10.2 Purchaser’s Default. If at any time prior to Closing, there shall have been a breach or default by Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement which breach or default (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition to the Closing hereunder, (B) either (1) cannot be cured or (2) if it can be cured, has not been cured prior to the first to occur of 5:00 p.m. on the date that is twenty (20) days following receipt by the Purchaser and Securities Sellers of written notice of such breach or 5:00 p.m. on the date immediately preceding the Termination Date, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (C) is not caused by a Seller’s Default (a “Purchaser’s Default”), and no Seller’s Default has occurred which remains uncured, then Seller may elect, subject to the written consent of Securities Sellers, to (i) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser and Securities Sellers, in which case the Deposit actually paid by Purchaser shall be disbursed to Securities Sellers in accordance with and subject to Section 3.2.3 and Section 13.18, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except as provided herein), (ii) proceed to Closing without any adjustment in Purchase Price (except as contemplated in Section 3.1.1), (iii) provide written notice to Purchaser, Securities Sellers and Escrow Agent in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 3.2.3 and Section 13.18 hereof, in which case, subject to the provisions of the foregoing referenced Sections, the Deposit shall be disbursed to Securities Sellers, and obtain a court order for specific performance; or (iv) in the event specific performance is not an available remedy, Seller shall have the right to the Deposit. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of Securities Sellers pursuant to their rights under Section 13.18 to seek specific performance of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall be in addition to Securities Sellers’ right to receive the Deposit pursuant to Section 3.2.3 hereof; provided, however, that if Securities Sellers are granted specific performance, then the Deposit shall be applied toward the Purchase Price otherwise due and payable from Purchaser.

11.2 Condemnation. If, at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to Closing, any Governmental Authority commences any Condemnation, Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of such Condemnation promptly following receipt of notice of the same from Securities Sellers.

ARTICLE XII
SURVIVAL, INDEMNIFICATION AND RELEASE
12.1 Survival. Each Party’s respective obligations in respect of the representations and warranties set forth in Article V hereof are updated as of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and shall survive Closing for a period of twenty-four (24) months (the “Survival Period”). Each Party shall have no liability to the other Party for a breach of any representation or warranty unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by the non-breaching Party to the other Party prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and an action shall have been commenced by the non-breaching Party against the other Party within six (6) months of the expiration of such Survival Period (the “Action Period”).
12.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XII and any other express provision of this Agreement, following the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser’s Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller in this Agreement and/or (ii) any breach by Seller of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive Closing. No claim for any of the foregoing shall be actionable or payable if the item in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was actually known to Purchaser prior to Closing. Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser for any Indemnification Claim unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such Indemnification Claim shall have been given by Purchaser to Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and an action shall
-37-
have been commenced by Purchaser against Seller within the Action Period, in which event the full amount of such valid Indemnification Claims shall be actionable. Purchaser agrees to first seek recovery under any insurance policies and service contracts prior to seeking recovery from Seller, and Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser if Purchaser’s Indemnification Claim is satisfied from such insurance policies or service contracts.
12.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XII, following Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller’s Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Seller’s Indemnitee to the extent resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser in this Agreement, and/or (ii) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive Closing. No claim for any of the foregoing shall be actionable or payable if the item in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was actually known to Seller prior to Closing. Purchaser shall have no liability to Seller for any Indemnification Claim unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such Indemnification Claim shall have been given by Seller to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and an action shall have been commenced by Seller against Purchaser within the Action Period, in which event the full amount of such valid Indemnification Claims shall be actionable. Seller agrees to first seek recovery under any insurance policies and service contracts prior to seeking recovery from Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller if Seller’s Indemnification Claim is satisfied from such insurance policies or service contracts.
12.4 Indemnification Procedure; Notice of Indemnification Claim.
12.4.1 If any of Seller’s Indemnitees or Purchaser’s Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an “Indemnitee”) is entitled to defense or indemnification under any other provision in this Agreement (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), the Party required to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee until such Indemnitee provides written Notice to such Indemnitor after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances on which such Indemnification Claim is based or a Third-Party Claim is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor thereby is prejudiced.
12.4.2 Any Indemnitor will have the right to defend the Indemnitee against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice satisfactory to the Indemnitee so long as (i) the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnitee has given Notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnitor will indemnify the Indemnitee from and against the entirety of any Indemnification Loss the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnitor provides the Indemnitee with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the
-38-
Indemnitee, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnitee, and (v) the Indemnitor conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently.
12.4.3 So long as the Indemnitor is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 12.4.2 above, (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnitee will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee.
12.4.4 In the event any of the conditions in Section 12.4.2 is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (i) the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnitor in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnitor will remain responsible for any Indemnification Loss the Indemnitee may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article XII.
12.5 Exclusive Remedy for Indemnification Loss; Interpretation. If Closing occurs, except for claims based on fraud, the indemnification provisions in this Article XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement. The Parties shall take into account the time cost of money (using the prime rate as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal as the discount rate) in determining Indemnification Loss for purposes of this Article XII. All indemnification payments under this Article XII shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.
12.6 Securities Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, a Buyer Indemnified Party (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), has the right to assign one or more of its indemnification rights under Article VIII of the Securities Purchase Agreement to Buyer, in which event Buyer shall have the indemnification rights and obligations under such Article VIII associated therewith. Accordingly, Seller does hereby assign to Purchaser all indemnification rights and obligations of a Buyer Indemnified Party under Article VIII of the Securities Purchase Agreement that relate to a Loss (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) that is actually suffered by Purchaser. This provision shall expressly survive termination of this Agreement and Closing of the transaction hereunder and shall not be subject to the Survival Period.
