affiliates and any Person who controls IBAH within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any
liabilities, claims, demands, judgments, losses, costs, damages or expenses
whatsoever (including attorneys', consultants' and other professional fees and
disbursements of every kind, nature and description incurred by such Indemnified
Party in connection therewith) (collectively, "Damages") that such Indemnified
Party may sustain, suffer or incur and that result from, arise out of or relate
to:
(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of a Selling Party
set forth in any Transaction Document or any certificate or other writing
delivered by a Selling Party in connection herewith;
(b) any nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of
a Selling Party in any Transaction Document;
(c) the assertion against IBAH of any liability or obligation
relating to or arising out of the Business, operations or assets of the
Company prior to the Closing Date, other than those liabilities or
obligations that are disclosed in the Company Consolidated Financial
Statements, or incurred other than the ordinary course of business between
the date of the last Company Consolidated Financial Statements as
determined under Clause 6.7 and the Closing Date; or
(d) any liability or obligation which relates to, or which involves
a claim, liability or obligation which arises out of or is based upon, any
Environmental Law to the extent that such liability or obligation relates
to or arises out of, in whole or in part, any activity occurring,
condition existing, omission to act or other matter existing prior to the
Closing Date; and
(e) any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations,
demands, assessments, audits, fines, judgments, costs and other expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section
10.1.
10.2 By IBAH. From and after the Closing Date, to the extent provided in
this Section 10, IBAH shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, his
successors and assigns (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any
Damages that such Indemnified Party may sustain, suffer or incur and that result
from, arise out of or relate to any breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement of IBAH contained in this Agreement.
10.3 Procedure for Claims.
(a) An Indemnified Party that desires to seek indemnification under
any part of this Section 10 shall give notice (a "Claim Notice") to each party
responsible or alleged to be responsible for indemnification hereunder (an
"Indemnitor"). Such notice shall briefly explain the nature of the claim and
shall specify the amount thereof. If the matter to which a claim relates shall
not have been resolved as of the date of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party
shall estimate the amount of the claim in the Claim Notice, but also specify
therein that the claim has not yet been liquidated (an "Unliquidated Claim").
If an Indemnified Party gives a Claim Notice for an Unliquidated Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall also give a second Claim Notice (the "Liquidated Claim
Notice") within 60 days after the matter giving rise to the claim becomes
finally resolved, and the Second Claim Notice shall specify the amount of the
claim. Each Indemnitor to which a Claim Notice is given shall respond to any
Indemnified Party that has given a Claim Notice (a "Claim Response") within 20
days (the "Response Period") after the later of (i) the date that the Claim
Notice is given or (ii) if a Claim Notice is first given with respect to an
Unliquidated Claim, the date on which the Liquidated Claim Notice is given. Any
Claim Notice or Claim Response shall be given in accordance with the notice
requirements hereunder, and any Claim Response shall specify whether or not the
Indemnitor giving the Claim Response disputes the claim described in the Claim
Notice. If any Indemnitor fails to give a Claim Response within the Response
Period, such Indemnitor shall be deemed not to dispute the claim described in
the related Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor elects not to dispute a claim
described in a Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response
or otherwise, then the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed to be
an obligation of such Indemnitor.
(b) If any Indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified
Party hereunder, such Indemnitor shall pay to such Indemnified Party within 30
days after the last day of the Claim Response Period the amount to which such
Indemnified Party shall be entitled. If IBAH shall be the Indemnified Party,
it shall first request payment of the related Damages under the Escrow
Agreement, but only to the extent that Escrow Funds are then being held by the
Escrow Agent and are not subject to other claims for indemnification, and
thereafter IBAH shall seek
indemnification directly from the Selling Parties, including the offset of any
payments payable to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx pursuant to the terms of the Xxxxxx
Employment Agreement. If there shall be a dispute as to the amount or manner of
indemnification under this Section 10, the Indemnified Party may pursue whatever
legal remedies may be available for recovery of the Damages claimed from any
Indemnitor. If any Indemnified Party fails to receive all or part of any
indemnification obligation when due, then such Indemnified Party shall also be
entitled to receive from the applicable Indemnitor or, if applicable, the Escrow
Agent, interest on the unpaid amount for each day during which the obligation
remains unpaid at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, and the Prime Rate in
effect on the first business day of each calendar quarter shall apply to the
amount of the unpaid obligation during such calendar quarter.
10.4 Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Party that desires to seek
indemnification under any part of this Section 10 with respect to any actions,
suits or other administrative or judicial proceedings (each, an "Action") that
may be instituted by a third party shall give each Indemnitor prompt notice of a
third party's institution of such Action. After such notice, any Indemnitor
may, or if so requested by such Indemnified Party, any Indemnitor shall,
participate in such Action or assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that such Indemnified
Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of
such Action; and provided, further, that the Indemnitor shall not consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, except with the written
consent of such Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), that (a) fails to 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 of any such Action or (b) grants the claimant or plaintiff
any injunctive relief against the Indemnified Party. Any failure to give prompt
notice under this Section 10.4 shall not bar an Indemnified Party's right to
claim indemnification under this Section 10, except to the extent that an
Indemnitor shall have been harmed by such failure.
10.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and
warranties given or made by the Selling Parties and IBAH in this Agreement or in
any certificate or other writing furnished in connection herewith shall survive
the Closing indefinitely. Each party shall be entitled to rely upon the
representations and warranties of the other party or parties set forth herein
regardless of any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing
Date or the decision of any party to complete the Closing.
11. Termination.
11.1 When Agreement May be Terminated. This Agreement may be terminated:

(iii) by IBAH if there is a net loss reflected in the Closing
Financial Statements and the parties have not been able to reach mutual

Business that has had a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
11.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement

another party.
