Each Member that is a corporation agrees that if such Member makes a distribution of the Purchase Price to its shareholders, that as a condition to such distribution, such Member will cause its shareholders to execute and deliver an instrument to Purchaser pursuant to which such shareholder shall agree to be bound by and subject to the provisions of this Article VII to the same extent as such assigning Member.

     7.2. Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Members and their respective heirs and assigns harmless from and against all Damages asserted against or incurred by any of such indemnitees by reason of or resulting from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Purchaser contained herein or in any exhibit, schedule or certificate delivered hereunder, or in any agreement executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

     7.3. Conditions of Indemnification. The respective obligations and liabilities of Members and Purchaser (the “indemnifying party”) to the other (the “party to be indemnified”) under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

          (a) Within 20 days (or such earlier time as might be required to avoid prejudicing the indemnifying party’s position) after receipt of notice of commencement of any action evidenced by service of process or other legal pleading, the party to be indemnified shall give the indemnifying party written notice thereof together with a copy of such claim, process or other legal pleading, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing and at its own expense; provided that the party to

13


 

be indemnified may participate in the defense with counsel of its own choice, the fees and expenses of which counsel shall be paid by the party to be indemnified unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the party to be indemnified and the party to be indemnified has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case, if the party to be indemnified informs the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the party to be indemnified, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the party to be indemnified, which firm shall be designated in writing by the party to be indemnified).

          (b) In the event that the indemnifying party, by the 30th day after receipt of notice of any such claim (or, if earlier, by the 10th day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the person asserting such claim), does not elect to defend against such claim, the party to be indemnified will (upon further notice to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party and at the indemnifying party’s expense, subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claims at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim without the consent of the party to be indemnified unless such settlement involves only the payment of money and the claimant provides to the party to be indemnified a release from all liability in respect of such claim. If the settlement of the claim involves more than the payment of money, the indemnifying party shall not settle the claim without the prior consent of the party to be indemnified.

          (d) The party to be indemnified and the indemnifying party will each cooperate with all reasonable requests of the other.

     7.4. Waiver. No waiver by any party of any default or breach by another party of any representation, warranty, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement, any exhibit or any document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default or breach by such party of the same or any other representation, warranty, covenant or condition. No act, delay, omission or course of dealing on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice any of such party’s rights, powers and remedies. All remedies, whether at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and the election of any one or more shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

14


 

     7.5. Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies provided in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights or remedies available to one party against the other, either at law or in equity.

     7.6. Offset. Any and all amounts owing or to be paid by Purchaser to Members, hereunder or otherwise, shall be subject to offset and reduction pro tanto by any amounts that may be owing at any time by Members to Purchaser in respect of any failure or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company or Members under or in connection with the Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby, as reasonably determined by Purchaser.

     7.7. Costs, Expenses and Legal Fees.
