INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 6.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Notwithstanding any right of Parent fully to investigate the affairs of the Company and the rights of the Company to fully investigate the affairs of Parent, and notwithstanding any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by Parent and the Company, pursuant to such investigation or right of investigation, Parent, the Company have the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company, and Parent respectively, contained in this Agreement, or listed or disclosed on any Schedule hereto or in any instrument delivered in connection with or pursuant to any of the foregoing. All such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all representations and warranties of the Company, and Parent respectively, contained in this Agreement, on any Schedule hereto or in any instrument delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate and expire twelve (12) months after the date of Closing; provided, however, that liability any party shall not terminate as to any specific claim or claims which arise or result from or are related to a Claim for fraud.
SECTION 6.2 Notice and Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims.
(a) Within ten (10) days following receipt by any party hereto (the "Indemnitee") of notice of any demand, claim, circumstance or Tax audit which would or might give rise to a claim, or the commencement (or threatened commencement) of any action, proceeding or investigation that may result in a Loss (an "Asserted Liability"), the Indemnitee shall give notice thereof (the "Claims Notice") to the party or parties obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 6.2, or 6.3 (collectively, the "Indemnifying Party"). The Claims Notice shall describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary, and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnitee.
18
(b) The Indemnifying Party may elect to defend, at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Asserted Liability unless: (i) the Asserted Liability includes a Claim seeking an Order for injunction or other equitable or declaratory relief against the Indemnitee, in which case the Indemnitee may at its own cost and expense and at its option defend the portion of the Asserted Liability seeking equitable or declaratory relief against the Indemnitee, or (ii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably, and in good faith, after consultation with the Indemnifying Party, concluded that: (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party which could prevent or negatively influence the Indemnifying Party from impartially or adequately conducting such defense; or (y) the Indemnitee shall have one or more defenses not available to the Indemnifying Party but only to the extent such defense cannot legally be asserted by the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such Asserted Liability, it shall within ten (10) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the defense of such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Asserted Liability, is not permitted to defend the Asserted Liability by reason of the first sentence of this Section 6.4(b), fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement with respect to such Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such Asserted Liability at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim over the reasonable written objection of the other, provided that the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has failed to notify the Indemnitee of its election under this Section 6.4(b) or as to which the Indemnifying Party is contesting its indemnification obligations hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party desires to accept a reasonable, final and complete settlement of an Asserted Liability so that such Indemnitee’s Loss is paid in full and the Indemnitee refuses to consent to such settlement, then the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnitee shall be limited to the amount offered in the settlement. The Indemnifying Party will exercise good faith in accepting any reasonable, final and complete settlement of an Asserted Liability. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Asserted Liability. In the event the Indemnifying Party is not permitted by the Indemnitee to defend the Asserted Liability, it may nevertheless participate at its own expense in the defense of such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense. Any Losses of any Indemnitee for which an Indemnifying Party is liable for indemnification hereunder shall be paid upon written demand therefor.
19
SECTION 6.3 Limits on Indemnification.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing or the limitations set forth in Section 6.5(b) below, in the event such Losses arise out of any fraud related matter on the part of any Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect of all such Losses.
(b) The Company and Seller shall not be liable to indemnify Parent pursuant to Section 6.2 above and Parent shall not be liable to indemnify the Company and Shareholders pursuant to Section 6.3 above: (i) unless a Claims Notice describing the loss is delivered to the Indemnifying Party within 12 months after the Closing (except for Losses arising out of an Indemnifying Party’s fraud); (ii) with respect to special, consequential or punitive damages; and (iii) in respect of any individual Loss of less than $25,000.
SECTION 6.4 Exclusive Remedy. The parties agree that the indemnification provisions of this Article VI shall constitute the sole or exclusive remedy of any party in seeking damages or other monetary relief with respect to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, provided that, nothing herein shall be construed to limit the right of any party to seek: (i) injunctive relief for a breach of this Agreement; (ii) legal or equitable relief for a Claim for fraud; or (iii) indemnity under the bylaws of Parent if they are or have been a director or officer of Parent.

In such event, and in addition to each party's right to terminate this Agreement, each party shall be entitled, without the necessity or obligation of posting a bond or other security, to seek injunctive relief, by commencing a suit in equity to obtain specific performance of the obligations under this Agreement or to sue for damages, in each case, without first terminating this Agreement. The Company or Parent specifically affirms the appropriateness of such injunctive, other equitable relief or damages in any such action.
SECTION 7.2 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Contemplated Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

20

(d) By the Company or Parent, if any condition under Section 5.1 becomes incapable of fulfillment through no fault of the party seeking termination and is not waived by the party seeking termination.
SECTION 7.3 Effect of Termination; Right to Proceed. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof, in the event that this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 7.2, all further obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate without further liability of any party hereunder except that: (i) the agreements contained in Section 4.2 shall survive the termination hereof; and (ii) termination shall not preclude any party from seeking relief against any other party for breach of Section 4.2. In the event that a condition precedent to its obligation is not met, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require any party to terminate this Agreement, rather than to waive such condition precedent and proceed with the Contemplated Transactions.
