9.3 Indemnification
Procedures.
(a)
|
In
the event that any legal proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim
or demand ("Claim") shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which
payment may be sought under Section 9.1 hereof, the Indemnified Party
shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any
Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be
forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party
shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by
counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise
deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against
hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against,
negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any
losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within five (5) days (or
sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified
Party of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party elects
not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim
which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify
the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided or contests its
obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Losses under this
Agreement, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or
otherwise deal with such Claim. If the Indemnified Party
defends any Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the
Indemnified Party for the Expenses of defending such Claim upon submission
of periodic bills. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the
defense of any Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at his or its
own expense, in the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that such
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense
with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if, (i) so
requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or
potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable;
and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required
to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in
connection with any Claim. The parties hereto agree to
cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense,
negotiation or settlement of any such
Claim.
|
(b)
|
After
any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court,
arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and
the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement
shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a
Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying
Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant
to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party
shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the
Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within
10 business days after the date of such
notice.
|
(c)
|
The
failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any
Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying
Party's obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result
of such failure.

contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions

Company bear any of such costs and expenses.
11.4 Specific
Performance. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the breach
of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the Purchaser and that the
Purchaser will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the
obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the Sellers' obligation to sell the Shares to the Purchaser, shall be
enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent
jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted
in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative
and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party
may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

agrees to execute and deliver such other documents or agreements and to take
such other action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for the

of any federal or state court located within the State of Oregon over any
dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees
that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding
related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The
parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense
of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each

enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law.

11.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments
and Waivers. This Agreement (including the schedules and
exhibits hereto) represents the entire understanding and agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and can be amended,
supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written
instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party
against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or
waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement,
including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party,
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of
compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained
herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision
of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing
waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent
breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy
by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by
law.

Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in

Agreement shall remain in effect.
11.11 Binding Effect;
Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to
create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to
this Agreement except as provided below. No assignment of this
Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either the
Sellers or the Purchaser (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior
written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without
the required consents shall be void; provided, however, that the Purchaser may
assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including,
without limitation, the Purchaser's rights to purchase the Shares and the
Purchaser's rights to seek indemnification hereunder) to any Affiliate of the
Purchaser. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this
Agreement to the Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the
context otherwise requires.
11.12 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile, each of which when
executed by any party will be deemed to be an original and all of which
counterparts will together constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of
executed copies of this Agreement by telecopier will constitute proper delivery,
