The Target Numbers regarding Earnings Per Share on a Fully-diluted Basis shall be adjusted to reflect the effect of any stock split and stock combination.

(b) As Purchaser is relying on such expected profit in making its investment hereunder, and in order to attempt to make whole Purchaser in the event these numbers are not met, the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent at the Closing and Final Closing the Make Good Escrow Shares (as defined below).

(c) If either or both of the Company’s audited and consolidated After-Tax Net Income and the applicable Earnings Per Share on a Fully-diluted Basis for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2008 or 2009 does not meet the applicable Target Number for such year, and the Percentage Shortfall (as defined below) for such year is less than fifty percent (50%), but equal or greater than fifteen percent (15%), then an Adjustment Percentage for such year shall be determined.

(iii) If the Percentage Shortfall for 2008 is less than fifteen percent (15%), then all of the Make Good Escrow Shares shall remain in escrow as Make Good Escrow Shares for fiscal year 2009 to be distributed in accordance with this Section 6.19(d).

(iv) If the Percentage Shortfall for 2009 is less than fifteen percent (15%), then all of the Make Good Escrow Shares remain in escrow shall be returned to the Company for cancellation.

(e) At the Closing, the Company shall issue and deposit the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to 30% of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued hereunder to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Escrow Agreement (collectively, the “2008 Make Good Escrow Shares”).

(i) the release of any or all of the Make Good Escrow Shares shall not be counted as an expense, charge, or other deduction from revenues in calculating net income even though GAAP may require contrary treatment,

(ii) any registration delay payments arising under the Registration Rights Agreement that are accrued or paid by the Company to any Series A Purchaser will be excluded from the calculation of net income, and

8.3 Procedures. If a third party shall notify an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter that may give rise to a claim for indemnification under the indemnity set forth above in Section 8.2, the procedure set forth below shall be followed.

(a) Notice. The Indemnified Party shall give to the party providing indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of any claim, suit, judgment or matter for which indemnity may be sought under Section 8.2 promptly but in any event within 30 days after the Indemnified Party receives notice thereof; provided, however, that failure by the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it shall otherwise have pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail, if known, (i) the basis for such potential claim and (ii) the dollar amount of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 20 days within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 20-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility for such indemnity.

(b) Defense of Claim. With respect to a claim by a third party against an Indemnified Party for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to assume the defense or otherwise control the handling of any claim, suit, judgment or matter for which indemnity is sought, which is set forth in the notice sent by the Indemnified Party, by notifying the Indemnified Party in writing to such effect within 20 days of receipt of such notice; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it if, in the Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment based upon the advice of counsel, it is advisable in light of the separate interests of the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses of one such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not give timely notice in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have given notice that it does not wish to control the handling of such claim, suit or judgment. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects (by notice in writing within such 20-day period) to assume the defense of or otherwise control the handling of any such claim, suit, judgment or matter for which indemnity is sought, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any and all fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees, accountants, consultants and engineering fees) and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party prior to such election. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense or otherwise control the handling of such matter, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, as an indemnification expense, to defend such claim, suit, judgment or matter.

(c) Final Authority. Each of the parties shall cooperate in the defense of any such claim or litigation. In connection with any claim, suit or other proceeding with respect to which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense or control, the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any matter which does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. In connection with any claim, suit or other proceeding with respect to which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense or control, the Indemnified Party may not compromise or settle such claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

These securities are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Act and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. Investors should be aware that they may be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time.

(b) Any other legends required by applicable Laws.

The Company may instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Securities, unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied.

9.2 Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to Section 9.1 and the stop transfer instructions with respect to such Securities shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder thereof (a) if such Securities are registered under the Securities Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act is available, (b) if such legend may be properly removed under the terms of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (c) if such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel for such holder, reasonably satisfactory to legal counsel for the Company to the effect that a sale, transfer or assignment of such Securities may be made without registration.

9.3 Waivers and Amendments. All waivers and amendments hereunder must be made in writing, and failure of any party at any time to require another party's performance of any obligation under this Agreement shall not affect the right subsequently to require performance of that obligation.

9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

9.5 Dispute Resolution.
