group health plan (as such term is defined in Sections 601 et. seq. of ERISA)
which exists or which shall be created by the Buying Companies for this purpose
on terms and conditions which are substantially equivalent to the terms and
conditions applicable to other, similarly situated, Employees of Buyer; provided

Parent shall cooperate with each other in the handling of insurance claims
relating to the Business that straddles the Closing Date.

also acknowledge that both Seller's Parent and Buyer's Parent maintain
centralized cash management programs for their respective affiliated groups.
Because of Seller's Parent's centralized cash management system, the Acquired
Companies may have a negative cash balance on their books, such negative cash
balance is not intended to become a liability of the Buying Companies. To the
fullest extent practicable, Seller's Parent shall cause all intercompany
receivables and payables involving the Acquired Companies to be satisfied by
Closing. Seller's Parent and Buyer's Parent shall cooperate with each other in

Indemnified Party's ability to seek reimbursement unless such failure has
materially and adversely affected the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend
successfully a Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to contest and
defend such Claim. The Notifying Party shall be entitled at any time, at its own
cost and expense (which expense shall not constitute a Buyer Loss or an Seller
Loss unless the Notifying Party reasonably determines, on the written advice of
counsel, that the Indemnifying Party, because of a conflict of interest, may not
adequately represent, any interests of the Indemnified Parties, and only to the
extent that such expenses are reasonable), to participate in such contest and
defense and to be represented by attorneys of its or their own choosing. If the
Notifying Party elects to participate in such defense, the Notifying Party will
cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of such defense. Neither
the Notifying Party nor the Indemnifying Party may concede, settle or compromise
any Claim without the consent of the other party, which consents will not be
unreasonably withheld.
(b) After the Closing, the rights set forth in this Article IX shall be
each party's sole and exclusive remedies against the other party hereto for
misrepresentations or breaches of covenants contained in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent any of the
Indemnified Parties from bringing an action based upon allegations of fraud,
intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach of an obligation by any
party to this Agreement and the limitations set forth in this Article IX shall
not apply thereto. The time limits set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02(b), the
Basket Amount and the Cap Amount shall not apply in the case of any
indemnification relating to title to the Shares.
(c) Any indemnification payable under this Article IX shall be, to the
extent permitted by law, an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
