Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, and Buyer’s managers, officers, employees, agents, and Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) for, and will pay to Seller Indemnified Persons the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement, the Closing Documents or any other certificate or document delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any breach by Seller of any covenant or obligation of Seller in this Agreement, the Closing Documents or any other certificate or document delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement; and

5.2. Indemnification and Payment of Damages by Buyer.

Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Seller’s managers, officers, employees, agents, and Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) for, and will pay to the Buyer Indemnified Persons the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, the Closing Documents or in any certificate or document delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement, the Closing Documents or any certificate or document delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

(c) the failure of Buyer to satisfy and discharge any Assumed Liabilities or Seller’s obligations under or breach of any Assumed Contract contemplated by Section 2.8.

5.3. Procedure for Indemnification — Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under Section 5.1 or 5.2, of notice of any claim against it, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under such Section, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the Indemnifying Party’s failure to give such written notice.

(b) If any claim referred to in Section 5.3(a) is brought against an Indemnified Person and it gives written notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim, the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and, after written notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Section 5 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such claim, subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a claim, (i) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Person’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the Indemnified Person will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. Subject to Section 5.3(c), if written notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of any claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give written notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim then the Indemnified Person shall defend such claim and, the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by written notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such claim, but the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of a claim so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

5.4. Procedure for Indemnification — Other Claims.

A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim shall be asserted by written notice to the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification is sought, describing the Damages, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such Damages, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Damages have occurred. The amount of the Damages set forth in the notice shall not be a limitation on any claim for the actual amount of such Damages, however. If the Indemnifying Party does not object in writing to an indemnification notice claim within thirty (30) days after receiving notice, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover promptly from the Indemnifying Party the amount of such claim, but such recovery shall not be deemed to limit the amount of any additional indemnification to which the Indemnified Person may be entitled pursuant to this Section 5.

5.5. Survival/Limitations.

(a) The parties hereto agree that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.8 and 3.11 (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) and in Sections 4.1 and 4.2(a) shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation with respect to the subject matter thereof, and (ii) all other representations and warranties shall survive for fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and any document delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing until thirty (30) days after the applicable statutes of limitation with respect to the subject matter thereof or for the period expressly set forth therein. Any indemnification claim pursuant to this Section 5 must be made on or before the expiration of the applicable survival period for the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement upon which the claim is based.

(b) The Seller Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to recover Damages for any claims made based on a breach of any representations and warranties other than any Fundamental Representation, unless such Damages exceed $410,000 in the aggregate (“Deductible”), in which event the indemnifying parties shall only be required to pay or be liable for Damages in excess of the Deductible. With respect to any claim as to which an Indemnified Person may be entitled to indemnification under this Section 5, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Damages that do not exceed $20,000 (which Damages shall not be counted toward the Deductible). The aggregate amount of all Damages for which Seller Indemnified Persons may recover for any claim based on a breach of any representations and warranties other than Fundamental Representations shall be the Escrow Amount (“Cap”).

(c) The Deductible and the Cap shall not apply to any Damages claim made under Section 5.1(a) for a breach of any Fundamental Representations or under Sections 5.2(b) or (c); provided, however, that the maximum amount of all Damages for which Seller Indemnified Persons may recover pursuant to Section 5.1 shall be the Purchase Price.

(d)

(i) If a claim for indemnification is paid by an Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person subsequently receives payment for any part of the Damages paid by the Indemnifying Party, whether by recovery against or settlement with a third Person, or from insurance proceeds, the Indemnified Person will pay promptly to the Indemnifying Party from the payment received by the Indemnified Person (to the extent it is sufficient) the Damages paid by the Indemnifying Party, less any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Person’s recovery.

(ii) An Indemnified Person is not required to make a claim for Damages paid or payable by an Indemnifying Party if the Indemnified Person reasonably determines that submission of the claim to the insurer could result in either the cancellation or nonrenewal of any insurance policy of the Indemnified Person or its Affiliate or a material increase in insurance premiums for coverage in the future.

(iii) For the purpose of an Indemnifying Party’s maximum indemnification obligation provided for in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will be treated as not having made the previous indemnification payment to which the insurance or other recovery pertains, to the extent of the amount of repayment made by the Indemnified Person.

5.6. Payments.

(a) Once Damages are agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Section 5, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within five (5) Business Days after the same by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(b) Any Damages payable to a Seller Indemnified Person shall be satisfied: (a) from the Escrow, to the extent of funds available therefor, and (b) to the extent the Damages exceed the amount available from the Escrow, or if the Escrow has been disbursed, from Seller. Seller will maintain a tangible net worth of not less than $4,100,000 from the Closing Date to the date that is last day of the fifteenth month following the Closing Date.

5.7. Exclusive Remedy.

Subject to Section 6.4, the provisions of this Section 5 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to any claims for Damages resulting from or arising out of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained herein. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Legal Requirements, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives arising under or based upon any Legal Requirements, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 5.
