1
any Damages arising out of any condition which resulted in an adjustment reflected in the
2
Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
3
(b)
By Buyer.
4
Buyer shall indemnify Seller and its Representatives and Affiliates, and
5
hold each of them harmless from and against any and all Damages incurred by any of
6
them in connection with, arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach or inaccuracy of
7
any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement (as updated pursuant to
8
Section 6.6 and as in effect on the Closing Date) or (ii) any failure by Buyer to perform in
9
a timely manner any agreement, covenant (other than the covenant of Buyer contained in
10
Section 6.8) or obligation of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.
11
(c)
Defense of Claims.
12
If a claim for Damages (a "Claim") is proposed to be made by a party
13
entitled to indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") against the party from
14
whom indemnification is claimed (the "Indemnifying Party"), the Indemnified Party shall
15
give written notice (a "Claim Notice") to the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable
16
after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may
17
give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 10.2.
18
If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of
19
indemnity hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as
20
promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) business days after the service
21
of the citation or summons). The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice
22
hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that
23
the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure.
24
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Claim Notice that relates to a representation or warranty
25
that is subject to the survival period set forth in Section 10.1 must be made within such
26
survival period, whether or not the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by any failure to
27
give a Claim Notice relating thereto. A Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail
28
the nature of the Claim, including an estimate of the amount of Damages that have been
29
or may be suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party attributable to such Claim, the
30
basis of the Indemnified Party's request for indemnification under the Agreement and all
31
information in the Indemnified Party's possession relating to such Claim. After receipt of
32
such Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, at its own cost,
33
risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or
34
action and (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the
35
same. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Claim within
36
ten (10) business days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party against
37
which such Claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the
38
Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party's cost and
39
expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the
40
account and risk of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such Claim shall not
41
be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
42
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The party that assumes the defense of the
43
Claim, shall keep the other party reasonably informed of the progress of any such
