furnished to Buyer hereunder; and (c) any suit, action, proceeding, claim or
investigation, pending or threatened against or affecting Buyer that arises
from, that arose from, or that is based upon or pertaining to Seller' conduct or
operation of the business of the Seller or Seller' ownership, possession or use
of the Purchased Assets and employment of employees, and any other matter or
state of facts relating to the transactions contemplated herein existing prior
to Closing.
9.2 Indemnification from the Buyer. The Buyer agrees to and shall
indemnify, defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller) and hold
Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, affiliates and
assigns harmless at all times after the date of Closing from and against, and
in respect of any liability, claim, deficiency, loss, damage, or injury, and all
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonably attorneys' fees and costs of
any suit related thereto) suffered or incurred by Seller, from (a) any
misrepresentation by, or breach of any covenant or warranty of, the Buyer
contained in this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule, certificate, or other
agreement or instrument furnished or to be furnished by Buyer hereunder, or any
claim by a third party (regardless of whether the claimant is ultimately
successful), that if true, would be such a misrepresentation or breach; and (b)
any nonfulfillment of any agreement on the part of Buyer under this Agreement,
or from any misrepresentation in or omission from, any certificate or other
agreement or instrument furnished or to be furnished to Seller hereunder.
<PAGE>
9.3 Defense of Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed
against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written notice
thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and
in any event not less than fifteen (15) days prior to any hearing date or other
date by which action must be taken); provided that the failure of any
indemnified party to give timely notice shall not affect rights to
indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party
demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. After such notice, if the
indemnifying party shall acknowledge in writing to such indemnified party that
this Agreement applies with respect to such lawsuit or action, then the
indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the
defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action and to employ and engage
attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying
party's cost, risk and expense; and such indemnified party shall cooperate in
all reasonable respects, at its cost, risk and expense, with the indemnifying
party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit
or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the
indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in such investigation, trial
and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The
indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, effect any settlement of any proceeding in respect of which
any indemnified party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder unless
such settlement of a claim, investigation, suit, or other proceeding only
involves a remedy for the payment of money by the indemnifying party and
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
9.4 Default of Indemnification Obligation. If an entity or individual
having an indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation, as above
provided, shall fail to assume such obligation, then the party or entities or
both, as the case may be, to whom such indemnification, defense and hold
harmless obligation is due shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
assume and maintain such defense (including reasonable counsel fees and costs of
any suit related thereto) and to make any settlement or pay any judgment or
verdict as the individual or entities deem necessary or appropriate in such
individual's or entities' absolute sole discretion and to charge the cost of any
such settlement, payment, expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, to the entity or individual that had the obligation to provide such
indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation and same shall constitute
an additional obligation of the entity or of the individual or both, as the case
may be.

party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit
or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the
indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in such investigation, trial
and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The
indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, effect any settlement of any proceeding in respect of which
any indemnified party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder unless
such settlement of a claim, investigation, suit, or other proceeding only
involves a remedy for the payment of money by the indemnifying party and
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
8.4 Default of Indemnification Obligation. If an entity or individual
having an indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation, as above
provided, shall fail to assume such obligation, then the party or entities or
both, as the case may be, to whom such indemnification, defense and hold
harmless obligation is due shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
assume and maintain such defense (including reasonable counsel fees and costs of
any suit related thereto) and to make any settlement or pay any judgment or
verdict as the individual or entities deem necessary or appropriate in such
individual's or entities' absolute sole discretion and to charge the cost of any
such settlement, payment, expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, to the entity or individual that had the obligation to provide such
indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation and same shall constitute
an additional obligation of the entity or of the individual or both, as the case
may be.
