7.1    Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement may be terminated and the Acquisition may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:
(a)    By mutual written consent of Parent Seller and Parent Purchaser;
(b)    By either Parent Seller or Parent Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to October 31, 2011 and if failure of the Closing to occur is not the result of a breach of this Agreement or a willful failure to complete the closing conditions by such Party;
(c)    By Parent Seller, if: (i) there has been a material breach by Purchaser of any representation or warranty contained herein, such material breach, if curable, is not cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Purchaser of written notice thereof from Parent Seller and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 to be satisfied; (ii) Purchaser has committed a material breach of any covenant imposed upon it hereunder and, if curable, fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice thereof from Parent Seller, and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 to be satisfied; or (iii) any condition to Seller’s obligations hereunder becomes incapable of fulfillment through no fault of Seller and is not waived by Seller;
(d)    By Parent Purchaser, if: (i) there has been a material breach by Seller of any representation or warranty contained herein, such material breach, if curable, is not cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Seller of written notice thereof from Parent Purchaser and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section  6.1 and Section 6.3 to be satisfied; (ii) Seller has committed a material breach of any covenant imposed upon it hereunder and, if curable, fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice thereof from Parent Purchaser and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section  6.1 and Section 6.3 to be satisfied; or (iii) any condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder becomes incapable of fulfillment through no fault of Purchaser and is not waived by Purchaser; or
(e)    By Parent Purchaser, on the one hand, or Parent Seller, on the other hand, if there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the Acquisition illegal or otherwise prohibited, or if any Order enjoining Purchaser, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, from consummating the Acquisition is entered and such Order shall have become final and nonappealable, provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this provision shall have used all reasonable efforts to remove or vacate such Order.
7.2    Effect of Termination; Right to Proceed.  In the event of the termination or abandonment of this Agreement and the Acquisition by any party hereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party or parties specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination or abandonment of the Acquisition is made, and there shall be no liability or obligation thereafter on the part of Purchaser or Seller except (A) for fraud and (B) for willful misconduct prior to such termination or abandonment of the Acquisition; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 and Article IX shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.

51




and any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by Purchaser pursuant to such investigation or right of investigation, Purchaser has the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement, or listed or disclosed on any Schedule hereto or in any instrument delivered in connection with or pursuant to any of the foregoing.  All of the representations and warranties made by Seller and Purchaser in this Agreement, or listed or disclosed on any Schedule hereto or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing and shall expire on the date which is the twenty‐four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations or warranties of Seller contained in Section 3.13(b) and in any certificate delivered by Seller regarding any matter set forth in such section pursuant to this Agreement (the “Liabilities Representation”) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
8.2    Indemnification by Seller.
(a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.5, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, save and hold Purchaser and its Representatives (collectively, “Purchaser Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, losses, damages, diminution in value, deficiencies, Liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees, interest, penalties, and all reasonable amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing; collectively, “Damages”) suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, in connection with or arising out of the following:
(i)    Seller’s breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;
(ii)    Seller’s breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement;
(iii)    the Retained Liabilities; 
(iv)    the failure of the Parties to comply with any bulk sales (including Section 6 of the Retail Sales Act (Ontario) and any other similar legislation of another province, as applicable) or fraudulent transfer laws that may be applicable to the Acquisition; or
(v)    any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, judgments, damages, awards, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees, as well as reasonable third-party fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of any such Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to clauses (i) through (iv) above.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the purposes of Article VIII, the representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be deemed to be made with such materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers for purposes of determining whether a breach of any such representation or warranty has occurred, but shall be deemed disregarded for purposes of determining the amount of any related indemnifiable Damages.
8.3    Indemnification by Purchaser.  
(a)    Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.5, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, save and hold Seller and its Representatives (collectively, “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all Damages suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnitees, directly or indirectly, in connection with or arising out of the following:
(i)    Purchaser’s breach of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty contained 

52




in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement;
(ii)    Purchaser’s breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Purchaser in this Agreement;
(iii)    the Assumed Liabilities; or
(iv)    any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, judgments, damages, awards, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees, as well as reasonable third-party fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of any such Seller Indemnitee with respect to clauses (i) through (iii) above.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the purposes of Article VIII, the representations and warranties of Purchaser in this Agreement that are qualified by materiality shall be deemed to be made with such materiality qualifiers for purposes of determining whether a breach of any such representation or warranty has occurred, but shall be deemed disregarded for purposes of determining the amount of any related indemnifiable Damages.
8.4    Notice of Claims.  If (a) any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (an “Indemnified Party”) has suffered or incurred or reasonably believes it will suffer or incur any Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII, (b) any Claim is instituted against a third party with respect to which any Indemnified Party intends to claim any Damages or (c) any Indemnified Party receives written notice of any Claim that has been brought or asserted by a third party against such Indemnified Party and that may be subject to indemnification hereunder (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall so notify the party or parties from whom indemnification is being claimed (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness and reasonable particularity in light of the circumstances then existing (the “Notice of Claim”).  The Notice of Claim delivered pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall describe the Damages and/or Claim (the “Asserted Liability”) in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Damages that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party.  The failure of an Indemnified Party to give any notice required by this Section 8.4 shall not affect any of such Party’s rights under this Article VIII or otherwise except and to the extent that such failure is materially prejudicial to the rights or obligations of the Indemnifying Party.  
8.5    Limitation of Claims. 
(a)    No claim for the recovery of Damages by any Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(i) or 8.3(a)(i) (or 8.2(a)(v) or 8.3(a)(iv) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of such Indemnified Party with respect to Section 8.2(a)(i) or 8.3(a)(i), as applicable), may be asserted by such Indemnified Party after the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 8.1; provided, however that claims for the recovery of Damages by such Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(ii) through 8.2(a)(iv), inclusive (or Section 8.2(a)(v) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of such Indemnified Party with respect to Sections 8.2(a)(ii) through 8.2(a)(iv) inclusive), or Sections 8.3(a)(ii) or (iii) (or Section 8.3(a)(iv) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of such Indemnified Party with respect to Sections 8.3(a)(ii) or (iii)) may be asserted by such Indemnified Party until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; provided, further, that claims first asserted in writing in a Notice of Claim delivered to an Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall survive until such claim is fully and finally resolved.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Indemnified Party under Article VIII may seek to recover Damages arising out of any fraud or willful misconduct by or on behalf of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.  For the purposes of this Article VIII, there shall be deemed “willful misconduct” by a Party only if such Party had actual knowledge at the time of taking an action or omitting to take an action and that such action or omission constituted a breach of such Party’s covenants or agreements under this Agreement.

53




(b)    The Liability of Seller for indemnifiable Damages pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be payable unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages suffered or incurred by Purchaser Indemnitees exceeds $300,000; thereafter, Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek compensation for all Damages, and Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all Damages, without regard to such $300,000 limitation set forth in this Section 8.5(b); provided, that the limitation set forth in this Section 8.5(b) shall not apply to any Damages arising from (i) any fraud or willful misconduct by or on behalf of Seller, (ii) any inaccuracies in the Seller Vacation Certificate or the Seller Materials Inventory Certificate, (iii) Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Sections 8.2(a)(iii) or 8.2(a)(iv), or (iv) Section 8.2(a)(v) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of such Indemnified Party with respect to Sections 8.2(a)(iii) or 8.2(a)(iv).  
(c)    The Liability of Seller for indemnifiable Damages pursuant to this Article VIII shall in no event exceed the Indemnification Escrow Amount; provided, that the liability of Seller for indemnifable Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii) or 8.2(a)(iv) (and Section 8.2(a)(v) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of any Indemnified Party with respect to Section 8.2(a)(iii) or 8.2(a)(iv)) shall not be subject to any such limitations.  Indemnifable Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) (and Section 8.2(a)(v) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of any Indemnified Party with respect to Section 8.2(a)(i)) shall only be recoverable from the Indemnification Escrow Fund; provided, however, indemnifable Damages pursuant to (A) Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(a)(v), in each case, arising from a breach of or inaccuracy in the Liabilities Representation and (B) Sections 8.2(a)(ii) (and Section 8.2(a)(v) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of any Indemnified Party with respect to Sections 8.2(a)(ii)) shall initially only be recoverable from the Indemnification Escrow Fund during the Escrow Period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and only after the end of the Escrow Period shall any Purchaser Indemnitee have any recourse against Seller for such Damages, subject to the limitations set forth above.  Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii) or 8.2(a)(iv) or Section 8.2(a)(v) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of any Indemnified Party with respect to Section 8.2(a)(iii) or 8.2(a)(iv) shall initially only be recoverable from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and only after the earlier of the end of the Escrow Period and claims made for recovery of Damages in excess of the funds remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall any Purchaser Indemnitee have any recourse against Seller directly for such Damages, subject to the limitations set forth above, provided that any recovery of Damages shall first be recovered from the Indemnification Escrow Fund until it is fully depleted.  
(d)    The Liability of Purchaser for indemnifiable Damages pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be payable unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages suffered or incurred by Seller Indemnitees exceeds $300,000; thereafter, Seller Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek compensation for all Damages, and Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Damages, without regard to such $300,000 limitation set forth in this Section 8.5(d); provided, that the limitation set forth in this Section 8.5(d) shall not apply to any Damages arising from (i) any fraud or willful misconduct by or on behalf of Purchaser or (ii) Purchaser’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(iii) (or Section 8.3(a)(iv) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of any Indemnified Party with respect to Section 8.3(a)(iii)).
(e)    The liability of Purchaser for indemnifiable Damages pursuant to this Article VIII shall in no event exceed the Indemnification Escrow Amount; provided, that the liability of Purchaser for indemnifable Damages pursuant to 8.3(a)(iii) (or Section 8.3(a)(iv) to the extent incurred in connection with the enforcement of the rights of any Indemnified Party with respect to Section 8.3(a)(iii)) shall not be subject to any such limitations.  
(f)    The amount of any Damage subject to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds actually received by an Indemnified Party in connection with such Damages.  If an Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds on account of such Damage after an indemnification payment is made to it, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party that made such indemnification payment the amount of such insurance proceeds at such time or times as and to the extent that such insurance proceeds are received by such Indemnified Party.

54




8.6    Indemnification Escrow.
(a)    At Closing, Purchaser will deposit, in accordance with Section 2.5(b),  Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000.00) of the Purchase Price (the “Indemnification Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent as security for the indemnification obligations of Seller under Section 8.2 hereof.  The Indemnification Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement (the “Indemnification Escrow Fund”).  All costs and expenses of the Indemnification Escrow Fund shall be split equally by Seller and Purchaser.  Any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount not previously released by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser as a result of an indemnification claim by Purchaser Indemnitee shall be released to Seller or its designees on the Escrow Release Date; provided, however, that a portion of the Indemnification Escrow Fund, which, in the good faith, reasonable judgment of Purchaser, is necessary to satisfy any pending but unresolved or unsatisfied claims specified in any Notice of Claim theretofore delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 8.4 prior to termination of the Escrow Period with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to expiration of the Escrow Period, shall be retained by the Escrow Agent until such claims have been resolved.
(b)    Any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount accordingly retained on or after the Escrow Release Date shall be released to Seller or Purchaser (as appropriate) by the Escrow Agent promptly upon resolution of each specific claim involved.
8.7    Objections to Claims.
(a)    For a period of twenty (20) Business Days from and after delivery of any Notice of Claim to Seller, Escrow Agent shall take no action regarding the Indemnification Escrow Amount hereof unless Escrow Agent shall have received written authorization from Seller to release such portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount to the Purchaser Indemnitee.  After the expiration of such twenty (20) Business Day period, Escrow Agent shall release the portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount to the Purchaser Indemnitee in accordance with Section 8.6 hereof and Seller shall no longer have any right in, or be entitled to receive, such portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, provided that no such release may be made if Seller shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Notice of Claim, and such statement shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent and Purchaser prior to the expiration of such twenty (20) Business Day period.
(b)    In case Seller shall so object in writing to any claim or claims by Purchaser made in any Notice of Claim, Purchaser Indemnitee shall have twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt of such written objection to respond in a written statement to the objection of Seller.  If after such twenty (20) Business Day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, Parent Seller and Parent Purchaser shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) Business Days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.  If Parent Seller and Parent Purchaser should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared by Parent Purchaser and signed by Parent Purchaser and Parent Seller.  The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and shall retain or release the cash from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
(c)    In the event of a Notice of Claim to Purchaser, Purchaser shall have twenty (20) Business Days from and after delivery of such Notice of Claim to Purchaser to respond in a written statement to the claim made in the Notice of Claim and deliver such written response to Parent Seller.  Parent Seller shall have twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt of such written objection to respond in a written statement to the objection of Purchaser.  If after such twenty (20) Business Day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, Parent Seller and Parent Purchaser shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) Business Days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.  If Parent Seller and Parent Purchaser should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared by Parent Purchaser and signed by Parent Purchaser and Parent Seller.
8.8    Resolution of Conflicts.  If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between the Parties pursuant to Section 8.7, Purchaser or Seller may initiate formal legal action with the applicable court in the State of California to resolve such dispute.  The decision of the court as to the validity and amount of any claim in 

55




such Notice of Claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties, and notwithstanding anything in Article VIII hereof, the Parties shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such decision and shall release the cash from the Indemnification Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
8.9    Third-Party Claims.   
(a)    In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall provide notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim in writing with reasonable promptness and reasonable particularity in light of the circumstances then existing.  The notice provided shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Damages that have been or may be suffered by the third party.  The failure to give any notice required by this Section 8.9 shall not affect any of Purchaser’s rights under this Article VIII or otherwise except and to the extent that such failure is materially prejudicial to the rights or obligations of Seller.  Subject to Section 8.9(d), the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to elect, at its option, to assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim in which case: (i) the attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with defending such Third-Party Claim shall be payable by such Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such Third-Party Claim (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  
(b)    The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to furnish indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the terms of the judgment or proposed settlement include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving to the Indemnified Parties by the third party of a release of the Indemnified Parties from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim, (ii) there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Indemnified Parties (or any Affiliate thereof) or (B) any violation of the rights of any Person, (iii) there is no effect on any other action or claims of a similar nature that may be made against the Indemnified Parties (or any Affiliate thereof), (iv) the sole form of relief is monetary damages which are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (v) the Third-Party Claim is not related to, either directly or indirectly, the Acquired Proprietary Rights or the Acquired Technology.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle, admit liability or otherwise dispose of any such Third-Party Claim without prior written consent; provided that, in such event, it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party for such Claim unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented to such payment or settlement, admission of liability or disposition of any such Third-Party Claim (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  
(c)    In the event that (i) an Indemnified Party gives Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party had the right to assume under this Section 8.9, (ii) the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.9 or (iii) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, with counsel of its choice, to defend, conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim.  The Indemnifying Party will provide reasonable cooperation in the defense of such Third-Party Claim.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that the amount of any settlement made or entry of any judgment consented to by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party shall not be determinative of the validity of the claim, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume a defense of such Third-Party Claim which it has the right to assume hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to do so.   

56




(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume (or in the case of Section 8.9(d)(iv), to continue to be entitled to assume) the defense of such Third-Party Claim if:
(i)    the Third-Party Claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages, any injunctive or other equitable relief (except where non-monetary relief is merely incidental to a primary claim or claims for monetary damages);
(ii)    the Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation;
(iii)    the Third-Party Claim would reasonably be expected to give rise to Damages which are more than the amount indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 8; or
(iv)    upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third-Party Claim.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller will not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim related to, either directly or indirectly, the Acquired Proprietary Rights or the Acquired Technology.
8.10    Survival of Indemnification Claims.  The indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VIII shall survive the Closing as provided herein.
8.11    Tax Effect of Indemnification Payments.  All indemnity payments made by Seller to Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law.
8.12    Effect of Investigation.  The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or for other remedies based on any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Seller or Purchaser contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at anytime, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the date the Closing occurs, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.  The waiver of any condition to the obligation of Seller or Purchaser to consummate the Acquisition, where such condition is based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.
8.13    Remedies.  Following the Closing, this Article VIII shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnified Party for any Damages arising under the matters set forth in Sections 8.2 or 8.3 as applicable (and as so limited herein); provided, however, that this Section 8.13 shall not apply in the case of fraud or willful misconduct; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 8.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the Parties’ rights to specific performance or other equitable remedies that do not involve payment or other monetary compensation from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party with respect to the covenants and agreements in this Agreement that are to be performed at or after the Closing.
