(including, but not limited to, statements contained in any exhibit, schedule or
certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of any party hereto or
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) shall survive each of
the Closing Dates notwithstanding any investigations, inspections, examinations
or audits made by or on behalf of any party.
6.2 Indemnification. Confecciones Jamil S.A. de C.V. and its shareholders
---------------
and Inmobiliaria Xxxxxxx X.X. de C.V. and its shareholders (the "Indemnifying
Parties") respectively and only with regard to the assets that each of such
Sellers and its shareholders own and that are part of this agreement, jointly
and severally, respectively shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Purchaser and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys,
accountants, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns, and any person who
controls or is deemed to control any of them (the "Indemnified Parties"), from,
against and in respect of any and all payments, damages, claims, demands,
losses, expenses, costs, obligations and
12
liabilities (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs, and the costs of investigation and preparation) (a "Loss") which,
directly or indirectly, arise or result from or are related to any breach by any
of the Indemnifying Parties of any of its or his representations, warranties,
covenants or commitments under this Agreement or the Labor Agreement. The
Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall reimburse each Indemnified
Party on demand for any payment made or loss suffered by it at any time after
the date hereof, based upon the judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction
or pursuant to a bona fide compromise or settlement of claims, demands or
actions in respect of any damages to which the foregoing indemnity relates.
Consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder shall not be deemed or
construed to be a waiver of any right or remedy of any Indemnified Party, nor
shall this section or any other provision of this Agreement be deemed or
construed to be a waiver of any ground of defense by it. The obligation to
advance or pay promptly on demand all amounts as they are incurred shall exist
irrespective of the ultimate final judicial determination, and in the event of a
dispute about amounts owed, such amounts shall be advanced as they are incurred
pending resolution and final judicial determination. The Indemnifying Parties'
obligations hereunder shall be in addition to any liability that they or any
other person otherwise may have to the Indemnified Parties, and shall be binding
upon, and inure to the benefit of, their heirs, representatives, successors and
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, representatives,
successors and assigns of each Indemnified Party.
6.3 Third-Party Claims. The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
------------------
Indemnifying Parties of the existence of any claim, demand or other matter
involving liabilities to third parties to which the Indemnifying Parties'
indemnification obligations could apply and shall give the Indemnifying Parties
a reasonable opportunity to defend the same at their expense and with counsel of
their own selection (who shall be approved by the Indemnified Party, which
approval shall not be withheld unreasonably); provided, however, that (i) the
--------
Indemnified Party shall at all times also have the right to fully participate in
the defense at its own expense, (ii) if, in the reasonable judgment of the
Indemnified Party, based upon the written advice of counsel, a conflict of
interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and any of the Indemnifying
Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume such
defense on behalf of such Indemnified Party and (iii) the failure to so notify
the Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties from any
liabilities that they may have hereunder or otherwise, except to the extent that
such failure so to notify the Indemnifying Parties materially prejudices the
rights of the Indemnifying Parties. If the Indemnifying Parties shall, within a
reasonable time after said notice, fail to defend, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of, and to
compromise or settle the claim or other matter on behalf, for the account and at
the risk and expense of the Indemnifying Parties. The Indemnifying Parties
shall not compromise or settle the claim or other matter without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Parties. If the claim is one that cannot by
its nature be defended solely by the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnified
Parties shall make available all information and assistance that the
Indemnifying Parties may reasonably request; provided, however, that any
--------
associated expenses shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties as incurred.
