11.2       THE PURCHASER’S AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY. Subject to the limitations and other terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, any of their respective successors or assigns and their respective directors, officers or employees (each a “SELLER INDEMNIFIED PARTY”) from and against all liability, assessments, losses, charges, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively “SELLER DAMAGES”) incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of (a) a material breach of any representation or warranty contained in ARTICLE 4 of this Agreement; (b) any material breach of or noncompliance by the Purchaser with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; and (c) any liability of the Corporation. (The Purchaser Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.” “PURCHASER DAMAGES” and “SELLER DAMAGES” are sometimes referred to collectively herein as “DAMAGES.”).
 
11.3       LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION. The Sellers’ obligation to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof and the obligations of the Purchaser to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 11.2 are subject to the following limitations, as well as the other limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 11:
 
11.3.1  No claim for indemnification shall be made against the Sellers unless the aggregate amount of Purchaser Damages exceeds $2,500,000 and, in such event, indemnification shall be made by the Sellers only to the extent that the aggregate amount of Purchaser Damages exceeds $2,500,000.
 
11.3.2  In no event (a) shall the Sellers’ individual aggregate obligation to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceed $1,000,000.00 and (b) shall the Purchaser’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties exceed $1,800,000.00; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on the Purchaser’s indemnification obligation shall not apply to the payment obligations and guarantees of the Purchaser and Redquartz set forth in Section 1.6 of this Agreement or in the Indemnification Agreement, the Employment Agreement or the Lease.
 
11.3.3  The amount of any Purchaser Damages or Seller Damages, as the case may be, shall be reduced by (a) any amount actually received by the Indemnified Parties with respect thereto under any insurance coverage or from any other party responsible therefore; and (b) the amount of any Tax benefit actually received by the Indemnified Parties relating thereto. The Indemnified Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance coverage and from such other party alleged to have responsibility. If the Indemnified Parties receive an amount under insurance coverage or from such other party with respect to Purchaser Damages or Seller Damages, as the case may be, at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided pursuant to this ARTICLE 11, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by the Indemnified Party.
 
11.3.4  No party shall be entitled to seek indemnification to the extent it was aware of the matter giving rise to such claim prior to Closing.
 
11.3.5  The Sellers may, at their option, pay any Purchaser Damages in cash or by transfer of Common Stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to such Purchaser Damages. For purposes of this Section 11.3.5, the “fair market value” shall be the Market Price for such shares on the date of any final judgment is entered or settlement is reached setting forth the total amount of the Purchaser Damages.
 
 
20

 

11.3.6  Any indemnification obligations of Sellers hereunder shall be allocated on a pro-rata basis, based on their respective percentage ownership of the common stock of the Corporation immediately prior to the Closing, and no Seller shall be liable for the obligations of any other Seller hereunder.
 
11.4        THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFICATION. The obligations of the Sellers, the Purchaser (as applicable, the “INDEMNIFYING PARTY”) to indemnify Indemnified Parties under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 hereof, respectively, with respect to Damages resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (each, as the case may be, a “CLAIM”), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
 
11.4.1 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third party of any complaint or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment from the other party for Damages, such Indemnified Party shall, within ten (10) days, notify the Sellers, the Purchaser as the appropriate Indemnifying Party, of such complaint or of the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under this Agreement with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of material rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim. In addition, the Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable thereafter such information and documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to support and verify the claim asserted, so long as such disclosure would not violate the attorney-client privilege of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party may at its option undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing; provided, that any Indemnified Party may, in any event, at its own expense, monitor and participate in, but not control, the defense of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days after notice of any such Claim fails to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Parties will (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk, and at the expense, of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that as long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any claim in good faith, the Indemnified Parties shall not pay or settle any such claim.
 
11.4.2 Anything in this Section 11.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise of any action, suit or proceeding or consent to the entry of any judgment (a) which does not include as an unconditional term hereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Parties of a written release from all liability in respect of such action, suit or proceeding; or (b) for other than monetary damages without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

11.5        SURVIVAL; TIME TO ASSERT CLAIMS.
 
11.5.1  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, except for covenants and agreements to be performed by the Parties prior to the Closing, will not be extinguished by the Closing but will survive the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.5.2 below with respect to the time periods within which claims for indemnity must be asserted. The covenants and agreements to be performed by the parties prior to the Closing shall expire at the Closing.
 
11.5.2  All claims for indemnification under this ARTICLE 11 which are not extinguished by the Closing in accordance with Section 11.5.1 must be asserted no later than one (1) year after the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Purchaser and Redquartz set forth in Sections 1.6, the Lease, the Employment Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement shall not expire.
