The expiration of any representation or warranty as provided in this Section 6.01 hereof shall preclude any indemnity with respect thereof under this Article VI from and after the time such representation or warranty shall have expired; provided, however, that the expiration of any such representation or warranty shall not affect the rights of any party in respect of any such indemnity claim therefor as to which notice thereof has been given under this Article VI prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period provided in this Section 6.01 hereof.

6.02 Indemnification by Seller. From and after the Initial Closing Date, Seller shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Buyer and its respective officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates and successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses (as defined below) incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party and arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty given or made by Seller in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements and (ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements.

6.04 Notice of Indemnity Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties entitled to or seeking indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) (a) determines that any event, occurrence, fact, condition or claim has given or could give rise to Losses for which such Indemnified Party is or may be entitled to, or may seek, indemnification under this Agreement, (b) otherwise identifies an event, occurrence, fact, condition or claim giving rise (or which may give rise) to a right of indemnification hereunder in favor of such Indemnified Party, or (c) with respect to any third-party claim, becomes aware of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity (any of the foregoing, an “Indemnity Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or parties obligated to provide indemnification or from whom indemnification is being or will be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such Indemnity Claim (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, however, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Any Claim Notice not relating to a third-party claim shall specify the nature of the Loss and the estimated amount thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes the referenced Claim, the amount of such Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder (a “Final Claim”).

6.05 Losses Defined. As used in this Article VI, “Losses” means any and all losses, liabilities, obligations and damages and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and charges, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other amounts incurred in proceedings relating to Losses, but all of which Losses shall be reduced by (a) any insurance proceeds actually recovered with respect to the events or transactions giving rise to such Losses (less any increase in annual premiums as a result of such claims) or (b) any reserve set forth in, or provision made in, the Financial Statements specifically with respect to the events or transactions giving rise to such Losses.

The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof shall not exceed $500,000 (the “Cap”). The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof shall not exceed the Cap.

6.09 Tax Benefits and Tax Detriments. Any Losses shall be calculated net of any tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party by reason of deductibility of such Losses.

6.10 Mitigation. Each of the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or minimize Losses under this Agreement upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable under this Article VI; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.10 is intended to obligate any such parties to incur extraordinary expense or risk to mitigate or minimize any such Losses.

6.11 Review Rights. Upon reasonable request and during regular business hours and not to exceed more than twice per calendar year, at Seller’s own cost expense, Seller may request and shall have access to relevant supporting materials and other documents as reasonably necessary to verify compliance with the terms and conditions of this Article VI and to investigate and verify any claims made pursuant this Article VI.
