This Agreement has been, or will be, duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid, legal and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except to the extent such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

5.2          Conflicts; Defaults. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other agreements and instruments executed or to be executed in connection herewith by the Company do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will not: (i) violate, conflict with, or constitute a breach or default under any of the terms of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (ii) require any authorization, approval, consent, registration, declaration or filing with, from or to any Governmental Entity other than those required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) violate any law, statute, judgment, decree, injunction, order, writ, rule or regulation applicable to the Company.

 

5.3          Ownership. The Company is the record and beneficial owner of the Shares free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances.

There is no applicable local, state or federal law, rule, regulation, or decree which would, as a result of the purchase of the Shares by Buyer (and/or assigns) impair, restrict or delay voting rights with respect to the Shares.

5.4          No Consents Required. No notice to, consent, authorization or approval of, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, or the taking of any action herein contemplated.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION

 

9.1          Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto and in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Warranty Period”) and shall thereupon terminate and expire and shall be of no force or effect thereafter, except (i) with respect to any claim, written notice of which shall have been delivered to Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, in accordance herewith and prior to the end of the Warranty Period, such claim shall survive the termination of such Warranty Period for as long as such claim is unsettled, and (ii) with respect to any litigation which shall have been commenced to resolve such claim on or prior to such date.

 

9.2          Indemnification by Acquired Entities Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5 below, each of the Acquired Entities hereby covenants and agrees that it shall jointly and severally indemnify the Company and the Excluded Entities, and their respective directors, officers, affiliates and employees, and each of their successors and assigns (individually, a “Horizon Indemnified Party”), and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all costs, losses, claims, liabilities (including for Taxes), fines, penalties, damages and expenses (including interest, if any, imposed in connection therewith, court costs and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred by any Horizon Indemnified Party arising out of or related to (i) any claims made by the customers of the Acquired Entities set forth on Schedule 9.2.1 and the employees of the Acquired Entities set forth on Schedule 9.2.2 and (ii) any breach by Buyer of the representation contained in Sections 6.3 and 6.6.

 

9.3          Indemnification by the Company. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5 below, the Company and each of the Excluded Entities hereby covenants and agrees that it shall jointly and severally indemnify Buyer and the Acquired Entities, and their respective affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each of their successors and assigns (individually, a “Collins Indemnified Party”), and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all Damages incurred by any Collins Indemnified Party arising out of or related to (i) the operations of the Company and any Excluded Entity and any breach by the Company of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the non-fulfillment in any material respect of any agreement, covenant or obligation of the Company made in this Agreement (including without limitation any Exhibit or Schedule hereto and any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith).

 

8

 

 

9.4          Right to Defend. If a claim for indemnification shall involve a claim or demand by a third party against a Horizon Indemnified Party or a Collins Indemnified Party (referred to in this Section as an “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party will give notice of the claim to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”), which shall detail the nature, basis and amount of the claim (the “Notice of Third Party Claim”). The failure to provide a Notice of Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify for such claim to the extent that it has been prejudiced by the failure to give the Notice of Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may (without prejudice to the right of an Indemnified Party to participate at its own expense through counsel of its own choosing) undertake the defense of such claims at its expense with counsel chosen and paid by it by giving notice (the “Election to Defend”) to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the date the Notice of Third Party Claim is deemed received; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party may not settle such claims without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except if the sole relief provided is monetary damages to be borne by the Indemnifying Party; and, provided further, if the defendants in any action include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that counsel selected by the Indemnifying party has a conflict of interest, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered “Damages.”. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of any claim and make available pertinent information under its control If an Indemnifying Party does not give the Election to Defend as provided above, it will be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to defend or settle such claims.

 

9.5          Limitation on Rights of Indemnification. Neither the Horizon Indemnified Parties nor the Collins Indemnified Parties shall have any right to indemnification under this Agreement or in any agreement executed pursuant thereto, unless and until the aggregate amount of any and all such indemnification claims made by such party under this Agreement exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”). If Horizon Indemnified Party claims or Collins Indemnified Party indemnified claims exceed the Basket, such party shall be entitled to seek compensation for all Damages in excess of such amount.

 

9.6          Subrogation.

 

(a)       If an Indemnified Party receives payment or other indemnification from an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment or indemnification to all rights in respect of the subject matter of such claim to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled, to institute appropriate action against third parties for the recovery thereof, including under any insurance policies, and the Indemnified Party agrees to assist and cooperate in good faith with the Indemnifying Party and to take any action reasonably required by such Indemnifying Party, at the expense of such Indemnifying Party, in enforcing such rights.

 

9

 

 

(b)       If an Indemnifying Party shall have paid an Indemnified Party for an indemnified claim or otherwise, and the Indemnified Party subsequently receives payment under insurance policies covering such claim, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such prior payment made by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, such repayment shall not exceed the actual amount received by the Indemnified Party under such policy, less all reasonable fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Party in pursuing and collecting under such policy.

 

ARTICLE X - MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1        Waivers. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other documents.

10.2        Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, as well as the Acquired Entities and the Excluded Entities with respect to their obligations under Article IX of this Agreement and the provision of section 10.6.

10.5        Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, statements, representations or promises, oral and written, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. No party hereto shall be bound by or charged with any written or oral arguments, representations, warranties, statements, promises or understandings not specifically set forth in this Agreement or in any Schedule or Exhibits hereto or any other Transaction Documents, or in certificates and instruments to be delivered pursuant hereto on or before the Closing.

 

10.6        Governing Law. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof.

10.7        Severability.
