12.2.2 any breach in any representation or warranty made by Multiband in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty were made on and as of the Closing Date;

12.2.3 any liabilities with respect to the operations of the DTHC Affiliates at or after the Closing Date;

12.2.4 any breach by Multiband of any covenant or obligation of Multiband in this Agreement;

12.2.5 the DTHC Affiliates’ litigation involving class action suits pertaining to wage and hour law applications and violations pending as of the Closing Date (the “FLSA Litigation”), the expense of which shall ultimately be borne equally by DTHC and Multiband; provided, however, that prior to the dismissal or final settlement of each of the claims included within the FLSA Litigation, the Parties agree that ongoing legal and professional fees and expenses pertaining to these succinct activities on and after the Closing Date shall be expressly borne by the DTHC Operating Entities. At the time of a final disposition of any given FSLA litigation, Multiband shall have the right to offset 50% of the expense paid by it and/or the “Operating Entities” on or after the closing date related to the FLSA Litigation against the Multiband Secured Promissory Note. The aforementioned expense shall include but not be limited to legal and professional fees and expenses, settlement amounts, judgments, and/or any other expense directly related to the FLSA litigation; and

12.2.6 the liabilities described in Section 3.3.8 of this Agreement.

The remedies provided in this Section 12.2 will not be exclusive of or limit any other remedies that may be available to the DTHC Indemnified Persons. The indemnification obligations under this Section shall be secured obligations under the Loan and Pledge Agreement and the Security Agreement, and guarantied under the Guaranty.

12.3 Indemnification and Payment of Damages by DTHC. DTHC will indemnify and hold harmless Multiband and its employees, officers, directors, and shareholders (collectively, the “Multiband Indemnified Persons”), and will pay to the Multiband Indemnified Persons the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

12.3.1 any breach in any respect of any representation or warranty made by DTHC in this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered by DTHC pursuant to this Agreement;

12.3.2 any breach in any representation or warranty made by DTHC in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty were made on and as of the Closing Date; and

12.3.3 any breach by DTHC of any covenant or obligation of DTHC in this Agreement.

12.4 Time Limitations. If the Closing occurs, Multiband, DTSW, DTNE, DTDC, JBM, and MMT will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any matter specified in Sections 12.2.1, 12.2.2, or 12.2.4 (with respect to covenants to be complied with on or prior to the Closing Date) unless on or before the eighteen month anniversary of the date hereof DTHC notifies Multiband of a claim relating to a matter specified in Sections 12.2.1, 12.2.2, or 12.2.4 (with respect to covenants to be complied with on or prior to the Closing Date), specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by DTHC. If the Closing occurs, DTHC will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation or warranty, or any covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with on or prior to the Closing Date, unless on or before the eighteen month anniversary of the date hereof Multiband notifies DTHC of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Multiband. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of DTHC and Multiband shall be liable to the other Party with respect to any Damages arising out of or related to representations and warranties with respect to tax and securities law matters and covenants to be complied with after the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations, and shall be liable without any time limitation with respect to matters involving title to stock, capitalization, capital structure (including the representations under Section 5.3), environmental matters, and matters involving fraud or willful misrepresentation. Nothing herein shall limit the obligations under the Loan and Pledge Agreement, Security Agreement, Multiband Secured Promissory Note, Guaranty, Registration Rights Agreement, Management Services Agreement, and other agreements entered into as of the Closing.

12.5 Limitations. If the Closing occurs, DTHC shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) under this Agreement, with the exception of the FSLA litigation and in the manner described in Section 12.2.5 of this Agreement only, unless the total of all Damages with respect to such matters is at least Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000.00), it being understood that such Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) amount is to serve as a “tipping basket” (for example, once the indemnity claims for which DTHC would, but for the provisions of this paragraph 12.5, be liable reach Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars $400,000.00, DTHC would then be liable for the full Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000.00)). If the Closing occurs, DTHC shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) under this Agreement in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), it being understood that such One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) amount is to serve as a total rather than a “per claim” figure.

The amount of any Damages shall be reduced or reimbursed, as the case may be, by any amount received by the indemnified Person or Party with respect thereto under any insurance coverage or for any other party alleged to be responsible therefor. If an indemnified person receives an amount under insurance coverage with respect to Damages at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided by an indemnifying party, then such indemnified Person shall promptly reimburse the indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by the indemnified Person.

Any indemnification payments required to be made hereunder with respect to any matter shall be reduced by the amount of any economic benefits (including, income tax benefits) that are readily quantifiable and can be demonstrated to have been received by the Indemnified Person as a result of the same matter.

Nothing herein shall limit the obligations under the Loan and Pledge Agreement, Security Agreement, Multiband Secured Promissory Note, Registration Rights Agreement, Management Services Agreement, and other agreements entered into as of the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

12.6 Procedure For Indemnification — Third Party Claims. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified Person or Party under Sections 12.2 and 12.3 of this Agreement of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it, such indemnified or Party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying Party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying Party of the commencement of such claim.

If any proceeding referred to in this Section 12.6 is brought against an indemnified Person or Party and it gives notice to the indemnifying Party of the commencement of such proceeding, the indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying Party is also a party to such proceeding and the indemnified Person or Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified Person or Party of its financial capacity to defend such proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such proceeding), to assume the defense of such proceeding and, after notice from the indemnifying Party to the indemnified Person or Party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 12.6 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified Person or Party in connection with the defense of such proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; and (ii) the indemnified Person or Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying Party of the commencement of any proceeding and the indemnifying Party does not, within ten (10) business days after the indemnified Person or Party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified Person or Party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified Person or Party. If any indemnified Person or Party or indemnifying Party disagrees with the manner in which the other is applying this Section 12.6, such party shall be entitled to, upon notice to the other, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for any such disagreement, an expedited resolution of such dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 15.5 of this Agreement.

The indemnifying Party hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a proceeding is brought against any indemnified Person or Party for purposes of any claim that an indemnified Person or Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agrees that process may be served on the indemnifying Party with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

12.7 Procedure For Indemnification — Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.

12.8 Payment of Indemnification Obligations. Except as set forth in Section 12.5 of this Agreement, all indemnification amounts payable to any Person or Party hereto in connection with a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 12 shall be effected immediately upon determination of the amount of the indemnification liability by payment of cash or delivery of a cashier’s check in the amount of the indemnification liability.

SECTION 13. Further Assurances.

The Parties agree to execute and deliver all such other instruments and take all such other action as any Party may reasonably request from time to time, before or after the Closing and without payment of further consideration therefor, in order to effectuate the transactions provided for herein. The Parties shall cooperate fully with each other and with their respective counsel and accountants in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the preparation of financial statements and tax returns.

SECTION 14. Indemnity Against Brokerage Commissions and Finder’s Fees.

The Parties hereby represent and warrant that there is no Person or entity entitled to receive from any Party any brokerage commission or finder’s fee in connection with this Agreement or the transactions provided for herein, and each hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other Parties hereto harmless from and against any claim for brokerage commission or finder’s fee based on any retention or alleged retention of a broker or finder by such Party.

SECTION 15. Miscellaneous.

15.1 Indulgences, Waivers, Etc. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any Party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of such right, remedy, power of privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the Party asserted to have granted such waiver.

15.2 Controlling Laws. This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the Parties. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by Delaware law except as otherwise indicated herein.

15.3 Public Announcements and Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that the transactions described herein are of a confidential nature and shall not be disclosed prior to the Closing except to (i) agents, representatives, counsel, accountants and consultants unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, (ii) to the United States Department of Labor as deemed necessary by North Star Trust Company to comply with its disclosure obligation to the Department regarding the DTHC ESOT or (iii) as required by law. Subject to the foregoing, none of the Parties hereto shall make any public disclosure of the terms of this Agreement prior to the Closing, except as required by law or mutually agreed to by the Corporate Parties, such requirement to be substantiated by a written opinion of counsel. The Parties shall endeavor to make only those press releases or other public disclosures as are required by law; provided, however, that no press release or other public disclosure prior to the Closing shall be made without a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours prior consultation with the other Parties.

15.4 Costs. Each Party shall be responsible for and bear all of its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, including, without limitation, all accounting, legal, finder, broker and other fees and expenses.

15.5 Dispute Resolution. Any controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its enforcement or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of its provisions, or any other controversy arising out of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any state or federal statutory claims, shall be submitted to arbitration in St. Xxxx, Minnesota, before a sole arbitrator selected from Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc., or its successor (“JAMS”), or if JAMS is no longer able to supply the arbitrator, such arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) shall be selected from the American Arbitration Association, and the Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with JAMS as the exclusive forum for the resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that provisional injunctive relief may, but need not, be sought by the Parties in a court of law while arbitration proceedings are pending, and any provisional injunctive relief granted by such court shall remain effective until the matter is finally determined by the Arbitrator. Final resolution of any dispute through arbitration may include any remedy or relief which the Arbitrator deems just and equitable, including any and all remedies provided by applicable state or federal statutes. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator shall issue a written decision that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions upon which the Arbitrator's award or decision is based. Any award or relief granted by the Arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties acknowledge and agree that they are hereby waiving any rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the Parties against the other in connection with any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall determine the allocation of associated fees and costs in accordance with applicable law.

All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made and received only when delivered (personally, by courier service such as Federal Express or DHL or by other messenger) or when deposited in the United States mails, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as set forth below:

15.8 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

15.9 Binding Nature of Agreement.

15.11 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any Party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. If executed in multiple counterparts, this Agreement shall become binding when two or more counterparts hereto, individually or taken together, bear the signatures of all of the Parties reflected hereon as the signatories. Facsimile counterpart signatures to this Agreement shall be acceptable at the Closing if the originally executed counterpart is delivered within a reasonable time thereafter.

15.12 Provisions Separable. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and separable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that any other provision may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and unenforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid and unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

15.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the related agreements referred to herein, contains the entire understanding among the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, including, without limitation, the Letter of Intent. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. The Parties explicitly agree that this Agreement supersedes the representations and warranties and indemnification provisions of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and that certain Supplemental Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange executed by the parties and referenced in the Recitals to this Agreement. The Parties further agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all references in Section 1.29(a) of that same Supplemental Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange dated January 25, 2008, are hereby deleted in their entirety and shall no longer have any legal force or effect and terms of that agreement that are inconsistent with this Agreement are hereby deleted.

15.14 Disclaimer of Representations. Except as expressly set forth in Sections 4. and 5. hereof and the Schedules referred to therein, the Parties have not made any representations or warranties to each other, and the Parties, individually and collectively, expressly acknowledge that they are not relying on any other information received from any other Party or its representatives (including, without limitation, any projections, forecasts or forward-looking information).

15.15 Amendments and Modifications. This Agreement may not be amended or modified other than by an agreement in writing signed by all of the Parties.

15.19 Construction. The construction of this Agreement shall not take into consideration the Party(ies) who drafted or whose representative drafted any portion of this Agreement, and no canon of construction shall be applied that resolves ambiguities against the drafter of a document. The Parties acknowledge that they were each advised by competent counsel that each has chosen to represent such Party and each Party has had a full opportunity to comment upon and negotiate the terms of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the Parties hereto to express their mutual intent as a result of arm’s length bargaining.

15.20 Exclusivity. Until December 31, 2008, the Corporate Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, through any representatives or otherwise, solicit or entertain offers from, negotiate with or in any manner encourage, discuss, accept or consider any proposal of any other Person or entity relating to the acquisition of any of their shares of capital stock, their assets or business, in whole or in part, whether directly or indirectly, through purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise (other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business).
