- 42 - 

officers, directors, shareholders, agents and attorneys (the “NMI Indemnitees”) or the Shareholders andtheir respective agents and attorneys (the “Shareholder Indemnitees”), as the case may be, are indemnified as the context requires. The person claiming indemnification hereunder, whether an NMI Indemnitee or a ShareholderIndemnitee, is sometimes referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is sometimes referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. All claims for indemnification byan Indemnified Party under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 hereof, as the case may be, shall be asserted and resolved as follows: 

 

(a) If any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable for Losses to an Indemnified Party hereunder is overtly asserted against orsought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Third Party Claim is soasserted or sought against the Indemnified Party) notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and specific basis for such Third Party Claim and theamount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible, which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim (the “Claim Notice”). For this purpose, the commencement by a third party ofany audit or other investigation respecting Taxes relating to any period or portion thereof prior to Closing shall constitute a Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to so provide a Claim Notice as provided above shall notrelieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any such Third Party Claim except to the extent that a failure to timely notify the Indemnifying Party prejudices the Indemnifying Party’sability to defend against the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days from delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Partydisputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim and (ii) whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend theIndemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. 

 

(b) If theIndemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party and that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect tothe Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be diligently prosecuted bythe Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnifying Party is liable hereunder to the Indemnified Party for the full amount of, and all obligations under, such settlementor entry of judgment or such settlement or entry of judgment includes a release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim; otherwise, no such settlement or entry of judgment shall be agreed to without theprior written consent of the Indemnified Party). If the Indemnifying Party is liable hereunder to the Indemnified Party for the full amount of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings,including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, that the 

 

- 43 - 

Indemnified Party is hereby authorized, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if theIndemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder or if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense with respect to the Third Party Claim), to file during the Notice Period any motion, answer or other pleadings which the IndemnifiedParty shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party (it being understood and agreed that if an Indemnified Party takes any such action which isprejudicial and conclusively causes a final adjudication which is adverse to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim); and providedfurther*,*that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claimwhich the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person. TheIndemnified Party may participate in, but not control (except if the Indemnifying Party is not liable hereunder to the Indemnified Party for the full amount of such Third Party Claim, in which case whichever of the Indemnifying Party or theIndemnified Party is liable for the largest amount of Losses with respect to the Third Party Claim shall control; provided that, if the Indemnified Party may control such defense in a settlement pursuant to the foregoing, such Indemnified Partyshall not enter into any settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent), any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is participating pursuant to this Section 8.4(b), andexcept as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event that the amount of the Third Party Claim equals orexceeds the amount then existing in the Escrow Account and the Indemnified Party is an NMI Indemnitee, then such NMI Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend itself against the Third Party Claim and exercise full andexclusive control of any defense or proceedings related thereto, regardless of whether, pursuant to this Section 8.4, the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect thereto or in any other way exercise control over anysuch defense or proceedings related thereto. 

 

(c) If theIndemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party and that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant tothis Section 8, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly and vigorously prosecuted bythe Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settled, provided that, the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to theIndemnified Party by the third party of a release from all liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) unless there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of applicable law by the Indemnified Party (or anyaffiliate thereof), (B) any liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof) or (C) any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims of a similar nature that may be made by the 

 

- 44 - 

same third party against the Indemnified Party (or any affiliate thereof); or (iii) which exceeds the Shareholders Cap.The Indemnified Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party agrees, at the sole cost and expenseof the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making anycounterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.4(c), if the Indemnifying Party has timely notified the Indemnified Party that theIndemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party by final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitral tribunal, the Indemnifying Partyshall not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this Section 8.4(c) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request and the Indemnified Partyshall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all costs and expenses of such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.4(c)(other than a dispute as to the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnified Party) and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. 

 

(d) If any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any IndemnifyingParty hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of such claim by the Indemnified Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim and the amount ofthe estimated amount of such claim (the “Indemnity Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from delivery of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes suchclaim, the amount or estimated amount of such claim specified by the Indemnified Party shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed such claim, as provided above, suchdispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 9 hereof. 

 

8.5. Recoupment under the Escrow Agreement. From and after the Closing, any indemnification (except in respect of a breach of a Fundamental Representation or a breach of any representation or warranty by the Company, any Subsidiaryof the Company or any Shareholder that results from any criminal activity of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any Shareholder, which results in a conviction for a felony, entry of a plea of guilty or nolocontendere to afelony, or constitutes fraud or intentional misrepresentation, which are subject to the provisions of Section 8.2(b)) to which an NMI Indemnitee is entitled under this Agreement as a result of any claim shall be solely and exclusively satisfied byrecouping all of such claim from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
