of the Sellers and is the valid and binding legal obligation of each of the
Sellers enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms. At

Sellers and will constitute valid and binding legal obligations of each of the
Sellers enforceable against each of the Sellers in accordance with their
respective terms.

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of
any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the
performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect
the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations,
warranties, covenants and obligations.

          8.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Sellers harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
obligations, demands, judgments, settlements, damages (but excluding claims for
consequential damages, lost profits or punitive damages) or reasonable expense
(including but not limited to interest, penalties, fees and reasonable
professional fees and expenses) and against all claims in respect thereof
(including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable costs
of investigation) whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively as
“Sellers’ Loss” or “Sellers’ Losses”) to which Sellers may suffer or incur,
directly or indirectly, as a result from or in connection with:

               (a) any untrue representation of, or breach of warranty by, Buyer
in any part of this Agreement;

               (b) the breach of or nonfulfillment of any covenant, agreement or
undertaking of Buyer in this Agreement; and

               (c) operation of Company after the Closing Date.

          8.3 Indemnification by Sellers. Sellers, jointly and severally, agree
to indemnify Buyer and its subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their
respective shareholders, officers and directors (collectively the “Buyer
Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, liabilities, obligations, demands,
judgments, settlements, damages (but excluding any claims for consequential

as opposed to consequential damages, lost profits or punitive damages paid by
Buyer or Company to a third party), or reasonable expenses (including, but not
limited to, interest, penalties, fees, and reasonable professional fees and
expenses) and against all claims in respect thereof (including, without
limitation, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable costs of investigation),
whether or not involving a third-party claim (herein referred to collectively as
“Buyer’s Losses” or individually as a “Buyer’s Loss”) to which the Buyer
Indemnified Parties or Company may suffer or incur, directly or indirectly, as a
result from or in connection with:

               (a) any untrue representation of or breach of warranty, by
Sellers in any part of this Agreement;

               (b) the breach of or nonfulfillment of any covenant, agreement or
undertaking of Sellers in this Agreement; and

               (c) any obligation for Taxes of the Sellers or Company for any

               (f) the operation of Company on or before the Closing Date.

          8.4 Right of Set-Off. Upon at least ten (10) business days prior
written notice to Sellers, specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor,
Buyer may set-off any amount to which it may be entitled under this Article 8
against the payments to be made by Buyer of the Purchase Price. The exercise of
such right of set-off by Buyer shall not constitute an event of default or a
breach under this Agreement. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to
exercise, such right of set-off shall constitute an election of remedies nor
limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be
available to it. If Sellers object to the set off by written notice to Buyer
prior to the payment date, Buyer shall place the amount in dispute in escrow
with a mutually acceptable escrow agent. Such amount may be withdrawn only upon
mutual written agreement of the parties or pursuant to an award of the arbitral
tribunal in accordance with Section 10.8.

          8.5 Claims for Indemnification.

               (a) General. The parties intend that all indemnification claims
be made as promptly as practicable by the party seeking indemnification (the
“Indemnified Party”) and prior to the expiration of the applicable
representation, warranty or covenant. Whenever any claim shall arise for
indemnification hereunder the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party
from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim and,
when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim (the “Notice”). The
failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party except to the
extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby, such delay shall not modify
the time requirements for the filing of a claim as set forth in Section 9.8. For
purposes of this Agreement, the date which is three business days after the
Notice is first mailed or otherwise released for dispatch to the Indemnifying
Party is hereinafter referred to as the “Notice Delivery Date”.

               (b) Claims by Third Parties. With respect to claims made by third
parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume control of the
defense of such action or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party; provided, however, that:

                    (i) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate
in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist
in the handling of such claim;

                    (ii) no Indemnifying Party shall consent to (A) the entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or
(B) if, pursuant to or as a result of such consent or settlement, injunctive or
other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or such
judgment or settlement could materially interfere with the business, operations
or assets of the Indemnified Party; and,

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                    (iii) if the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of
the defense of such claim in accordance with the foregoing provisions within ten
(10) business days after the Notice Delivery Date, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to defend such claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at
the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party will
promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party therefore in accordance with this
Article 9; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to consent
to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of such claim that
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or
plaintiff to each Indemnifying Party of a release from all liability in respect
of such claim and provided that Indemnified Party shall not be entitled without
the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party to enter into a consent or
settlement if injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the
Indemnifying Party or such judgment or settlement could materially interfere
with the business, operations or assets of the Indemnifying Party.

               (c) Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided herein shall be
cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any party of any rights or the
seeking of any other remedies against any other party.

covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel
with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No single or partial exercise
of a right or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of
any other right or remedy hereunder. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits
the consent by or on behalf of a party, such consent will be given in writing in
the same manner as for waivers of compliance.
