(a)          Notwithstanding any actual or constructive knowledge of Buyer, Sellers agree to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against the full amount of Losses arising out of any breach of Section 4.09 (Taxes). The specific indemnification obligations of Sellers under this Section 7.02 shall terminate and expire on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b)          If at any time after the date hereof, the competent Governmental Authority determines that Buyer should have withheld any Taxes on capital gains with respect to the sale of the Shares, and as a result assesses Buyer for any such Taxes, then Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer for all of such amounts.

(c)           In connection with the indemnification obligation of Sellers pursuant to Sections 7.02(a) and 7.02(b) , upon receipt of any written notice by Buyer (for purposes of this Section 7.02(c) and Section 7.02(d) , the reference to “Buyer” shall be deemed to be a reference to Buyer or the Company, as the case may be) from the applicable Governmental Authority regarding any inquiries or investigation with respect to (A) Taxes and (B) withholding Taxes for capital gains relating to the sale of the Shares (even if such notice does not include an assessment of such Taxes), Buyer shall promptly forward such written notice or notices to Sellers, whereupon Sellers shall immediately be entitled to assume the defense of such matter and begin controlling the defense of such matter specified in such notice with counsel chosen by Sellers. Buyer shall (i) issue and deliver a notarized power of attorney or otherwise take all actions or measures necessary to authorize Sellers to appeal, defend, negotiate and settle any such defense on behalf of Buyer; and (ii) cooperate with Sellers and take all necessary actions as may be reasonably requested by Sellers for the defense of such matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, upon written notice from Buyer to Sellers that Buyer has received a written notice from the relevant Governmental Authority regarding the assessment of Taxes or withholding Taxes for capital gains with respect to the sale of the Shares (a copy of which written notice shall be promptly forwarded to Sellers), Sellers shall promptly take all actions necessary with respect to the applicable Governmental Authority’s assessment notification so that Buyer shall have no liability with respect to any such Taxes owed by Sellers, including the payment of any such Taxes assessed by the applicable Governmental Authority within the relevant due date.

(d)          In any event, Sellers shall not be liable to indemnify Buyer for any Losses if and to the extent that any direct or indirect tax or other financial benefit is realized or is reasonably expected to be realized as a result of such Losses by Buyer.

Section 7.03.          Tower Guaranty . Sellers shall procure and deliver the irrevocable and unconditional guaranty issued by Tower International Inc. on behalf of Sellers, to secure the indemnification obligations of Sellers under Section 7.02 hereof.
