covenants contained herein and, if there is an applicable survival period
pursuant to Section 6(a) above, provided that the Buyer makes a written claim
for indemnification against the Seller pursuant to Section 7(g) below within
such survival period, then the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer from and
against any Adverse Consequences the Buyer shall suffer through and after the
date of the claim for indemnification caused proximately by the breach. To the

covenants contained herein, and, if there is an applicable survival period
pursuant to Section 6(a) above, provided that the Seller makes a written claim

"Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third Party Claim")
which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other
Party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this Section 6, then the

days after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim) notify each
Indemnifying Party thereof in writing.
(ii) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume and
thereafter conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of
his or its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party;

entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of
Stock Purchase Agreement/Page 8
13
the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably) unless the
judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money
damages and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon
the Indemnified Party.
(iii) Unless and until an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense
of the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 6(d)(ii) above, however,
the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any
manner it reasonably may deem appropriate.

of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third
Party Claim without the prior written consent of each of the
Indemnifying Parties (not to be withheld unreasonably).

make appropriate adjustments for tax benefits and insurance coverage in
determining Adverse Consequences for purposes of this Section 6. All
indemnification payments under this Section 6 shall be deemed adjustments to

provisions in this Section 6 are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any
statutory, equitable, or common law remedy any Party may have for breach of
representation, warranty, or covenant; provided, however, that the Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing indemnification provisions in this
Section 6 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Buyer for any breach of the
representations and warranties in Section 4 above provided further, however,

and remedies under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act.

issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject
matter of this Agreement prior to the Closing without the prior written
approval of the Buyer and the Seller; provided, however, that any Party may

law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded
securities (in which case the disclosing Party will use its reasonable efforts
