9.3.  Defense of Claims.

 

(a)  Each party seeking indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitee”): (i) shall provide the other party or parties (the “Indemnitor”) written notice of any claim or action by a third party arising after the Closing Date for which an Indemnitor may be liable under the terms of this Agreement, within ten (10) days after such claim or action arises and is known to Indemnitee, and (ii) shall give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to participate in any proceedings and to settle or defend any such claim or action. The expenses of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits with respect to such claims or actions shall be borne by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor wishes to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnitor shall give written notice to the Indemnitee within ten (10) days after notice from the Indemnitee of such claim or action, and the Indemnitor shall thereafter assume the defense of any such claim or liability, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, provided that Indemnitee may participate in such defense at their own expense, and the Indemnitor shall, in any event, have the right to control the defense of the claim or action.

 

 

(b)  If the Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of, or if after so assuming it shall fail to defend, any such claim or action, the Indemnitee may defend against any such claim or action in such manner as they may deem appropriate and the Indemnitees may settle such claim or litigation on such terms as they may deem appropriate but subject to the Indemnitor’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any such settlement shall be deemed approved by the Indemnitor if the Indemnitor fails to object thereto, by written notice to the Indemnitee, within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnitor’s receipt of a written summary of such settlement. The Indemnitor shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense and settlement of such claim or action.

 

(c)  If a non-appealable judgment is rendered against any Indemnitee in any action covered by the indemnification hereunder, or any lien attaches to any of the assets of any of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall immediately upon such entry or attachment pay such judgment in full or discharge such lien unless, at the expense and direction of the Indemnitor, an appeal is taken under which the execution of the judgment or satisfaction of the lien is stayed. If and when a final judgment is rendered in any such action, the Indemnitor shall forthwith pay such judgment or discharge such lien before any Indemnitee is compelled to do so.

 

9.4.  Waiver. The failure of any Indemnitee to give any notice or to take any action hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the rights of such Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent that Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such failure.

 

9.5.  Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

 

9.5.1.  Time Limitation. No party shall be responsible hereunder for any Indemnifiable Loss unless the Indemnitee shall have provided such party with written notice containing a reasonable description of the claim, action or circumstances giving rise to such Indemnifiable Loss within three (3) years after the Closing Date (the “Indemnity Notice Period”); provided, however, that:

 

(a)  with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss resulting or arising from any breach of a representation or warranty of the Company Shareholder relating to taxes, or any tax liability of the Company arising or relating to periods prior to the Closing Date, the Indemnity Notice Period shall extend for the full duration of the statute of limitations; and

 

(b)  there shall be no limit on the Indemnity Notice Period for indemnity claims: (i) against the Company Shareholder for Indemnifiable Losses arising or resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty relating to Environmental Laws, or any liability which relates to the handling or disposal of Wastes or the failure to comply with any Environmental Law; and (ii) against any party based on fraud or intentional breach or misrepresentation.

The aggregate liability of the Company Shareholder after the Closing for ARC Losses shall not exceed an amount equal to ___ Dollars (US $______), which represents the value of the Exchange Consideration paid to the Company Shareholder as of the Closing Date. The aggregate liability of ARC after the Closing for Shareholder Losses shall not exceed ____ Dollars (US $___), which represents the value of the Exchange Consideration paid to the Company Shareholder as of the Closing Date.

 

9.5.3.  Basket. No party shall have any liability hereunder for Indemnifiable Losses after the Closing, with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties contained herein, until the aggregate of all Indemnifiable Losses for which the Shareholder or ARC as applicable, are responsible under this Agreement exceeds Ten Thousand ($10,000) Dollars (the “Basket”); provided that once such Basket is exceeded for the Company Shareholder or ARC as applicable, the responsible party or parties shall be responsible for all Indemnifiable Losses, from the first dollar as if such Basket never existed; and further provided that this Section 9.5.3 shall not limit in any respect indemnity claims: (a) based upon fraud or intentional breach or intentional misrepresentation; (b) arising from a breach by the ARC Indemnitor of any covenant contained in this Agreement; (c) arising from a breach by the Company Shareholder of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.2 hereof; or (d) related to any tax or tax liability of the Company for periods prior to the Closing Date.
