If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1 (other than Section 10.1(d) as a result of the failure of any of Shareholder’s representations or warranties to be true in all material respects or the breach by Shareholder of any material covenants or agreements hereunder), Radiant shall pay to Shareholder upon demand, payable in same day funds, the reasonable legal fees and related out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Shareholder incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Related Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
11.1 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months, but, except as provided in Section 10.2, shall not survive any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.3, 5.2 and 5.3(a) shall survive the Closing indefinitely (subject to any applicable statutes of limitations). The applicable time periods specified in the preceding provisions of this Section 11.1 are each referred to as an “Indemnity Period.” This Section 11.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto in this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements that contemplates performance after the Closing or the surivival of any representation or warranty made by any of the parties hereto in any of the Related Agreements.

11.2 Indemnification Obligations of Shareholder.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing, Shareholder shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Radiant and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates, and each of the heirs, executors, successors, and assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Radiant Indemnified Parties”) from, against, and in respect of any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, costs, expenses, penalties, fines, judgments, and damages whenever arising or incurred (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Radiant Losses”) arising out of or relating to: (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Shareholder in Section 4 hereof (other than any such breach or inaccuracy of which executive officers or directors of Radiant other than Shareholder or Xxxx Xxxxx had actual knowledge as of the date hereof); and (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement, or undertaking of Shareholder in this Agreement.
(b) Shareholder’s obligations to indemnify Radiant Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof are subject to the following limitations: (i) in no event shall the aggregate Liability of Shareholder pursuant to this Section 11.2 exceed the Radiant Shares (valued at the Average Trading Price (as hereinafter defined) for such purposes); (ii) Shareholder shall have the option of satisfying any obligations to indemnify a Radiant Indemnified Party for any Radiant Losses by tendering shares of Radiant Common Stock, which shares, for such purposes, shall be valued at the Average Trading Price; (iii) the amount of any Radiant Losses shall be reduced by any amount actually received by a Radiant Indemnified Party with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (other than self insurance) or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor; and (iv) Shareholder shall be obligated to indemnify the Radiant Indemnified Parties only for those claims with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty giving rise to Radiant Losses and to which the Radiant Indemnified Parties have given Shareholder written notice thereof prior to the end of any applicable Indemnity Period.
11.3 Indemnification Obligations of Radiant.
(a) Radiant shall indemnify and hold harmless Shareholder and Shareholder’s Affiliates, heirs, beneficiaries, executors, and assigns (collectively, the “Shareholder Indemnified Parties”) from, against, and in respect of any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, costs, expenses, penalties, fines, judgments, and damages whenever arising or incurred (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or relating to: (i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Radiant in this Agreement (other than any such breach or inaccuracy of which Shareholder had actual knowledge as of the date hereof); and (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement, or undertaking of Radiant in this Agreement. The claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, costs, expenses, penalties, fines, judgments, and damages of Shareholder Indemnified Parties described in this Section 11.3(a) as to which Shareholder Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Shareholder Losses.”
(b) The amount of any Shareholder Losses shall be reduced by any amount actually received by a Shareholder Indemnified Party with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (other than self-insurance) or from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor. Radiant shall be obligated to indemnify the Shareholder Indemnified Parties only for those claims with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty giving rise to Shareholder Losses and to which the Shareholder Indemnified Parties have given Radiant written notice thereof prior to the end of any applicable Indemnity Period.
11.4 Indemnification Procedure.
(a) After receipt by a Radiant Indemnified Party or a Shareholder Indemnified Party (hereinafter referred to as, collectively, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice by a third party of any complaint or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to
10
receive payment from the other party for any Radiant Losses or Shareholder Losses (as the case may be), such Indemnified Party shall, within ten (10) days, give Radiant or Shareholder, as the appropriate indemnifying party or representative thereof (the “Indemnifying Party”), written notice of such complaint or of the commencement of such action or proceeding and copies of correspondence and documentation relating to any such claim; provided, however, that such failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Agreement with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of material rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days thereafter, to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the action or proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such 20-day period, then such Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single action or proceeding. In any action or proceeding with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, shall have the right to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at such party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any action, the defense of which it is maintaining, and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such action.
(b) No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless such settlement, compromise, or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liability arising out of such claim. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof; (ii) the terms or effect of the settlement shall not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Party thereof, or contain or result in any restriction, interference or condition that would apply to such Indemnified Party or to the conduct of any of its businesses; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain, as a condition of such settlement, a complete release of each Indemnified Party.
(c) In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim. As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has given such notice, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement or pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 11.4) and, within five Business Days of the final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party immediately available funds in an amount equal to such claim as determined hereunder.
(d) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either Shareholder or Radiant may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three arbitrators. Any such arbitration shall be held in Xxxxxx County, Atlanta before and in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”). Shareholder and Radiant shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a
11
third arbitrator. The arbitrators shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrators determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of a majority of the three arbitrators as to the validity and amount of any claim shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrators. The parties agree to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings that has become final in accordance with the Rules and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction located in Xxxxxx County, Georgia, and in connection therewith, each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consents to submit itself or himself to the personal jurisdiction of any Georgia state or federal court located in the City of Atlanta, (ii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any Georgia state or federal court located in the City of Atlanta, and (iii) waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
11.5 Sole Remedies. After the Closing, (a) the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 11 and (b) the specific performance provisions of Section 12.13, are the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnifed Party with respect to any of the matters described in Section 11.2(a) and Section 11.3(a).
12.1 Payment of Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein or in any of the Related Agreements, each party hereto shall pay its own fees and expenses incident to preparing for, entering into, and carrying out this Agreement, the Related Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
12.2 Publicity and Reports. Radiant shall coordinate all publicity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and Shareholder shall not issue any press release, publicity statement or other public notice relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or communicate with analysts or the investment community, without obtaining the prior consent of Radiant.
12.3 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that Radiant may assign all but not less than all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any Person in connection with a Change of Control of Radiant. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
12.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of Georgia, without regard to any laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
12.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by telecopy), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
12
12.6 Amendment and Waiver. Except as is otherwise required by applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time only by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. At any time prior to the Closing Date, Radiant, on the one hand, and Shareholder, on the other, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.
12.7 Parties in Interest. No provisions of this Agreement are intended, nor shall be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, affiliate, partner of any party hereto or any other Person unless specifically provided otherwise herein.
