As of their respective filing or furnishing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as applicable, to the respective SEC Documents, and, other than as corrected or clarified in a subsequent SEC Document prior to the date of this Agreement, none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed or furnished, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Other than the material weaknesses in such internal controls over financial reporting disclosed in the SEC Documents, there are no such other material weaknesses in such system of internal controls.

Except as may be disclosed in the SEC Documents, all such Permits are in full force and effect and, to the knowledge of the Company, no suspension or cancellation of any of them is threatened, except where such absence, suspension or cancellation, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is in compliance with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the NYSE.

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

(a) All representations and warranties made by any Party contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until twelve (12) months after of the Closing Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing clause, (i) any breach of representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding clause (a), if notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time and (ii) any breach of representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought that was caused as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation shall survive indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by law.

Section 7.02 Indemnification.

(a) Effective at and after the Closing, each Party hereto, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates (the “Indemnified Parties”) against and from any and all damage, loss, liability and expense (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (“Losses”), incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Parties arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of representation or warranty or breach of covenants or agreements by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party’s maximum liability under this Section 7.02 shall not exceed the Subscription Price, (ii) no Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any Losses consisting of punitive damages, (iii) the amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this section shall be reduced by (a) any amounts that have been recovered by any Indemnified Party from any third party, and (b) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or source of reimbursement that have been received by any Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses, in each case, net of any costs of recovery, and (iv) each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Losses it incurs.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the remedies contained in this Section shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any claim arising out of or resulting from this Agreement, except that no limitation or exceptions with respect to the obligations or liabilities on either Party provided hereunder shall apply to a Loss incurred by any Indemnified Party arising due to the fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation of the Indemnifying Party.

Section 7.03 Third Party Claim Procedures.

(a) The Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under Section 7.02 agrees to give reasonably prompt notice in writing to Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding by any third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 7.02. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such Third Party Claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have actually materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.03, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel (that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) for such defense, in each case at its own expense; provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, the Indemnifying Party must (i) acknowledge in writing that it would have an indemnity obligation to the Indemnified Party for the Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim and (ii) furnish the Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnifying Party has adequate resources to defend the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnity obligations hereunder.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the acknowledgment referred to in Section 7.03(b) within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 7.03(a), (ii) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be materially detrimental to the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iv) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (v) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend the Third Party Claim vigorously and prudently.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.03(c), the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim if the settlement does not expressly unconditionally release the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim or the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

(e) In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.03(c), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel of the Indemnified Party if (i) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest or (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party.

(f) Each party shall reasonably cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to reasonably cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim.

Section 7.04 Direct Claim Procedures. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnity under Section 7.02 against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party agrees to give notice in writing of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such claim and the basis for indemnification (taking into account the information then available to the Indemnified Party). The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent such failure shall have actually materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following the receipt of a notice with respect to any such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its indemnity obligation to the Indemnified Party for any Losses with respect to such claim, such Losses shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party any and all Losses arising out of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its indemnity obligation for any Losses with respect to such claim, the parties shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through such negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration determined pursuant to Section 9.06.

ARTICLE 8
