ARTICLE IV
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 4.1 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in
Articles II and III hereof shall survive until the first anniversary of the date
hereof.
SECTION 4.2 Indemnification. Each party (including its officers,
directors, employees, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns (each an
"Indemnified Party")) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the other
parties hereto (each an "Indemnifying Party") for any and all liabilities,
losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and
penalties (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) actually suffered or incurred by them (collectively, "Losses"),
arising out of or resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty
made by an Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the aggregate liability of any Investor under this Article IV shall
in no event exceed fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price paid by such
Investor for the Shares purchased by it and the aggregate liability of the
Company under this Article IV shall in no event exceed fifty percent (50%) of
the purchase price paid by the Investors for the Shares, except that the
Company's liability for a violation of any of the representations and warranties
contained in the first two sentences of Section 2.7 may exceed such limitation,
but shall in no event exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price
paid by the Investors for the Shares.
SECTION 4.3 Indemnification Procedure. The obligations and liabilities of
the Indemnifying Party under this Article IV with respect to Losses arising from
claims of any third party that are subject to the indemnification provided for
in this Article IV ("Third Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent
upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party
shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give
the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim promptly after the
receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice (which notice shall include the
amount of the Loss, 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); provided, however, that the failure to
provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its
obligations under this Article IV except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
materially prejudiced by such
7
<PAGE>
failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation
or liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this
Article IV. Upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within five (5) days of
the receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its or his expense and
through counsel of its or his choice (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to 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 counsel to the Indemnified Party for
the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its or his own
counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably
determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. 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 such 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 (including himself),
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. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by
the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Indemnified Party without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld); provided, however, in the event that the Indemnified
Party does not consent to any such settlement that would provide it with a full
release from indemnified Loss and would not require it to take, or refrain from
taking, any action, the Indemnifying Party's liability for indemnification shall
not exceed the amount of such proposed settlement. The Indemnified Party will
refrain from any act or omission that is inconsistent with the position taken by
the Indemnifying Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim unless the
Indemnified Party determines that such act or omission is reasonably necessary
to protect its own interest.
ARTICLE V

registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or (vi) immediately after any
