AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

 
5.6.2 To the extent there is any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time) against an Indemnified Party that arises out of or pertains to any action or omission in his or her capacity as director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company occurring prior to the Effective Time, or arises out of or pertains to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for a period lasting until the expiration of two years after the Effective Time (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), in each case for which such Indemnified Party is indemnified under this Section, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be represented by counsel, which counsel shall be counsel of Parent (provided that if use of counsel of Parent would be expected under applicable standards of professional conduct to give rise to a conflict between the position of the Indemnified Person and of Parent, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled instead to be represented by counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to Parent) and following the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, promptly after statements therefor are received and the Surviving Corporation and Parent will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, that neither the Surviving Corporation nor Parent shall be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that, in the event that any claim or claims for indemnification are asserted or made prior to the expiration of such two year period, all rights to indemnification in respect to any such claim or claims shall continue until the disposition of any and all such claims. The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm (in addition to local counsel) to represent them with respect to any single action unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the position of any two or more Indemnified Parties.
 
5.6.3 The provisions of this Section are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and representatives.

For this purpose, “indemnifiable damages” of the Company means the aggregate of all expenses, losses, costs, deficiencies, liabilities and damages (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred or suffered by the Company, as a result of or in connection with: (1) any inaccurate representation or warranty made by the Parent in or pursuant to this Agreement, (2) any default in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements made by the Parent in this Agreement, or (3) any failure of the Parent to pay, discharge or perform any of its liabilities, or any asserted liability to the extent resulting from any dispute or claim against Company concerning any of the Excluded Liabilities.
 
19
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

 
5.6.5 After the Effective Date, the Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Parent and their shareholders harmless from and against all indemnifiable damages of the Parent. For this purpose, “indemnifiable damages” of the Parent means the aggregate of all expenses, losses, costs, deficiencies, liabilities and damages (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred or suffered by the Parent or their respective shareholders as a result of or in connection with: (1) any inaccurate representation or warranty made by the Company in or pursuant to this Agreement, (2) any default in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement, (3) the operation of Company’s business after the Effective Date, or any occurrence, act or omission of the Company or of any shareholder, director, officer, employee, consultant or agent of the Company or Parent which occurs subsequent to the Effective Date, and causes damage to the Parent or its shareholders. The prevailing party in any claim for indemnification shall be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses from the non prevailing party.
 
5.6.6 If any party hereto (the “Indemnitee” or “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which the other party or parties is or may be obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnitor”), the Indemnitee shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof. Such notice shall state the basis for the claim, action or proceeding and the amount thereof (to the extent such amount is determinable at the time when such notice is given) and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim, action or proceeding (including any action or proceeding resulting from any such claim). Failure to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification unless the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate that such failure has materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend the same and then only to such extent. The Indemnifying Party may compromise, to the extent provided below or, at its election, defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee. In any event, the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s counsel shall cooperate in the compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted liability. So long as the Indemnitor is defending in good faith any such third party claim, the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise such third party claim. Both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense of such asserted liability but any Indemnitee participation shall be at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party shall control and make all decisions regarding said defense. Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise any claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party only if no monetary obligation is imposed on the Indemnified Party (which is not reimbursed or paid for by the Indemnitee) and the Indemnified Party by reason thereof is not determined to be in violation of any rule, regulation or law and the Indemnified Party is not thereby subjected to injunctive or other equitable relief. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party such books, records or other documents within its control.
 
20
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

 
5.6.7 In case any event shall occur which would otherwise entitle either party to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder, no loss, damage or expense shall be deemed to have been sustained by such party to the extent (1) of any tax savings realized by such party with respect thereto, or (2) of any proceeds received or which should have been received by such party from any insurance policies with respect thereto.
 
5.7
