Buyer shall provide Sellers with copies of the final Phase I and Phase II reports as each such report is generated.

Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, and will pay to them the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered to Sellers’ Representatives in connection herewith (in each case, determined without giving effect to any qualifications therein referencing the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other terms of similar import or effect), or (b) any breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement or any breach by the Company of any post-Closing covenant or post-Closing obligation under this Agreement.

12.3 Indemnitee’s Tax Benefits. Indemnification payments under this Article XII and Section 13.1 hereof shall be paid by the indemnifying party without reduction for any tax benefits available to the indemnified party.

12.4 Limitations. No claims for breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or obligations may be brought after the time limitations set forth in Article XI. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than with respect to a claim arising out of fraud or willful misconduct, no party shall have any obligation to indemnify the other hereunder, unless (i) (except with respect to a claim arising out of Sections 12.1(a)(ii)) the amount of Damages sustained or incurred with respect to a particular claim (together with all related claims) exceeds $5,000 and (ii) (except with respect to a breach of any Fundamental Representation, breach of any covenant or obligation, or with respect to a Tax Claim) the aggregate amount of Damages sustained or incurred with respect to all claims by such party pursuant to this Agreement exceeds $150,000 (the “Basket”), and then (except with respect to a breach of any Fundamental Representation, breach of any covenant or obligation, or with respect to a Tax Claim) only to the extent of the excess of the aggregate amount of Damages sustained or incurred by such party with respect to all claims by such party pursuant to this Agreement above the Basket amount up to (but not in excess of) a maximum aggregate indemnity for such Damages of an amount (the “Cap”) equal to (a) for claims made within one (1) year after the Closing, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchase Price; and (b) for claims made more than one (1) year after the Closing, ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price.

12.5 Procedures for Indemnification -- Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 12.1 or 12.2 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except, and only to the extent that, the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is materially prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 12.5(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding or the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that the indemnifying party provides written notice of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding to the indemnified party within ten (10) days of receipt by the indemnifying party of the notice of claim by the indemnified party, and, after delivery of such written notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Article XII for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding:

(i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification;

(ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless: (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and

-43-

(iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent, other than reasonable, documented costs of investigation.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the indemnifying party does not, within ten (10) days after the indemnified party’s notice is given pursuant to this Section 12.5, give written notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding as permitted under Section 12.5(b), or (ii) the indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, then in either case the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but, in such case the indemnifying party will not be bound by any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) unless such compromise or settlement: (A) results in no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and (B) does not obligate the indemnifying party to pay monetary damages.

12.6 Procedure for Indemnification -- Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

12.7 Exclusive Remedy. (a) Buyer hereby agrees that besides the termination rights afforded under Article X hereof, the rights and remedies of Buyer contained in this Article XII and in Section 13.1 to recover Damages (subject to the limitations set forth herein) shall be the sole and exclusive rights and remedies that they shall have against the Company or any Seller arising out of, relating to or resulting from a breach of representation, warranty or covenant (except for any covenant set forth in Article II or Article VIIA) under this Agreement, except with respect to any claim arising out of fraud or the willful misconduct of any Seller or the Company.

(b) Each Seller hereby agrees that it shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly or indirectly make any claim for indemnification or contribution against the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates by reason of the fact that any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller is or was a shareholder, director, manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Affiliates or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Affiliates as a partner, manager, trustee, director, officer, employee or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim or demand brought by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates against Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or applicable law or otherwise. In no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates have any liability whatsoever to any Seller (or any Affiliate of any Seller) for breaches of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of such Seller or the Company hereunder, and no Seller shall (and each shall cause its Affiliates not to) in any event seek contribution from the Company or any of its Affiliates in respect of any payments required to be made by any Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

-44-

12.8 Tax Treatment. All indemnification payments shall constitute adjustments to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, and no party hereto shall take any position inconsistent with such characterization, unless a final determination by any Governmental Body causes any such amount not to constitute an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

12.9 Manner of Payment; Right of Set-Off. Except as otherwise provided herein, any indemnification of the Buyer or any Seller hereunder shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, to an account(s) designated by the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representatives, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after the determination thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 12.9 or otherwise in this Agreement, Buyer and its Affiliates shall first recover any Damages under Section 12.1 from the Escrow Account. To the extent the Escrow Amount is insufficient for any portion of such recovery, Buyer and its Affiliates may recover the remaining portion of any Damages required to be paid to Buyer or any of its Affiliates pursuant hereto from the Sellers on a joint and several basis.

ARTICLE XIII

TAX MATTERS

The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility for, and the rights and remedies of the Buyer and Sellers with respect to, certain Tax matters:

13.1 Tax Indemnification. Subject to Sections 12.1(b), 12.3, 12.5, 12.6 12.7 and 12.8 hereof, each Seller shall, jointly and severally, protect, defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer and its Affiliates harmless from and against (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, (ii) all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, (iii) all Taxes of any member of an Affiliated Group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the foregoing) is or was a member for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 (or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign law or regulation), and (iv) any Taxes imposed under IRC §1374 (and any corresponding provision of state or local law). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall have no obligation to protect, defend, indemnify or hold Buyer and its Affiliates harmless from and against any Taxes to the extent such Taxes may be offset by deposits, installments, other payments, credits, reserves or net operating losses paid or arising on or before the Closing Date. Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for any taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary which are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to this Section 13.1 at least five (5) days prior to payment of such Taxes by Buyer or the Company.

13.2 Tax Periods Ending On or Before the Closing Date. The Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed (in a manner consistent with past custom and practice of the Company) all Tax Returns of the Company for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date.

13.3 Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Buyer, the Company and the Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company, the Sellers and the Buyer agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer or the Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring any such books or records and, if the other party so requests, the Company or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

-45-

13.4 Tax Sharing Arrangements. The Sellers and the Company will cause all Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements, if any, and all powers of attorney with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns that involve the Company to be terminated prior to the Closing and, after the Closing, the Company will not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

13.5 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding Section 12.1(b) and any other provision of this Article XIII, the parties agree that all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest thereon, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement shall be borne by the Buyer. The Buyer shall prepare at its own expense any Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes required to be filed by Buyer, and, if required by applicable law, any other party hereto will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation required to be filed by Buyer.

13.6. Audits and Contests Regarding Taxes. Any party hereto who receives any notice of a pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, or adjustment relating to the Company, or the Sellers with respect to the Company, which may give rise to liability of another party hereto, shall promptly notify Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives within ten (10) business days of the receipt of such notice. The parties hereto each agree to consult with and to keep the other parties hereto informed on a regular basis regarding the status of any Tax audit or proceeding to the extent that such audit or proceeding could affect the liability of such other parties (including indemnity obligations hereunder). The Sellers’ Representatives shall have the right to represent the Company’s interests in any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice and at Sellers’ expense, but reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, but only to the extent such audit or other proceeding pertains to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Buyer shall have the right to participate in such proceeding at its own expense, and shall be entitled to control the disposition of any issue involved in such proceeding which does not affect a potential liability of any Seller. The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representatives shall be entitled to represent its own interests in light of its responsibilities (including indemnity obligations) for the related Taxes, at its own expense, in any audit or administrative or judicial proceedings involving a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, provided that with respect to any such period, no party hereto shall communicate with Representatives of an auditing Taxing Authority on any substantive matter without advising all other parties hereto of the communication in advance, and if oral, providing the other parties hereto an adequate opportunity to participate in such communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Representatives shall not agree to any settlement for any taxable period that would affect Tax liabilities of Buyer or the Company for any taxable period beginning on or after the Closing Date without prior written consent of Buyer. Except as provided in this Section 13.7, the provisions of Article XII including the provisions therein addressing settlement authority, shall govern the manner in which Tax audit or administrative or judicial Proceedings are resolved.
