contained in this Agreement, nor any statement or certificate furnished or to be
furnished by Seller to Acquirer or its representatives in connection herewith or

their respective federal income Tax Returns for the taxable year including the

required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.351-3. No Party hereto, unless
required by law, will take any Tax reporting position inconsistent with the

described in Section 351(a) of the Code.

contemplated hereby shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the satisfaction or
waiver of any condition to Closing.
Section 7.2 INDEMNITIES.
(a) Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each of the other parties to this Agreement, and their respective
officers, directors, attorneys, accountants and consultants from and against any
and all Damages actually suffered or paid by any of such Persons as a result of
the breach of any representation or warranty made by such indemnifying party in
this Agreement. To the extent that any party's undertakings set forth in this
Section 7.2(a) may be unenforceable, such party shall contribute the maximum
amount that they are permitted to contribute under applicable law to the payment
and satisfaction of all Damages incurred by any Person entitled to
indemnification hereunder.
(b) Any Person seeking indemnification under this Article VII (an
"Indemnified Party") shall give each Party from whom indemnification is being
sought (each, an "Indemnifying Party") notice of any matter for which such
Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification, stating the amount of the Damages,
if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the
provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification
is claimed or arises. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this
Article VII with respect to Damages arising from any claims of any third party
which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VII
(collectively, "Third Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent upon
15
the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall
receive, after the Closing Date, initial notice of any Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party
Claim within such time frame as is necessary to allow for a timely response and
in any event within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such
notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such timely notice shall
not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this
Article VII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced
by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control
the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its
choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party
within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a
conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment
of the Indemnified Party (upon advice of counsel) for the same counsel to
represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party and such counsel
shall contest such Third Party Claims in good faith. In the event the
Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any
such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate
with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the
Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all witnesses,
pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party's
possession or under the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as is
reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the
Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any
such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the
Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party,
at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and
information in the Indemnifying Party's possession or under the Indemnifying
Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the
Indemnified Party, (i) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to
the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a
written release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (ii)
settle or compromise any Third Party Claim in any manner that may adversely
affect the Indemnified Party. No Third Party Claim which is being defended in
good faith by the Indemnifying Party or which is being defended by the
Indemnified Party as provided above in this Section 7.2(c) shall be settled by
the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
ARTICLE VIII

each Party to this Agreement will bear its respective fees and expenses incurred
in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of

be subject to any rights of such Party arising from a breach of this Agreement
by another Party.
16
Section 8.2 WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of
the Parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any
failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will
operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or
further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
(a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents
referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in
part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed
by the other Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be
applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no
notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation
of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take
further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the
documents referred to in this Agreement.
Section 8.3 ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties
with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the Exhibits and
other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement) a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to its
subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise
modified except by a written agreement executed by the Party to be charged with
the amendment.
Section 8.4 ASSIGNMENTS, SUCCESSORS AND NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. No
Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Subject to the
preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects
upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the
Parties. Except with respect to Article VII, nothing expressed or referred to in
this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Parties to
this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with
respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights
as shall inure to a successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section.
Section 8.5 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held
invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision
of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will
remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
Section 8.6 CONSTRUCTION. The headings of Articles and Sections in
this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its
