Section 4 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

4.1 Indemnity of Owners Regarding Guarantee of Facilities Lease. Together with the requirements set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer and certain other organizations affiliated by common ownership with the Buyer are acquiring, by way of sublease or assignment, the leasehold interests of Seller and certain other corporations affiliated by common ownership with the Seller. Such leasehold interests, which include those created by the Facilities Lease, are herein together referred to as the “Occupancy Leases”. Parent is or may be a guarantor or otherwise obligated for the performance by the tenant or lessee named in the Occupancy Leases, which tenant or lessee will include the Buyer or its affiliates from and after the Effective Date, and Parent may not be permitted to modify or cancel its guaranty of the Occupancy Leases in connection with the assignments of the Occupancy Leases. Accordingly, Parent may remain liable on the Occupancy Leases in the event Buyer is unable to perform thereunder as required in the Assignment of Lease (or in any sublease executed in lieu of an Assignment of Lease). In consideration of the transfers contemplated in this Agreement and the assignment (or subletting) of the Occupancy Leases, the Owners agree to and do hereby jointly and severally indemnity and agree to hold Parent harmless of and from any claims made by the landlords named in the

Occupancy Leases based on a breach by Buyer (or any affiliated entity of the Buyer) of any such Occupancy Lease; provided, however, the aggregate liability of the Owners hereunder in respect to all of the aforesaid Occupancy Leases (and without duplication by reason of any similar provision appearing in the agreements executed by Owners relating to the purchases being contemporaneously made by Buyer’s affiliates) shall be and is limited to the aggregate sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) minus Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) for each year (12 months) after the Effective Date; i.e., if no demand has been made upon Parent for payment under any of the Occupancy Leases (or any guaranty or other document executed by Parent in connection therewith) prior to each succeeding annual anniversary of the Effective Date, then the liability of Owners in respect to their indemnity provided for herein shall be reduced by Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) on each such anniversary date.

4.2 Non-Solicitation. Excluding persons employed by Seller in connection with the Business to whom Buyer shall make offers of employment as provided for in Section 3.5(A), Buyer and Seller agree not to solicit, recruit or hire any employees of the other Party, or the other Party’s affiliates, for so long as the Franchise Agreement remains in effect or, if a shorter period of time, for six (6) months following the termination of the employee’s employment with such Party or such Party’s affiliates.

4.3 Regional Services. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, all regional services previously performed at the Leased Premises for Seller’s affiliates in Indianapolis, Indiana and Cleveland, Ohio (the “Regional Services”) shall be transitioned to another affiliate of Seller at Seller’s cost and expense, but with Buyer’s cooperation; provided, however, that Buyer shall ensure that all Regional Services continue to be provided to the named Seller’s affiliates during the entire thirty (30) day period after the Effective Date. For such services, Seller shall only be required to reimburse Buyer for accounting and human resource services (exclusive of any other costs, such as the salary of any Owner) in accordance with the terms of that certain Services and Cost Sharing Agreement dated as of April 30, 1998 by and between, among others, Seller, certain of Seller’s affiliates and New Horizons Education Corporation.

On the Closing Date, Seller agrees to deliver to Buyer all original customer records and files that relate to the purchase and delivery of computer training for the Business, including the files which relate to the Training Obligations. In the event that Seller is audited by any federal, state or local entity following the Effective Date, Buyer shall provide Seller or its designees with reasonable access, during normal business hours, to all original customer files related to the Purchased Assets.

4.5 Insurance. If Seller or Parent or any of their affiliates possess insurance which provides coverage in respect to any claim of loss made after the Effective Date, then such insurance shall be deemed primary coverage for any such loss and Seller, Parent and their affiliates agree to cooperate with the Buyer in filing and prosecuting any claim of loss relating to such matters. For a period of not more than three (3) years following the Effective Date, Buyer agrees to maintain general liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per claim and $1,000,000 in the aggregate; and, upon written request by the Seller, Buyer will provide Seller

with certificates of insurance naming Seller or its affiliated companies as additional insureds in order to ensure that Buyer is able to meet its indemnification obligations hereunder.

4.6 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties agree to use their best efforts to timely satisfy any conditions to Closing provided for herein and to assist each other in doing such things and matters as are required to consummate the transactions provided for herein.

4.7 Announcements; Confidentiality. The Parties (or certain of the Parties or their predecessors) have previously executed a Confidentiality Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. As of the Effective Date, said Confidentiality Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and, instead, the Parties agree as follows:

(A) Confidentiality Agreement.

(B) Buyer (but not any Owner) shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Seller Indemnified Party from and against any cause of action, claim, loss or liability arising out of or resulting in any way from: (w) the negligent acts or omissions of Buyer’s officers, employees, agents or members occurring in connection with the conduct of the Business from and after the Effective Date; (x) any breach of any covenant of Buyer set forth in this Agreement; (y) any debts, claims, liabilities or lawsuits which relate to and are based upon the use or operation of the Business or the Purchased Assets from and after the Effective Date; and (z) the failure of Buyer to fully and adequately pay, perform or observe the requirements of the Assumed Liabilities, including the Training Obligations.

7.2 Indemnity by Seller and Parent. Seller and Parent shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer, Owners, and their respective affiliates, officers, agents, members and employees (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against any cause of action, claim, loss or liability arising out of or resulting in any way from: (i) the negligent acts or omissions of Seller’s officers, employees, agents or partners occurring in connection with the conduct of the Business prior to the Effective Date; (ii) any breach or violation of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5, provided that such indemnification is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 and to the limitations set forth in Section 7.5; (iii) any breach of any covenant of Seller or Parent set forth in this Agreement; (iv) any debts, claims, liabilities or lawsuits which relate to the use or operation of the Business or the Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Date, including the Retained Liabilities, and (v) any failure to obtain the appropriate release or termination of any Liens as contemplated in Section 3.2(G)(1) or any adverse action being taken by any secured party having a claim through or under Seller or Parent in respect to such Liens at any time.

7.3 Necessity of Reliance. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Parties agree and acknowledge that no duty to indemnify shall arise by virtue of:

(B) a breach of Section 7.2(ii) by Seller or Parent if any Owner had Knowledge of the matter which otherwise gave rise to the duty to indemnify.

7.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(A) Notification of Claim.

(2) If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to take over the defense of such Third Party Claim, then: (aa) the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party informed as to the status thereof and promptly provide copies of all pleadings and other filings in the case; (bb) the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to contest, settle or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim on such terms as the Indemnified Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate, provided that the consent of the Indemnifying Party to any settlement or disposition shall be required if (x) it results in any liability to or equitable relief against the Indemnifying Party not fully satisfied by the Indemnified Party, (y) the result would in any way restrict the future activity of the Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates or (z) it would result in the admission or finding of a violation of law or violation of the rights of any person by the Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates; (cc) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate jointly in the defense of such Third Party Claim, but shall do so at its own cost; and

(dd) the Indemnified Party may preserve its rights to indemnification for the recovery of any losses arising from such Third Party Claim or the costs of defending the same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees.

(3) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with each other in the defense of any Third Party Claim.

7.5 Limitations. The indemnifications provided for in this Section 7 are further subject to the following limitations:

(A) The Owners’ liability for breach of any of the Owner Business Representations set forth in Section 6.3, for each of which the Owners are required to indemnify Seller as set forth in Section 7.1(A), shall be limited to the amount of the Cash Payment.

(B) The Parent’s liability for breach of any of the Seller Business Representations set forth in Section 5.6, for each of which the Parent is required to indemnify Buyer as set forth in Section 7.2(ii), shall be limited to the amount of the Cash Payment.
