8.5 Procedure; Notice of Claims.

(a) Any indemnified party (the “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification hereunder shall, within the relevant limitation period provided for in Section 8.1, give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claims for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement, or any agreement, certificate or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third party as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; and provided further that failure to give such notice promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice and to pay such amount to such Indemnified Party in immediately available funds or (ii) provide such Indemnified Party with written notice that it disagrees (and the reasons therefor) with the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”). The Indemnified Party may commence at any time thereafter such legal action or proceedings as it deems appropriate to enforce the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to the provisions of Article 8. The failure to file a Dispute Notice within the time permitted shall be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement by the Indemnifying Party of its acquiescence to the amount and method of determination of the claim in the Claim Notice.

8.6 Procedure - Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party will, if a claim for indemnification is to be made against an Indemnifying Party, provide to the Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such claim (together with copies of any legal papers served), provided, however that the failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced or made more expensive by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If any Third Party Claim is brought against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party gives notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim at its expense, provided that (x) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party has adequate resources to undertake such defense and satisfy any indemnifiable Losses arising from such Third Party Claim and (y) the selection of counsel is approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnified Party so determines that the Indemnifying Party does not have adequate resources, or the Indemnifying Party shall elect not to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, or fails to make such an election within twenty (20) days after it receives notice pursuant to Section 8.6(a), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or any good faith compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Party to which the Indemnifying Party consents, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of a Third Party Claim defended by the Indemnifying Party hereunder and to retain its own counsel in connection with such Third Party Claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s expense unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties in any Third Party Claim (included impleaded parties) include the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not be permitted to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim). Unless otherwise agreed by the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnifying Party is obligated to pay the fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay only the fees and expenses associated with one attorney or law firm (plus local counsel as required), as applicable, for the Indemnified Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim and subsequently determines that the Third Party Claim is not subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall give prompt notice of such fact to the Indemnified Party, after which the Indemnified Party shall have the right to reassume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided that the failure by the Indemnifying Party to promptly notify the Indemnified Party of any such determination shall not result in any liability to the Indemnifying Party except to the extent that the Indemnified Party demonstrates that the defense of such action has been prejudiced or made more costly by the Indemnifying Party’s failure to give such notice. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim and subsequently determines that such claim is not subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, following its delivery of the notice contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, to withdraw from such defense, and such withdrawal shall not result in any liability to the Indemnifying Party except to the extent that the Indemnified Party demonstrates that the defense of such action has been prejudiced or made more costly by the timing of the Indemnifying Party’s withdrawal.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, (x) no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless (i) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the compromise or settlement includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party, (iii) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, and (iv) there is no effect on any other Third Party Claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party; and (y) the Indemnified Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent as may be required pursuant to clause (x) above.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exclusive remedy sought under a Third Party Claim is for injunctive relief for which an Indemnified Party may be liable, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such proceeding, but the Indemnifying Party, although still liable for the payment of all reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, will not be bound by any determination of a proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In addition, if a Third Party Claim seeks both injunctive or other non-monetary relief and monetary damages, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, participate in the defense of such proceeding at its own cost.

(f) With respect to any obligations of an Indemnifying Party and an Indemnified Party which arise pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to cooperate with each other as reasonably requested by the other.

8.7 Remedies. Subject to Section 6.5(c) and 7.2 hereof and except as otherwise may be specifically provided in this Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for breach of this Agreement shall be restricted to the indemnification rights set forth in this Article 8; provided, however, that no party hereto shall be deemed to have waived any rights, claims, causes of action or remedies if and to the extent such rights, claims, causes of action or remedies may not be waived under Applicable Law.

8.8 Certain Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties to this Agreement shall only be liable to indemnify each other for compensatory damages, and, accordingly, in the absence of actual fraud, neither party shall be entitled to recover from the other special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages pursuant to this Article 8 unless, and then only to the extent that, the same are components of a Third Party Claim for which an Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder.

(b) Each party’s aggregate liability for indemnification under Section 8.3 and 8.4 (b) respectively, as applicable, shall not exceed an amount equal to $5,000,000 (the “Liability Cap”); provided, however, the Liability Cap shall not apply to (i) any Losses of any Indemnified Party resulting from fraud on the part of the Indemnifying Party; (ii) any Losses of the Purchaser resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.4, which shall have a separate cap limitation of $10,000,000.

(c) The Stockholders shall not be liable for Losses under Section 8.3 unless and until such Losses exceed $150,000 in the aggregate, without taking into account materiality other than under Section 4.11 (the “Purchaser Basket Amount”), it being understood that the Stockholders shall not be liable, in any event, for the aggregate amount of Losses equal to the Purchaser Basket Amount; provided, however, that the Purchaser Basket Amount shall not apply to (i) any Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties resulting from fraud on the part of the Stockholders; (ii) any breach of the Bank Debt Representation; (iii) any expenses to be paid by the Stockholders pursuant to Section 6.2 and/or any Liabilities expressly assumed by the Stockholders pursuant to any section of this Agreement; and (iv) any liability of the Company for payroll taxes that were due and payable during the Pre-Closing Period but not paid; and (v) any of the Liabilities described in Sections 8.3 (e) and (f).

(d) The Purchaser shall not be liable under Section 8.4(b) for Losses under such section unless and until such Losses exceed $150,000 in the aggregate (the “Stockholder Basket Amount”), it being understood that the Purchaser shall not be liable, in any event, for that portion of the aggregate amount of such Losses which is equal to the Stockholder Basket Amount; provided, however, that the Stockholder Basket Amount shall not apply to any Losses of the Stockholder Indemnified Parties resulting from fraud on the part of the Purchaser.

(e) It is agreed that for the purpose of making a claim for indemnification, the expiration of any one survival period, as set forth in Section 8.1, of certain representations and warranties, shall not affect the ability to make any claim for indemnification hereunder under any other representations and warranties still surviving; provided that no party shall be entitled to make a claim for indemnification more than once on account of the same facts and circumstances or to aggregate the same for purposes of the Stockholder or Purchaser Basket Amounts.

8.9. Knowledge. An Indemnified Party’s knowledge of facts that would make any warranty or representation made to such Indemnified Party untrue or inaccurate in any way as of the Closing Date, nevertheless shall not constitute a defense to, or otherwise estop such party from asserting subsequently, any claim for indemnification for breach of such warranty or representation on the basis of those facts.

The Stockholders’ Representative shall be indemnified by the Stockholders for and shall be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative as the Stockholders’ Representation and not as a Stockholder arising out of or in connection with his performance under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

10.6. Reasonable Reliance. In the performance of his duties hereunder, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely upon any document or instrument reasonably believed by him to be genuine, accurate as to content and signed by any Shareholder or Purchaser.

10.7. Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) The Stockholders’ Representative is hereby appointed and constituted the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Stockholder, with full power in his or her name and on his, or her behalf to act according to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and in general to do all things and to perform all acts including, without limitation, executing and delivering notices contemplated by in connection with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

10.9. Removal or Resignation of Stockholders’ Representative; Authority of Successor Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) Stockholders who in the aggregate hold at least a Majority in Interest in the Escrow Fund shall have the right at any time during the term of the Escrow Agreement to remove the then-acting Stockholders’ Representative and to appoint a successor Stockholders’ Representative; provided, however, that neither such removal of the then acting Stockholders’ Representative nor such appointment of a successor Stockholders’ Representative shall be effective until the delivery to the Escrow Agents of executed counterparts of a writing signed by each such Stockholder with respect to such removal and appointment, together with an acknowledgment signed by the successor Stockholders’ Representative appointed in such writing that he or she accepts the responsibility of successor Stockholders’ Representative and agrees to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Stockholders’ Representative. The removed Stockholders’ Representative shall thereafter be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement.

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative may resign at any time upon giving at least thirty (30) days written notice to the other parties hereto and to the Stockholders; provided, however, that no such resignation shall become effective until the appointment of a successor Stockholders’ Representative in accordance with this Section. Stockholders who in the aggregate hold at least a Majority in Interest in the Escrow Fund shall appoint a successor Stockholders’ Representative and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to make such appointment within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice. Such appointment of a successor Stockholders’ Representative shall not be effective until the delivery to the Escrow Agent of executed counterparts of a writing signed by each such Stockholder with respect to such removal and appointment, together with an acknowledgment signed by the successor Stockholders’ Representative appointed in such writing that he or she accepts the responsibility of successor Stockholders’ Representative and agrees to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Stockholders’ Representative. The resigned Stockholders’ Representative shall thereafter be discharged from any further duties and liability under this Agreement.

(c) Each successor Stockholders’ Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Stockholders’ Representative, and the term “Stockholders’ Representative” as used herein and in the Escrow Agreement shall be deemed to include any interim or successor Stockholders’ Representative.

10.10. Expenses of Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to recover from the Stockholders reimbursement for out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal, accounting and other advisors’ fees and expenses, if applicable) incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in performing under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in his capacity as Stockholders’ Representative and not as a Stockholder. The Stockholders’ Representative shall be entitled to recover from any distribution made to the Stockholders from the Escrow Fund from time to time the amount of any such unpaid fees and expenses.

10.11. Purchaser’s Reliance. Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by the Stockholders Representative, without any liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Shareholder, even if Purchaser or such party were aware of any actual or potential dispute among the Stockholders. Purchaser shall not be obliged to inquire into the authority of the Stockholders’ Representative or the genuineness of his signature on any writing, and Purchaser otherwise shall be fully protected in dealing with the Stockholders’ Representative in all respects.
