8.4 Indemnification Procedure.

 

8.4.1 Promptly following receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third party (including any Governmental Entity) of any complaint or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or Proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment from the other Party for any Purchaser Loss or Seller Loss (as the case may be), such Indemnified Party shall notify the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such complaint or notice of the commencement of such audit, investigation, action or Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party results in harm to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days thereafter assuming full responsibility for any Purchaser Losses or Seller Losses (as the case may be) resulting from such audit, investigation, action or Proceeding, assume the defense of such audit, investigation, action or Proceeding, to the extent such audit, investigation, action or Proceeding involves solely monetary damages, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume the defense of any audit, investigation, action or Proceeding if (i) such Claim may result in criminal liability of, or equitable remedies against, the Indemnified Party; or (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the interests of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such Claim are in conflict with one another, and as a result, the Indemnifying Party may not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Party in such Claim. If, however, the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume, or is not permitted to assume, the defense of the audit, investigation, action or Proceeding on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such twenty (20) day period, or if the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the audit, investigation, action or Proceeding in accordance with the preceding sentence, then such Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such audit, investigation, action or Proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel for the Indemnified Party as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single audit, investigation, action or Proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently prosecute the defense of any audit, investigation, action or Proceeding, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise, and defend such audit, investigation, action or Proceeding and seek indemnification for any and all Claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, penalties, fines, judgments and fees based upon, arising from or relating to such audit, investigation, action or Proceeding. In any audit, investigation, action or Proceeding for which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, may participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

8.4.2 No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any audit, investigation, action or Proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume, or is not permitted to assume, and maintain the defense of such Claim pursuant to Section 8.4.1 or (ii) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its officers, directors, managers, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of such Claim. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its officers, directors, managers, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of such Claim, (y) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (z) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

 

8.4.3 If an Indemnified Party Claims a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such Claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify the basis for such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE 8 or the amount thereof, the Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE 8, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Claim (or any portion of the Claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Claim (or such portion of such Claim) becomes finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Claim as provided above, as promptly as possible, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such Claim (by mutual agreement, litigation, arbitration or otherwise) and, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the merits and amount of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in immediately available funds an amount equal to such Claim as determined hereunder.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

Page 31 of 50

 

 

8.5 Claims Period. The Claims Period hereunder for shall begin on the date hereof and terminate twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, provided that, the covenants and agreements that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing Date shall survive for the period provided in such covenants and agreements, if any, or until fully performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, before the close of business on the last day of the applicable Claims Period, the Indemnifying Party is properly notified of a Claim for indemnity hereunder and such Claim is not finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such Claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such Claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

8.6 Liability Limits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be indemnified by the Seller under this ARTICLE 8 for any Purchaser Losses and no Seller Indemnified Party shall be indemnified by the Purchaser under this ARTICLE 8 for any Seller Losses with respect to any Claim unless such Claim involves Purchaser Losses or Seller Losses, as applicable, in excess of $50,000 (the “Deductible”), after which the Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall be obligated for such aggregate Purchaser Losses or Seller Losses, as applicable, from the first dollar.

 

8.6.1 The total aggregate amount of the liability of the Seller for Purchaser Losses pursuant to Section 8.1.1, Section 8.1.2 and Section 8.1.3 and of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2.1, shall be limited to $2,000,000 (the “Cap”).

 

8.6.2 Neither the Deductible nor the Cap shall apply to any Purchaser Losses or Seller Losses (i) which are not expressly subject to the Cap; or (ii) in respect of any fraud Claim.

 

8.6.3 Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 in respect of any Purchaser Loss or Seller Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnified Party (or the Company) in respect of any such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses before seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

 

8.6.4 In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, exemplary, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple (except to the extent such types of damages constitute losses to a third party as a result of any Claim).

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

Page 32 of 50

 

 

8.6.5 The amount of any indemnity obligation of any Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Parties provided in this Agreement shall be computed net of any insurance proceeds actually received by an Indemnified Party (net of any deductible amounts, increases in premiums and costs and expenses incurred with respect to such insurance Claims) in connection with or as a result of any Claim giving rise to an indemnification Claim hereunder. If the indemnity amount is paid to the Indemnified Parties by any Indemnifying Party prior to the Indemnified Party’s actual receipt of insurance proceeds related thereto, the Indemnified Party shall, if permissible by the terms of the applicable policy, assign its right to such insurance and allow the Indemnifying Party to pursue collection of such insurance proceeds or, if such payment has been made by any of the Indemnifying Parties, and an Indemnified Party subsequently receives such insurance proceeds, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to or at the direction of the Indemnifying Party the amount of such insurance proceeds subsequently received (net of all related costs, expenses and other losses), but not more, in the aggregate, than the indemnity amount paid by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Party shall be required to (i) pursue such insurance prior to seeking indemnification under this ARTICLE 8 or (ii) commence litigation to recover proceeds under such insurance policies if it is unreasonable do so.

 

8.6.6 No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any loss in respect of any Claim to the extent that (i) such loss would not have arisen but for the enactment of any legislation not in effect on the Closing Date or any change of any Law or administrative practice of any Governmental Entity after the Closing Date or any change in any generally accepted accounting principles after the Closing Date, including in each case any legislation or change which takes effect retrospectively, (ii) such loss has arisen as a result of any act or omission by the party seeking indemnification on or after the Closing Date (including without limitation resulting from any change in accounting principles, practices or methodologies) and to the extent of any loss arising from any breach by the party seeking indemnification of its obligations under this Agreement (provided such party’s breach is a principal cause or principal contributing factor to such party’s Losses related thereto), and (iii) such loss is offset by a corresponding gain accruing after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, to the benefit of the party seeking indemnification, as a direct result of the act, matter, omission or circumstance giving rise to such loss.

 

8.7 Exclusive Remedy. The Parties agree that, excluding (a) any Claim for injunctive or other equitable relief or (b) any Claim related to fraud by any of the Seller, the Company or the Purchaser in connection with the transactions related to this Agreement, and any Right of Set Off applicable to the Purchaser, the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE 8 are intended to provide the sole and exclusive remedy as to all Claims either the Seller, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, may incur arising under, from, out of or relating to this Agreement or to the purchase and sale of the Company. Neither Party nor any other Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract or tort, by law or equity. All such other entitlements, remedies and recourse are expressly waived and released by the Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Except as otherwise set out in the first sentence in this Section 8.7, the Parties agree that neither Party shall have any remedies or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth in this Agreement.

10.17 No Presumption from Drafting. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length between Persons knowledgeable in the matters set forth within this Agreement. Accordingly, given that all Parties have had the opportunity to draft, review and/or edit the language of this Agreement, no presumption for or against any Party arising out of drafting all or any part of this Agreement will be applied in any action relating to, connected with or involving this Agreement. In particular, any rule of law, legal decisions, or common law principles of similar effect that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that has drafted it, is of no application and is hereby expressly waived. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to affect the intentions of the Parties.

Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party, each other Party shall re execute the original form of this Agreement and deliver such form to all other Parties. No Party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
