and Related Matters.

by the Seller. Seller hereby indemnifies and hold 247MGI and
Buyer harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities,
obligations, costs or expenses incurred by 247MGI and/or Buyer arising out
of
the breach of any representation or warranty of Seller hereunder, and/or
Seller’s failure to perform any covenant or obligation required to be performed
by any of them hereunder.
9.2 Indemnification
by 247MGI and Buyer. 247MGI and Buyer each hereby severally
indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all damages,
losses, liabilities, obligations, costs or expenses incurred by Seller and
arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty of 247MGI or Buyer,
as the case may be, hereunder, or 247MGI or Buyer's failure to perform any
covenant or obligation required to be performed by either of them
hereunder.
9.3 Procedure
for Indemnification. Any party entitled to indemnification under
this Article IX (an "Indemnified Party") will give written notice to the
indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification;
provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder
to
give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of
its
obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the indemnifying
party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case
any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in
respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment
of
counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between it and the
indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim,
to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises
an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification
hereunder, or fails, within 30 days of receipt of any indemnification notice
to
notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise,
at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues
its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified
Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such
action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying
party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such
claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party's costs and expenses arising
out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or
proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The
Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any settlement negotiations or defense of any such action or
claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party
all
information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party, which relates to
such
action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified
Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any
settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying
party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice
at
its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its
prior
written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the
contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s
prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of
any
judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the
Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof,
the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a
release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnity
agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action
or
similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the indemnifying party or
others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject
to.
9.4 Time
for Assertion. No party to this Agreement shall have any
liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation,
warranty or covenant or obligation to be performed and complied hereunder,
unless notice of any such liability is provided on or before 12 months from
the
date hereof.
9.5 Basket. Notwithstanding
any conflicting or inconsistent provisions hereof, Seller shall not be liable
in
damages, indemnity or otherwise to Buyers in respect of the inaccuracy or breach
of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements herein, except
to
the extent that the damages to Buyers, singularly or in the aggregate, exceed
the sum of $25,000. Notwithstanding any conflicting or inconsistent
provisions hereof, Buyers shall not be liable in damages, indemnity or otherwise
to Seller in respect to the inaccuracy or breach of any representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements herein except to the extent that damages
to
Seller exceed, individually or in the aggregate, the sum of
$25,000.
