Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, the Company Preferred Shareholder (the “Company Preferred Shareholder Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholders Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting (whether or not involving a Third Party Claim) from any breach of any of the Company Preferred Shareholder’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.1 and his agreement set forth in Section 7.3 in respect of the transfer of all of the equity interests of VoiceStep Telecom, LLC, a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, to the Company Preferred Shareholder.

 

8.3 Limits on Indemnification.

 

(a) The Shareholder Indemnifying Persons, the Company Indemnifying Parties and the Company Preferred Shareholder Indemnifying Party (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a). 8.2(b), or 8.2(c) respectively, (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from such Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds Twenty Thousand dollars ($20,000) whereupon the Shareholder Indemnified Persons, the Company Indemnified Parties and the Company Preferred Shareholder Indemnifying Party (each, an “Indemnified Party”), respectively, shall be entitled to indemnification for the full amount of such Losses, (ii) no Losses may be claimed under this Section 8.2(a). 8.2(b), or 8.2(c), respectively, or shall be reimbursable by or shall be included in calculating the aggregate losses set forth in clause (i) above other than Losses in excess of Two Thousand Dollars ($2000) resulting from a single claim or series of related claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances; and (iii) in no event shall the aggregate indemnification actually paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Sections 8.2(a), 8.2(b) or 8.2(c), as applicable, taken together with all other indemnification actually paid by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to the causes set forth in Sections 8.2(a),8.2(b) or 8.2(c), as applicable, exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). The shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Company Preferred Shareholder Indemnifying Party (or cash in lieu thereof, at the election of the Company Preferred Shareholder Indemnifying Party) shall be the sole source from which any Indemnified Party may be indemnified by the Company Preferred Shareholder Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each Shareholder (or cash in lieu thereof, at the election of the Shareholder) shall be the sole source from which any Indemnified Party may be indemnified by the Shareholder under this Article VIII.

 

 
33
 

 

(b) In no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of, and in no event shall Losses be deemed to include, any punitive, special, incidental, exemplary, consequential, indirect or exemplary damages, or for any diminution in value (including any changes measured as a multiple of earnings, revenue or by any other similar performance metric and any loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity), except for any such damages to the extent actually awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction and paid to a third party in a Third Party Claim.

 

(c) No investigation by an Indemnified Party, or knowledge by an Indemnified Party or its representatives of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of an Indemnifying Party, conducted or arising at any time after the date of this Agreement, shall affect the recourse available to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII.

 

(d) Any Losses recoverable hereunder shall be reduced in amount by insurance proceeds, indemnification payments, contribution payments or reimbursements actually received by any Indemnified Party in connection with such Losses, and the Indemnified Party shall use reasonable and diligent efforts to realize such benefits, proceeds, payments or reimbursements; provided, that nothing herein shall require any Indemnified Party to file any claim under any insurance policy.

 

(e) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the extent reasonably necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

 

8.4 Notice of Loss; Third Party Claims.

 

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of any matter that an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within thirty (30) days of such determination, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.

 

(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Action, audit, demand or assessment (each, a “Third Party Claim”) against it or which may give rise to a claim for a Loss under this Article VIII, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VIII. If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within five (5) days of the receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

 

8.5 Indemnification Payments.

 

Any indemnification obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII may be settled through delivery to the Indemnified Party of shares Series B Preferred Stock that are equal in value to the finally determined amount of indemnification determined, with the value of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock being determined based on the dollar volume-weighted average price of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded during the fifteen (15) trading day period ending one (1) business day prior to the date of the finally determined indemnification amount, which delivery shall be required to be made within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of such obligation in accordance with this Article VIII.

8.6 Exclusive Remedy.

 

From and after the Closing, except with respect claims seeking injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief (including pursuant to Section 9.9), or claims under covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly require performance after the Closing but only with respect to that portion of such covenant or agreement that is expressly to be performed following the Closing, or claims under any other transaction document pursuant to the terms and provisions therein, indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Indemnified Party with respect to matters arising under this Agreement of any kind or nature, including for any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant, or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

9.3 Severability.

 

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

9.4 Entire Agreement.

 

This Agreement, the Seller Disclosure Letter, and the Company Disclosure Letter constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

9.5 Assignment.

 

This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the express written consent of the Company (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Company) and any such assignment or attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

 

9.6 Amendment.

 

This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Parties that expressly references the Section of this Agreement to be amended; or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 9.7.

Any party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Parties contained herein or in any document delivered by the other Parties pursuant to this Agreement; or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other Parties or conditions to such obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise of any other right hereunder. Any waiver of any term or condition hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or as a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.

 

9.8 Third Parties.

 

Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for, or the benefit of, any Person that is not a Party or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party, unless otherwise specified herein. Except for the provisions of Article VII relating to Indemnified Parties, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person, including any union or any employee or former employee of the Seller, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

9.9 Specific Performance.

 

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached and that any non-performance or breach of this Agreement by any Party could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law.
