(b)          the non-performance of any covenants or agreements made by Seller under this Agreement (other than the covenants and agreements contained in Article 1 (except for Section 1.4, which is addressed in the last two sentences of this Section 8.1) and Sections 4.6, 4.8, 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 9.9, 9.10 and 9.14);

(c)          the nonperformance of any covenants or agreements made by Seller under Article 1 (except for Section 1.4, which is addressed in the last two sentences of this Section 8.1) or Sections 4.6, 4.8, 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 9.9, 9.10 or 9.14; and

(d) all items listed on Schedules provided by Seller

provided, that, each Seller, shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates, and hold each of Buyer and such Affiliates, harmless from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising from the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1(b) and the first and fourth sentences of Section 2.2 above, the nonperformance of any covenants made by Seller under Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 above, any agreement delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.2(g) or fraud. No party shall make any claim for indemnification under this Agreement in respect of any matter that is taken into account in the calculation of any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.4. Such adjustment shall be an independent obligation of the parties not subject to any of the limitations of Article 8.

8.2 Obligation of Buyer.

Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and its Affiliates, and hold each of Seller and such Affiliates, harmless, from, against and in respect of any and all Losses arising from any of the following:

(a)          any breach of any of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in or pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement;

(b)          the nonperformance of any covenants or agreements made by Buyer under this Agreement;

(c)          the Business, to the extent that extraordinary losses occur related to the conduct of the Business by Parent or Buyer in the thirty (30)days after the Closing Date.

8.3 Time Limitation on Indemnification.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim may be made or suit or other Action instituted under Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(b), 8.1(c), 8.2(a) and 8.2(b) following the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.3 (the “General Survival Period”) except for Reserved Claims. The term “Reserved Claims” shall mean: (a) all claims as to which any Indemnified Party has in good faith given any Indemnifying Party written notice on or prior to the end of the applicable General Survival Period; and (b) all claims to the extent alleging fraud (defined to require at a minimum intent to deceive). No claim may be made or suit or other Action instituted under any provision of this Article 8 unless the Indemnified Party provides written notice to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable period provided in Section 7.3 (which written notice shall describe the facts then known by the Indemnified Party relating to such claim, including, without limitation, the reason why the Indemnified Party believes the claim is subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party, and which for third-party claims, shall attach, if available, a copy of the written instrument or instruments in which the third party claim is asserted).

8.4 Monetary Limitations on Indemnification.

Neither Seller, nor Buyer, shall not have any liability for indemnification to the other in excess of $100,000.

8.5 Third Party Claims.

Promptly after the receipt by any Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any Action against such Indemnified Party by a third party (other than any Action relating to Taxes governed by Section 8.7), such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim with respect thereto is or may be made against any Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 8, give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder except where, and then solely to the extent that, such failure actually prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have the absolute right after the receipt of notice to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Action, at such Indemnifying Party’s expense and with counsel of its choice, provided that the Indemnifying Party so notifies the Indemnified Party that it will defend such Action within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice and commences the defense of such Action; provided, however, Indemnified Party may participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense and the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Action unless Indemnified Party is fully released without any admission of liability, and the Indemnified Party is not otherwise obligated to undertake any action, or restricted in taking any action by the terms of such settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of such Action in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.5, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Action with counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to Seller and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the costs thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred. The Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any judgment or settlement with respect to such Action effected without its prior written consent. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such indemnity claim.

8.6 Not Applicable.

8.7 Certain Tax Matters.

(a)          Seller Indemnity. Seller agrees, to  defend and hold harmless Buyer against (i) any Tax due and payable by or on behalf of Company  following the Closing Date that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (collectively, all of such Taxes are referred to herein as the “Aggregate Pre-Closing Taxes”), and (ii) any deficiencies in any Tax payable by or on behalf of Company arising from any audit by any taxing agency or

authority with respect to any of the Aggregate Pre-Closing Taxes, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be liable for any Taxes attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods that have been paid by Company prior to the Closing Date nor shall Seller be liable for any Aggregate Pre-Closing Taxes attributable to Tax periods ending on or before the Interim Balance Sheet Date unless the aggregate amount of all such Taxes attributable to Tax periods ending on or before the Interim Balance Sheet Date (and not paid by Company on or prior to the Closing Date) exceeds the amount, if any, reserved for such Taxes on the face of the Company Interim Balance Sheet and is included in the Final Working Capital Statement. The term “Pre Closing Tax Period” shall mean all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

(b)          Buyer Indemnity. Buyer shall be liable for and shall pay (and shall indemnify and hold Seller and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns harmless from and against) all Taxes of or attributable to Company that are attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period. The term “Post-Closing Tax Period” shall mean all taxable periods beginning after the Closing Date.

(c)          Not Applicable.

(d)          Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer.

(e)          Cooperation in Tax Matters. Each party to this Agreement (a “Party,” or collectively the “Parties”) shall provide the other Parties with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by such Party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to Liability for Taxes, and shall retain and provide the other Parties with any records or information which may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination, proceedings or determination (but only to the extent he, she or it had possession of such records or other information immediately after the Closing). Such assistance shall include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and shall include providing copies of any relevant Tax Return and supporting work schedules. The Party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other Parties for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance. Without limiting the provision of this Section 8.7(e) Buyer agrees that it shall retain, until the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, copies of all Tax Returns, work schedules and other records or information which Buyer, Company possesses and which may be relevant to such Tax Returns of Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

(f)           Overpayment. Any overpayment of Taxes by Company and/or Seller on behalf of Company, plus any interest thereon, resulting from an audit or examination of any Pre-Closing Tax Return (“Tax Refunds”) shall be remitted by Buyer to Seller within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such overpayment by Buyer or Company, or if such excess is applied to other Taxes owed by Buyer or Company for which Seller is not responsible, within fifteen (15) days of filing of the relevant Tax Return applying such overpayment.

8.8 Insurance Proceeds.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no indemnification shall be made by Seller with respect to any matter to the extent that insurance proceeds have been collected by Buyer with respect to that matter. Buyer and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

8.9 Tax Benefits.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in determining the amount of any claims of an Indemnified Party (“Claims”), such amount shall be reduced by the amount of any tax benefit effects (“Tax Benefits Effects”) accruing to the Indemnified Party related to the Claims or the payments made pursuant to such Claims. The Tax Benefits Effects shall be determined by taking into account all facts and circumstances existing at the date of the Closing through the future date(s) to which such benefits run (to the extent of the present value thereof, discounted at the applicable federal rate, as of the date of such indemnification). For

purposes of determining the time or times at which Tax Benefits Effects shall be taken into account to reduce any indemnification claims hereunder, the parties agree that Tax Benefits Effects shall reduce the amount of any indemnification claims only if, as and when actually realized by the Indemnified Party. If an Indemnifying Party has paid for an indemnification claim which is later subject to reduction due to a Tax Benefits Effect, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay such amount to the Indemnifying Party.

8.10 Subrogation.

Upon making any indemnity payment pursuant to this Article 8, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the Losses to which the payment related. The parties hereto will execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights.

8.11 Specific Performance.

Each party’s obligation under this Agreement is unique. If any party should breach its covenants under this Agreement, the parties each acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the nonbreaching party or parties, in addition to any other available rights or remedies they may have under the terms of this Agreement, may sue in equity for specific performance, and each party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.

8.12 Exclusive Remedy.

From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or warranty, or any breach or alleged breach or non-performance of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement and any related agreements or documents, shall be indemnification in accordance with Section 1.7 or this Article 8. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (including rights of contributions, if any) known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that it may have against Seller or Buyer and Parent, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any federal, state or local Law (including any such Law relating to banking or regulatory matters or arising under or based upon any securities Law, common Law or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.12 shall not operate to (i) interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Article 1 providing for the resolution of certain disputes relating to the Purchase Price between the parties and/or by an independent accountant or (ii) limit the rights of the parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) or to redress fraud (defined to require, at a minimum, intent to deceive).
