AMENDMENT, WAIVER AND INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part at any time by an agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement, provided, however, that no amendment shall be made that changes the terms of this Agreement in any material respect and that requires the further approval or proceedings of any insurance Governmental Authority without such approval having first been obtained or such proceedings having first been completed.

(a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties to this Agreement;

(b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; or

(c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement.

Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

11.3 Survival of Obligations. All certifications, representations and warranties made in this Agreement by the Seller and the performance obligations of the Seller under the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date under this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice of any inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform not waived in writing, and notwithstanding the consummation of the sale and purchase of the Shares this Agreement contemplates with knowledge of such inaccuracy, breach or failure. All representations and warranties this Agreement contains shall terminate one year after the Closing Date; provided that the representations in Section 1.2 of this Agreement relating to the Seller’s title to the Shares shall not expire.

11.4 Indemnification.

(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers from and against any liabilities, losses, costs, deficiencies or damages (“Loss”) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, court costs and all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (“Expense”) the Purchasers incur arising from any claim that the Seller did not convey to the Purchasers good and marketable title to all of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, provided that with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 1.2 of this Agreement relating to the Seller’s title to the Shares, the liability of the Seller to the Purchasers shall not be in excess of the Purchase Price.

(b) If either Purchaser has suffered or incurred any Loss or incurred any Expense, it shall so notify the Seller promptly in writing describing such Loss or Expense, the amount of such Loss or Expense, if known, and the method of computation of such Loss or Expense, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement in respect of which such Loss or Expense shall have occurred. If any action at law or suit in equity is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any Indemnified Person intends to claim any liability or expense as Loss or Expense under this Section 11.4, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Person of such action or suit. The failure of an Indemnified Person to notify the Indemnifying Person promptly of a claim as contemplated by the preceding sentence shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Section 11.4 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is prejudiced in its defense of such claim as a result of such failure to give prompt notice.

(c) The Indemnified Persons shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of their choosing, any third party claim, action or suit and may compromise or settle the same, provided that any of the Indemnified Persons shall give the Indemnifying Person advance notice of any proposed compromise or settlement.
