then
the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof
in
writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified
Party
in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party
from
any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying
Party thereby is prejudiced.
(ii) Any
Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against
the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory
to the
Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified

that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against
the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder,

the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an
injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment

of the
Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice
adverse
to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the
Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively
and
diligently.
16
(iii) So
long

periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including
attorneys' fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Parties will remain
responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused
by the
Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section
13.
(v) Other
Indemnification Provisions.
The
Seller hereby indemnifies the Company against any and all claims that may
be
filed by a current or former officer, director or employee of the Seller
by
reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee, or
agent
of the Company or was serving the Company at the request of the Seller or
the

entity, whether such claim is for accrued salary, compensation, indemnification,

occurrence.
(k) Severability.
Any
term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any

(l) Expenses.
Each of
the Parties and the Company will bear his or its own costs and expenses
(including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Sellers agree that the Company
has
not borne or will not bear any of the Sellers’ costs and expenses (including any
of their legal fees and expenses) in connection with this Agreement or any

the transactions contemplated hereby.
However,
Purchaser shall be solely responsible, and shall pay, all legal fees in
connection with the Escrow and Escrow Agent, but the Purchaser Representative
and Seller Representative shall each pay 50% of the costs and expenses of
the
escrow, as provided in the Escrow Agreement.
(m) Construction.
The
Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this
Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties
and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring
any
Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Any reference to any federal, state or local statute or law shall be deemed
also
to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the
context
requires otherwise. The word “including” shall mean including without
limitation. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant
contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached
any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect,
the
fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating
to
the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity)
which
the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that
the
Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. Nothing
in the disclosure Schedules attached hereto shall be deemed adequate to disclose
an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, however, unless
the
disclosure Schedules identifies the exception with particularity and describes
the relevant facts in detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item in
the
disclosure Schedules or supplied in connection with the Purchasers’ due
diligence review, shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to
a
representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty
has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself).
(n) Incorporation
of Exhibits and Schedules.
The
Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein
by
reference and made a part hereof.
(o) Specific
Performance.

to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of
this
Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and
provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States
or
