The Buyer has conducted sufficient due diligence regarding this transaction and waives any claims for actions which occurred prior to the closing which could have reasonably been discovered during due diligence. The foregoing notwithstanding, no claims shall be waived if the Sellers or the Company have intentionally concealed any material fact.
8.2 Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Company and its respective employees, agents, attorneys, and representatives, harmless from and against any damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) which may be sustained or suffered by the Company arising out of, based upon, or by reason of a breach of any representation or warranty, or a failure to perform any agreement or covenant, made by the Buyer in this Agreement.

Each party to this Agreement shall give prompt written notice to the other party or parties to this Agreement under each claim for indemnification hereunder specifying the amount and nature of the claim, and of any matter which is likely to give rise to an indemnification claim. Each party to this Agreement has the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such matter or its settlement, or the indemnified party may direct the indemnifying party to take over the defense of such matter so long as such defense is expeditious. Failure to give timely notice of a matter which may give rise to an indemnification claim shall not affect the rights of the indemnified party to collect such claims from the indemnifying party so long as such failure to so notify does not materially adversely affect the indemnifying party's ability to defend such claim against a third party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of an indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement by which such indemnified party is to be bound and which judgment or settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
