All information obtained pursuant to this Section shall be Confidential Information and shall not be disclosed without the prior written consent of the Company, except as required by Applicable Law or administrative processes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to Closing, without prior written consent of the Company, which may be withheld for any reason, Purchaser shall not contact any suppliers to, or customers of, the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

          (b) From and after the Execution Date, Seller shall cooperate fully (and prior to the Closing shall cause the Company to cooperate fully), as and to the extent reasonably requested by the Purchaser, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns.

     5.8 Payment of Liabilities. Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Company to continue to pay its liabilities (other than liabilities which are Excluded Items) when and as they come due and in the ordinary course of business. Neither Purchaser nor the Company shall reduce, offset, deduct, settle or compromise such liabilities if such act would have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller. Following the Closing Date, Seller shall continue to pay the liabilities which are Excluded Items when and as they come due.

Purchase and Sale Agreement

29

recover monetary damages for a fraud claim under the U. S. Federal securities laws against Seller based on Seller’s Knowledge of a misstatement of a material fact made by the Company through its representations and warranties contained in Article III, as qualified by the Company’s disclosure schedules. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy in respect of any such fraud claim under the U.S. Federal securities laws against Seller shall be for monetary damages and shall be capped at the Purchase Price.

          (c) The Parties agree that the obligations of Purchaser to indemnify Seller pursuant to Section 8.1, on one hand, and Seller to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2, on the other hand, shall become operative after the aggregate amount of all claims for indemnification under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as applicable, exceeds Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Indemnification Basket”). Further, the aggregate maximum liability of Purchaser to indemnify Seller pursuant to Section 8.1, on one hand, and Seller to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2, on the other hand, shall not exceed Four Million and 00/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00) (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided that any Losses arising out of or resulting from any Purchaser Indemnified Taxes shall not be subject to such Indemnification Cap.

     8.4 Claim Procedures.

     (a) Each Indemnitee agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim by it for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, such Indemnitee must assert its claim for indemnification under this Article VIII (each, a “Claim”) by providing a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Person allegedly required to provide indemnification protection under this Article VIII (each, an “Indemnitor”) specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature and basis for such Claim (e.g., the underlying representation, warranty or covenant alleged to have been breached). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee’s failure to send or delay in sending a third party Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnitor from liability hereunder with respect to such Claim except to the extent the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure or delay.

     (b) In the event of the assertion of any third party Claim for which, by the terms hereof, an Indemnitor is obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitor will have the right, at such Indemnitor’s expense, to assume the defense of same including the appointment and selection of counsel on behalf of the Indemnitee so long as such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor elects to assume the defense of any such third party Claim, it shall within 30 days notify the Indemnitee in writing of its intent to do so. Subject to Section 8.4(c), the Indemnitor will have the right to settle or compromise or take any corrective or remediation action with respect to any such Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnitor to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee will be entitled, at its own cost, to participate with the Indemnitor in the defense of any such Claim. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any such third-party Claim but fails to diligently prosecute such Claim, or if the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of any such Claim, the Indemnitee may assume control of such defense and in the event it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Claim was a matter for which the Indemnitor is required to provide indemnification under the terms of this Article X, the Indemnitor will bear the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense (including fees and expenses of counsel).

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnitor will not be permitted to settle, compromise, take any corrective or remedial action or enter into an agreed judgment or consent decree, in each case, that subjects the Indemnitee to any criminal liability, requires an admission of guilt or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnitee or imposes any continuing obligation on or requires any payment from the Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent.

     8.5 Sole Remedy. Indemnification as provided in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Parties hereto with respect to any claims or damages arising from or related to this Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby, except for claims of fraud.
