There is no reasonable basis for any claim or 17 -17- action that, based upon the likelihood of its being asserted and its success if asserted, would have a material adverse effect. 4.7 FILINGS, CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except for any filings required by applicable laws, no filing or registration with, no notice to and no permit, authorization, consent, or approval of any public or governmental body or authority or other person or entity is necessary for the consummation by CYBERNET of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to enable CYBERNET to continue to conduct its business after the Closing Date in a manner which is consistent with that in which it is presently conducted. SECTION 5 SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION 5.1 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The representations, warranties and covenants made by the parties shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months from the Closing Date. 5.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY VIANET STOCKHOLDERS. The VIANET Stockholders, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify CYBERNET and its officers, directors, Stockholders, employees, agents and affiliates (other than the Stockholders themselves) in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all damages, fines, fees, penalties, deficiencies, losses and expenses (including without limitation interest, court costs, fees of attorneys, accountants and other experts or other expenses of litigation or other proceedings or of any claim, default or assessment) suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the VIANET Stockholders contained in this Agreement. 5.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY CYBERNET CYBERNET agrees to indemnify the VIANET Stockholders in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all damages, fines, fees, penalties, deficiencies, losses and expenses (including without limitation interest, court costs, fees of attorneys, accountants and other experts or other expenses of litigation or other 18 -18- proceedings or of any claim, default or assessment) suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of CYBERNET contained in this Agreement. 5.4 PROCEDURES FOR INDEMNIFICATION FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. Whenever indemnification is sought under this Section 5 in connection with a claim or demand brought by a third party, the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee") will promptly notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnitor"), specifying the nature of such claims, the amount or estimated amount of such claim and attaching copies of all relevant information concerning the underlying claim of liability. Within ten days of receipt of such notice, the Indemnitor will notify the Indemnitee promptly whether it disputes its indemnification obligation. If the indemnification obligation is not so disputed, the Indemnitor, at the option of the Indemnitee, will, at the Indemnitor's cost and expense, defend any such claim. If the Indemnitee so elects for the Indemnitor to defend any claim, the Indemnitor will have full control over the conduct of such proceeding, although the Indemnitee will have the right to retain legal counsel at its own expense and will have the right to approve any settlement of any claim, provided that such approval may not be withheld unreasonably. If the Indemnitee does not elect for the Indemnitor to assume the defense of such claim, the Indemnitee will have the right to defend the claim at the reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such third party claim to the extent that the Indemnitor's ability to defend has been irreparably prejudiced by the failure or delay of the Indemnitee to give Indemnitor the notice required by this Section 5.4. Any dispute of an indemnification obligation under this Agreement may be resolved by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction. 5.5 PROCEDURES FOR INDEMNIFICATION FOR NON-THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. If any Indemnitee has a claim under Section 5 against any Indemnitor that does not involve a third party claim as described in Section 5.4 above, the Indemnitee will promptly notify the Indemnitor of such claim, specifying the nature of such claim and the amount of any loss incurred by the Indemnitee. The failure by any Indemnitee to give such notice will not impair such party's rights under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnitor demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnitor notifies the Indemnitee that it does not dispute the claim described in such notice or fails to notify the Indemnitee within 30 days its receipt of such notice, the loss in the amount specified in the notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnitor under Section 6 and the Indemnitor 19 -19- will pay the amount of such loss to the Indemnitee on demand. If the Indemnitor has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within 60 days after the Indemnitor's receipt of the initial claim notice, such dispute may be resolved by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction. 5.6 INDEMNIFICATION FOR FEES AND COMMISSIONS. Each party to this Agreement is responsible for paying any broker, finder or investment banker that is entitled to receive any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of such party and indemnifies and holds harmless the other parties from any such fees or commissions. SECTION 6 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 6.1 ACTIONS BY VIANET STOCKHOLDERS. Any action or remedy of the VIANET Stockholders under this Agreement, including without limitation, a request for arbitration or indemnification, must be exercised jointly by the VIANET Stockholders. 6.2 EFFECTIVENESS OF REPRESENTATIONS. Each party is entitled to rely on the representations, warranties and agreements of each of the other parties and all such representation, warranties and agreement will be effective regardless of any investigation that any party has undertaken or failed to undertake. 6.3 TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby by: (a) Mutual agreement of CYBERNET and VIANET Stockholders; (b) CYBERNET, if there has been a breach by VIANET Stockholders of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement on the part of VIANET Stockholders that is not cured, to the reasonable satisfaction of CYBERNET, 20 -20- within ten business days after notice of such breach is given by CYBERNET (except that no cure period will be provided for a breach by VIANET Stockholders that by its nature cannot be cured); (c) VIANET Stockholders, if there has been a breach by CYBERNET of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement on the part of CYBERNET that is not cured by the breaching party, to the reasonable satisfaction of Stockholders, within ten business days after notice of such breach is given by Stockholders (except that no cure period will be provided for a breach by CYBERNET that by its nature cannot be cured); (d) CYBERNET or VIANET Stockholders, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has not been consummated prior to December 31, 1998, unless the parties agree to extend such date; or (e) CYBERNET or VIANET Stockholders if any permanent injunction or other order of a governmental entity of competent authority preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has become final and nonappealable. 6.4 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 6.3, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect, provided, however, that no termination of this Agreement will relieve any party of liability for any breaches of this Agreement that are based on a wrongful refusal or failure to perform any obligations. Upon termination of this Agreement, each party will, upon request, destroy all documents, work papers and other materials of the other parties relating to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, whether obtained before or after execution of this Agreement. 6.5 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each of the parties hereto will cooperate with the other and execute and deliver to the other parties hereto such other instruments and documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time by any other party hereto as necessary to carry out, evidence, and confirm the intended purposes of this Agreement. 21 -21- 6.6 EXPENSES. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement will bear its respective expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, counsel, and accountants. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the obligation of each party to pay its own expenses will be subject to any rights of such party arising from a breach of this Agreement by another party. Expenses for the conversion of Vianet EDV Dienstleistungs Ges.m.b.H. into an Austrian Aktiengesellschaft (such as legal, accounting and registration fees and applicable capital contribution tax) and applicable share capital transfer tax will be borne by CYBERNET. 6.7 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Any public announcement or similar publicity with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will be issued, if at all, at such time and in such manner as CYBERNET and the VIANET Stockholders mutually determine. Unless consented to by CYBERNET in advance or required by law, prior to the Closing VIANET Stockholders will keep this Agreement strictly confidential and may not make any disclosure of this Agreement to any person or entity. VIANET Stockholders and CYBERNET will consult with each other concerning the means by which the VIANET's employees, customers, and suppliers and others having dealings with VIANET will be informed of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and CYBERNET will have the right to be present for any such communication. 6.8 CONFIDENTIALITY. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, CYBERNET and the VIANET Stockholders will maintain in confidence, and will cause the directors, officers, employees, agents, and advisors of CYBERNET and VIANET to maintain in confidence, and not use to the detriment of another party or VIANET any written, oral, or other information obtained in confidence from another party or VIANET in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, unless (a) such information is already known to such party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no fault of such party, (b) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any filing or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (c) the furnishing or use of such information is required by legal proceedings. If the Closing is not consummated, each party will return or destroy as much of such written information as the other party may reasonably request. 22 -22- 6.9 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties. 6.10 EXTENSION; WAIVER. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a written instrument and signed by the party granting such extension or waiver. 6.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the Exhibits, Schedules attached hereto and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior arrangements and understandings, both written and oral, expressed or implied, with respect thereto. 6.12 SEVERABILITY. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, will be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it will, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 6.13 NOTICES.
