or
thereby. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each

or asserted liability) for which the Company or any of its officers, employees
or representatives is responsible.
2.8 Offering
Exemption. Assuming
the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in
Section 3, the offer and sale of the Purchased Securities as contemplated
hereby

qualified (or exempt from registration or qualification) under applicable

their respective officers, directors, partners (general and limited), employees,
agents, attorneys successors and assigns (each a “Purchaser Entity”)
harmless from and against all Losses incurred or suffered by a Purchaser
Entity
as a result of the breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents, except to the extent that such Losses are the result
of
the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Purchaser
Entity. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify,
defend and hold the Company, its affiliates, their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns (each a
“Company Entity”) harmless against all Losses as a result of the breach
of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by
such
Purchaser in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except
to
the extent that such Losses are a result of the gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud of such Company Entity.
6.2 Indemnification
Principles. For
purposes of this Section 6, “Losses” shall mean each and all of the
following items: claims, losses (including, without limitation,
losses of earnings), liabilities, obligations, payments, damages (actual,
punitive or consequential to the extent provided in this Section 6.2), charges,
judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, interest which may be imposed in connection
therewith, costs and expenses of investigation, actions, suits, proceedings,
demands, assessments and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel,
consultants and other experts). Each Purchaser and the Company hereby
agree that Losses shall not include punitive or consequential damages except
to
the extent that such Losses are the result of the gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud of the party from whom the indemnification is being sought
(the “Indemnifying Party”).
6.3 Claim
Notice; Right to Defend. A
party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) under this
Section 6 shall promptly upon becoming aware of the facts indicating that
a
claim for indemnification may be warranted, give to the Indemnifying Party
a
claim notice relating to such Loss (a “Claim Notice”). Each
Claim Notice shall specify the nature of the claim, the applicable provision(s)
of this Agreement or other instrument under which the claim for indemnity
arises, and, if possible, the amount or the estimated amount
thereof. No failure or delay in giving a Claim Notice (so long as the
same is given prior to expiration of the representation or warranty upon
which
the claim is based) and no failure to include any specific information relating
to the claim (such as the amount or estimated amount thereof) or any reference
to any provision of this Agreement or other instrument under which the claim
arises shall affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party unless such
failure
materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. If such
Loss relates to the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third person,
the Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party
regarding such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled
to participate therein to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After the delivery of notice
from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume
the defense of such action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall not
be
liable (except to the extent the proviso to this sentence is applicable,
in
which event it will be so liable) to the Indemnified Party under this Section
8
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified
Party
in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation, provided that each Indemnified Party shall have the right
to employ separate counsel to represent it and assume its defense (in which
case, the Indemnifying Party shall not represent it) if (i) upon the advice
of
counsel, the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them,
(ii)
in the event the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof within
10 days of receipt of notice of such claim or commencement of action, and
in
which case the fees and expenses of one such separate counsel shall be paid
by
the Indemnifying Party or (iii) if such Indemnified Party who is a defendant
in
any action or proceeding which is also brought against the Indemnifying Party
reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to such Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying
Party. If any Indemnified Party employs such separate counsel it will
not enter into any settlement agreement which is not approved by the
Indemnifying Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If
the Indemnifying Party so assumes the defense thereof, it may not agree to
any
settlement of any such claim or action as the result of which any remedy
or
relief, other than monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall
be
responsible hereunder, shall be applied to or against the Indemnified Party,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. In any
action hereunder as to which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnified Party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense

as
a result of any such breach and/or an action for specific performance of
any
such covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in the Transaction
