ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION

4.1 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. From and after the Closing, the Investor and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company for and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, actions, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them (including any action brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (hereinafter a “Loss”), arising out of or resulting from the breach of (i) any representation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or (ii) any covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement.

-17-

(b) Indemnification by Investor. From and after the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Investor for and against any and all Losses, arising out of or resulting from the breach of (i) any representation of the Investor contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or (ii) any covenant of the Investor contained in this Agreement.

4.2 Notice of Loss; Limitations. (a) A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 4.1 unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any such notice must be delivered prior to the expiration of the survival period for the relevant representation or covenant. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to hire, at its own expense, separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume and conduct the defense thereof, unless the counsel to the Indemnified Party advises such Indemnifying Party in writing that such claim involves a conflict of interest (other than one of a monetary nature) that would reasonably be expected to make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with respect to any single action or group of related actions); provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with respect to any single action or group of related actions). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and each Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall

-18-

not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

(b) The Company shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.1(a), (i) with respect to any claim for indemnification if the amount of Losses with respect to such claim (together with all related claims) are less than $50,000 (any claim or series of related claims involving Losses less than such amount being referred to as a “De Minimis Claim”) and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to Section 4.1(a) exceeds 1% of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event the Company shall be responsible for only the amount of such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount.

(c) The Investor shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 4.1(b), (i) with respect to any De Minimis Claim and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims (other than De Minimis Claims) pursuant to Section 4.1(b) exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event the Investor shall be responsible for only the amount of such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount.

(d) The cumulative indemnification obligation of (i) the Company to the Investor and all of the Indemnified Parties Affiliated with (or whose claims are permitted by virtue of their relationship with) the Investor (other than another investor that is party to an Additional Agreement) or (ii) the Investor to the Company and the Indemnified Parties Affiliated with (or whose claims are permitted by virtue of their relationship with) the Company for inaccuracies in or breaches of representations shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price.

(e) The indemnity provided for in Section 4.1 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnified Parties after the Closing for any inaccuracy of any representation or any other breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall limit in any way any such party’s remedies in respect of fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. No party to this Agreement (or any of its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party (or any of its Affiliates) for any consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages of such other party (or any of its Affiliates) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance or breach hereof.
