to Section 9.2 hereof, the Sellers and MRI hereby agree to indemnify and hold
the Purchaser, the Companies, and their respective directors, officers,

"Purchaser Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against:
(i) any
and all liabilities of the Companies of every kind, nature and description,
absolute or contingent, existing as against the Companies prior to and including
the Closing Date or thereafter coming into being or arising by reason of any
state of facts existing, or any transaction entered into, on or prior to the
Closing Date, except for the Assumed Debt;
(ii) subject
to Section 9.3, any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and
expenses (collectively, the “Losses”) based upon, attributable to or resulting
from the failure of any representation or warranty of the Sellers set forth in
Section 4 hereof, or any representation or warranty contained in any certificate
delivered by or on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, to be true
and correct in all material respects as of the date made;
34
(iii) any and
all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any
covenant or other agreement on the part of the Sellers under this
Agreement;
(iv) any and
all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments,
judgments, costs, penalties and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' and
other reasonable professionals' fees and disbursements (collectively,
"Expenses") incident to any and all Losses with respect to which indemnification
is provided pursuant to this Section 9.1(a)
(j) Subject
to Section 9.2, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Sellers and
their respective Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the
"Sellers’ Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against:
(i) any and
all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any
representation or warranty of the Purchaser set forth in Section 5 hereof, or
any representation or warranty contained in any certificate delivered by or on
behalf of the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, to be true and correct in
all material respects as of the date made;
(ii) any and
all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any
covenant or other agreement on the part of the Purchaser under this Agreement or
arising from the ownership or operation of the Companies from and after the
Closing Date; and
(iii) any and
all Expenses incident to the foregoing.
9.2 Limitations on
Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and
Warranties.
An
indemnifying party shall not have any liability under Section 9.1(a) or Section
9.1(b) hereof unless the aggregate amount of Losses and Expenses to the
indemnified parties finally determined to arise thereunder based upon,
attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty
to be true and correct, or any breach hereof, exceeds $150,000 (the
“Basket”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay
the entire amount of such Losses and Expenses in excess of $25,000 (the
“Deductible”), up to a maximum of $1,000,000.
9.3 Indemnification
Procedures.
(a) In
the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or
demand ("Claim") shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may
be sought under Section 9.1 hereof (regardless of the Basket or the Deductible
referred to above), the indemnified party shall reasonably and promptly cause
written notice of the assertion of any Claim of which it has knowledge which is
covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying
party. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole
option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses
of the indemnified party indemnified against hereunder. If the
indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal
with any Claim which relates to any Losses of the indemnified party indemnified
against hereunder, it shall within five (5) days (or sooner, if the nature of
the Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do
so. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses
of the indemnified party indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the
indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation
to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the
indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with
such Claim. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any such
Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the
defense of such Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be
entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense
of the indemnifying party if, (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to
participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified
party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and
the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable;
and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay
for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with
any Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each
other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such
Claim.
35
(b) After any
final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board
or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the
time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated,
or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a
mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the indemnified
party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing
by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such
matter, as determined by such court, board or agency or pursuant to such
settlement against, as the case may be and the indemnifying party shall be
required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by
wire transfer of immediately available funds within 10 business days after the
date of such notice.
9.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnity
Payments.
The
Sellers and the Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to
this Article 9 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local
and foreign income tax purposes.
9.5 No Right of Set
Off.
The Sellers and Purchaser agree than
any indemnification claim shall not be set off by any party without final
adjudication specific to the indemnity claim and the right to set
off.

heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably
waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which
they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute
brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance
of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in
any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment

and Waivers.
This

understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or
understandings among the parties with regard to the subject matter
hereof. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and
any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific
reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No
action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any
investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a
waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any
party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or
be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of
any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All
remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies
provided by law.
