(c) by the Purchaser, if the Seller breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of their representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 of Article VII, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within fifteen (15) days following written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Purchaser;

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by Seller.

Subject to the limits set forth in this Section 9.1, from and after the First Closing, the Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser, its Affiliates (including, after the First Closing, the Group Companies) and their respective officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents and representatives (the “Purchaser Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and in respect of any and all losses, damages, costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Losses”), that they may incur arising out of or due to any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or other agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement and in the Ancillary Documents. The representations and warranties given by the Seller set forth in Article III of this Agreement shall survive for a period of four (4) years immediately following the First Closing Date, provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4(a) shall survive for five (5) years and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.11 (Tax Matters) shall survive the First Closing until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, other than in the case of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4(a).

(b) Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to the limits set forth in this Section 9.1, from and after the First Closing, the Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Seller and its Affiliates and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and in respect of any and all Losses that they may incur arising out of or due to any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or other agreement of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement and Taxes resulting from any action taken by the Purchaser directly related to and primarily for Tax purposes; provided that, with respect to all Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this paragraph (b) arising from the failure of a representation or warranty herein by the Purchaser to be true and correct, the Seller Indemnified Persons shall not be entitled to recover more than the Initial Cash Consideration. The representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth in Article IV of this Agreement shall survive for a period of one year immediately following the First Closing Date.

(c) Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provided in this Article IX, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any party in connection with any Losses arising out of or resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses. None of the parties hereto shall be liable under any

provision of Section 9.1 of this Agreement for any consequential or punitive damages (other than consequential or punitive damages payable to a third party).

(d) Indemnification Calculations. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be computed net of any insurance proceeds received by the indemnified party in connection with such Losses. If an indemnified party receives insurance proceeds in connection with Losses for which it has received indemnification hereunder, such party shall refund to the indemnifying party the amount of such insurance proceeds when received, up to the amount of indemnification received. Each indemnified party agrees to use all reasonable best efforts to seek all available insurance reimbursements in connection with matters that are the subject of indemnification hereunder. If the amount with respect to which any claim is made under this Article IX or under Section 5.4 (an “Indemnity Claim”) gives rise to a currently realizable Tax Benefit (as defined below) to the party making the claim, the indemnity payment shall be reduced by the amount of such Tax Benefit available to the party making the claim. For purposes of this Section 9.1(d), a “Tax Benefit” to a party means an amount by which the tax liability of such party (or group of Affiliates including such party) is actually reduced as a result of Losses incurred by the indemnified party for which the indemnification payment is being made. Where a party has other losses, deductions, credits or items available to it, the Tax Benefit from any Losses, deductions, credits or items relating to the Indemnity Claim shall be deemed to be realized after any other losses, deductions, credits or items. For purposes of this Section 9.1(d), a Tax Benefit is “currently realizable” to the extent that such Tax Benefit can be realized in the taxable period or year in which the indemnity payment is made or in any Tax Return with respect thereto (including through a carryback to a prior taxable period) or in any taxable period or year prior to the date of the Indemnity Claim. In the event that there should be a determination disallowing the Tax Benefit, the indemnifying party shall be liable to refund to the indemnified party the amount of any related reduction previously allowed or payments previously made to the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section. The amount of the refunded reduction or payment shall be deemed a payment under this Section and thus shall be paid subject to any applicable reductions under this Section. The parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for tax purposes as an adjustment to the Aggregate Consideration, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(e) Notice and Opportunity to Defend. If there occurs an event which a party asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(b), the party or parties seeking indemnification shall notify the other party or parties obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly. If such event involves any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third person, the party seeking indemnification will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to provide prompt notice as provided herein will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent that such failure prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In case any such action shall be brought against any party seeking indemnification and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such party or parties seeking indemnification of such election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the party or parties seeking indemnification

hereunder for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such party or parties in connection with the defense thereof. The Indemnifying Party and the party seeking indemnification agree to cooperate fully with each other and their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such action or asserted liability. The party or parties seeking indemnification shall have the right to participate at their own expense in the defense of such action or asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of an action no settlement or compromise thereof may be effected (i) by the Indemnifying Party without the written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless all relief provided is paid or satisfied in full by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) by the indemnified party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent.

Section 9.2 Limitation on Indemnification. No claim may be asserted against either party for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, unless written notice of such claim or action is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in Section 9.1 irrespective of whether the subject matter of such claim shall have occurred before or after such date.

Section 9.3 Payment in Kind. Any indemnity payable by the Seller, may, at its option, be paid with AM Ordinary Shares received by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement. For the purposes of calculating the number of AM Ordinary Shares to be paid to satisfy any such indemnity, the value of each AM Ordinary Share shall be an amount equal to forty percent (40%) (as appropriately adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or reorganization) of the closing price per AM ADS on the date one (1) Business Day prior to the payment of any such indemnity.

ARTICLE X
