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the party
to be indemnified, which firm shall be designated in writing by the party to be indemnified.
(b) In the event that the indemnifying party, by the 30th day after receipt of notice of any
such claim (or, if earlier, by the 10th day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading
must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the person asserting such
claim), does not elect to defend against such claim, the party to be indemnified will (upon further
notice to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement
of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party and at the
indemnifying party’s expense, subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume the defense
of such claims at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim without
the prior consent of the party to be indemnified; provided, however, that such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
14
(d) The party to be indemnified and the indemnifying party will each cooperate with all
reasonable requests of the other with respect to any claim as described in this Section 8.4.
8.5. No Right of Setoff. Buyer shall not have the right to withhold or deduct any amounts
owed or claimed to be owed to Buyer by Seller from any amounts owed to Seller by Buyer. Seller
shall not have the right to withhold or deduct any amounts owed or claimed to be owed to Seller by
Buyer from any amounts owed to Buyer by Seller.
8.6. Waiver. No waiver by any Party of any default or breach by another Party of any
representation, warranty, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement, any exhibit or any
document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent default or breach by such Party of the same or any other representation, warranty,
covenant or condition. No act, delay, omission or course of dealing on the part of any Party in
exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or at law or in equity shall operate as
a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice any of such Party’s rights, powers and remedies. All
remedies, whether at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and the election of any one or more
shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.
8.7. Remedies Exclusive. The remedies provided in this Article VIII shall be the exclusive
rights and remedies available to one party against the other for any claim related to the matters
set forth in Sections 8.1 or 8.2.
8.8. Disclosure of Breaches. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to
the extent that any party to be indemnified has knowledge prior to the Closing of any facts that
form the basis for a claim for indemnity under this Article VIII, then such party to be indemnified
shall not be entitled to be indemnified for any such claim; it being agreed and understood that
indemnifying party shall have the burden of proof to show that such knowledge existed.
