opportunity to ask questions of ICS and have received what the Purchaser
believes to be satisfactory answers to any such inquiries. Although neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by the Purchaser
or its counsel or any of its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the
Purchaser's right to rely on the Company's representations and warranties
contained hererin. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that he has conducted
its own due diligence investigation of ICS. The Purchaser understands that its

Purchaser is not relying on the Seller or ICS or any of its employees or agents
with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an
investment in the Shares, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has
consulted with, only its own advisors. The Purchaser has significant prior
investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered
securities. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its
entire investment in the ICS in the event such a loss should occur. The
Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable
is not excessive in view of its net worth and financial circumstances and the
purchase of the Shares will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The
investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser.

against, and to protect, save and keep harmless the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties from, and to pay on behalf of or reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified
Parties as and when incurred for, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,

SECTION 8.4 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES.
8.4.1 Non-Third-Party Claims. In the event that any Person entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") asserts a claim
for indemnification which does not involve a Third Party Claim (as defined in
Section 8.4.2), against which a Person is required to provide indemnification
under this Agreement (an "INDEMNIFYING PARTY"), the Indemnifying Party may
acknowledge and agree by notice to the Indemnified Party in writing to satisfy
such claim within 30 days of receipt of notice of such claim from the
Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim,
the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of such dispute to the
Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of written notice of such claim,
setting forth a reasonable basis of such dispute. In the event that the
Indemnifying Party shall fail to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party
within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party that the
Indemnifying Party either acknowledges and agrees to pay such claim or disputes
such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged and
agreed to pay such claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute such
claim. Once the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged and agreed to pay any claim
pursuant to this Section 8.4.1, or once any dispute under this Section 8.4.1 has
been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a court or other tribunal
of competent jurisdiction, subject to the provisions of Section 8.6.1, the
Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such claim to the Indemnified Party
within 10 days of the date of acknowledgement or resolution, as the case may be,
to such account and in such manner as is designated in writing by the
Indemnified Party.
8.4.2 Third-Party Claims. (a) In the event that any Indemnified Party
asserts a claim for indemnification or receives notice of the assertion of any
claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person who is
not a party to this Agreement or an affiliate of a party to this Agreement (a
"THIRD PARTY CLAIM") against an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall
give written notice to the Indemnifying Party (the "CLAIMS NOTICE") within 20
days after learning of such claim (or within such shorter time as may be
necessary to give the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to
such claim), together with a statement specifying the basis of such Third Party
Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the
Indemnified Party (the "DEFENSE NOTICE") within 20 days after receipt from the
Indemnified Party of the Claims Notice, which Defense Notice shall specify the
counsel it will appoint to defend such claim ("DEFENSE COUNSEL"), to conduct at
its expense the defense against such Third Party Claim in its own name, or if
necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the Defense Counsel, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party within such 20 day period
fails to give the Defense Notice, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
conduct the defense and to compromise and settle such Third Party Claim without
prior consent of the Indemnifying Party and subject to the provisions of Section
8.6.1, the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs, expenses,
settlement amounts or other Losses paid or incurred in connection
9
10
therewith.
(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim for
indemnification against it, such Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified
Party to such effect within 20 days after receipt of the Claims Notice (or
within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnified Party a
reasonable opportunity to respond to such Third Party Claim). In such event the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense and to compromise
and settle such Third Party Claim, with the prior consent of the Indemnifying
Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and, once
such dispute has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a court or
other tribunal of competent jurisdiction or by mutual agreement of the
Indemnified and Indemnifying Party, subject to the provisions of Section 8.6.1,
the Indemnifying Party shall within 10 days of the date of such resolution or
agreement, pay to the Indemnified Party all reasonable costs, expenses,
settlement amounts or other Losses paid or incurred by the Indemnified Party in
connection with such Third Party Claim.
(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver a Defense
Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have the exclusive control over the
defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in
good faith with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and
materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate
in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnifying Party
will not settle the Third Party Claim or cease to defend against any Third Party
Claim as to which it has delivered a Defense Notice, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, however, such consent may be withheld for any
reason if, as a result of such settlement or cessation of defense, (i)
injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the
Indemnified Party, or (ii) such settlement or cessation would lead to liability
or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party
for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(e) If an Indemnified Party refuses to consent to a bona fide offer of
settlement which provides for a full release of the Indemnified Party and its
affiliates relating to the claims underlying the offer of settlement and solely
for a monetary payment which the Indemnifying Party wishes to accept, the
Indemnified Party may continue to pursue such matter, free of any participation
by the Indemnifying Party, at the sole expense of the Indemnified Party. In such
an event, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall be limited to the
amount of the offer of settlement which the Indemnified Party refused to accept
plus the reasonable costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred prior
to the date the Indemnifying Party notified the Indemnified Party of the offer
of settlement.
(f) Notwithstanding clause (c) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not
be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall
be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any Third
Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or
permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, (ii)
to the extent such claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified
Party or
10
11
(iii) if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the
Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder. In such an event, the Indemnifying Party will still
have all of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, the Indemnified Party
will not settle the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(g) A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or
accurate notice as provided in this Section 8.4 will not affect the rights or
obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a
result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was deprived
of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or
was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure to
give timely notice.
SECTION 8.5 LIMITATIONS ON AND OTHER MATTERS REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION.
8.5.1 Indemnity Cushion and Cap. Subject to Section 8.5.5, the Seller
shall not have any liability to any Purchaser Indemnified Party with respect to

Seller shall be liable for all Losses in excess of such amount). Notwithstanding

liability of the Seller for indemnity payments under Sections 8.2 shall be equal
to the principal amount of the Note.

obligation of the Seller to indemnify under Section 8.2 hereof shall terminate

resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied.
8.5.3 Termination of Indemnification Obligations of the Purchaser. The
obligation of the Purchaser to indemnify under Section 8.3 hereof shall
terminate on July 31, 2003 except as to matters as to which the Seller has made

indemnification with respect thereto shall survive such period until such claim
for indemnification is resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are
fully satisfied and except to any Major Liability, which shall continue to
survive..
