current reports of Form 8-K, including amendments thereto, as filed with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from and after
October 31, 2004 through and up to the Closing (collectively, the “SEC

Malex was required to file with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange

Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act, as the case may require, and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder and none of the SEC Documents contained
an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
As

date of Closing, except as set forth in the disclosure schedule attached hereto,
none of Malex’s filings with the SEC are under review or are the subject of
issued comments under letters from the SEC which have not been successfully

all consolidated financial statements of Malex included in the SEC Documents
filed between October 31, 2007 and March 14, 2007, comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(except, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by the applicable
form under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act) applied on a consistent

thereto) and fairly present the financial position of Malex as of the dates
thereof and its consolidated statements of operations, Stockholders’ equity and
cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal and recurring year-end audit adjustments which were and
are not expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Malex, its business,
financial condition or results of operations). Except as and to the extent
set
forth on the consolidated balance sheet of Malex as of December 31, 2006,
including the notes thereto, Malex has no liability or obligation of any nature
(whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise and whether required to
be
reflected on a balance sheet or not).

prior to the filing date of the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended July 31,
2007
(such date, the “Evaluation

and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order

5.1 Malex
Stockholder Indemnification.
For a
period of one year after the Closing, the Malex Stockholder (“Indemnifying
Party”) agrees to indemnify Fulland, the Fulland Stockholders and each of the
officers, agents and directors of Fulland or the Fulland Stockholders (each
an
“Indemnified Party”) against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
(including, but not limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) (each, a “Claim”) to which it
or they may become subject arising out of or based on either (i) any breach of
or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties or covenants or
conditions made by Malex and/or the Malex Stockholder herein in this Agreement;
or (ii) any and all liabilities arising out of or in connection with: (A) any
of
the assets of Malex prior to the Closing; or (B) the operations of Malex prior
to the Closing (the “Malex Stockholders Indemnification”). During the period of

while such Claim is unresolved, Fulland shall have the right to issue stop
transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the Malex Shares
held by the Indemnifying Party.

5.2 Indemnification
Procedures.
If any
action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnified Party
shall
promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and the Indemnifying Party
shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own
choosing. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party
except to the extent that the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, the Indemnifying Party has
failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ
counsel or in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate
counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of
the
Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying
Party will not be liable to any Indemnified Party under this Article 5 for
any
settlement by an Indemnified Party effected without the Indemnifying Party’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
or
to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability
is
attributable to any Indemnified Party’s indemnification pursuant to this Article
5.
