Tax Returns, examination reports, and statements of deficiencies filed by,
assessed against or agreed to by NCCI for and during fiscal years 2006 and 2007
(since inception).
 
(c)      The NCCI financial statements reflect an adequate reserve for all Taxes
payable by NCCI (in addition to any reserve for deferred Taxes to reflect timing
differences between book and Tax items) for all taxable periods and portions
thereof through the date of such financial statements.  NCCI is neither a party
to nor is it bound by any tax indemnity, tax sharing or similar agreement and
NCCI currently has no material liability and will not have any material
liabilities for any Taxes of any other Person under any agreement or by the

the Transactions, except to the extent that such information can be shown to
have been (a) previously known by the Party to which it was furnished, (b) in
the public domain through no fault of such Party, or (c) later lawfully acquired
by the Party to which it was furnished from other sources, which source is not a
Representative of the other Party, and each Party shall not release or disclose
such information to any other Person, except its Representatives in connection
with this Agreement.  Each Party shall be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations to hold confidential information concerning or supplied by the other
Party in connection with the Transactions, if it exercises the same care as it
takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information.  For the
avoidance of doubt, any disclosure of information required to be included by
NCCI in its filings with the SEC as required by the applicable laws will not be
violation of this Section 7.2.
 
Section 7.3       Public Announcements.  From the date of this Agreement until
the Closing or termination of this Agreement, NCCI and each of the PAI Entities
shall cooperate in good faith to jointly prepare all press releases and public
announcements pertaining to this Agreement and the Transactions governed by it,
and none of the foregoing shall issue or otherwise make any public announcement
or communication pertaining to this Agreement or the transaction without the
prior consent of NCCI (in the case of PAI Entities) or any PAI Entities (in the
case of NCCI), except as required by Law or by the rules and regulations of, or
pursuant to any agreement of, a stock exchange or trading system.  Each Party
will not unreasonably withhold approval from the others with respect to any
press release or public announcement.  If any Party determines with the advice
of counsel that it is required to make this Agreement and the terms of the
transaction public or otherwise issue a press release or make public disclosure
with respect thereto, it shall at a reasonable time before making any public
disclosure, consult with the other Parties regarding such disclosure, seek such
confidential treatment for such terms or portions of this Agreement or the
transaction as may be reasonably requested by the other Parties and disclose
only such information as is legally compelled to be disclosed.  This provision
will not apply to communications by any Party to its counsel, accountants and
other professional advisors.

Indemnified Parties”) from and against any liabilities, loss, claims, damages,
fines, penalties, expenses (including costs of investigation and defense and
reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (collectively, “Damages”) arising
from:  (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the PAI Parties
in Article II hereof or in any certificate delivered by the PAI Parties pursuant
to this Agreement; or (ii) any breach by any PAI Party of its covenants or

harmless each of the PAI Parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns (the “PAI Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Damages arising

$50,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Damages exceed the
Deductible.
 
(b)      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
no PAI Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3,
unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages with respect to such matters

33

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

 

Section 9.5       Defense of Third Party Claims.  If a Party determines to make
a claim for indemnification here under (each as applicable an “Indemnitee”),
such Party as applicable shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”)
of the claim in writing promptly after receiving notice of any action, lawsuit,
proceeding, investigation, demand or other claim against the Indemnitee (if by a
third party), describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and
quantifiable) and the basis thereof in reasonable detail (such written notice,
an “Indemnification Notice”); provided that the failure to so notify an
Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except
to the extent that (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused
the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated to be greater than such
damages would have been had the Indemnitee given the Indemnitor prompt notice
hereunder.  Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of
such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an
Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its
option shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a reputable
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in
connection with such defense; provided, that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to
participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for
such purpose; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate
counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee and shall not be recoverable from such
Indemnitor under this Article IX.  If the Indemnitor shall control the defense
of any such claim, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to settle such claims;
provided, that the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the
Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend
such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation,
injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee or
if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee
from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim.  If the
Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any
amount required to be paid by the Indemnitee that exceeds, where the Indemnitee
has unreasonably withheld or delayed consent in connection with the proposed
compromise or settlement of a third party claim, the amount for which that third
party claim could have been settled pursuant to that proposed compromise or
settlement.  In all cases, the Indemnitee shall provide its reasonable
cooperation with the Indemnitor in defense of claims or litigation, including by
making employees, information and documentation reasonably available.  If the
Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of any such action, lawsuit, proceeding,
investigation or other claim, the Indemnitee may defend against such matter as
it deems appropriate; provided that the Indemnitee may not settle any such
matter without the written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the Indemnitee is seeking or
will seek indemnification hereunder with respect to such matter.
 
Section 9.6       Determining Damages.  The amount of Damages subject to
indemnification under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 shall be calculated net of
(i) any Tax Benefit inuring to the Indemnitee on account of such Damages,
(ii) any insurance proceeds or other amounts under indemnification agreements
received or receivable by the Indemnitee on account of such Damages.  If the
Indemnitee receives a Tax Benefit on account of such Damages after an
indemnification payment is made to it, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the
Person or Persons that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Tax
Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is
realized by the Indemnitee.  For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean any
refund of Taxes to be paid or reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise
would be paid by the Indemnitee, in each case computed at the highest marginal
tax rates applicable to the recipient of such benefit.  To the extent Damages
are recoverable by insurance, the Indemnitees shall take all commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain maximum recovery from such insurance.  In the event
that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnitee with respect to
Damages for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund
equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the
Person or Persons that provided such indemnity payments to such Indemnitee.  The
Indemnitors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitees in respect of
Damages indemnified by the Indemnitors.  The Indemnitees shall take all
commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Damages upon and after becoming
aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to
Damages.  For Tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat all payments made under
this Article IX as adjustments to the consideration received for the PAI Shares.
 
 
34

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

 

Section 9.7       Right of Setoff.  To the extent that any Party is obligated to
indemnify any other Party after Closing under the provisions of this Article IX
for Damages reduced to a monetary amount, such Party after Closing shall have
the right to decrease any amount due and owing or to be due and owing under any
agreement with the other Party, whether under this Agreement or any other
agreement between such Parties on the one hand, and any of the other Party or
any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries or controlled persons or
entities on the other.
 
Section 9.8       Payment.  The Indemnitor shall be required to pay all of the
sums so owing in respect of finally determined Damages to the Indemnitee by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the
Indemnitor within five (5) Business Days after such final determination.
 
Section 9.9       Limitation on Recourse; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
 
(a)      No claim shall be brought or maintained by any Party or its respective
successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, partner, member,
agent, representative, Affiliate, equity holder, successor or permitted assign
of any Party which is not otherwise expressly identified as a Party, and no
recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based
upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of any Party set forth or
contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto or any certificate
delivered hereunder.
 
(b)      Except as set forth in Section 9.3, the provisions of this Article IX
are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing in this Article IX, express
or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or
equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason
of this Article IX (it being understood that only the Independent Committee and
not NCCI, any Person acting on its behalf or any other Person, may exercise any
indemnity rights under Section 9.2 or any other provision of Article IX).
