(iii)          all Liabilities (contingent or otherwise and including Liability for response costs, personal injury, property damage, natural resource damage or violation of Environmental, Health and Safety Laws), other than the Excluded Liabilities, that arise out of events involving the Business, Purchased Assets or Products (or any resulting business or products therefrom), or any of them, that occur after the Closing; and

(c)          All indemnification payments made under this Article VII shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
 
(d)          For purposes of this Article VII, if a representation or warranty that is qualified by any of the terms “substantially” “material,” “in all material respects,” and “Material Adverse Change” is inaccurate or breached as so written, the amount of Losses arising from or in connection with that inaccuracy or breach shall be determined without regard to any such qualification.
 
Section 7.2          Assertion of Claims.
 
No claim shall be brought under Section 7.1 unless the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, at any time before the applicable Survival Date, give the Indemnifying Persons (a) a Third Person Claim Notice under Section 7.3 or (b) written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of the existence of a direct claim in reasonable detail, specifying the nature and basis of that claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. Once the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, have given that written notice before the applicable Survival Date, the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, shall have the right to commence legal proceedings subsequent to the Survival Date for the enforcement of their rights under Section 7.1.
 
Section 7.3          Notice and Defense of Third Person Claims.
 
The obligations and liabilities of an Indemnifying Person with respect to Losses resulting from an assertion of liability by third Persons that might give rise to a claim under Section 7.1 (each, a “Third Person Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
 
(a)          The Indemnified Persons shall promptly give written notice (a “Third Person Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Persons of any Third Person Claim that might give rise to any Losses for the Indemnified Persons, stating the nature and basis of that Third Person Claim, and the amount thereof to the extent known, but no delay on the part of the Indemnified Persons in notifying any Indemnifying Persons shall relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any liability or obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Person is prejudiced by the delay.  The Third Person Claim Notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to that Third Person Claim, including any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any other related document or instrument.
 
(b)          If the Indemnifying Persons acknowledge in a writing delivered to the Indemnified Persons that the Indemnifying Persons shall be obligated under the terms of their indemnification obligations hereunder in connection with that Third Person Claim, then the Indemnifying Persons shall have the right to assume the defense of that Third Person Claim at their own expense and by their own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons; except, that the Indemnifying Persons shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Person Claim, notwithstanding the giving of that written acknowledgement, if (i) counsel to the Indemnified Persons reasonably determines (A) that counsel for the Indemnifying Persons could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Persons because those interests are in conflict with those of the Indemnifying Persons or (B) the Indemnifying Persons do not assume the defense of the Third Person Claim within a reasonable time, not to exceed 20 Business Days, after the Indemnified Persons delivered the Third Person Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Persons.
 
41


(c)          If the Indemnifying Persons assume the defense of a Third Person Claim (under circumstances in which the exception in Section 7.3(b) is not applicable), the Indemnifying Persons shall not be responsible for any legal or other defense costs subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the defense of that Third Person Claim, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3(c).  If the Indemnifying Persons do not exercise their right to assume the defense of a Third Person Claim by giving the written acknowledgement referred to in Section 7.3(b), or are otherwise restricted from so assuming by the exception to Section 7.3(b), the Indemnifying Persons shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in the defense with their own counsel and at their own expense; and in any such case, the Indemnified Persons shall assume the defense of the Third Person Claim, with counsel which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Persons, and shall act reasonably and in accordance with their good faith business judgment and shall not settle the Third Person Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Persons, which the Indemnifying Persons shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay.  The Indemnified Persons shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Persons and as reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Persons, cooperate with the Indemnifying Persons in the defense of any Third Person Claim and provide information related to the defense of that Third Person Claim.
 
(d)          If the Indemnifying Persons exercise their right to assume the defense of a Third Person Claim, they shall not make any settlement of any claims without the written consent of the Indemnified Persons, which the Indemnified Persons shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay; but if the Indemnifying Persons propose the settlement of any claim that is capable of settlement by the payment of money only and demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Persons their ability to pay that amount, and the Indemnified Persons do not consent to the proposed settlement within 10 Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof, any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Persons in excess of that proposed settlement shall be at the sole expense of the Indemnified Persons.
 
(e)          Waveform shall act on behalf of the Seller Indemnifying Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons, and shall have the power to bind the Seller Indemnifying Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons, with respect to all matters related to this Article VII notwithstanding any contrary notice received by Buyer.
 
Section 7.4          Survival of Representations and Warranties.
 
The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or delivered in connection with this Agreement shall survive for 12 months from the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties set out in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.9(a), 3.20 and 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.  The covenants and other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date unless and until they terminate by their own terms.  The date upon which any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein terminates, if any, is called the “Survival Date.”

(ii)          Maximum Amount of Indemnification.  Except in the case of Fraud, the sum of all Buyer Losses for which indemnification is payable by the Seller Indemnifying Persons under this Article VII shall not exceed the Escrow Amount (the “Cap”); provided, however, with respect to (A) breaches of Fundamental Representations and (B) claims for Excluded Liabilities, the sum of all Buyer Losses for which indemnification is payable by the Seller Indemnifying Persons with respect to clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 7.5(a)(ii) shall not exceed the total amount available pursuant to the setoff under Section 7.6.
 
(iii)          First Recourse to Escrow Fund. Buyer shall not have recourse to setoff under Section 7.6 to recover Losses for indemnification claims under this Article VII unless and until the Escrow Fund has been exhausted or has been distributed.
 
(b)          Limitations on Indemnification by Buyer Indemnifying Persons.
 
(i)          Threshold for Indemnification.  Except (A) in the case of Fraud and (B) with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations, the Seller Indemnified Persons shall not have the right to be indemnified under Section 7.1(b)(i) unless and until the Seller Indemnified Persons (or any of them) shall have incurred on a cumulative basis aggregate Seller Losses in an amount exceeding the Threshold, in which event the Seller Indemnified Persons’ right to be indemnified shall apply from the first dollar.
 
(ii)          Maximum Amount of Indemnification.  Except in the case of Fraud or for a claim for payment of the Contingent Consideration, the sum of all Seller Losses for which indemnification is payable by the Buyer Indemnifying Persons under this Article VII shall not exceed the Cap; provided, however, with respect to (A) breaches of Fundamental Representations and (B) claims for Assumed Liabilities, the sum of all Seller Losses for which indemnification is payable by the Buyer Indemnifying Parties with respect to clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 7.5(b)(ii) shall not exceed an amount equal to the Contingent Consideration.
 
(c)          IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANOTHER PARTY HERETO FOR PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR MULTIPLIERS OF DIRECT DAMAGES, EXCEPT, IN EACH CASE, IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD AND TO THE EXTENT THAT AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS REQUIRED TO PAY THOSE DAMAGES TO A THIRD PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH A MATTER FOR WHICH THAT INDEMNIFIED PERSON IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS ARTICLE VII.

43

 
(d)          Insurance and Supplier Claims; Reimbursement.  The Indemnified Persons shall reimburse the Indemnifying Persons, without interest, for Losses claimed by the Indemnified Persons and paid by the Indemnifying Persons to the Indemnified Persons under this Agreement to the extent that a third Person, such as an insurer, subsequently pays the Indemnified Persons for the same Losses, net of any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, in connection with collecting any such amounts.
 
Section 7.6          Setoff Permitted.
 
Without prejudice to any other right or remedy any Buyer Indemnified Person has or may have in accordance with this Article VII, but subject to the Cap to the extent applicable, Buyer may set off or recoup all or a portion of any amount of any Indemnification Claim of a Buyer Indemnified Person against any Contingent Consideration that is payable to Perceptive under the terms of this Agreement.

Except in the case of Fraud and remedies to which Buyer may be entitled under Section 5.6(c), the rights and remedies provided for in this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive rights and remedies of the Indemnified Persons with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement, or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or arising under or in connection with this Agreement; except, that before the Closing Buyer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of this Agreement (without posting a bond or other security) in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, including claims for Losses under this Article VII.
 
Section 7.8          Effect of Investigation.

Buyer may satisfy its obligations under the immediately preceding sentence by maintaining electronic copies of those books and records, even if those books and records originally were in tangible form.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a certain action or condition constitutes a default under a certain covenant, the fact that that action or condition is permitted by another covenant shall not affect the occurrence of that default, unless expressly permitted under an exception to the initial covenant.  In addition, all representations and warranties hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached shall not affect the incorrectness of or a breach of the initial representation and warranty hereunder.
 
Section 11.11          Severability.
 
The parties hereto want the provisions of this Agreement to be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  Accordingly, if any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, that provision, as to that jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if that provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in that jurisdiction, it shall, as to that jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.
