INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 Survival of the Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the Company and the Key Holder (other than in its Capacity as the Purchaser) to the Purchasers or by a Purchaser to the Company shall expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing, except the Fundamental Representations, which shall expire on the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims which have been asserted in writing pursuant to Section 6.2 against the Party making such representations and warranties on or prior to such applicable expiration date shall continue to survive and be fully effective and enforceable until a final and nonappealable Order of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has been issued. The covenants and agreements of any Party contained in this Agreement shall survive the applicable Closing until they are terminated, whether by performance thereof, their express terms or as a matter of applicable Law.

Section 6.2 Indemnification. From and after the Closing, each Party, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), shall indemnify and hold the other Parties and their respective directors, officers and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, obligations, expenses and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to any investigative, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any pending or threatened legal action or proceeding, and any taxes or levies that may be payable by such person by reason of the indemnification of any indemnifiable loss hereunder (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of: (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement; or (ii) the violation or nonperformance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement of the Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement.

Section 6.3 Third Party Claims.

(a) If any third party shall notify any Indemnified Party in writing with respect to any matter involving a claim by such third party (a “Third Party Claim”) which such Indemnified Party believes would give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article VI, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly following receipt of notice of such claim (i) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay in providing such notice shall constitute a waiver or otherwise modify the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure or delay. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days from receipt of such Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim for indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim for indemnification under this Agreement.

(b) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claim Notice, notifying the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and upon delivery of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to fully control and settle the proceeding; provided, that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal action, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, (iii) the Third Party Claim is or would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of the amounts available for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.5 or (iv) the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged that such Third Party Claim is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 6.3(b), the Indemnifying Party shall conduct such defense in good faith.

(c) If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate reasonably with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including in connection with the making of any related counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any person. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to any Third Party Claim, other than any privileged communications between the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, and shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain separate co-counsel and participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 6.3(b).

(d) In the event of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense, fails to make such an election within the thirty (30) days of the Claim Notice or otherwise fails to continue the defense of the Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle, compromise or pay such action or claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 6.4 Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against the Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the Indemnified Party’s best estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement; provided, that no failure or delay in providing such notice shall constitute a waiver or otherwise modify the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure or delay. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim.

Section 6.5 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than with respect to fraud, breach of the Fundamental Representations and indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(ii), (i) no Party shall have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Losses unless the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds US$1,500,000 (in which case, the entire amount of Losses, subject to Section 6.5(ii) below, shall be payable by the liable Party), and (ii) the maximum liability for the Company and the Key Holder (other than in its capacity as the Purchaser) with respect to each Purchaser and the maximum liability for each Purchaser, in each case, shall not exceed an amount equal to 50% of such Purchaser’s Purchase Price. No Indemnifying Party shall be required to compensate any Indemnified Party more than once (whether under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) in respect of the same Loss.

Section 6.6 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 7.11 and other than with respect to fraud, from and after the Closing, this Article VI shall provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim resulting from or arising out of this Agreement.
