Section 7. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Indemnification;
------------------------------------------------------------
Exclusive Remedy.
-----------------
7.01. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The
----------------------------------------------
representations and warranties provided for in this Agreement shall survive for
a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date; provided, that any
representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under
this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate if
notice of the inaccuracy or breach thereof shall have been given to the party
against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such termination; and
provided, further, that such survival shall be solely with respect to such
inaccuracy or breach claimed.
7.02. Indemnification. (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold
---------------
harmless each of the Purchasers and its officers, directors, employees and
agents against any and all direct monetary costs, expenses, damages, liabilities
or losses (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel's fees and other
reasonable out-of-pocket costs incident to any suit, action or proceeding) (the
"Damages") to the extent caused by (i) the breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Company in this Agreement and (ii) the breach by the
Company of any covenant or agreement to be performed by it hereunder.
(b) The Purchasers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and
hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees and agents
against any and all Damages to the extent caused by (i) the breach of any
representation or warranty made by the Purchasers in this Agreement and (ii) the
breach by the Purchasers of any covenant or agreement to be performed by it
hereunder.
(c) Any Person providing indemnification pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 7.02 is hereinafter referred to as an "Indemnifying
Party" and any Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 7.02 is hereinafter referred to as an "Indemnified Party."
7.03. Procedures for Third Party Claims. In the case of any claim
------------------------------------
for indemnification arising from a claim of a third party (a "Third Party
Claim"), an Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of any claim or demand which such Indemnified Party has
knowledge and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder. The
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and to direct the defense
against any such Third Party Claim, in its name or in the name of the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party,
-10-
and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party unless (i) such Third Party
Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the
Indemnified Party, or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded
that (x) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim or
(y) the Indemnified Party has one or more defenses not available to the
Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Indemnified Party shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate
with the Indemnifying Party, and keep the Indemnifying Party fully informed, in
the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the
right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel
employed at its own expense; provided, however, that, in the case of any Third
Party Claim described in clause (i) or (ii) of the second preceding sentence or
as to which the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel to
assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.
The Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to
any Third Party Claim which shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without
the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
7.04. Procedures for Inter-Party Claims. In the event that an
------------------------------------
Indemnified Party determines that it has a claim for Damages against an
Indemnifying Party hereunder (other than as a result of a Third Party Claim),
the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party, specifying the amount of such claim and any relevant facts
and circumstances relating thereto. The Indemnified Party shall provide the
Indemnifying Party with reasonable access to its books and records for the
purpose of allowing the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to verify
any such claim for Damages. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
shall negotiate in good faith regarding the resolution of any disputed claims
for Damages.

suit, action or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, so long as one of such courts shall
have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or proceeding, and that
any cause of action arising out of this Agreement directly or indirectly shall
be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of New
York, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of
such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such
suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that
any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or
proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or
