22









 





               8.2 Indemnification. Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and
hold harmless the other party and its affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors,
officers, employees, agents and affiliates (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all
losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
(collectively, “Losses”) that may be incurred or suffered by reason of (i) any breach by the
Indemnifying Party of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, or
(ii) any breach by the Indemnifying Party of the covenants set forth in Section 7 hereof that
remains uncured 45 days after notice thereof.



                    (a) To the extent that the Company has any indemnification
obligations pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Purchaser shall have the right to recover Losses from
the Company by exercising its rights directly against the Company and, if necessary, to enforce its
rights under Section 9.15 below; or



                    (b) As an alternative to the remedy provided in clause (a) above, if the
Company has breached any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and
such breach or breaches (i) negatively impacted the value of the Company in an amount equal to
Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or greater or (ii) reduced the value of the Purchaser’s
Shares
by One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or more in the aggregate (either circumstance constituting
a
“Substantial Breach”), then the Purchaser shall have the right to either (1) obtain rescission
of the
purchase of Shares hereunder and receive from the Company the purchase price of the Shares, or
(2) retain ownership of the Shares purchased hereunder, but either (A) recover Losses from the
Company, or (B) set-off the amount of Losses against the purchase price of any Shares the
Purchaser elects to purchase at the Second or Third Closing; provided, however, that this
Section 8.2(b) shall apply for breaches of all representations and warranties set forth in this
Agreement, with the exception of breaches of Section 3.27. For purposes of clause (i) above, it is agreed
that the dollar amount of an undisclosed liability or the amount of any understatement of a
liability or overstatement of an asset on the Company’s balance sheet shall be the dollar amount of the
breach. If disputed by the Company, the analysis of the arbitrator shall be to determine
whether a breach has occurred (if that is disputed) and/or whether it constitutes a Substantial Breach
and, if so, the dollar amount of such breach. The Purchaser may assert its rights under this Section
8.2(b) by written notice to the Company which outlines the basis of and its calculation of the
dollar amount of the Substantial Breach. Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of
Purchaser’s notice hereunder, the Company shall either accept the Purchaser’s notice as true and provide
the remedy sought or it shall dispute the Purchaser’s assertion. Failure of the Company to respond
shall be deemed to constitute a denial of Purchaser’s claim. If the Company does not believe
that a Substantial Breach has occurred and the parties do not otherwise resolve the dispute within
thirty (30) days of the Purchaser’s notice hereunder, then the Purchaser shall have the right,
at its sole discretion, to invoke the provisions of Section 9.15 for the purpose of having an
arbitrator or panel of arbitrators determine whether a Substantial Breach has occurred. If the arbitrator
determines that there has been a Substantial Breach, then the Purchaser shall have the rights
as outlined above. Additionally, the Company shall reimburse the reasonable fees and expenses of
the Purchaser incurred under this Section 8.2(b) in connection with the arbitration and the
Company shall pay all of the fees of the arbitrator. Conversely, if the arbitrator determines
that a Substantial Breach has not occurred, then the Purchaser shall retain its Shares and the
Purchaser shall reimburse the reasonable fees and expenses of the Company incurred under this Section



23









 




8.2(b) and all of the fees of the arbitrator. If the arbitrator determines that a breach occurred
but does not make a determination of whether it constitutes a Substantial Breach, then the parties
shall each pay their own legal fees and expenses and one-half of the costs of the arbitrator(s) but
the Purchaser shall have the right to assert a claim under Section 8.2(a). This alternative remedy
shall be in effect for eighteen (18) months from the date of the Initial Closing. If the arbitrator
determines that the Purchaser incurred a Substantial Breach and Purchaser elects to retain
ownership of the Shares in connection with this Section 8.2(b), then notwithstanding Section 2.4(d)
of this Agreement, the Protective Provisions set forth in the Amended Articles shall continue until
the Purchaser no longer holds shares of Series E Preferred Stock and the right of first refusal set
forth in Section 5 of the Rights Agreement shall continue for four (4) years from the date of the
Initial Closing.
