respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners,
members and controlling persons (each, an "Indemnified Party") to the fullest
extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses and any and all
actions, proceedings, claims, complaints, disputes, arbitrations or
investigations or written threats thereof (collectively, "Claims") (including
any Claim by a third party), damages, expenses (including reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in
any action between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or between
the Indemnified Party and any third party or otherwise) or other liabilities
(collectively, "Losses") resulting from, arising out of or relating to the
breach by the Indemnifying Party of any representation or warranty or covenant
set forth in Article 3, or relating to the breach of any other agreement by the
Indemnifying Party in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents;
provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Section 7.1
--------
to an Indemnified Party to the extent that it is finally judicially determined
that such Losses resulted primarily from the material breach by such Indemnified
Party of any warranty, covenant or other agreement of such Indemnified Party
contained in this Agreement or other Transaction Documents; and provided,
--------
further, that if and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable
-------
for any reason, the Indemnifying Party shall make the maximum contribution to
the payment and satisfaction of such Losses which shall be permissible under
applicable laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
amount of any payment by any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party
herewith in respect of any Loss shall not exceed the aggregate purchase price
paid by the Purchasers for the Purchased Shares purchased by the Purchasers
hereunder. In connection with the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to
indemnify for expenses as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon
presentation of appropriate invoices containing reasonable detail, reimburse
each Indemnified Party for all such expenses (including reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party)
only (i) after the final resolution or disposition of such Claim and (ii) if
such Indemnified Party prevails in such Claim; provided, however, that if an
-------- -------
Indemnified Party is
15
reimbursed hereunder for any expenses, such reimbursement of expenses shall be
refunded to the extent it is finally judicially determined that the 1osses in
question resulted in primarily from the willful misconduct or gross negligence
of such Indemnified Party.
7.2 Indemnification by Purchasers. Except as otherwise provided in
-----------------------------
this Article 7, each of the Purchasers, severally and not jointly (each, a
"Purchaser Indemnifying Party"), agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Company and its officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees,
subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, a "Purchaser
Indemnified Party") to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any
and all Losses resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of the
representation or warranty set forth in Sections 4.5, 4.6 or 4.7 herein;
provided, that the Purchaser Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this
--------
Section 7.2 to a Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent that it is finally
judicially determined that such Losses resulted primarily from the material
breach by such Purchaser Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty,
covenant or other agreement of such Purchaser Indemnified Party contained in
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; and provided, further, that
-------- -------
if and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any reason,
the Purchaser Indemnifying Party shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of such Losses which shall be permissible under
applicable laws. The aggregate amount of indemnification payments payable to the
Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not exceed the aggregate purchase price paid
by such Purchaser Indemnifying Party for its Purchased Shares hereunder.
7.3 Notification. Each Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified
------------
Party, as the case may be (for purposes of this Section 7.3, an "Indemnified
Party"), under this Article 7 shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the
commencement of any action, investigation, claim or other proceeding against
such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the
Indemnifying Party or Purchaser Indemnifying Party, as the case may be (for
purposes of this Section 7.3, an "Indemnifying Party"), under this Article 7,
notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof. The
omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any
such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it
may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article 7 or
(b) under this Article 7 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission
results in the Indemnifying Party's forfeiture of substantive rights or
defenses. In case any such action, claim or other proceeding shall be brought
against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the
commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the
defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any
-------- -------
Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to
participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in any action, claim or proceeding in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the
one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably
likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and to control its own
defense of such action, claim or proceeding if, in the reasonable opinion of
counsel to such Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists
between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on
the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees
-------- -------
and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties. The
Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not,
16
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim,
action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any
Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made
a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising or
that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding
effected against an Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party's written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The rights accorded
to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any
Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
-------- -------
contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article 7 should restrict
or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable
relief.
