Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Damages (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Damages are known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Damages.

     (d) Third Party Claims. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Section 12.02 with respect to Damages arising from claims, lawsuits, demands or other proceedings by any third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) that are subject to indemnification as provided for in Section 12.02(a) or Section 12.02(b) shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:

                    (i) At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the Indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the

Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Damages incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Indemnified Party.

                    (ii) Without limiting Section 12.02(d)(i), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (B) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 12.02(d)(i) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (C) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both parties under applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

                    (iii) With respect to any Damages relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim and that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Damages, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate. With respect to all other Damages in connection with Third Party Claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 12.02(d)(i), the Indemnifying Party shall have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Damages; provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of Damages by an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim that is reached without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No Indemnified Party shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

                    (iv) If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and promptly shall furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making relevant employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the

Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

     (e) Expenses. Except as provided above, the reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim shall be reimbursed on a quarterly basis by the Indemnifying Party, without prejudice to the Indemnifying Party’s right to contest the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification and subject to refund in the event the Indemnifying Party is ultimately held not to be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party

Section 12.03 Limitations

     (a) In no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller for Damages pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(i) and 12.02(a)(ii) exceed the Purchase Price.

     (b) EXCEPT FOR AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF ANY AMOUNTS PAID UNDER AN INDEMNIFIABLE THIRD PARTY CLAIM UNDER SECTION 12.02, OR IN THE CASE OF A PARTY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

Section 12.04 Remedies Exclusive

     From and after the Closing, the remedies set forth in this Article XII shall be exclusive and in lieu of any other remedies that may be available to the Indemnified Parties under any theory of liability and pursuant to any statutory or common law with respect to any Damages of any kind or nature directly or indirectly resulting from or arising out of any breach of this Agreement (including alleged breaches or inaccuracies of any representation, warranty or covenant or for any alleged misrepresentation) or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Article XIII.
Termination and Abandonment

Section 13.01 Methods of Termination

     Except as provided in Section 13.02 below, the transactions contemplated herein may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

     (a) by mutual written consent executed and delivered by Seller and Buyer; or

     (b) by either Seller or Buyer if (i) the Closing shall not have occurred by December 31, 2008; provided that the terminating Party is not then in material breach of its representations, warranties, or obligations hereunder; (ii) there shall be a final nonappealable Order of a federal or state court in effect preventing consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (iii) there shall be any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted,

promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby by any governmental entity that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal.

     A termination pursuant to this Section 13.01 shall be effected by delivery of written notice of such termination by the terminating party to the other Party. Where action is taken to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.01, it shall be sufficient for such action to be authorized by the board of the Party taking such action.

Section 13.02 Procedure upon and Effect of Termination

     In the event of termination and abandonment under Section 13.01, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party and the transactions, conveyances, and other actions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated and abandoned immediately, without further action by the Parties. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are terminated as provided herein, no Party and none of the directors, officers, stockholders, affiliates or controlling Persons of such Party shall have any further liability or obligation to any other Party to this Agreement except for a willful failure of a Party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other Party or a willful breach of a covenant or representation or warranty. The provisions of Article XIII and Article XIV shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
