ARTICLE 5
INDEMNIFICATION; SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS
5.1 Indemnification.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 5, and irrespective of any due diligence investigation conducted by Omni with regard to the transactions contemplated hereby, Pubco agrees to indemnify fully in respect of, hold harmless and defend Omni and the Shareholders, and each of the officers, agents and directors of Omni against any damages, liabilities, costs, claims, proceedings, investigations, penalties, judgments, deficiencies, including taxes, expenses (including, but not limited to, any and all interest, penalties and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) and losses (each, a "Claim" and collectively "Claims") to which it or they may become subject arising out of or based on any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties or covenants or conditions made by Pubco in this Agreement.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this Article 5, Omni and each Shareholder agrees to indemnify fully in respect of, hold harmless and defend Pubco and each of its officers, agents and directors against any Claims to which they may become subject arising out of or based on any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties or covenants or conditions made by Omni and/or any Shareholder in this Agreement.
5.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the representations and warranties given or made by Pubco, Omni and the Shareholders under this Agreement shall survive the date hereof for a period of forty-eight (48) months from and after the Closing Date (the last day of such period is herein referred to as the "Expiration Date"), except that any written claim for breach thereof made and delivered prior to the Expiration Date to the party against whom such indemnification is sought shall survive thereafter and, as to any such claim, such applicable expiration will not effect the rights to indemnification of the party making such claim; provided, however, that any representations and warranties that were fraudulently made shall not expire on the Expiration Date and shall survive indefinitely and claims with respect to fraud by Pubco, Omni or the Shareholders must be made at any time, as long as such claim is made within a reasonable period of time after discovery by the claiming party.
5.3 Method of Asserting Claims, Etc. The party claiming indemnification is hereinafter referred to as the "Indemnified Party" and the party against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is hereinafter referred to as the "Indemnifying Party." All Claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article 5 shall be asserted as follows:
23 |
(a) In the event that any Claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party, said Indemnified Party shall, within ten (10) business days from the date upon which the Indemnified Party has Knowledge of such Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim or demand) (the "Claim Notice"). The Indemnified Party's failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability hereunder unless such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend against the claim or demand. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the giving of the Claim Notice (the "Notice Period") to notify the Indemnified Party: (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Claim or demand, and (ii) whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Claims or demand; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading which he shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect his interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that he, she or it does not dispute liability for indemnification under this Article 5 and that such person desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand and except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted by him to a final conclusion. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party (a "Material Conflict"). If requested by the Indemnifying Party and there is no Material Conflict, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and his, her or its counsel in contesting any Claim or demand which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest or, if appropriate and related to the Claim in question, in making any Counterclaim against the person asserting the third party Claim or demand, or any cross-complaint against any person.

If, after receipt of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that he, she or it disputes such Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have admitted liability for such Claim in the amount set forth in the Claim Notice.
(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be given the opportunity to defend the respective Claim.

Such unavailability shall not give rise to any rescission right or damages for any party to this Agreement.
27 |
6.15 Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time after the Closing Date there is not an effective registration statement covering all of the Underlying Shares and Pubco determines to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, but excluding Forms S-4 or S-8 and similar forms which do not permit such registration, then Pubco shall send to each holder of any of the issued Issuable Shares and Underlying Shares written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen calendar days after receipt of such notice, any such holder shall so request in writing, Pubco shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Underlying Shares such holder requests to be registered and which inclusion of such Underlying Shares will be subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and minimum cutbacks in accordance with guidance provided by the SEC (including, but not limited to, Rule 415). The obligations of Pubco under this Section may be waived by any holder of any of the Securities entitled to registration rights under this Section 6.15. The holders whose Underlying Shares are included or required to be included in such registration statement are granted the same rights, benefits, liquidated or other damages and indemnification granted to other holders of securities included in such registration statement. In no event shall the liability of any holder of Securities or permitted successor in connection with any Underlying Shares included in any such registration statement be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such purchaser upon the sale of the Underlying Shares sold pursuant to such registration or such lesser amount in proportion to all other holders of Securities included in such registration statement. All expenses incurred by Pubco in complying with Section 6.15, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for Pubco, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are called "Registration Expenses."

The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration statement under Section 6.15. Selling Expenses in connection with each registration statement under Section 6.15 shall be borne by the holder and will be apportioned among such holders in proportion to the number of shares included therein for a holder relative to all the securities included therein for all selling holders, or as all holders may agree. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Pubco to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Issuable Shares and Underlying Shares of a particular purchaser that such purchaser shall furnish to Pubco in writing such information and representation letters, including a completed form of a securityholder questionnaire, with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as Pubco may reasonably request to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.
