The Seller agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify the Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers, directors, stockholders, partners and representatives from and against any losses, assessments, liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which arise out of or relate to any actions or incidents caused by the Seller or the Company Group or any misrepresentation in, breach of or failure to comply with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of any Warrantor contained in this Agreement, or in any other Closing Document or in any certificate or other instrument or document furnished or to be furnished by any Seller or other Warrantors pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which are referred to hereinafter as the “Purchaser’s Losses.”

           (b)           Survival of Representations and Warranties. The Warrantors’ and the Purchaser’s representations and warranties under this Agreement, and the indemnification obligations arising solely from such representations and warranties under Section 10.12(a), respectively, shall survive the Closing and shall expire and terminate on the date(s) ninety (90) calendar days following the expiration of the maximum applicable statutes of limitations applicable to any claim giving rise to the Purchaser’s Losses, to which such representations and warranties relate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the representations and warranties as aforesaid shall not affect the rights of a party in respect of any claim made by such party prior to such termination.

           (c)           Procedures.

(i)           In the event that any Legal Proceeding shall be threatened or instituted in respect to which indemnification may be sought by one party hereto from another party under the provisions of this Section 10.12, the party seeking indemnification (“Indemnitee”) shall, reasonably promptly after acquiring actual knowledge of such threatened or instituted Legal Proceeding, cause written notice in reasonable detail of such threatened or instituted Legal Proceeding and which is covered by this indemnification, to be forwarded to the other party from which indemnification is being sought (“Indemnitor”), provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice as of any particular date as aforesaid will not affect any rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent, and only to such extent, that such failure to provide such notice actually and materially prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to adequately defend such Legal Proceeding.

                      (ii)           In the event of the initiation of any Legal Proceeding against an Indemnitee by a third party, the Indemnitor shall have the absolute right after the receipt of the notice described in Section 10.12(c)(i), at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, and (subject to Section 10.12(c)(iii)) to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Legal Proceeding or demand that relates to any Purchaser’s Losses, indemnified against hereunder, and, in such event, the Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its representatives in connection with such defense, negotiation, settlement or dealings (and the Indemnitee’s costs and expenses arising therefrom or relating thereto shall constitute Purchaser’s Losses, if the Indemnitee is the Purchaser); provided, however, that the Indemnitee may directly participate in any such Legal Proceeding so defended with counsel of its choice at its own expense, except that, if the Indemnitor fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such third party claim within 15 business days after receiving written notice from the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee reasonably believes the Indemnitor has failed to take such steps or if the Indemnitor has not undertaken fully to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect of all such Purchaser’s Losses, relating to the matter and as required hereunder, the Indemnitee may assume its own defense, and, in such event (a) the Indemnitor will be liable for all Purchaser’s Losses, reasonably paid or incurred in connection therewith, and (b) the Indemnitor shall, in any case, reasonably cooperate, at its own expense, with the Indemnitee and its representatives in connection with such defense.
 
9


 
                      (iii)           Without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Indemnitor will not enter into any settlement of any third party claim which would lead to Liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or which would otherwise adversely affect the Assets or the Business.  If a firm offer is made to settle a third party claim without leading to Liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder and the Indemnitor desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnitor will give written notice to the Indemnitee to that effect.  If the Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor that it does not consent to such firm offer within 10 calendar days after its receipt of such notice from the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such third party claim and, in such event, the maximum Liability of the Indemnitor as to such third party claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer, plus the Purchaser’s Losses, reasonably paid or incurred by the Indemnitee through the end of such 10-calendar day period.

                      (iv)           After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be indemnified by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnitee shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter, and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Indemnitee by wire transfer or certified or bank cashier’s check within 30 days after the date of such notice.  Any and all Purchaser’s Losses other than those described in the preceding sentence (including Purchaser’s Losses incurred in the absence of any threatened or pending Legal Proceeding, or Purchaser’s Losses incurred after any such Legal Proceeding has been threatened or instituted but prior to the rendering of any final judgment or award in connection therewith), shall be paid by the Indemnitor on a current basis, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to invoice the Indemnitor for such Purchaser’s Losses, as frequently as it deems appropriate, and the amount of any such Purchaser’s Losses, which are described or listed in any such invoice shall be paid to the Indemnitee, by wire transfer or certified or bank cashier’s check, within 30 days after the date of such invoice.
