Indemnitees
”)
harmless against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies,

and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of investigation
(hereinafter individually a “
Loss
”
and

Losses
”)
incurred by Target, its officers, directors or affiliates (including the

Buyer
hereby represents and warrants, and Thomas Scallen hereby represents, that
to
the best of its and his knowledge and belief, there is no known past condition
or set of facts relating to the executive officers and directors of Buyer

will give rise to any claims, demands, obligations, actions or causes of
action,
of any nature whatsoever, which a party may now have, or which may hereafter
accrue or otherwise be acquired, arising out of tort, contract, securities,
or
other theories of liability related to the duties and obligations imposed

Indemnity.

from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
made by

or
Transitory Subsidiary to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are
made, not
misleading.
7.4
Indemnity
Procedure.
Within
15

it
relating to the Target PPM, such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect
thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section
7
,
notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; the omission
to
notify the indemnifying party will relieve it from any liability which
it may
have to any indemnified party under this Section (but not otherwise) if
the
indemnifying party proves that it has been materially prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party,
and
it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may
wish,
jointly with any other indemnifying party, similarly notified, to assume
the
defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and
after
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election
so
to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable
to such
indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
