  (b)	The Indemnifying Party shall indemnify any Indemnified Party and hold each Indemnified Party for any Losses suffered by such Indemnified Party resulting from or arising out of (i) any Group Company’s failure to withhold or pay any Tax (including any non-payment or underpayment) in accordance with Applicable Laws for all tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date; (ii) such other matters as set forth in SCHEDULE VII.  The indemnification under this Section 8.01(b) shall not be prejudiced by or be otherwise subject to any disclosure in the SEC Documents or otherwise) and shall apply regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party has any actual or constructive knowledge with respect thereto.

  (f)	No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any Losses under clause (i) of Section 8.01(a), other than with respect to breaches of Fundamental Company Representations, until such time as the aggregate amount of all such Losses that have been suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnified Parties under clause (i) of Section 8.01(a) exceeds $112,500 (the “Loss Threshold”), provided, however, that once the aggregate amount of all such Losses under clause (i) of Section 8.01(a) exceeds the Loss Threshold, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all such Losses under clause (i) of Section 8.01(a) (including the Loss Threshold). 

  (g)	The maximum aggregate amount of Losses that each Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover under clause (i) of Section 8.01(a), other than with respect to breaches of any Fundamental Company Representations, shall be limited to the aggregate amount of the Purchase Prices paid hereunder by the Investor plus an amount accruing thereon at a compound annual rate of eight percent (8%) of the foregoing aggregate amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in this Section 8.01) shall not apply to any claim based on fraud or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

Nothing in this Article VIII or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect any Parties’ rights to specific performance or other equitable or non-monetary remedies with respect to the covenants and agreements in this Agreement or that are to be performed at or after the Closing; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of fraud, nothing contained herein shall permit any Party to rescind this Agreement.

  Section 8.02	Third Party Claims. 

  (a)	If any third party shall notify an Indemnified Party in writing with respect to any matter involving a claim by such third party (a “Third Party Claim”) and such Indemnified Party believes such claim would give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. 

  (b)	Upon receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, which right shall remain in effect if and for so long as the Indemnifying Party continues to diligently defend against such Action; provided, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be entitled to assume the defense of any Action if such Action (i) is with respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party.  To the extent the Indemnifying Party is entitled to and elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Claim Notice. Upon delivery of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall diligently defend such Action to a final non-appealable adjudication or settlement, provided, that, (i) any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) and the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of such defense on a regular basis.  

  (c)	If requested by the Indemnifying Party and to the extent practicable, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to any Third Party Claim for which indemnity is sought under this Agreement, other than any privileged communications between the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, and shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain separate co-counsel and participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement (except for its consent required under Section 8.02(b) above) of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.02(b), provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of a separate counsel where there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party. 

  (d)	In the event of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make such an election within thirty (30) days of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle, compromise or pay such Action or claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that, any such settlement 

  31

   

  

   

  or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

  (e)	The indemnification required by this Section 8.02 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred.

  Section 8.03	Other Claims.  In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against the Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement; provided, that no failure, delay or deficiency in providing such notice shall constitute a waiver or otherwise modify the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure, delay or deficiency. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim.
