The foregoing indemnity includes all costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
11. INDEMNIFICATION AND SETOFF.
11.1 Indemnification by the Sellers. The Sellers, the Company hereby agree jointly and severally, to defend, indemnify and hold Buyer, the Company and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, 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 Buyer or 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 Sellers in this Agreement.
11.2 Indemnification by the Buyer. The Buyer hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Sellers and their 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 Sellers 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 or in any exhibit, schedule, certificate or financial statement delivered hereunder, or arising out of, based upon, or by reason of any claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted growing out of any matter or thing covered by such breached representations, warranties or covenants; provided, however, that (a) no indemnification shall be payable with respect to any claim for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant asserted by any Party after the Cut-Off Date or such later survival date as is prescribed for such representation, warranty or covenant in the proviso of the first sentence of Section 10.1 hereof and (b) no indemnification shall be payable by any Party except to the extent that the total of claims for indemnification shall exceed the Purchase Price and set forth herein.

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.

Specific Performance; Damages
|
In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of Section 6 hereof, Employee agrees that the injury which could be suffered by SSI (which for purposes of this Section 9 shall include SSI's successor-in-interest, subsidiaries and affiliates) would be of a character which could not be fully compensated for solely by a recovery of monetary damages.
