There has been no broker or finder involved in any manner in the negotiations leading up to the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of any transactions contemplated hereby, and Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Company against and hold the Company harmless from any claim made by a party for a broker’s or finder’s fee or other similar payment based upon any agreements, arrangements or understanding made by Purchaser.
4.9 Use of Proceeds; Insufficient Shares.

5.2 Cooperation. The parties shall cooperate with each other fully with respect to actions required or requested to be undertaken with respect to tax audits, administrative actions or proceedings, litigation and any other matters that may occur after the Closing, and each party shall maintain and make available to the other party upon request all corporate, tax and other records required or requested in connection with such matters.
5.3 Publicity. Subject to the Company’s obligation to file SEC Reports, each of the parties hereto agrees that no publicity release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby or the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be issued without the advance approval of the form and substance thereof by Purchaser and, in the case of such release or announcement prior to Closing, by the Company, which approvals in any case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
5.4 Consents. The Company shall obtain all consents and approvals required to maintain the Company’s rights under any current contract or agreements, which approvals or consents are required as a result of the sale of the Shares to Purchaser.
5.5 Corporate Governance. The Company shall amend its governing documents to provide that for so long as the Purchaser owns the Shares, (i) the Board of Directors of the Company shall consist of three (3) individuals, which requirement shall be reflected in the bylaws of the Company delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(v); and no provision of such bylaws regarding the Board of Directors may be amended without the prior written consent of Purchaser and (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to elect a majority of the Board.
5.6 Piggy-back Registration Rights. For so long as Purchaser owns the Shares, if the Company at any time proposes to file a registration statement with respect to any class of its
18
equity securities and included in such registration statement are securities held for the account of one or more holders of securities of the Company, then the Company shall in each case give written notice of the proposed filing to the Purchaser at least 20 business days before the anticipated filing date of the registration statement by the Company, which the Company notice must offer to the Purchaser the opportunity to have any or all of the shares of the Company held by him included in that registration statement, provided such shares are of the same class as those being registered.

If the underwriter for the offering being registered shall determine and advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation in the number of shares that can be sold in the offering then the Company will include in such registration the securities requested to be included pro rata among all shareholders with such rights on the basis of the number of shares requested to be included by such holder. The Company’s obligations under this Section shall terminate immediately once the Purchaser has the ability to sell its shares under Rule 144 without regard to volume limitations.
ARTICLE VI
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
6.1 Survival of Covenants, Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive and remain in effect following the Closing for one year.
6.2 Indemnity Against Claims.
(a) The Company except as provided in subsections (d) and (e) below, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser (the “Indemnified Party”), harmless from and against the following:
(i) Any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and reasonable expenses suffered by the Indemnified Party (whether awarded against the Indemnified Party or paid by the Indemnified Party in settlement of a claim as provided in Section 6.3 or otherwise suffered), resulting from any misrepresentation, breach of any
19
warranty, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement or in any written statement, attachment, schedule, exhibit or certificate furnished or to be furnished by the Company to Purchaser pursuant hereto; and
(ii) Any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments or judgments, costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incident to any of the foregoing.
(b) The Purchaser except as provided in subsections (d) and (e) below, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Company, its officers, directors and affiliates (in the context of this Section 6.2(b), collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against the following:
(i) Any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and reasonable expenses suffered by the Indemnified Parties (whether awarded against the Indemnified Parties or paid by the Indemnified Parties in settlement of a claim as provided in Section 6.3 or otherwise suffered), resulting from any misrepresentation, breach of any warranty, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any written statement, attachment, schedule, exhibit or certificate furnished or to be furnished by Purchaser to the Company pursuant hereto; and
(ii) Any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments or judgments, costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incident to any of the foregoing.
(c) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek indemnification with respect to any individual loss unless such loss exceeds $5,000, and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek indemnification with respect to any individual loss in excess of $10,000 until all such losses exceed, in the aggregate, $15,000.
(d) No party shall be liable hereunder for any sums in excess of $1,500,000, provided, however, that intellectual property claims shall not be included in this limitation on liability.
(e) No indemnification shall be made for any claims which are unenforceable or barred by any statute or rule of limitation.
20
(f) The amount of any loss subject to indemnification hereunder shall be calculated net of any amounts which have been previously recovered by the Indemnified Parties under insurance policies or other collateral sources, and the Indemnified Parties hereby covenant that they will not release any such collateral sources from any obligations they may have. In the event any such insurance proceeds or other payments are not received before any claim for indemnification is paid pursuant to this Agreement, then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exclusively pursue such collateral sources, provided they do so with reasonable diligence, and in the event they receive any recovery, then the amount of such recovery shall be applied first to reimburse the Indemnified Party for their out of pocket expenses expended in pursuing such recovery, second to refund any payment made which would not have been so paid had such recovery from the collateral source been obtained prior to such payment, and third, any excess to the Indemnified Parties.
6.3 Notice of Claim, Assumption of Defense and Settlement of Claims.
(a) Any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly give notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) in accordance with Section 7.1 hereof to the parties required to provide indemnification (collectively the “Indemnifying Party”) after the Indemnitee shall have knowledge of any demands, claims, actions or causes of action (singly, a “Claim” and hereinafter referred to collectively as “Claims”) which might give rise to a Claim by the Indemnitee against the Indemnifying Party stating the nature and basis of said Claim and amount thereof, to the extent known. A failure to give notice hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless such failure to give notice shall materially and adversely affect Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend the Claim. Each such Indemnification Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of the Claim and shall, to the extent available to the Indemnitee, include such supporting documentation as shall reasonably be necessary to apprise the Indemnifying Party of the facts giving rise to the Claim. After the delivery of an Indemnification Notice certifying that the Indemnitee has incurred or had asserted against it any liabilities, claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses for which indemnity may be sought in accordance with the terms of this Article VI (the “Damages”), the Indemnitee shall make a claim in an amount equal to the incurred Damages or asserted Damages, as the case may be (which, in the case of any asserted Damages shall include the Indemnitee’s reasonably estimated cost of the defense
21
thereof, hereinafter the “Estimated Defense Costs”). The right to indemnification hereof and the amount or estimated amount thereof, as set forth in such notice, shall be deemed agreed to by each Indemnifying Party unless, within 30 days after the date of such notice (the expiration of such 30-day period being hereinafter referred to as the “Liability Notice Deadline Date”), the Indemnified Parties are notified in writing pursuant to Section 7.1 that such Indemnifying Party disputes the right to indemnification as set forth or estimated in such notice or that he or she elects to defend, in the manner hereinafter provided, the claim of a third party giving rise to such indemnification right. If such Indemnifying Party disputes the right to indemnification as hereinabove provided or elects to defend the claim of the third party, the same shall be deemed determined when finally determined by a court or tribunal from which no appeal is or may be taken or when the defense thereto has been abandoned and if a court or tribunal from which no appeal is or may be taken determines that the Indemnified Party was entitled to indemnification then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount of Damages sought by such Indemnified Party as well as an additional an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of Damages. In the event the amount of such Damages are not promptly reimbursed by Indemnifying Party as aforesaid, the amount of such unreimbursed Damages shall accrue interest from the Liability Notice Deadline Date at a rate equal to two percent (2%) above the applicable prime rate of Citibank, N.A.
(b) With respect to any third party Claims made subsequent to the Closing, the following procedures shall be observed:
(i) Promptly after delivery of an Indemnification Notice in respect of a Claim, the Indemnified Party may elect, by written notice to the Indemnitee, to undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such Claim, it shall not, except as provided in Section 6.3(b)(ii), be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee after the date thereof, in connection with such defense. The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in, but not control the conduct of, any such action through counsel of its own choosing, at its own expense.
(ii) Unless and until the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the third party Claim as provided in Section 6.3(b)(i), or in the event the Indemnifying Party
22
ceases to conduct such defense, the Indemnified Party may defend against the third party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.
(iii) Failure by the Indemnifying Party to notify the Indemnitee of its election to defend any such action by the Liability Notice Deadline Date shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such action. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Claim, its obligations hereunder as to such Claim shall be limited to taking all steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such Claim and to holding the Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses and liabilities awarded in any such proceeding or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment in connection with such Claim.
(iv) The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of any such Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the third party Claim without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except that no consent of the Indemnitee shall be required if the judgment or proposed settlement (i) involves only the payment of money damages to be paid by the Indemnifying Party and does not impose any injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnitee, (ii) includes as an unconditional term thereof a full dismissal of the litigation or proceeding with prejudice and the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation, and (iii) does not by its terms attribute liability to the Indemnitee.
(c) In no event will the Indemnitee consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the third party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(d) The Indemnitee will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of any proceeding as to which the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense hereunder. Such cooperation shall include (i) providing the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to all books and records of the Indemnitee to the extent reasonably related to such proceeding, (ii) furnishing information about the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party and their counsel,
23
(iii) making employees available to counsel to the Indemnifying Party, and (iv) preserving the existence of and maintaining all books and records of the Indemnitee or any other Indemnified Party that is an entity that may reasonably be deemed to be potentially relevant to any such proceeding until the proceeding is finally concluded.
6.4 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided to an Indemnified Party herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude an Indemnified Party from asserting any other rights or seeking any other remedies against an Indemnifying Party or his or its respective heirs, successors or assigns. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
