ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1. Indemnification of Buyer. Seller shall indemnify Buyer, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all claims, actions, causes of action, arbitrations, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) ("Indemnified Amounts") incurred by the indemnified party as a result of (a) any error, inaccuracy, breach or misrepresentation in any of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Company or Seller in this Agreement, and/or (b) any violation or breach by the Company or Seller of or default by the Company or Seller under the terms of this Agreement. The indemnified party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable and necessary attorneys' fees and litigation expenses incurred in connection with successful enforcement of its rights under this Section.

Section 7.2. Indemnification of Seller and the Company. Buyer shall indemnify Seller against, and hold him harmless from and against, any and all Indemnified Amounts incurred by Seller or the Company as a result of (a) any error, inaccuracy, breach or misrepresentation in any of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of Buyer in this Agreement, and/or (b) any violation or breach by Buyer of or default by Buyer under the terms of this Agreement. The indemnified party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable and necessary attorneys' fees and litigation expenses incurred in connection with successful enforcement of his rights under this Section.

Section 7.3. Procedure. The defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation subject to indemnification under this Article shall be conducted by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party fails to conduct such defense, the indemnified parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them and the indemnifying party shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the indemnified parties promptly as statements therefor are received. The party not conducting the defense will use reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter, provided that such party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim effected without its written consent, which consent, however, shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any indemnified party wishing to claim indemnification under this Article VII, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall notify the indemnifying party (but the failure so to notify a party shall not relieve such party from any liability which it may have under this Article VII except to the extent such failure materially prejudices such party). If the indemnifying party is responsible for the attorneys’ fees of the indemnified parties, then the indemnified parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more indemnified parties.

Section 7.4. Express Negligence Rule. The indemnification obligations under this Article VII shall apply regardless of whether any suit or action results solely or in part from the passive or concurrent negligence of the indemnified party. The rights of the parties to indemnification under this Article VII shall not be limited due to any investigations heretofore or hereafter made by such parties or their representatives, regardless of negligence in the conduct of any such investigations.
