(i) Subsequent to the Closing, GG and the Responsible Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify GOLF and SVCH (“GOLF Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold each of the GOLF Indemnified Parties harmless from any damage, claim, loss, cost, liability or expense of GG or the GOLF Indemnified Parties, including without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation, diminution of value of GG, response action, removal action or remedial action (collectively “Damages”) incurred by GG or any such GOLF Indemnified Party, that are incident to, arise out of, in connection with, or related to, whether directly or indirectly, the breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of GG or the Responsible Party contained in this Agreement or any schedule hereto or in any certificate or instrument of conveyance delivered by or on behalf of GG or the Responsible Party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby including, without limitation, any Damages incurred by any GOLF Indemnified Party arising from any action instituted by any obligee of GG or any of its Subsidiaries (other than those amounts to be paid by GOLF pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof).

 

(ii) Subsequent to the Closing, GOLF shall indemnify GG and its officers and directors, in their capacity as such (“GG Indemnified Parties”), against, and hold each of the GG Indemnified Parties harmless from, any Damages incurred by such GG Indemnified Party, that are incident to, arise out of, in connection with, or related to, whether directly or indirectly, the breach of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement of GOLF contained in this Agreement, any schedule or in any certificate or instrument of conveyance delivered by or on behalf of GOLF pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

The term “Damages” as used in this Section 6.4 is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against GOLF Indemnified Parties or GG Indemnified Parties, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by such Persons in the absence of third party claims.

 

(b) Procedure for Claims.

 

(i) If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a Person entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Person claiming such indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”), subject to clause (ii) below, shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.4. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except and only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual material damage caused by such failure. In the case of a Claim involving the assertion of a claim by a third party (whether pursuant to a lawsuit or other legal action or otherwise, a “Third-Party Claim”), if the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party under the terms of its

 

17


indemnity hereunder in connection with such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying party shall be entitled and, if it so elects, shall be obligated at its own cost, risk and expense, (1) to take control of the defense and investigation such Third-Party Claim and (2) to pursue the defense thereof in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings promptly taken or instituted and diligently pursued, including, without limitation, to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but not obligated), if it so elects, to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or other legal action in accordance with this Section 6.4, the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided that, if the named Persons to a lawsuit or other legal action include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.4 within 10 calendar days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Third-Party Claim has been asserted shall upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third- Party Claim on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Party; provided that such Third-Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement, and in the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Third-Party Claim effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.4 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding clause (i) above, in the event that the Indemnified Party is an GG Indemnified Party, any Claim Notice election or other notification or correspondence required pursuant to such clause (i) shall be valid if it is delivered to John D. Harris (the “Stockholder Representative”). The Responsible Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Stockholder Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 6.4, and hereby irrevocably grants to the Stockholder Representative the authority to administer Claims on behalf of such Stockholder, to exercise such other rights and powers as are set forth in this Agreement and to enter into, and to bind such Stockholder with respect to, the settlement of any such Claim. Each GOLF Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely on the agreements and representations of, and notices and other correspondence from, the Stockholder Representative as such agent and attorney-in-fact in connection with any Claim by or against any Stockholder pursuant to this Section 6.4.

 

18


(c) No Right of Contribution. After the Closing, the Responsible Party shall not have any right of contribution against the Surviving Corporation for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of GG. GOLF and GG shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security, for the purpose of asserting their respective rights under this Section 6.4. The remedies described in this Section 6.4 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, and any other remedies at law or in equity that the parties may elect to pursue.

 

SECTION 6.5 Consent of Certified Public Accountant. At all times after the Closing, GG and the Responsible Party shall cause the certified public accountant responsible for the preparation of the GG Financial Statements to promptly provide any consents required by the Surviving Corporation in connection with its periodic report filing obligations with the SEC.

 

SECTION 6.6 Sale of Subsidiaries of GG. Immediately following the Closing, the Responsible Party shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Subsidiaries. In connection with such acquisitions, the Responsible Party shall, as of the Closing, have delivered to GG the executed releases from the obligees of any and all liabilities of GG or its Subsidiaries referred to in Section 2.7 hereof.

 

SECTION 6.7 Issuance of Warrants. At the time of the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall issue five-year warrants exercisable at par value to purchase 3,500,000 shares of GG Common Stock each to Osvaldo Pi, Daniel Bogar, William Fusselman and Ronald M. Stein.
