provision of this Agreement has been committed by the other party and such
breach has not been waived;

8.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION
Each party's right of termination under Section 8.1 is in addition to any
other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of

terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, all further obligations of the parties under
this Agreement will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 13.1,
13.5 and 13.9 and the obligations under that certain Amended Mutual
Non-Disclosure Agreement between Buyer and the Company, which by its terms
survive, will survive; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated
by a party because of the breach of the Agreement by the other party or because
one or more of the conditions to the terminating party's obligations under this
Agreement is not satisfied as a result of the other party's failure to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement, the terminating party's right to
pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired.

and will reimburse the Indemnified Persons, for any loss, liability, claim,

commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding
alleged to have been made by such Person with Buyer (or any Person acting

10.4 RIGHT OF SETOFF
Upon notice to the Company specifying in reasonable detail the damages
which are the basis for any such set-off, Buyer may set off an amount equal to
the known or reasonably anticipated Damages to which it may be entitled under
this Section 10 against amounts otherwise payable under Section 1.2. Neither the
exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of set-off will constitute an
election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any
other remedies that may be available to it.
10.5 PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION-THIRD PARTY CLAIMS
(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section
10.2 or 10.3 of notice of a claim against it (a "Claim"), the indemnified
party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under
such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the Claim, but the
failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying
party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except
to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of
such action is prejudiced by the indemnified party's failure to give such
notice.
(b) If any Claim referred to in Section 10.5(a) is made against an
indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the
Claim, the indemnifying party will, unless the Claim involves tax
liabilities, be entitled to participate in the defense of the Claim and,
to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a
party to the Claim and the indemnified party determines in good faith that
joint representation would result in a conflict of interest, or (ii) the
indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the
indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend the Claim and
provide indemnification with respect to the Claim), to assume the defense
of the Claim with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after
notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its
election to assume the defense of the Claim, the indemnifying party will
not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the
indemnified party under such Section for any fees of other counsel or any
other expenses with respect to the defense of the Claim in each case
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense of the Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the
indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Claim, (a) no compromise or
settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party
without the indemnified party's consent unless (i) there is no finding or
admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the
rights of any Person and no effect on any other Claims that may be made
against the indemnified party, and (ii) the sole relief provided is
monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (b)
the indemnifying 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 a Claim and the indemnifying
party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party's notice is
given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of the Claim, the indemnifying party will be bound by any
determination with respect to the Claim or any compromise or settlement
effected by the indemnified party.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party
determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a
Claim may adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a
result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice
to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend,
compromise, or settle the Claim, but the indemnifying party will not be
bound by any determination of a Claim so defended or any compromise or
settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably
withheld).
(d) The Company, the Shareholders and Buyer hereby consent to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Claim is brought
against any indemnified person for purposes of any claim that an
indemnified party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Claim
or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on
the Company, the Shareholders and Buyer with respect to such a claim
anywhere in the world.
10.6 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.
