ARTICLE IV SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION SECTION 4.1 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in Articles II and III hereof shall survive until the first anniversary of the date hereof. SECTION 4.2 Indemnification. Each party (including its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns (each an "Indemnified Party")) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the other parties hereto (each an "Indemnifying Party") for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them (collectively, "Losses"), arising out of or resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty made by an Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate liability of any Investor under this Article IV shall in no event exceed fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price paid by such Investor for the Shares purchased by it and the aggregate liability of the Company under this Article IV shall in no event exceed fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price paid by the Investors for the Shares, except that the Company's liability for a violation of any of the representations and warranties contained in the first two sentences of Section 2.7 may exceed such limitation, but shall in no event exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price paid by the Investors for the Shares. SECTION 4.3 Indemnification Procedure. The obligations and liabilities of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IV with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third Page 21 of 36 Pages party that are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article IV ("Third Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim promptly after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice (which notice shall include the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises); provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IV except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article IV. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within five (5) days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its or his expense and through counsel of its or his choice (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party); provided, however, that, if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its or his own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to such Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party's possession or under the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all such witnesses (including himself), records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party's possession or under the Indemnifying Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, in the event that the Indemnified Party does not consent to any such settlement that would provide it with a full release from indemnified Loss and would not require it to take, or refrain from taking, any action, the Indemnifying Party's liability for indemnification shall not exceed the amount of such proposed settlement. The Indemnified Party will refrain from any act or omission that is inconsistent with the position taken by the Indemnifying Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim unless the Indemnified Party determines that such act or omission is reasonably necessary to protect its own interest. Page 22 of 36 Pages ARTICLE V MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 5.1 Change of Control Provision. For so long as any of the Shares are owned by the Investors or their affiliates, the Company will not agree to, or take any action to approve or otherwise facilitate any, merger or consolidation or Change of Control (including granting approvals required under applicable anti-takeover statutes), unless provision has been made for the holders of the Shares to receive from the acquiror or any other person or entity (other than the Company) as a result of and in connection with the transaction an amount in cash equal to the aggregate liquidation preference for the Shares held by them, as set forth in the Certificate of Powers, Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series 2002 Preferred Stock.
