Neither party nor any of its Affiliates shall be entitled to receive any indemnification payment with respect to Claims for indemnification made under Section 12.2(a) or 12.3(a), as the case may be (the "Misrepresentation Claims"), until the aggregate Losses that such party and its Affiliates would be otherwise entitled to receive as indemnification with respect to the Misrepresentation Claims exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the "Threshold"), after which such party may assert claims for all Losses exceeding the Threshold, and (b) the aggregate liability of any party for all Claims for indemnification under this Section 12, other than with respect to 12.2(e) (Excluded Liabilities and Excluded Assets) shall not exceed the Purchase Price paid by Buyer to Seller.  Furthermore, neither party or its Affiliates shall be entitled to assert any right of indemnification with respect to any Misrepresentation Claim of which neither such party or its Affiliates have given written notice to the other party on or prior to the end of the survival period set forth in Section 12.1 above, except that if such party or its Affiliates have given written notice of any Misrepresentation Claim to the other party on or prior to the end of such survival period, then they shall continue to have the right to be indemnified with respect to such pending Misrepresentation Claim, notwithstanding the expiration of such survival period.

12.5      Third-Party and Direct Claims Procedures

(a)       Any party hereto or any of its Affiliates seeking indemnification hereunder (in this context, the "indemnified party") shall notify the other party (in this context, the "indemnifying party") in writing reasonably promptly after the assertion against the indemnified party of any Claim by a third party (a "Third-Party Claim") in respect of which the indemnified party intends to base a Claim for indemnification hereunder, but the failure or delay so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any obligation or liability that it may have to the indemnified party except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that its ability to defend or resolve such Third Party Claim is adversely affected thereby.

(b)       (i)       Subject to the provisions of Sections 12.5(d) and 12.5(g) below, the indemnifying party shall have the right, upon written notice given to the indemnified party within 30 days after receipt of the notice from the indemnified party of any Third Party Claim, to assume the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim, at the indemnifying party's sole expense, in which case the provisions of Section 12.5(b)(ii) below shall govern.  (ii) The indemnifying party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party in connection with conducting the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim, and the indemnifying party shall defend or handle the same in consultation with the indemnified party, and shall keep the indemnified party timely apprised of the status of such Third Party Claim, and shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, directly or indirectly assume any position or take any action that would impose any obligation of any kind on or restrict the actions of the indemnified party.  After the assumption of the defense of such Third-Party Claim, an indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Agreement for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.  The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), agree to a settlement of any Third Party Claim that could directly or indirectly lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the indemnified party for which the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.  The indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party and shall be entitled to participate in the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the indemnifying party fails to conduct the defense or handling of any Third Party Claim in good faith after having assumed such defense or handling, then the provisions of Section 12.5(c)(ii) below shall govern.

(c)       (i)       If the indemnifying party does not give written notice to the indemnified party, within 30 days after receipt of the notice from the indemnified party of any Third Party Claim, of the indemnifying party's election to assume the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim, the provisions of Section 12.5(c)(ii) below shall govern.  (ii)  The indemnified party may, at the indemnifying party's expense, select counsel in connection with conducting the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim and defend or handle such Third Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, provided, however, that the indemnified party shall keep the indemnifying party timely apprised of the status of such Third Party Claim and shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If the indemnified party defends or handles such Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall cooperate with the indemnified party and shall be entitled to participate in the defense or handling of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense.

(d)       With respect to Claims arising under Section 12.2 or 12.3 that do not involve a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall promptly give notice to the indemnifying party of the nature and amount of the Losses, including reasonable detail about the basis for such Claim.  Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice of Claim, the indemnifying party will pay the amount of such Losses to the indemnified party, unless it has earlier delivered a notice of objection with respect to such Claim detailing the aspects of the direct Claim that are in dispute.  Any disputes with respect to direct indemnification Claims that cannot be resolved by the Parties through negotiation or mediation will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.11.

(e)       If any Party fails to deliver a payment to the other under any of the provisions of Section 12 within fifteen (15) days after the final determination or adjudication of the amount of such Loss, the amount due will bear interest from its due date to the date it is paid at a rate per annum equal to the rate published by the Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in effect on the date such payment is due.

12.6      Proportional Liability for Losses

In the event any Losses referred to in this Section 12 are attributable to or arise out of or in connection with the conduct of the Business in part both before and after the Closing Date, each party shall indemnify the other party and its Affiliates against such Losses in proportion to the extent to which the Losses resulted from such pre-Closing or post-Closing activities.

12.7      Election of Remedies

In the event that any party or any of its Affiliates alleges that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, and that its Claim is covered under more than one provision of this Section 12, such party or Affiliate shall be entitled to elect the provision or provisions under which it may bring a claim for indemnification.

12.8      Specific Performance

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that it may be impossible to measure in money the damages that a party would incur if any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms and agree that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to obtain an injunction to require specific performance of, and prevent any violation of the terms of, this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy available hereunder.  In any such action specifically to enforce any provision of this Agreement, each party hereby waives any claim or defense therein that an adequate remedy at law or in damages exists.

12.9      No Rights of Setoff

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, if Buyer is entitled to receive payment with respect to Losses and such payment has not yet been received, Buyer is permitted to set off against the Supplemental Purchase Price payment on amount equal to such Losses (and any interest thereon).  If there are Claims pending that have not yet been resolved, Buyer shall be entitled to retain and not deliver that portion of the Supplemental Purchase Price equal to the amount of such pending Claims until the final resolution of such Claims at which time it will either set off the amount of the Losses against the remaining Supplemental Purchase Price or deliver the balance of the Supplemental Purchase Price to Seller.  Any setoff accomplished pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.9 will serve to reduce the Purchase Price.

12.10     Exclusive Remedies

Except with respect to claims based on fraud, the indemnification and specific performance remedies set forth under this Section 12 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties with respect to any matters arising under or relating to this Agreement.

14.4      Modification and Waiver

This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.  The failure of any party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, or in any way affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
