4.1. Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Acquiror and each of its subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing or to have such power and authority would not have an Acquiror Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein).

8.1. Indemnification by Company. The Company agrees to save, defend and indemnify Acquiror and Merger Sub against and hold each of them harmless from any and all damages, claims, costs and expenses arising from the breach of any of Company’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or the documents executed by Company in connection herewith, which arise during the Indemnification Period.
8.2. Survival. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2 of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of four (4) years from the Closing Date, (the “Indemnification Period”). To the extent that an Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined) asserts in writing a claim for damages against an indemnifying party (as hereinafter defined) prior to the expiration of the Indemnification Period, which claim reasonably identifies the basis for the claims and the amounts of any reasonably ascertainable damages, the Indemnification Period shall be extended for such claim until such claim is resolved, subject to the limitations hereinafter provided.
8.3. Indemnification by Acquiror. Acquiror agrees to save, defend and indemnify the current holders of Company Common Stock who will receive shares of Acquiror Common Stock as a result of the consummation and closing of the Merger, against and hold each of them harmless from any and all damages arising from the breach of any of Acquiror’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or the documents executed by Acquiror in connection herewith, which arise during the Indemnification Period.
8.4. Defense of Claims. Each party properly entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to notify the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness of any claim asserted against it in respect of which the Indemnifying Party may be liable under this Agreement, which notification shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the basis of such claim and the manner of calculation thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly give notice shall not preclude such Indemnified Party from obtaining indemnification under this Article VIII, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that the Indemnifying Party’s failure materially prejudices the rights or increases the liabilities and obligations of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to defend or compromise any such claim at its own expense with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that: (a) such counsel shall have been approved by the Indemnified Party prior to engagement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (b) the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense, if it so chooses with its own counsel and at its own expense; and (c) any such defense or compromise shall be conducted in a manner which is reasonable and not contrary to the Indemnified Party’s interest. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to defend or compromise, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention not to undertake to defend or compromise the claim.
ARTICLE IX
