     7.3 The Purchaser’s Agreement to Indemnify. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7, the Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers at any time after consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, from and against all Damages asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by the Sellers or any member thereof, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from a breach of any representation, warranty or agreement of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or the Related Agreements or any facts or circumstances constituting such a breach.

     7.4 Procedures for Resolution and Payment of Claims for Indemnification.

          7.4.1 Notice Claims Between the Parties. If a person or entity entitled to be indemnified under this Section 7 (the “Indemnitee”) shall incur any Damages or determine that it is likely to incur any Damages, and believes that it is entitled to be indemnified against such Damages by a party hereunder (the “Indemnitor”), such Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor a certificate (an “Indemnitee’s Certificate”) signed by the Indemnitee, which Indemnitee’s Certificate shall:

               (a) state that the Indemnitee has paid or properly accrued Damages for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and

               (b) if and to the extent practicable, specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Damages included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and basis upon which the claim for indemnification is being made and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled hereunder.

          7.4.2 Agreed Claims. Claims for Damages specified in any Indemnitee’s Certificate to which an Indemnitor shall not timely object in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Indemnitee’s Certificate and claims for Damages the validity and amount of which shall have been the subject of a final judicial determination are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims”.

          7.4.3 Right to Defend. The Indemnitor shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at the sole expense of the Indemnitor, the conduct and settlement of any third party claim giving rise to indemnification hereunder, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided that (i) the Indemnitor agrees to undertake such defense as an Agreed Claim hereunder without waiver of any claim or right the Indemnitor may have against the Indemnitee with respect to such claim, including termination of indemnification in the event that facts or circumstances become known to the Indemnitor following the undertaking of such defense that would terminate the Indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder, and (ii) the Indemnitor shall permit the Indemnitee to participate in such conduct or settlement through counsel chosen by the Indemnitee, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee.

          7.4.4 Settlement. Anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if there is a reasonable probability that a third party claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnitee other than as a result of money damages or other money payments for which the Indemnitee would be entitled to receive indemnification, the Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to defend, compromise or settle such claim; provided, however, that if such claim is settled without the Indemnitor’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have waived all rights hereunder against the Indemnitor for money damages arising out of such claim, and (ii) the Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee a release from all liability in respect to such claim.

     7.5 Remedies Cumulative. Except as herein expressly provided, the remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any party hereto of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against any other party hereto.

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term hereof in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, and the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     8.3 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall, from time to time after the date hereof, at the request of any other party hereto and without further consideration, promptly execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance, assignments, transfer and assumption, and take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request to more effectively consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
