8.2.       Buyer’s Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify Sellers and their successors and assigns, and hold each of them harmless from and against and pay on behalf of or reimburse Sellers in respect of any Losses arising from or related to: (i) any misrepresentation or the breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer contained in this Agreement; (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer contained in this Agreement; or (iii) the operations of Company or the ownership, use, occupancy or operation of any asset owned by the Company on and after the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, the employment of any Person, personal injury claims, breach of contract and the failure to comply with any Law and any liabilities or obligations arising under any Environmental Laws.

 

8.3.       Notice and Defense of Indemnity Claims. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action or claim made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such action or claim, and include copies of any written complaint, summons, correspondence or other communication from the party asserting the claim or initiating the action.

 

As to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the limitations below, be entitled assume and thereafter control the defense of such Indemnity Claim. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if the claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (i) seeks non-monetary relief, (ii) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (iii) involves a claim to which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination would be materially detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects, or (iv) involves a claim which, upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, together with the Indemnifying Party, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of any such matter through the Indemnifying Party’s own attorneys and at its own expense. The Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to such matters and the parties hereto agree to render each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof. An Indemnifying Party shall not make any settlement of any claims, other than claims strictly for monetary damages as to which the Indemnifying Party agrees to be responsible and which expressly unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect to such claim, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed to be unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or its assets, employees or business.

8.4.       Payment. After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or Buyer and Sellers shall have reached an agreement, in each case with respect to an indemnifiable claim hereunder, Buyer shall forward to Sellers notice of any sums due and owing by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and Sellers shall pay all of such remaining sums so due and owing to Buyers by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) business days after the date of such notice; provided, however, that Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to set-off any such amounts in accordance with Section 2.3.

 

8.5.       Purchase Price Adjustments. Amounts paid to or on behalf of Buyer Parties as indemnification shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

 

8.6.       Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and all related rights to indemnification shall survive the Closing.

 

8.7.       Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided in this are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.
