The Buyer is in compliance with applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission thereunder in effect as of the Effective Date, except where such noncompliance could not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

7.4 Notice of Claims. If any Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (an “Indemnified Person”) has suffered or incurred any Buyer Damages or Seller Damages, as the case may be (“Damages”), for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII, or has discovered the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification, such Indemnified Person shall so notify the Person from whom indemnification is being claimed (the “Indemnifying Person”) with reasonable promptness and reasonable particularity in light of the circumstances then existing. If any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any Indemnified Person intends to claim any Damages, such Indemnified Person shall promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) business days after such Indemnification Person receives written notice of such Proceeding) notify the Indemnifying Person of such Proceeding. The failure of an Indemnified Person to give any notice required by this Section 7.4 shall not affect any of such party’s rights under this Article VII (including, without limitation, rights to indemnification) except and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to the rights or obligations of the Indemnified Person. As used in this Agreement the term “Proceeding”, shall mean any action, arbitration, audit, claim, complaint, hearing, proceeding, investigation, litigation, or suit (whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or informal) commenced, brought, conducted, or heard by or before, or otherwise involving, any court, governmental body or arbitrator.

7.5 Third Party Claims.

(a) The Indemnifying Person may, but shall not be obligated to, upon prompt written notice furnished to the Indemnified Person, assume the defense of any Proceeding instituted by a third party against the Indemnified Person, with counsel to be selected by the Indemnifying Person, subject to the approval of the Indemnified Person, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Person shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Proceeding, if (i) the Proceeding seeks only an injunction or other equitable relief; (ii) the Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to the Indemnified Person which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, and, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Person, counsel for the Indemnifying Person could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Person because such interests would be in conflict with those of the Indemnifying Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Proceeding would be materially detrimental to the Indemnified Person’s future business operation; or (iv) the Indemnifying Person shall not have assumed the defense of the third party claim in a timely fashion. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Proceeding instituted by a third party in accordance with the terms hereof, (i) it shall be established for the purposes of this Agreement that claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope and subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Person hereunder; and (ii) the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Person does not or cannot assume the defense of any such claim, suit, arbitration or other Proceeding as provided above, (i) the Indemnified Person may defend against the same, in such manner as it may deem reasonably appropriate and at the Indemnifying Person’s cost and expense; and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. If notice is given in accordance with Section 7.4 to an Indemnifying Person of the commencement of a Proceeding against an Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person does not, within thirty (30) days after such notice is given (or earlier if the Indemnified Person reasonably requires an earlier determination), give notice to the Indemnified Person of the Indemnifying Person’s election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Person will have irrevocably waived its right to assume the defense of such Proceeding.

(b) Neither the Indemnifying Person nor the Indemnified Person shall settle or compromise any Proceeding by a third party without the prior written consent of the other (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(c) The Indemnifying Person and Indemnified Person (and counsel retained by each) shall cooperate in good faith in connection with the defense of any Proceeding whether the defense is being conducted by the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person. Each such party shall be kept reasonably informed by the party conducting the defense of a Proceeding at all stages thereof, and shall be given an opportunity to comment on any material strategic decision, including, without limitation, the ability to comment on any material pleading or filing prior to its submission to the extent reasonable and practicable under the circumstances, taken in the course of such defense. The party conducting the defense of a Proceeding shall make available to each other party and to such other party’s attorneys and accountants all books and records relating to such Proceeding. The Indemnifying Person and Indemnified Person agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Proceeding.

7.6 Limitation of Claims.
