IX.2 Indemnification by the Shareholders.  GEMX, Maull, and/or the Shareholders shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BRNW from and against any and all Losses which may be incurred or suffered by any such party hereto and which may arise out of or result from any breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of GEMX, Maull, and/or the Shareholders contained in this Agreement, as applicable.  All claims to be assorted hereunder must be made for the first anniversary of the Closing.

 

IX.3 Notice to Indemnifying Party.  If any party (the “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of any claim or other commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which any other party (or parties) (the “Indemnifying Party”) is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.1 or 9.2, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising here from and the basis of the claim.  Such notice shall be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party for indemnification hereunder, but the failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice of a claim shall not adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder unless the defense of that claim is materially prejudiced by such failure.  The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless suit shall have been instituted against it and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit after notification thereof as provided in Section 9.4.

pg. 20



its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party, in its sole discretion, determines that there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party (or any constituent party thereof) and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party (or any constituent party thereof) shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary to pursue the resolution thereof in a prompt and diligent manner.  The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to consent to a settlement of, or the stipulation of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required from the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all Losses arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof (as well as all other Losses theretofore incurred by the Indemnified Party which then remain unpaid or unreimbursed), (ii) in the case of a settlement, the settlement is conditioned upon a complete release by the claimant of the Indemnified Party and (iii) such settlement or judgment does not require the encumbrance of any asset of the Indemnified Party or impose any restriction upon its conduct of business.
