All such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing hereunder. Except for those representations and warranties in Sections 3.4, 3.5, 4.1, 5.1 and 7.5 all of which representations and warranties shall survive without limitation), all representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in this Agreement shall terminate and expire two years after the Closing Date. 12.

Notice and Opportunity to Defend. (a) Notice of Asserted Liability. The party making a claim under this Article 12 is referred to as the "Indemnitee," and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article 12 is referred to as the "Indemnifying Party." All claims by any Indemnitee under this Article 12 shall be asserted and resolved as follows: Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of any Claim or circumstances which, with the lapse of time, would or might give rise to a Claim or the commencement (or threatened commencement) of a Claim including any action, proceeding or investigation (an "Asserted Liability") that may result in a Loss, the Indemnitee shall give 25 notice thereof (the "Claims Notice") to the Indemnifying Party. The Claims Notice shall describe the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary and to the extent feasible) of the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnitee. (b) Opportunity to Defend. The Indemnifying Party may elect to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects to compromise or defend such Asserted Liability, it shall within 30 days (or sooner, if the nature of the Asserted Liability so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the compromise of, or defense against, such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend the Asserted Liability, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such Asserted Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any Asserted Liability over the objection of the other; provided, however, consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may participate, at their own expense, in the defense of such Asserted Liability. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Asserted Liability, the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense. 26 13. Termination of Agreement. 13.1. Termination.

If this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 13.1 and the Contemplated Transactions are not consummated, this Agreement shall become null and void and have no further force or effect, except that any such termination shall be without prejudice to the rights of any party on account of the nonsatisfaction of the conditions set forth in Articles 8 and 9 resulting from the intentional or willful breach or violation of the representa tions, warranties, covenants or agreements of another party under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Sections 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5, this Section 13.2 and Articles 10 and 14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 14.
