Both Corporations shall, and from and after the Closing Date, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer or director of either Corporation and the Salty's Shareholders (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement with the approval of the indemnifying Corporation of or in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation based on or arising out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of either Corporation whether pertaining to any matter existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing Date and whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Closing Date ("Indemnified Liabilities"), including all Indemnified Liabilities based on, or arising out of, or pertaining to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, to the full extent each Corporation is permitted under the laws of its respective state of incorporation to indemnify directors or officers.

Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation is brought against any Indemnified Parties (whether arising before or after the Closing Date), (i) the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them and the Corporations shall pay all fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefore are received; and (ii) each party shall use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter, provided that each party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent.

The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties. The Parties agree that all rights to indemnification, including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in defense of any action or suit, existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties with respect to matters occurring through the Closing Date, shall survive the reverse acquisition and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than seven years from the Closing Date; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Indemnified Liabilities asserted or made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Indemnified Liabilities.

The provisions of this section are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her personal representatives and shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of all Parties.
