Section 6.02           Indemnification by Purchasers.  Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify Seller and its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Seller Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation, or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all reasonable costs, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any of the

 

12



 

representations, warranties or covenants of Purchaser contained herein, provided such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of the representations and warranties is made prior to the expiration of such representations and warranties.  Furthermore, each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, that it will indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Seller Related Parties from and against any and all claims, demands or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement or other similar fees or commissions incurred by such Purchaser or alleged to have been incurred by such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of any of the Purchased Units or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

Section 6.03           Indemnification Procedures.  Promptly after any Seller Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any Action or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such Action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.  Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith.  If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof.  Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control.  Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party.  After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (a) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (b) if (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) if the defendants in any such Action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such Action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, the Indemnified Party.

Section 6.04           Survival.  The Parties’ obligations under this Article VI shall only become operative following the Base Unit Closing Date and shall not survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.02.

 

ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 7.01           Purchaser Lock-Up.  Except as provided in this Agreement, no Purchaser will offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise)), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to, any Purchased Units, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period of 90 days after (a) the Base Unit Closing Date, in the case of the Base Units and (b) the Additional Unit Closing Date, in the case of the Additional Units; provided, however, that any Purchaser may enter into a total return swap or similar transaction with respect to the Purchased Units purchased by such Purchaser so long as the swap counterparty agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 7.01.

 

Section 7.02           Interpretation of Provisions.  Article, Section and Schedule references are to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.  All references to instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements are references to such instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented, and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified.  The word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to.” Whenever a Party has an obligation under this Agreement, the expense of complying with that obligation shall be an expense of such Party unless otherwise specified.  Whenever any determination, consent, or approval is to be made or given by a Party, such action shall be in such Party’s sole discretion unless otherwise specified in this Agreement.  If any provision in this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.  This Agreement has been reviewed and negotiated by sophisticated parties with access to legal counsel and shall not be construed against the drafter.

 

Section 7.03           Survival.  The representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.10, Section 3.11, Section 3.12, Section 4.05 and Section 4.06 hereunder shall survive indefinitely, and the other representations and warranties set forth herein shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months, in each case, following the applicable Closing Date regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Seller or the Purchasers.  The covenants made in this Agreement shall survive the applicable Closing of the transactions described herein and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of acceptance of any of the Purchased Units and payment therefor.

Section 7.04           No Waiver; Modifications in Writing.

 

(a)           Delay.  No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or remedy.  The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a Party at law or in equity or otherwise.

 

(b)           Specific Waiver.  Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by each of the Parties hereto or thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination.  Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure from the terms of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.  Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on a Party in any case shall entitle such Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 7.05           Binding Effect; Assignment.

 

(a)           Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Seller, the Purchasers and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

(b)           Assignment of Rights.  All or any portion of the rights and obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement may not be transferred by such Purchaser without the written consent of Seller.

 

(c)           Total Return Swap.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller agrees that any Purchaser may enter into total return swaps or similar transactions with respect to the Purchased Units purchased by such Purchaser.

 

Section 7.06           Confidentiality.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that any Purchaser has executed or is otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of Seller, such Purchaser shall continue to be bound by such confidentiality agreement (notwithstanding any termination provision contained therein) pending the announcement of the Major Acquisition (with respect to Confidential Information relating to such acquisition) and the Other Acquisitions (with respect to Confidential Information relating to such acquisitions).  To the extent that any Purchaser has not executed or is not otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of Seller, and has actually received Confidential Information from Seller, such Purchaser will refrain, and will cause its Representatives to refrain, from disclosing to any other Person any Confidential Information; provided, however, that with respect to any Purchaser who has not executed and is not otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of Seller, Seller acknowledges that Seller has not provided such Purchaser any Confidential Information unless requested by such Purchaser.  Disclosure of Confidential Information will not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.06 if such disclosure is made with the consent of Seller or pursuant to a subpoena or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a

 

15



 

judicial, administrative or legislative body or committee; provided, however, that upon receipt by any Purchaser of any subpoena or order covering Confidential Information of Seller, such Purchaser will promptly notify Seller of such subpoena or order.
