Section 9.2. Purchaser’s Indemnification Obligation.  Purchaser agrees that, from and after the Closing, it shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company, its officers, directors, Affiliates, partners, members, managers, employees, agents and other representatives (“Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Liabilities incurred by any of the foregoing Persons arising out of (a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Article 3 of this Agreement, or (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

(a) The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party may undertake the defense of that claim by representatives chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided, that, in such event, the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in such defense through counsel of its own choice and at its own expense.  Any such notice of a Third Party Claim shall identify with reasonable specificity the basis for the Third Party Claim, the facts giving rise to the Third Party Claim and the amount of the Third Party Claim (or, if such amount is not yet known, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Third Party Claim).  The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of all relevant documents and records in its possession.  Failure of an Indemnified Party to give prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify, except to the extent that the failure to so notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim against a third party.
