The One World Shareholder understands that the issuance of the Common Stock of the Company will not have been registered under the Act, or any state securities acts, and, accordingly, are restricted securities, and that he, she or it represents and warrants to the Company that his, her or its present intention is to receive and hold the Common Stock of the Company for investment only and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.

Section 5.02 Defense of Claims. If any lawsuit enforcement action or any attempt to collect on an alleged liability is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice or other date by which action must be taken; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates damage caused by such failure. After such notice, the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action and to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying party's cost, risk and expense; and such indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at its cost, risk and expense, with the indemnifying party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in such investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder unless such settlement of a claim, investigation, suit, or other proceeding only involves a remedy for the payment of money by the indemnifying party and includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

Section 5.03 Default of Indemnification Obligation. If an entity or individual having an indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation, as above provided, shall fail to assume such obligation, then the party or entities or both, as the case may be, to whom such indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation is due shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume
and maintain such defense (including reasonable counsel fees and costs of any suit related thereto) and to make any settlement or pay any judgment or verdict as the individual or entities deem necessary or appropriate in such individuals or entities absolute sole discretion and to charge the cost of any such settlement, payment, expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the entity or individual that had the obligation to provide such indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation and same shall constitute an additional obligation of the entity or of the individual or both, as the case may be.
Section 5.04 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The respective representations, warranties and indemnities given by the parties to each other pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period ending twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date (“Survival Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no claim for indemnification may be made against the party required to indemnify (the “Indemnitor”) under this Agreement unless the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall have given the Indemnitor written notice of such claim as provided herein on or before the Survival Date. Any claim for which notice has been given prior to the expiration of the Survival Date shall not be barred hereunder.
