 any breach of any representation or warranty of such Seller set forth in Section 3 or, based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Percentage, of the Company set forth in Section 5 (other than any breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 5(j) (Tax Matters) which are addressed in Section 7(b)(i)(E) below);

(i)

Subject to the other limitations described in this Agreement, none of the Sellers or the Company shall have any obligation to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Persons from and against any Losses pursuant to Section 7(b)(i)(A) (other than with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation) until Buyer Indemnified Persons have suffered Losses by reason of all such breaches in an aggregate amount that exceeds the Basket, after which point Sellers will be obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Persons from and against the first



- 30 -



 


dollar of such Losses; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to Losses resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation or Section 7(b)(i)(D) or Section 7(b)(i)(E).

(ii)

The aggregate amount of all Losses suffered by Buyer Indemnified Persons for which either the Company or the Sellers will be liable pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) shall not exceed the Indemnification Cap; provided, however, that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to Losses resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or breaches of Fundamental Representations or Section 7(b)(i)(D) or Section 7(b)(i)(E). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including the foregoing sentence, other than in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of such Seller, no Seller’s aggregate liability for Losses under this Agreement shall exceed such Seller’s Pro Rata Share.

(iii)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable for, and the definition of Losses shall not include any punitive damages (except to the extent such damages are awarded to a Governmental Authority or other third party).

(iv)

All indemnification payments under this Section 7 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of the applicable claim.  

(v)

The right to indemnification, payment of any Losses or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and agreements will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement.

(vi)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Seller shall have any obligation to indemnify any Buyer Indemnified Party for (i) any Losses to the extent arising as a direct result of the unreasonable exercise by Buyer of Buyer’s rights as set forth in Exhibit F (Actions Requiring Purchaser’s Consent) of the Call Option Agreement or (ii) any Losses to the extent actually resulting in an adjustment to the Agreed Valuation (as defined in the Call Option Agreement), if any, pursuant to the Call Option Agreement.

(e)

(i)

The aggregate amount of all Losses suffered by Seller Indemnified Persons for which the Buyer will be liable pursuant to Section 7(e) shall not exceed the Indemnification Cap, other than Buyer’s obligation in Section 2; provided, however, that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to Losses resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation or breaches of Buyer Fundamental Representations; provided, further that until Seller Indemnified Persons have suffered Losses by reason of all such breaches (other than with respect to a Breach of a Buyer Fundamental Representation) in an aggregate amount that exceeds the Basket, after which point Buyer will be obligated to indemnify Seller Indemnified Persons from and against the first dollar of such Losses.

(g)

Matters Involving Third Parties and Direct Claims

(i)

If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 7, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(ii)

Any Indemnifying Party will have the right, subject to the last sentence of this Section 7(g)(ii), at any time to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of such Indemnifying Party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably) unless (A) the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, (B) there is no finding or admission of any violation by the Indemnified Party of any Law or any rights of any Person and (C) the Indemnified Party receives a full and unconditional release of and from the Third Party Claim and any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person by the Person bringing the Third Party Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that (w) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may adversely affect it or any of its Affiliates, including if injunctive or other equitable relief is sought and can be imposed against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (x) the Third Party Claim, if unfavorably decided, would reasonably be likely to lead to Losses, liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or in excess of the limitations contained in this Section 7, (y) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasicriminal Proceeding, or (z) the Indemnifying Party is also a party or has an interest in such Third Party Claim, which interest conflicts with the interests of the Indemnified Party, then, in each case, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third Party Claim.



- 32 -



 


(iii)

Unless and until an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 7(g)(ii) above, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 7(g)(ii) above, then the Indemnifying Party shall diligently conduct the defense at its expense.

(iv)

A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by notice (a “Direct Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as reasonably practicable, which Direct Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.  If, by the thirtieth (30th) Business Day after a Direct Claim Notice is sent (the “Dispute Period”), the Indemnified Party has not received from the Indemnifying Party notice in writing that the Indemnifying Party objects to the claim (or the amount of Losses set forth therein) asserted in such Direct Claim Notice and describing in reasonable detail the basis of such dispute (a “Dispute Notice”), then the Indemnifying Party will be deemed not to dispute the claim described in the related Direct Claim Notice. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to dispute the claim described in a Direct Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Dispute Notice or otherwise, then the amount of Losses alleged in such Direct Claim Notice will be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of the Indemnifying Party.

(h)

Sellers’ Representative shall act on behalf of Sellers for purposes of this Section 7 for any Third Party Claim or direct claim for indemnification, which is the subject of the indemnification provisions of this Section 7.

(i)

[Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties can set a specific procedure to manage the consumer and labor claims which arise from the activities conducted by them in relation to the services provided by the Company under the Services Agreement.]

(j)

Exclusive Remedy.  Except for any equitable remedies of the Parties expressly provided herein (including for the specific performance of, or injunctive relief or other equitable remedies) or for causes of action relating to fraud or intentional misrepresentation, Buyer and Sellers acknowledge and agree that the indemnification provisions in this Section 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and Sellers after the Closing with respect to claims arising under or as a result of this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k)

Manner of Payment

(i)

Any amount payable by either the Company or any Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 7 shall be payable in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by a Buyer Indemnified Person within five Business Days following the final determination of the claim given rise to such payment obligation.



- 33 -
