INDEMNIFICATION
11.1
Indemnification by TWYA. In order to induce Speedpal to enter into and perform this Agreement, TWYA hereby indemnifies, protects, defends and saves and holds harmless Speedpal and each of its stockholders, affiliates, officers, directors, control persons, employees, attorneys, agents, partners and trustees and personal representatives of any of the foregoing (“Speedpal Indemnified Parties”), from and against any loss resulting to any of them from any material loss, liability, cost, damage, or expense in excess of the Threshold, which the Speedpal Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or incur arising out of or due to a breach by TWYA of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Article 3., of, and elsewhere in, this Agreement or in any documents delivered pursuant hereto or of a breach by TWYA of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or in any documents delivered pursuant hereto.
11.2
Indemnification by Speedpal. In order to induce TWYA to enter into and perform this Agreement, Speedpal hereby indemnifies, protects, defends and saves and holds harmless TWYA and each of its stockholders, affiliates, officers, directors, control persons, employees, attorneys, agents, partners and trustees and personal representatives of any of the foregoing (“TWYA Indemnified Parties”), from and against any loss resulting to any of them from any material loss, liability, cost, damage, or expense in excess of the Threshold, which the TWYA Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or incur arising out of or due to a breach by Speedpal of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Article 4., of, and elsewhere in, this Agreement or in any documents delivered pursuant hereto or of a breach by Speedpal of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or in any documents delivered pursuant hereto.
11.3
Reasonable Costs, Etc. The indemnification, which is set forth in this Article 11., of this Agreement shall be deemed to include not only the specific liabilities or obligation with respect to which such indemnity is provided, but also all counsel fees, reasonable costs, expenses and expenses of settlement relating thereto, whether or not any such liability or obligation shall have been reduced to judgment; provided, however, that, there shall be a Threshold of $50,000 in the aggregate which must be exceeded before TWYA or Speedpal, as the case may be, may recover any damages or costs pursuant this Article 11. Once the Bucket has been exceeded, however, the party seeking indemnity is entitled to recover all damages suffered or costs incurred, and not just those damages suffered or costs incurred in excess of the Threshold.
Page 14
11.4
Third Party Claims. If any demand, claim, action or cause of action, suit, proceeding or investigation (collectively, the “Claim”) is brought against an Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity from the other party hereto (the “Indemnifying Party”), then the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after such Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Claim, shall notify the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 11., which notice shall contain a reasonably thorough description of the nature and amount of the Claim (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall have the option to undertake, conduct and control the defense of such claim or demand. Such option to undertake, conduct and control the defense of such claim or demand shall be exercised by notifying the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after receipt of the Claim Notice pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (such notice to control the defense is hereinafter referred to as the “Defense Notice”). The failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of the Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have pursuant to this Article 11., except to the extent that such failure to notify the Indemnifying Party prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall use all reasonable efforts to assist the Indemnifying Party in the vigorous defense of the Claim. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending the Claim shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If, however, the Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense (it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense). The Indemnified Party shall not settle the Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to control the defense of the Claim, within the aforesaid ten (10) day period by proper notice pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to undertake, conduct and control the defense of the Claim (a failure by the Indemnifying Party to send the Defense Notice to the Indemnified Party within the aforesaid ten (10) day period by proper notice pursuant to this Article 11., shall be deemed to be an election by the Indemnifying Party not to control the defense of the Claim); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so desires, to participate therein (it being understood that in such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to control the defense). Regardless of which party has undertaken to defend any claim, the Indemnifying Party may, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand; provided however, that if any settlement would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party, the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be a condition to any such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 11., as a condition to the Indemnifying Party either having the right to defend the Claim, or having control over settlement as indicated in this Article 11., the Indemnifying Party shall execute an agreement, satisfactory to the other party acknowledging its liability for indemnification pursuant to this Article 11. Whether the Indemnifying Party shall control and assume the defense of the Claim or only participate in the defense or settlement of the Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access, during normal business hours, to all relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with its employees and counsel.

Re:
INVESTMENT LETTER
Gentlemen:
The undersigned having acquired by a stock-for-stock exchange 2,500,000 restricted shares of Common Stock (the “Securities”) of Town and Country Appraisal Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the Company”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Share Exchange Agreement between Speedpal and the Company, hereby represents to the Company that:
1.
The Securities which are being acquired by the undersigned are being acquired for the undersigned's own account and for investment and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof.
2.
The undersigned will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities unless, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, such disposition conforms with applicable securities laws requirements.
3.
The undersigned is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 (the “Rule”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).
4.
The undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly designated representatives of the Company concerning the finances of the Company and the proposed business plan of the Company.

6.
The undersigned further acknowledges that the undersigned is fully aware of the applicable limitations on the resale of the Securities. These restrictions for the most part are set forth in Rule 144 (the “Rule”). The Rule permits sales of “restricted securities” upon compliance with the requirements of such Rule.
