Each Transferor hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold Assignee and its direct and indirect members, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees, trustees, affiliates and agents harmless of and from all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which they may suffer or incur by reason of any breach of such Transferor’s representations, warranties or obligations contained in this Agreement and any exhibit or attachment to this Agreement.

16. Injunctions. Each party hereto agrees that irreparable damage would occur to the other party in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that either non-breaching party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by such other breaching party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any federal or state court (as to which the parties agree to submit to jurisdiction for the purposes of such action), this being in addition to any other remedy to which the non-breaching party is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity.

20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is for any reason held to any extent to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business, and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision and to execute any amendment, consent, or agreement deemed necessary or desirable by Assignee to effect such replacement.

21. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally or by facsimile transmission or mailed (first class postage prepaid) to the parties at the following addresses or facsimile numbers:

Any party from time to time may change its address, facsimile number or other information for the purpose of notices to that party by giving notice specifying such change to the other parties hereto in accordance with this Section.

22. Weekends, Holidays, Etc. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided for under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which Closing must be held, expires on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday, or official federal or a state holiday for the States of Arizona or New York, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next business day.

23. Further Assurances. From time to time, at either party’s request, whether on or after Closing, and without further consideration, the other party shall execute and deliver any further instruments of conveyance and take such other actions as the requesting party may reasonably require to complete more effectively the transfer of the Ash Ownership Interests to Assignee.

Any demand for payment hereunder shall be accompanied by an invoice for services listing each item of service provided and the charge for that item of service. In no event shall FEA be liable for more than $25,000 under this Section. The payment obligation under this Section shall not apply to or limit any attorneys fees for which FEA is already obligated to make payment under another provision of this Agreement; it not being the parties’ intent that Transferors receive reimbursement of double attorneys’ fees.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the date first written above.
