FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement") is made and entered into as of June 6, 1997 by and among Virtual
Mortgage Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Buyer"), Xxxxxx Mortgage
Corporation, a California corporation (the "Company"), and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, an
individual and the sole stockholder of the Company ("Stockholder"), and
evidences that, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
1.1 Sale and Delivery. On the terms and subject to the conditions
-----------------
set forth in this Agreement, Stockholder agrees to sell and deliver to Buyer,
and Buyer agrees to purchase and accept from Stockholder, on and as of the
Closing Date (as defined in Section 3.1 hereof) for the Total Purchase Price
described in Section 1.2 hereof, all of the outstanding shares (692,000 shares)
of Common Stock, par value $.4259 per share, of the Company ("Company Common
Stock"). The shares of Company Common Stock to be sold and purchased pursuant
to this Agreement are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Shares"
and Buyer's purchase of the Shares is sometimes referred to herein as the
"Acquisition."
1.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer
--------------
to Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement (the "Total Purchase Price") shall
consist of:
(a) The number of whole shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per
share, of Buyer which has a value (based upon the per share price to the public
of Buyer's Common Stock as set forth in the final prospectus (the "Closing Fair
Market Value") of Buyer used in connection with the initial public offering (the
"Offering") of Buyer's Common Stock) most closely approximating $971,152 (the
"Target Value of the VMN Common Stock") subject to downward adjustment in
accordance with Section 1.3(b) (the "VMN Common Stock") (which shares shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 12.3 hereof); and
(b) An aggregate cash payment to Stockholder of $4 million, subject to
downward adjustment in accordance with Sections 1.3 and 2.2 hereof (the "Cash
Payment"), $2.5 million of such Cash Payment (subject to downward adjustment in
accordance with Sections 1.3 and 2.2 hereof) shall be due and payable at the
closing of the Acquisition (the "Closing") which is expected to occur
substantially concurrent with the closing of the Offering
and $1.5 million of such Cash Payment shall be pledged as collateral pursuant to
Sections 12.2, 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3 hereof.
1.3 Certain Other Payments.
----------------------
(a) Upon the delivery of the disclosure schedules of the Company and
Stockholder contemplated by Articles V and VI of this Agreement (the "Disclosure
Schedules Delivery Date"), Buyer shall make a payment in the amount of $100,000
to the Company to defray certain of the Company's costs relating to the
Acquisition. This payment shall be non-refundable except in the case of fraud
perpetrated on Buyer by the Company or Stockholder, in which case the $100,000
shall be refunded promptly by the Company to Buyer. Buyer also shall pay to
Stockholder a $50,000 deposit upon the Disclosure Schedules Delivery Date. If
the Acquisition closes, the $50,000 deposit will reduce the amount of the Cash
Payment due at Closing on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If the Acquisition does
not close for any reason not attributable to the Company or Stockholder, the
$50,000 deposit shall be non-refundable, except as set forth below. If the
Acquisition fails to close for any reason attributable to the Company or
Stockholder, Stockholder shall refund promptly the $50,000 deposit to Buyer.
The $50,000 deposit also shall be refunded promptly upon any termination of this
Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section 13.1(e). If the Acquisition does not
close for any reason attributable to Buyer (other than a termination pursuant to
Section 13.1(e)), Buyer shall pay to Stockholder within five business days of
the termination of this Agreement a break-up fee equal to $50,000 (the "Break-up
Fee"), and the receipt of the Break-up Fee shall be the Company's and
Stockholder's sole remedy under any legal theory whatsoever against Buyer and
its officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and other representatives
in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.
(b) The Company, Stockholder and Buyer hereby agree that (i) pending
the Closing of the Acquisition, it is anticipated that the Company may have
negative cash flow from its operations and be in need of additional working
capital and (ii) on August 1, 1997 and on the first day of each month thereafter
until the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, the Company and
Buyer shall confer as to the cash and working capital positions of the Company
and, to the extent the Company deems it reasonably necessary to the working
capital position of the Company and to fund any negative cash flow from the
operations of the Company, Buyer shall pay to the Company up to $50,000 within
two business days of receipt of the Company's written request for any such
payment. Any and all such payments shall be nonrefundable except in the case of
fraud perpetrated on Buyer by the Company or Stockholder and shall not be
applied to reduce the Cash Payment due at Closing. In addition, the Company,
Stockholder and Buyer agree that (i) a decrease in the Stand-Alone Book Value of
the Company at May 31, 1997 (as defined in
2
Section 2.2 of this Agreement) at the time of Closing as a result of operating
losses of the Company shall not be deemed to constitute a "material and adverse
effect" on the Company for purposes of Section 11.1(l) or Section 5.20(viii) of
this Agreement and (ii) any decrease in the Stand-Alone Book Value of the
Company at May 31, 1997 in excess of $200,000 at the time of Closing shall
result in a reduction in the Target Value of the VMN Common Stock on a dollar-
for-dollar basis to the extent of such excess, resulting in fewer shares of VMN
Common Stock being issued to Stockholder at Closing. Upon any reduction in the
Target Value of the VMN Common Stock to $0, any additional excess amounts shall
be applied to reduce the Cash Payment due at Closing on a dollar-for-dollar
basis.
ARTICLE II
STRUCTURE OF THE TRANSACTION
2.1 Company to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Buyer. Buyer and
------------------------------------------------
Stockholder intend for the Company to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer,
and on a post-Closing basis to maintain ownership of all of its licenses,
permits and other regulatory clearances and filings.
2.2 Divestiture by Company of Certain Business Before Closing.
---------------------------------------------------------
Buyer and Stockholder agree that the Acquisition pursuant to this Agreement
shall not include (i) the commercial loan business now being conducted by the
Company (the "Commercial Loan Business"), nor (ii) the stock, assets, or
business operations of Better Homes Realty, Inc. ("Better Homes"), Xxxxxx
Financial Corporation ("Xxxxxx Financial"), or Western States Servicing
Corporation ("Western States Servicing" and together with the Commercial Loan
Business, Better Homes and Xxxxxx Financial, the "Divested Businesses"). At or
prior to the Closing, the Company shall either sell to a third party or transfer
to Stockholder the Divested Businesses; provided, however, that if such transfer
causes a decline in the book value of the Company in an amount greater than the
net investment in such assets currently recorded on the Company's financial
statements as of May 31, 1997 (such book value minus the net investment in such
assets being the "Stand-Alone Book Value of the Company at May 31, 1997"), then
the amount of the Cash Payment shall be reduced by the amount of such excess on
a dollar-for-dollar basis. The offer, sale or transfer of the Divested
Businesses shall not be deemed to be a violation of Sections 5.5, 5.20, 8.6,
10.2, 10.7, 10.8 or 10.12 hereof. In connection with the disposition of the
Divested Businesses, all intercompany transactions and accounts between the
Company and such businesses shall be eliminated on or prior to the Closing Date.

the Acquisition by effecting a private placement of its securities in lieu of
the Offering, and if the Closing has not occurred by the end of such time, this
Agreement shall automatically terminate, and except as expressly provided
herein, neither Stockholder, the Company nor Buyer shall have any further
obligations hereunder. If the Offering does not occur, the Total Purchase Price
shall be paid in cash and Stockholder shall pledge $1.5 million of such cash as
security for its obligations under Sections 12.2, 14.2 and 14.3 of this
Agreement.

provisions hereof;
(ii) The Certificate of Chief Executive Officer of Buyer referred
to in Section 11.2(e); and
(iii) Any governmental approvals, permits, authorizations or
notices required to be obtained before consummation of the Acquisition.
3.4 Simultaneous Delivery. All acts with respect to the Closing
---------------------
shall be considered as having taken place simultaneously, and no delivery or
payment shall be considered as having been made until all deliveries, payments
and Closing transactions have been accomplished.
3.5 Delivery of Closing Documents. Each party shall cooperate with
-----------------------------
the other to the fullest extent possible in exchanging instruments and documents

or the business of the Company; (ii) the condition of the Company's assets;

the Company or any statute, or any order, rule or regulation of any governmental
body or agency or instrumentality thereof, or any order, writ, injunction or
decree of any court or any arbitrator, having jurisdiction over the Company or

December 31, 1996 and the related audited consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996 (collectively, the "Audited Financial Statements"). The
Audited Financial Statements (including the related notes thereto) present
fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the dates
indicated therein and the consolidated results of operations and changes in
financial position of the Company for the periods specified therein, have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
applied on a consistent basis during the periods covered thereby and have been

unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company (the "Balance Sheet") at May
31, 1997 (the "Balance Sheet Date") and the related unaudited consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the four
months ended on the Balance Sheet Date (the Balance Sheet and the related
unaudited consolidated statements are sometimes referred to herein collectively
as the "Interim Financial Statements"). The Interim Financial Statements
present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the
Balance Sheet Date and the results of operations and changes in financial
position of the Company for the four-month period then ended, have been prepared

will have, good and valid title in fee simple to all real property and all
personal property reflected on the Balance Sheet as owned by the Company and all
real property and personal property acquired by the Company since the Balance
Sheet Date, in each case free and clear of all Liens (as hereinafter defined)
except (i) as set forth on Schedule 5.5(a) hereto, (ii) for sales and other
dispositions in the usual and ordinary course of business since the Balance
Sheet Date, (iii) permitted liens (as hereinafter defined) and (iv) such other
ordinary and customary imperfections of title, easements, restrictions and
encumbrances, if any, as do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from
the value of the property subject thereto and do not interfere with the use made
and proposed to be made of such property by the Company. The term "Liens," as
used in this Agreement, shall mean all liens, mortgages, security interests,
pledges, deeds of trust, options or other charges and encumbrances (including,
without limitation, any conditional sale or other title retention agreement or
lease in the nature thereof as to which the Company is the buyer or lessee, any
sale of receivables with recourse against the seller or any other person except
the account debtor, any filing or agreement to file a financing statement as a
debtor under the Uniform Commercial Code or any similar statute to reflect
ownership by a third party of property leased to the Company under a lease that
is not in the nature of a conditional sale or title retention agreement, or any
subordination arrangement in favor of any person). The term "Permitted Liens,"
as used in this Agreement, shall mean liens for ad valorem, real or personal
property taxes or assessments
9
accrued since the Balance Sheet Date not at the time due and liens in respect of
pledges or deposits under workers' compensation laws or similar legislation,
carriers', warehousemen's, mechanics', laborers' and materialmen's and similar
liens, accrued since the Balance Sheet Date if the obligations secured by such
liens are not then delinquent.

standards (the "Guides"), and no waivers with respect to any published or
22
unpublished Agency rules, regulations, directives and instructions, including,
without limitation, the applicable requirements of the Guides and the Servicing
Agreements have been obtained which adversely affect the credit quality of any
Mortgage Loan. Except as set forth at Schedule 6.1 hereto, all Mortgage Loans
are residential mortgages. For purposes hereof, "Agency" shall refer to FNMA,

---------
Servicing Rights set forth on Schedule 6.2 hereto, and the Servicing Rights have
not been assigned or pledged. The Company has good and marketable interest
therein, and has full right to transfer and sell the Servicing Rights free and
clear of any encumbrance, equity interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest, and has full right and authority, subject to no interest of,
or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign the Servicing Rights.
6.3 No Untrue Information and Servicing Agreements. No statement,

private investor requirement (collectively referred to herein as "Agency
Requirements") contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.
Each of the Servicing Agreements entered into by the Company represents an
executed original or is a certified true and correct copy of the original and in
either case represents true, correct and complete copies of the same. Each of
the Servicing Agreements is in full force and effect and has not been amended,
modified or altered except as the same shall have been provided to Buyer.
6.4 No Inquiries. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.4, the Company
------------
has not been the subject of an audit by an Agency or any provider of a PMI
Insurance Policy, which audit (i) was conducted within the last two years and
included material allegations of failure to comply with applicable loan
origination, servicing or claims procedures, or (ii) resulted in a request for
repurchase of any of the Mortgage Loans or indemnification in connection with
any of the Mortgage Loans.
6.5 Agency Requirements. The Company has performed in all material
-------------------
respects all obligations to be performed under the Agency Requirements, and no
event has occurred and is continuing which, but for the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under the Agency
Requirements. The Company has serviced the Mortgages and has kept and
maintained complete and accurate books and records in connection therewith, all
in accordance with Agency
23
Requirements and the Company has remitted to each Agency, as applicable, all
distributions to which it is entitled under the relevant Agency Requirements.
The Company's operations relating to Servicing Rights have been conducted in
full compliance with all material Agency Requirements. Other than the loan
repurchase obligations, notifications and settlements referenced on Schedule 6.4
to this First Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement at the time of its
execution, the Company will not have from such time of execution to the one year
anniversary of the Closing any Mortgage Loan repurchase obligations, requests,
notifications or settlements that relate to Mortgage Loans originated prior to
the Closing.

-----------------------------------
with all obligations under all applicable insurance contracts, including any
private mortgage insurer with respect to, and which might materially and
adversely affect, the Mortgage Loans and any of the Servicing Rights. The

the cancellation of or otherwise materially or adversely affect any of the
insurance or guaranty contracts.
6.7 No Outstanding Charges. The Delinquency Schedules prepared by
----------------------
the Company as of May 31, 1997 and delivered to Buyer are accurate in all
material respects as of the date of such Delinquency Schedules. All taxes,
governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or, subject to the Company's standard escrow practices in
conformance with federal, state and local laws, an escrow of funds with respect
to taxes and insurance premiums has been established in an amount sufficient to
pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is
not yet due and payable. The Company has not advanced funds (other than in
accordance with "scheduled to actual" or "scheduled to scheduled" payment
obligations under the applicable Agency Requirements or escrow advances), or
induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other
than the mortgagor under the Mortgage ("Mortgagor"), directly or indirectly, for
the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan (except for interest
accruing from the date of the promissory note on the Mortgage ("Mortgage Note")
or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is greater, to
the day which precedes by one month and due date of the first installment of
principal and interest).
6.8 Mortgage Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and
-------------------------
Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect by
the Company except by a written instrument which, if necessary, has been
recorded to protect the interests of each of the Agencies. The substance of any
such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the affected Agency
to the extent required by the related
24
Servicing Agreements and by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title
insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy. No Mortgagor has been
released by the Company, in whole or in part, except in connection with an
assumption agreement approved by the related Agency to the extent required by
the related Servicing Agreements and by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and
the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement is part of the mortgage loan file held by the custodian and the terms
of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
6.9 No Recourse. Except as set forth at Schedule 6.9, there are no
-----------
provisions applicable to any Mortgage Loan in any master commitment, pool
purchase contract, conversion or other Servicing Agreement, whether described as
a limited repurchase requirement, limited recourse, credit support obligation,
indemnification, or otherwise which would subject the Company to losses on the
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or which would entitle an Agency to demand the
repurchase of a Mortgage Loan for any circumstances other than those which are
permitted under (i) the "Special Servicing Option" as set forth in Part II,
Chapter 2, Section 201 of the FNMA Selling Guide in the case of FNMA Pools and
(ii) the "Without Recourse" provisions set forth in Section 5306 (b) of the
FHLMC Guide in the case of FHLMC Pools.
6.10 Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, to the
----------------
best knowledge of Stockholder, all buildings or other improvements upon the
property subject to the Mortgage ("Mortgaged Property") are insured by an
insurer acceptable to the related Agency in accordance with the related Agency
Requirements against loss by fire, earthquakes, hazards of extended coverage and
such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located. The Company has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the
Mortgagor's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the
coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for
therein, or the validity or binding effect of either.
6.11 Coinsurance Claims. To the best knowledge of Stockholder, there
------------------
are no uninsured casualty losses or casualty losses where coinsurance has been
(and Stockholder has no reason to believe, will be) claimed by an insurance
company or where the loss, exclusive of contents, is greater than the recovery,
less actual expenses incurred in such recovery from the insurance carrier. To
the best knowledge of Stockholder, no casualty insurance proceeds have been used
to make repairs to the property subject to the Mortgage (other than with the
consent of applicable Agencies in accordance with Agency Requirements). All
insurance proceeds received by the Company have been properly applied or a
proper accounting has been made.
25
6.12 Compliance with Applicable Laws. Any and all requirements of
-------------------------------
any federal, state or local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-
lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal
credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans by the Company have been complied with.
6.13 Pools. Each Mortgage included in a pool meets all eligibility
-----
requirements for inclusion in such pool, in accordance with all applicable
Agency Requirements of eligibility for loan pooling. Except as set forth at
Schedule 6.13(a), all of the pools have been finally and properly certified or
re-certified in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and Agency
Requirements. No Mortgage has been bought out of a pool without all required
prior written approvals of the applicable Agency. Except as set forth at
Schedule 6.13(b), the servicing files include all documents necessary in order
for the appropriate custodian to recertify the pools in accordance with Agency
Requirements.
6.14 Limitations on Mortgage Loan Characteristics. No more than five
--------------------------------------------
percent (5%) of the Company's portfolio of Mortgage Loans contain provisions for
graduated payments mortgages, shared appreciation or contingent interest
features, or (except in the case of permitted buy-down loans) interest rate buy-
down's wherein monthly payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited
in a separate account established by the Company, the Mortgagor or anyone on
behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor, or any
other type of interest rate subsidy or special escrow arrangement. No more than
ten percent (10%) of the Company's portfolio of Mortgage Loans are temporary
Buy-down Loans.
6.15 Custodial and Escrow Accounts Current. All custodial accounts
-------------------------------------
and escrow accounts are maintained by the Company and have been maintained in
accordance with applicable law, the terms of the Mortgage Loans and the
Servicing Agreements related thereto. The escrow payments required by the
Mortgages which have been paid to the Company for the account of the Mortgagor
are on deposit in the appropriate escrow account. All funds received by the
Company in connection with the Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation,
foreclosure proceeds, fire insurance proceeds from fire losses, condemnation
proceeds and principal reductions, have been deposited promptly in the
appropriate Custodial Account or escrow account, and all such funds have been
applied to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in question, or
for reimbursement of repairs to the Mortgaged Property or as otherwise required
by applicable law and the Servicing Agreements. As of the Closing Date, all
Custodial Accounts and escrow accounts maintained by the Company shall possess
all funds or other proceeds which have been paid to the Company for the account
of the Mortgagor for deposit therein.
26
6.16 PMI Policy. To the extent required by each Agency, each
----------
Mortgage Loan is and will be insured by a mortgage insurer acceptable to the
appropriate Agency as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. All provisions of
such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with in all material respects,
such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have
been paid. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in
connection therewith.
6.17 Title Insurance. Each Mortgage Loan required by the investor to
---------------
be so covered is covered by either (i) an attorney's opinion of title and
abstract of title, the form and substance of which is acceptable to the related
Agency and to prudent mortgage lending institutions making mortgage loans in the
area where the Mortgaged Property is located; or (ii) an ALTA Lender's title
insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance
acceptable to the applicable Agency, and each such title insurance policy is
issued by a title insurer acceptable to the affected Agency and qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring
the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the
Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Such lender's
title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The Company has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such lender's title insurance policy.
6.18 No Defaults. The Company has not waived any default, breach,
-----------
violation or event of acceleration on any Mortgage Loans without the appropriate
consent of the applicable Agency.
6.19 Acceptable Investment. To the best knowledge of Stockholder,
---------------------
there are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the
underlying Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing
that can reasonably be expected to cause the related Agency to regard the
Mortgage Loan or the relating Servicing Rights as an unacceptable investment,
cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the volume or
marketability of the Mortgage Loan or the related Servicing Rights.
6.20 Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits. The collection practices
-------------------------------------

Agency Requirements, and have been in all material respects legal and proper.
With respect to escrow deposits and escrow payments, all such payments shall be

27
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or
escrow payments or other charges or payments due the Company have been
capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage note.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Relief Act of 1940 or Similar Laws. The Company has received notices from
----------------------------------
Mortgagors and other parties with respect to Mortgage Loans (representing less
than one percent (1%) of the Company's portfolio of Mortgage Loans with respect
to requests) for relief pursuant to or invoking any of the provisions of the
Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act of 1940 or similar state or federal law
suspending payments of amounts due under the Mortgage Loan Documents or
suspending the commencement of foreclosure proceedings.

Agency and with respect to which the Company maintains an escrow account with
Imperial Bank.

------------------------
has been and will be a FHA, VA, FNMA, GNMA and FHLMC approved mortgagee, lender
and seller/servicer as applicable to the extent required to be approved and
fully authorized to service the Mortgage Loans. To the best of Stockholder's
knowledge, there has been no occurrence of any event that could obligate Buyer
or the Company to repurchase any Mortgage Loans in accordance with Agency
Requirements or cause the cancellation of the Servicing Rights or any material
changes in procedures with respect to the Mortgage loans.
6.24 Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan Errors. The Company has not made
------------------------------------
any errors relating to the adjustment of mortgage interest rates which may
result in any loss, expense, claim or legal damages, and no liabilities, whether

when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In the event of
any such claim for indemnification resulting from or in connection with a claim

right, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its
choice who must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to

Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further,
----------------
however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, participate in any
-------
such proceeding with the counsel of its choice. As long as the Indemnifying
Party is in good faith defending such claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party
shall not compromise or settle such claim without the prior written consent of
the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense
of any such claim or litigation in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as
it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim or
litigation (after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party) on such
terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying
47
Party will promptly indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 14.2.
(d) Waiver of Subrogation and Other Rights. Buyer shall not be
--------------------------------------
required to proceed against any particular Indemnifying Party for
indemnification or otherwise in respect of any losses before enforcing its
rights hereunder against any other Indemnifying Party, and Stockholder expressly
waives all rights he may have, now or in the future, under any statute, or at
common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Buyer to proceed
