	(b)	All covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein shall survive the Closing for a period of five years or for the period specified therein. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any claim commenced prior to any such expiration shall remain as a valid claim until finally resolved in accordance with the provisions herein.

	(a)	any breach by Seller of or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto (provided that Seller shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless the Buyer in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty unless the Buyer shall have provided notice to Seller in accordance with Section 7.07 on or prior to the expiration of the applicable time period related to such representation and warranty as set out in Article VI);

	(b)	any breach or non-performance by the Seller of any covenant to be performed by it which is contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto;

	(a)	any breach by the Buyer of or any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto;

	(b)	any breach or non-performance by the Buyer of any covenant to be performed by it which is contained in this Agreement or in any agreement, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto;

	(d)	the ownership of the Painting after the Time of Closing including, without limitation, any failure by the Buyer to pay, satisfy, discharge, perform or fulfil any of the Liabilities related thereto.

Section 7.04 Notice of Claim. In the event that a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall become aware of any claim, proceeding or other matter (a “Claim”) in respect of which another Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall, as soon as is reasonable, give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available) (i) the factual basis for the Claim; and (ii) the amount of the Claim, if known. If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not receive notice of any Claim in time to contest the determination of any liability susceptible of being contested, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to set off against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party the amount of any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party resulting from the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice on a timely basis.

Section 7.05 Direct Claims. With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days to make such investigation of the Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If all Parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Claim, failing which the matter shall be referred to binding arbitration in such manner as the Parties may agree or shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 7.06 Third Party Claims. With respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of the Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket expenses as a result of such participation. The Indemnified Party has the right to require the Indemnifying Party to assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of the claim and if the Indemnified Party exercises this right, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party consents to the retention of such counsel or unless the named parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defenses). If the Indemnifying Party, being required to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third-Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall assume such control, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that: (a) the Indemnified Party is required by applicable law or the order of any court, tribunal or regulatory body having jurisdiction; or (b) it is necessary in the reasonable view of the Indemnified Party acting in good faith and in a manner consistent with reasonable commercial practices in respect of: (i) a Third Party Claim relating to the Painting; or (ii) a Third Party Claim relating to any Contract which is necessary to the ongoing operations of Seller in respect of the Painting or any material part thereof by a reasonable and prudent operator in substantially the manner in which it has heretofore operated by such Person, in order to avoid material damage to the relationship between the Indemnified Party and any of its major customers or to preserve the rights of the Indemnified Party under such an essential Contract, to make a payment to any Person (a “Third Party”) with respect to the Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, as the case may be, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for such payment. If the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under the Third-Party Claim in respect of which such payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference to the Indemnifying Party.

Section 7.07 Settlement of Third Party Claims. If the Indemnifying Party is not required to assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest, settle or pay the amount claimed. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 7.08 Cooperation. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, and shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available).

Section 7.09 Right of Set-Off. The Buyer is authorized to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any amount owed to it from Seller hereunder or under any other agreement or arrangement, against any amount which it owes to any of Seller hereunder.

Section 7.10 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

Section 7.11 Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in its performance under this Agreement due to causes or events beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, fires, epidemics, floods, earthquakes, riots, wars, sabotage, international trade embargoes, labor shortages or disputes, and governmental actions, which are beyond its reasonable control; provided that the delayed Party: (i) gives the other Party written notice of such cause promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) days of discovery thereof; (ii) uses its reasonable efforts to correct such failure or delay in its performance. The delayed Party’s time for performance or cure under this Section 7.11 shall be extended for a period equal to the duration of the cause or sixty (days), whichever is less.

Article VIII. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

Section 8.01 Default by Buyer. If Buyer fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or is in breach in any material respect of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, and, if such breach or failure is capable of being cured, such failure or breach has not been cured within 10 days after receipt of notice of such breach by Buyer, then Buyer shall be in default hereunder (such event, a “Buyer Default”).

	(a)	by mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;

	(f)	by either Seller or Buyer if the Closing has not occurred by [___________], provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.03(f) shall not be available to (i) Seller if, as of such time, Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03(c) or in the event that the failure of the Closing to so occur was caused by Seller; or (ii) Buyer if, as of such time, Seller has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03(d) or in the event that the failure of the Closing to so occur was caused by Buyer.

Section 8.04 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII, this Agreement (other than Article VII, this Article VIII and Article IX) shall become void and of no further force or effect with no liability on the part of any Party hereto; provided, however, that nothing shall relieve any Party hereto from liability for actual damages to the other Parties hereto resulting from a material breach of this Agreement by such Party.
