officers and directors (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), against, and agrees to hold Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from, any and all losses, costs, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred or sustained by any Buyer Indemnified Party to the extent arising out of:
          (i) any breach of any representation or warranty by Sellers contained herein;

          (iii) any Retained Liabilities.
     (b) The aggregate indemnification obligation for Damages under Section 9.2(a) shall not exceed $1,750,000; provided, however, that the application of the limitations set forth in this Section 9.2(b) shall not apply to any Damages arising from any third party claims against Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to Retained Liabilities; and provided further that this limitation shall not apply to breaches of Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.8, 3.10 and 3.15 (a “Sellers Fundamental Representation”).

          (i) any breach of any representation or warranty by Buyer contained herein; and

43


 

     9.4 DEDUCTIBLE
     (a) No claim for Damages arising out of any breach shall be made under Sections 9.2(a)(i) and/or (ii) or 9.3(a)(i) and/or (ii) unless the aggregate amount of Damages for which claims are made under Sections 9.2(a)(i) and/or (ii) or 9.3(a)(i) and/or (ii) exceeds $200,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case, Buyer Indemnified Parties, or Seller Indemnified Parties as the case may be, shall be entitled to seek compensation only for Damages in excess of such amount, subject to Section 9.2(b) or Section 9.3(b); provided, however, that the application of the Deductible shall not apply to any Damages arising from any third party claim against Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to Retained Liabilities, and from any claim against Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to Assumed Liabilities, or with respect to a breach of a Sellers Fundamental Representation or a Buyer fundamental Representation.
     (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers, or Buyer as the case may be, shall have no obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i) and/or (ii) or 9.3(a)(i) and/or (ii) (and no amount shall be deducted from the Deductible) with respect to any individual claim for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, Seller Indemnified Parties as the case may be, except to the extent that the amount of indemnification to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or Seller Indemnified Parties as the case may be, shall have become entitled to under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 as the case may be, with respect to such individual claim for indemnification shall exceed $25,000, in which event all amounts with respect to such individual claim, shall be applied against the Deductible, and if and when such Deductible is exceeded, Sellers, or Buyer as the case may be, shall be obligated, subject to the other provisions of this Article 9 (including, without limitation, Section 9.4(a)), to provide indemnification with respect to such individual claim.
     9.5 NET LOSSES; SUBROGATION; MITIGATION
     (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Damages incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Damages, (ii) any Tax Advantage realized by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Damages, and (iii) any recoveries obtained by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) from any other third party. Each Indemnified Party shall exercise reasonable best efforts to obtain such proceeds, benefits and recoveries. If any such proceeds, benefits or recoveries are received by an Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Damages after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment to the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party (or such Affiliate) shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment).
     (b) Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Damages, the Indemnifying Party shall, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all

44


 

rights of the Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) against any third party in respect of the Damages to which such payment relates. Such Indemnified Party (and its Affiliates) and Indemnifying Party shall execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence or further perfect such subrogation rights.
     (c) Buyer and Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to mitigate any Damages, whether by asserting claims against a third party or by otherwise qualifying for a benefit that would reduce or eliminate an indemnified matter; provided, that no party shall be required to use such efforts if they would be demonstrably detrimental in any material respect to such party.
     9.6 CLAIMS
     As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement that does not involve a third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party of such claim, which notice shall, to the extent such information is reasonably available, specify in reasonable detail the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim, the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations alleged to have been breached and the amount that the Indemnified Party seeks hereunder from the Indemnifying Party, together with such information, to the extent such information is reasonably available, as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Party to determine that the limitations in Section 9.4 have been satisfied or do not apply.
     9.7 NOTICE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS; ASSUMPTION OF DEFENSE
     The Indemnified Party shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after receiving notice thereof, to the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement (which notice shall, to the extent such information is reasonably available, specify in reasonable detail the facts alleged to constitute the basis for such claim, the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations alleged to have been breached and the amount of such claim together with such information as may be necessary for the Indemnifying Party to determine that the limitations in Section 9.4 have been satisfied or do not apply); provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party may, at its own expense, (a) participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, and (b) upon notice to the Indemnified Party at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choice. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. Whether or not the

45


 

Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.
     9.8 SETTLEMENT OR COMPROMISE
     Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Party (unless the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a claim) shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, that (i) no obligation, restriction or Damage shall be imposed on the Indemnified Party as a result of such settlement or compromise without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party will compromise or settle any claim, suit, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
     9.9 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
     Notwithstanding any provision herein, neither of Sellers nor Buyer shall in any event be liable to the other parties hereto, Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, on account of any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Ancillary Agreements for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental or punitive damages (including lost profits, loss of use, damage to goodwill or loss of business).
     9.10 EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
     Except for any claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9 shall provide the exclusive remedy for breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement.
10. GENERAL PROVISIONS
     10.1 EXPENSES
     Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement will bear its respective fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including all fees and expense of its Representatives.
     10.2 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS
     Sellers and Buyer each agree that they and their Affiliates shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or respond to any media inquiry with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior approval of the other parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as may be

46


 

required by Law or by any stock exchanges having jurisdiction over Sellers, Buyer or their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, three (3) months after the Closing, Sellers or Buyer will be entitled to issue any such press release or make any such other public announcement without obtaining such prior approval.
     10.3 NOTICES
     All notices, Consents, waivers and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given to a party when (a) delivered to the appropriate address by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid); (b) sent by facsimile or e-mail with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting equipment or the receiving party; or (c) received or rejected by the addressee, if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, in each case to the following addresses, facsimile numbers or e-mail addresses and marked to the attention of the person (by name or title) designated below (or to such other address, facsimile number, e-mail address or person as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

     10.4 JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS
     Any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction may be brought in the courts of the State of Oregon, Multnomah County, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Proceeding, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any such court and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Contemplated Transaction in any other court. The parties agree that either or both of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and bargained agreement between the parties irrevocably to waive any objections to venue or to convenience of forum. Process in any Proceeding referred to in the first sentence of this section may be served on any party anywhere in the world.
     10.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION
     This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter (other than the Confidentiality Agreement) and constitutes (along with the Schedule of Exceptions, Schedules, Exhibits and Ancillary Agreements) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except by a written agreement executed by the party to be charged with the amendment. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Schedules and the Schedule of Exceptions may be amended and updated between the date hereof and the Closing Date, as mutually and reasonably acceptable to the parties, in order to reflect more accurately the information set forth therein.
     10.6 SCHEDULE OF EXCEPTIONS
     (a) Any information disclosed pursuant to any Schedule hereto or otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing shall be deemed to be disclosed to Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement.

48


 

     (b) Sellers may elect at any time to notify Buyer of any development causing a breach of any of Sellers’ representations and warranties. Unless Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a) because of such breach of a representation and warranty and Buyer exercises that right within three (3) Business Days of notification of such breach, the written notice pursuant to this Section 10.6(b) will be deemed to have amended the appropriate Schedule, to have qualified the Sellers’ representations and warranties, and to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of the development.
     10.7 ASSIGNMENTS, SUCCESSORS AND NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS
     No party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 10.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement may be assigned by Buyer to Copy Centers at Closing without the consent of Sellers, provided that advance written notice of the assignment is given to Sellers, and Copy Centers continues to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement in all respects and to the same extent as Buyer. Following the Closing, the payment in full of the Purchase Price, and the assignment by Buyer of all of its rights and obligations to Copy Centers, Buyer shall no longer be bound by the obligations hereunder, other than (i) the obligation to pay the Adjustment Amount (if any) to Sellers in accordance with Section 2.9 hereof and (ii) the obligations of Buyer set forth in Sections 5.11(b) and 5.11(c) hereof.
     10.8 HEADINGS
