by Seller for services to be received after Transfer, and liabilities assumed

against, and will reimburse Buyer and its Affiliates the amount of, any claim,

attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incident to, and amounts
paid or required to be paid in settlement of, any claim, suit, action or
proceeding, including, without limitation, claims, suits, actions or proceedings
to enforce this indemnity obligation), whether or not involving a Third Party
Claim (a “Loss”), suffered, sustained, incurred, paid or required to be paid by
Buyer or its Affiliates which arises out of, results from or is related
to:
(i) the
breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (without giving effect
to
any supplement or bring down to the disclosure schedules at
Closing);
(ii) Taxes
(including sales and use Taxes) imposed on the Business or the Acquired Assets
or Buyer or any Affiliate thereof as a result of operations relating to the
Business conducted prior to the Closing Date,

claim
(known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether arising in contract,

relates to Seller, the Business, or the Acquired Assets (including any Acquired
Contract), in which the principal event giving rise thereto (i) occurred

Indemnification
Procedure--Third Party Claims.
(a) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of a claim from a third party
(a
“Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification
hereunder, such indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against an
indemnifying party, give notice to the indemnifying party of such Third Party
Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may
have
to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party
demonstrates that the defense of such action is materially prejudiced by the
indemnified party’s failure to give such notice, and then only to the extent of
such prejudice.
(b) Any
indemnifying party will have the right to defend the indemnified party against
the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to
the
indemnified party so long as (i) the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified
party in writing within ten (10) days after the indemnified party has given
notice of the Third Party Claim that the indemnifying party will indemnify
the
indemnified party from and against the entirety of any Loss the indemnified
party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature
of,
or caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the indemnifying party provides the
indemnified party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party
that the indemnifying party will have the financial resources to defend against
the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder,
(iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an
injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment
with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of
the
indemnified party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice
materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the indemnified
party, and (v) the indemnifying party conducts the defense of the Third
Party Claim actively and diligently.
23
(c) So
long
as the indemnifying party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim
in
accordance with Section 9.4(b) above, (i) the indemnified party may retain
separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense
of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the indemnified party will not consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third
Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (not
to

Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be set forth in a writing
duly executed by Seller and Buyer, and then only to the extent specifically

written consent of the other Party.
11.3

representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct
or
otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed a further or continuing
waiver of any condition or covenant, representation or warranty of this
Agreement. No course of dealing on the part of any Party (or their respective
officers, directors, employees, consultants and agents) nor any failure or
delay
by any Party with respect to exercising any of their respective rights, powers
or privileges under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof.

Except
as set forth herein, all rights, powers and remedies herein given to the Parties
are cumulative and not alternative, and are in addition to all statutes or
rules
of law; any forbearance or delay by any Party in exercising the same shall
not
be deemed to be a waiver thereof; and the exercise of any right or partial
exercise thereof shall not preclude the further exercise thereof, and the same
shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived by an
instrument in writing executed by Buyer or the Selling Parties, as the case
may
be.
