breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement, or a claim by a third party which, without regard to the merits of the claim, would constitute a breach or misrepresentation.
(b)
Conditions of Indemnification for Third Party Claims. The obligations and liabilities of the parties under this Article 6 shall be subject to the following conditions:
(1)
The party entitled to be indemnified hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the party obligated to provide the indemnity (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt notice of any Third Party Claim (the “Claim Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party promptly acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify in accordance with the terms and subject to the limitations of such party's obligation to indemnify contained in this Agreement with respect to that claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have a reasonable time to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim at its expense and with counsel of its choosing, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Any Claim Notice shall identify, to the extent known to the Indemnified Party, the basis for the Third Party Claim, the facts giv ing rise to the Third Party Claim, and the estimated amount of the Third Party Claim (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim or demand). The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of all relevant documents and records in its possession.
(2)
If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after receipt of such Claim Notice, fails to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.01(b)(1), the Indemnified Party shall (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim, at the expense and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party.
(3)
Anything in this Section 6.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim; (ii) if such Third Party Claim involves an issue or matter which the Indemnified Party believes will have a materially adverse effect on the Indemnified Party's business, operations, assets, properties or prospects of its business, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of any such claim or demand, at the expense of the Indemnified Party without contribution from the Indem nifying Party; and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel to defend any claim at the expense of the Indemnify Party if (x) the employment of such counsel by the Indemnified Party has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party, or (y) counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of such action or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim in accordance with Section 6.01(b).
(4)
Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent any Indemnified Party from making a claim hereunder for potential or contingent claims or demands, provided that (i) the Claim Notice sets forth (A) the specific basis for any such potential or contingent claim or demand and (B) the estimated amount thereof (to the extent then feasible) and (ii) the Indemnified Party has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim or demand will be made.
(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a party’s right to indemnification shall not arise until the aggregate claims (exclusive of attorney fees) exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).
(6) This Article VI shall survive the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein; PROVIDED HOWEVER that no claim for indemnification may be made after the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing of this transaction.
