This Article provides an overview of the different parts of the indemnification section in an Acquisition purchase agreement (“Indemnification Section”), specifically (1) What is Indemnification?; (2) Procedures; (3) What “Claims” Does Indemnification Cover?; (4) Time Period for Indemnification; (5) Caps, Deductibles, and Baskets; and (6) Materiality Scrapes. Practice pointers or general trends related to these areas are also discussed, including buyer and seller friendly terms. We will begin with indemnification definitions and procedures.
