ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
7.01 Indemnification. The Company and Purchaser agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party and such other party’s directors, officers, employees, partners, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims, causes of action, losses, costs, damages, deficiencies or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively “Damages”), arising from or related to any and all material misrepresentations or breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of such party set forth in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements furnished to such party in connection with this Agreement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that this indemnification obligation will survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment and performance of all obligations under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
7.02 Notice. Each indemnified party agrees to give the other party prompt written notice of any event or assertion of which it has knowledge concerning any Damages or other obligation and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder. A failure to give timely notice or to provide copies of documents or to furnish relevant data in connection with any third party claim by a party who suffers Damages will not constitute a defense (in part or in whole) to any claim for indemnification by such party, except and only to the extent that such failure shall result in material prejudice to the indemnifying party.
7.03 Defense. In the event the indemnifying party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Article VII with respect to any claim, action or proceeding involving any third party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in any investigation of such claim, action or proceeding and, upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the investigation and defense of such claim, action, or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its expense, provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party.

or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
8.01 Termination. The obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated and abandoned at any time at or before the Closing only as follows:
(a) By and at the option of Purchaser, upon written notice to the Company if: (i) any warranty, representation or other statement by or on behalf of the Company contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements is false or misleading in any material respect at the time made, or (ii) the Company defaults in the performance or observance of any covenant, condition, undertaking or agreement contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.
(b) By and at the option of the Company, upon written notice to Purchaser if: (i) any warranty, representation or other statement by or on behalf of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements is false or misleading in any material respect at the time made, or (ii) Purchaser defaults in the performance or observance of any covenant, condition, undertaking or agreement contained in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

At any time upon the mutual consent of the Company and Purchaser. |
8.02 Effect of Termination. Each Party’s right of termination under Section 8.01 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Section 6.07 and Section 9.12 will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by a party because of the breach of the Agreement by the other party or because one or more of the conditions to the terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
