INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED MATTERS

8.02            Indemnification.

 

(a) Irrespective of any due diligence investigation conducted by the Company with regard to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Parent shall indemnify and hold the Company and each of its officers and directors (the “Company Representatives”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, deficiencies, costs, penalties, interest and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, based upon, attributable to or resulting from any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Company or any of the Company Representatives resulting from or arising out of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by the Parent as set forth herein.

 

(b) The Company shall indemnify and hold the Parent and each of its officers and directors (the “Parent Representatives”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, deficiencies, costs, penalties, interest and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of, based upon, attributable to or resulting from any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Parent or any of the Parent Representatives resulting from or arising out of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by Company as set forth herein.

 

8.03            Notice of Indemnification. In the event any proceeding shall be threatened or instituted or any claim or demand shall be asserted in respect of which payment may be sought by the Parent or any Parent Representative or by the Company or any Company Representative, against the other, as the case may be (each an “Indemnitee”), under the provisions of this Article VIII (an “Indemnity Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any such Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the Parent Representative, who shall be Paul Kelly, or the Company. Any notice of an Indemnity Claim by reason of any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement shall state specifically the representation, warranty or covenant with respect to which the Indemnity Claim is made, the facts giving rise to an alleged basis for the Claim, and the amount of the liability asserted against the Indemnitor by reason of the Indemnity Claim. Within ten (10) days of the receipt of such written notice, the Parent Representative or the Company, as the case may be, shall notify the Indemnitee in writing of its intent to contest the indemnification obligation (a “Contest”) or to accept liability hereunder. If the Parent Representative or the Company, as the case may be, does not respond within ten (10) days of the request of such written notice to such written notice, the Parent Representative or the Company, as the case may be, will be deemed to accept liability as it relates to the Merger Consideration. In such event, the Indemnitee will deliver a Notice to the Parent that there is a determination of liability to this Section 8.03 and the Parent shall be instructed to adjust the Merger Consideration. In the event of a Contest, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the written notice thereof, the parties will select arbitrators and submit the dispute to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association at a venue to be located in New York City. The arbitrators shall be selected by the mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties can not agree on the arbitrator, each may select one arbitrator and the two designated arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator. If the third arbitrator can not be agreed upon, the American Arbitration Association in New York shall select the third arbitrator. A decision by the individual arbitrator or a majority decision by the three arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties. Such arbitration shall follow the rules of the American Arbitration Association and must be resolved by the arbitrators within thirty (30) days after the matter is submitted to arbitration. If the arbitration is ruled favorably for Parent so that there is a determination of a Loss, the Indemnitee will deliver a Notice to the Parent that there is a determination of liability pursuant to this Section 8.03 and the Parent shall adjust the Merger Consideration Deposit accordingly.
