12 of 19
or the Selling Shareholders, and shall survive the Closing until one (1) year after the Closing, at which time such representations and warranties shall terminate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous sentence, any claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any such representation or warranty asserted in a writing (stating the nature of the claim, the identity of the underlying claimants, if applicable, and an estimate of the amount of the claim, if known) on or before the expiration of the relevant time period shall survive, and the representations and warranties referenced in such claim shall survive for purposes of such claim, until resolved or judicially determined.
9.02. Indemnification of Purchasers by Xxxx. Xxxx shall, to the extent not covered and promptly paid by applicable insurance, jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless, Purchasers and their past, present and future directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries and Affiliates (the “Purchasers Indemnified Parties”) for any and all loss, damage, expense (including court costs, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, attorneys’ fees and other expenses for investigating and defending), claim, deficiency, liability or obligation related to, resulting from, caused by or arising from (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company and Xxxx in Article II hereof or made by the Company in any other agreement, instrument or document delivered by the Company pursuant hereto, and (b) any failure to perform or breach by the Company of any covenant or agreement made by the Company herein or in any other agreement, instrument or document delivered by the Company or any of their respective Affiliates pursuant hereto (collectively, the “Damages”).
9.03. Indemnification of Purchasers by the Selling Shareholders. Each Selling Shareholder shall, to the extent not covered and promptly paid by applicable insurance, severally but not jointly, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchasers Indemnified Parties for any and all loss damage, expense (including court costs, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, attorneys’ fees and other expenses for investigating and defending), claim deficiency, liability or obligation related to, resulting from, caused by or arising from (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by such Selling Shareholder in Article III herein or in any other agreement, instrument or document delivered by such Selling Shareholder pursuant hereto, or (b) any failure to perform or breach by such Selling Shareholder of any covenant or agreement made by such Selling Shareholder herein or in any other agreement, instrument or document delivered by such Selling Shareholder or any of his, her or its Affiliates pursuant hereto.
9.04 Limitation of Damages. Notwithstanding Sections 9.02 and 9.03, the Company, Xxxx, and the Selling Shareholders shall not have any obligation to indemnify a Purchasers Indemnified Party from and against any Damages to the extent the Damages the Purchasers Indemnified Parties have suffered exceed an aggregate ceiling equal to $160,000 (the “Cap”) (after which point the Company, Xxxx, and the Selling Shareholders will have no obligation to indemnify the Purchasers Indemnified Parties from and against such further Damages); provided, however, that in no event shall Xxxxxxxx be liable under Section 9.04 for any amount greater than his respective portion of the Share Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, any limitations on the indemnification obligations of any Party as set forth this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any Damages arising directly or indirectly from any circumstance involving intentional misrepresentation or fraud.
9.05. Indemnification by Purchasers. Purchasers, severally but not jointly, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Selling Shareholders (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) for any and all loss, damage, expense (including court costs, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, attorneys’ fees and other expenses for investigating and defending), suit, action, claim, deficiency, liability or obligation related to, caused by or arising from any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty, any failure to perform or breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Purchasers herein or in any other agreement, instrument or document delivered by Purchasers pursuant hereto, and any and all claims made in good faith based upon facts alleged that, if true, would have constituted any such
13 of 19
misrepresentation, breach or failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Purchasers be liable for any amount greater that their respective portion of the Share Purchase Price, minus any respective amounts paid to the Selling Shareholders by the respective Purchaser.
9.06. Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims Against Indemnified Parties.
(a) If subsequent to the Closing any Person (“Indemnified Party”) asserts a claim for indemnification or receives notice of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by any entity which is not a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Authority) (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party, with respect to which Purchasers or the Selling Shareholders (“Indemnifying Party”) are required to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice together with a statement of any available information regarding such claim (the “Notice of Claim”) to the Indemnifying Party promptly after learning of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (the “Defense Notice”) promptly after receipt from the Indemnified Party of the Notice of Claim, to conduct at its expense the defense against such claim in its own name, or, if necessary, in the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the defense counsel representing the Indemnifying Party (the “Defense Counsel”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in the event the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot agree upon such counsel within ten days after the Defense Notice is provided, then Indemnifying Party shall propose an alternate Defense Counsel, which shall be subject again to the Indemnified Party’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim for which it has assumed the defense pursuant to this Section 9.06(a) without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent thereto, unless the terms of such settlement or compromise discharge and release the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations thereunder and do not involve a remedy other than the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party.
(b) If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to give the Defense Notice within the time and as prescribed by Section 9.06(a), or such claim involves a claim for injunctive or other equitable relief affecting Purchasers, then in any such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct such defense, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in good faith with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnified Party shall be prohibited from compromising or settling the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnified Party conducts the defense pursuant to this Section 9.06(b), the Indemnifying Party will, at its expense, make available to the Indemnified Party such assistance and materials as the Indemnified Party may reasonably request.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party does deliver a Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Regardless of which Party defends such claim, the other Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. Notwithstanding the foregoing and if the Indemnifying Party delivers a Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim but does not proceed diligently to defend or settle such Third Party Claim within a reasonable time after its receipt of notice of the assertion or commencement thereof, then (a) the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake at the expense of the Indemnifying Party the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim for the account and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party, and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make as to such Third Party Claim. No delivery of a Defense Notice by an Indemnifying Party in connection with a Third Party Claim shall prejudice any right of such Indemnifying Party to challenge whether the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim.
14 of 19
(d) Any judgment entered or settlement agreed upon in the manner provided herein shall be binding upon the Indemnifying Party, and shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to prompt indemnification hereunder, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to appeal an appealable judgment or order.
9.07. Failure to Give Timely Notice. A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Article IX will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such was actually damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Section 9.07 shall be deemed to extend any of the time periods set forth in Section 9.01 with respect to the survival of representations and warranties.
9.08. Insurance. If an Indemnified Party both collects proceeds from any insurance company and receives a payment from the Indemnifying Party hereunder, and the sum of such proceeds and payment is in excess of the Damages or losses with respect to the matter that is the subject of the indemnity, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly refund to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such excess.
