7.           Indemnification.

7.1           By Seller.  Seller agrees to indemnify, defend, release and hold Purchaser, its affiliates, subsidiaries or related companies, and their officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, harmless from and against any and all damages, losses (including loss of goodwill and damage to reputation), penalties, interest obligations, tax liabilities and other liabilities, claims, judgments, causes of action, deficiencies, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs) (collectively, "Claims"), asserted against or incurred or required to be paid by Purchaser or any other indemnified person on account of or incident or pursuant to: (a) breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement or in any Contract or document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; (b) the operation of Seller's business or the ownership, maintenance, use or operation of Seller's assets prior to the Closing; (c) the failure of Seller to comply with applicable bulk transfer laws, to the extent such failure causes Purchaser to be liable for liabilities of Seller other than the liabilities which Purchaser specifically assumes pursuant to this Agreement; and (d) any and all lawsuits against Seller or involving any of the assets of Seller which are based on a cause of action arising before the Closing Date.

7.2           By Purchaser.  Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, release and hold Seller and Seller's officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents harmless from and against any and all Claims asserted against, incurred or required to be paid by Seller or any other indemnified person on account of or incident or pursuant to: (a) breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any contract or document delivered pursuant to

 
 

 

or in connection with this Agreement; (b) the business or operations of Purchaser before, at or after the date of this Agreement; and (c) the ownership, maintenance, use or operation of the Purchased Assets after the Closing.

7.3           Indemnification Procedure.

(a)  Notice. With respect to any matter for which indemnification is claimed pursuant to Section 7.1, the indemnified person(s) will notify Seller in writing promptly after becoming aware of such matter. With respect to any matter for which indemnification is claimed pursuant to Section 7.2, the indemnified person(s) will notify Purchaser in writing promptly after becoming aware of such matter.  A failure or delay to promptly notify an indemnifying person of a Claim will only relieve such person of its obligation pursuant to this Section 8 to the extent, if at all, that such person is prejudiced by reason of such failure or delay.

(b)  Defense of Claim.  Promptly after receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 7.3(a), the indemnifying person(s) shall defend, contest, settle, compromise or otherwise protect the indemnified person(s) against any such Claim at its (their) own cost and expense.  Each indemnified person will have the right, but not the obligation, to participate, at its own expense, in the defense by counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, that the indemnifying person will be entitled to control the defense unless the indemnified person has relieved the indemnifying person in writing from liability with respect to the particular matter.  The indemnified person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying person's requests, and at the indemnifying person's expense (including, but not limited to, indemnifying person's paying or reimbursing the indemnified person's reasonable attorneys' fees and investigation expenses), concerning the defense of the Claim.  The indemnifying party shall include the indemnified party in any settlement discussions.

(c)  Failure to Defend.  If the indemnifying person does not timely defend, contest or otherwise protect against a Claim after receipt of the required notice, the indemnified person will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same, make any compromise or settlement thereof, and recover the entire cost thereof from the indemnifying person, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation and Claim.

7.4           Survival of Representations and Warranties.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of two (2) years only.

8.           Miscellaneous.

8.1           Notices.  Any notice or other communication given or made pursuant to this agreement must be in writing and shall be delivered to the party to whom intended at the address set forth above (or at such other address as such party may designate by proper notice) by personal delivery, by fax, by nationally recognized courier, or by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when personally delivered or sent by fax or two (2) business days after deposit with a courier or five (5) business days after mailing. Copies of all notices shall be given to:

Facsimile copies or electronically mailed or transmitted (e-mailed) images of a signed document or instrument (or just the executed signature pages), including this Agreement, any amendment or addendum to this Agreement, and any Notice, shall be: (i) effective and binding on the parties, and the parties shall accept them as if the facsimile signatures or e-mailed images of signatures were originals; and (ii) admissible in any legal action or proceeding as the best evidence of the parties’ agreement or of a party’s Notice or other action, as may be applicable. A party submitting a signature by facsimile or e-mail shall promptly afterward submit the original signature to the other party for retention in the records of the other party, but the submission or the other party’s receipt of the original shall not be a condition to the effectiveness of the facsimile or e-mail signature.

8.7           Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement.

8.8           Terminology.  Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms used in this Agreement in the masculine include the feminine and the neuter, terms used in the singular include the plural and terms used in the plural include the singular.
