6.03 Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties upon approval by the party, if such party is an individual, and upon approval of the Board of Directors of Pubco and Manager of the Company.

7.01 Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive until twelve (12) months after the Effective Time (except for with respect to Taxes, which shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations plus 90 days, and covenants that by their terms survive for a longer period).

 

7.02 Indemnification.

 

(a) Pubco shall indemnify and hold the Selling Members and the Company harmless for, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, deficiencies, costs, penalties, interest and expenses (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) (collectively, “Losses”) to which Pubco may become subject resulting from or arising out of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by Pubco as set forth herein.

 

(b) The Company and Selling Members shall jointly indemnify and hold Pubco and Pubco’s officers and directors (“Pubco’s Representatives”) harmless for, from and against any and all Losses to which Pubco or Pubco’s Representatives may become subject resulting from or arising out of (1) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company or Selling Members as set forth herein; or (2) any and all liabilities arising out of or in connection with: (A) any of the assets of the Company prior to the Closing; or (B) the operations of the Company prior to the Closing.

 

7.03 Notice of Indemnification.  Promptly after the receipt by any indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim with respect thereto is or may be made against any indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Article VII, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such action or proceeding and give such Indemnifying Party a copy of such claim and/or process and all legal pleadings in connection therewith.  The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Article VII, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party.  Such Indemnifying Party shall have, upon request within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, but not in any event after the settlement or compromise of such claim, the right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee determines that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially and adversely affect it, other than solely as a result of money payments required to be reimbursed in full by such Indemnifying Party under this Article VII or if a

conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such claim or suit; and, provided, further, that such settlement or compromise shall not, unless consented to in writing by such Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, be conclusive as to the liability of such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee.  In any event, the Indemnitee, such Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise of, any such asserted liability, and in cases where the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such asserted liability at the Indemnitee’s own expense.  In the event that such Indemnifying Party shall decline to participate in or assume the defense of such action, prior to paying or settling any claim against which such Indemnifying Party is, or may be, obligated under this Article VII to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall first supply such Indemnifying Party with a copy of a final court judgment or decree holding the Indemnitee liable on such claim or, failing such judgment or decree, the terms and conditions of the settlement or compromise of such claim.  An Indemnitee’s failure to supply such final court judgment or decree or the terms and conditions of a settlement or compromise to such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Article VII, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party is defending the claim as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle the claim only with the consent of the Indemnitee.
