or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or provide any information to, any corporation,
partnership, person, or other entity or group concerning any tender offer, exchange offer,

information concerning its business, properties, or assets to and enter into negotiations with

Company's board of directors in writing that the board's fiduciary responsibilities under
applicable law require that such information be provided or negotiations be held with the
person presenting the Acquisition Proposal in order to avoid a breach of such fiduciary
responsibilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company at any time
after the date of the Letter of Intent and before the earlier of the Closing Date or the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9 hereof, accepts an Acquisition
Proposal from any person or entity other than Parent, or the board of directors of the
Company fails, for any reason, to authorize the entering into this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the board of directors of the
Company withdraws or modifies such authorization, the Parent shall be entitled, providing
that Parent is not in a material breach of any of its obligations hereunder, upon demand
submitted in a form of a notice to the Company (the "Demand Notice") to the payment of
the sum of $250,000. The Company shall make such payment within ten (10) days of the
receipt of the Demand Notice. In the event that the board of directors of Parent fails, for
reason other than (i) Company Material Adverse Effect or (ii) Parent reasonably believes
that one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 will not be satisfied at the time for
Closing, to authorize the entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or withdraws or modifies, for reason other than Company
Material Adverse Effect, such authorization, the Company shall be entitled, providing that
neither the Company nor the Stockholders are in a default under or in a breach of any
provision hereof, upon demand submitted in a form of a Demand Notice to Parent, to the
payment of the sum of $250,000. | |||
6.2 | Expenses. | |||

6.2.4 | Environmental Insurance Premium. At Closing Xxxxx and Xxxxx shall pay up to
$165,000, representing one-half the premium for an environmental risk policy. | |||

exceed $15,000,000, which minimally shall include $4.7 million in cash assets, or
exceed $15,000,000 by an amount which is not sufficient to cover all Expenses
incurred by the Company or Stockholders, the Company and the Stockholders shall
ensure that any Expenses not covered from such excess pursuant to Section 6.2.1 are
paid at or before the Closing from the aggregate Purchase Price so that such excess
expenses incurred by the Company or Stockholders do not continue to be or do not
become the liability of the Company after the Closing. | |||

Section 6.3. Subject to the terms of this Section 6.3, from and after the Closing Date,

directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, successor and assigns (collectively
"Parent Indemnified Parties") shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement from Xxxxx

unqualified power to delegate to one or more Persons the authority granted to him
hereunder, shall have an authority | |||
(a) | to receive and to accept on behalf of each Stockholder any notice from any
person claiming to be an Indemnified Party given in accordance with the
terms of this Section 6.3 (and any notice given to the Stockholder
Representative shall be deemed to have been given to each Stockholder); | |||
(b) | to give on behalf of each Stockholder any notice, representation, demand, or
other communication that it may be necessary, desirable, or otherwise
appropriate to give to secure and to preserve for each Stockholder the benefit
of any policy or policies of insurance, surety, indemnification, or other
reimbursement for any amount for which the Stockholder may be liable
directly or indirectly under this Agreement ("Indemnification Insurance"); | |||
(c) | to cooperate with any and all Indemnified Parties to investigate, negotiate,
settle, and compromise any claim of any Indemnified Party asserted under this
Agreement, and to execute on behalf of any Stockholder any agreement,

Representative, is necessary, desirable, or otherwise appropriate to effect any
such settlement or compromise; | |||
provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall have no liability or
obligation to any Indemnified Party otherwise than and to the extent his individual
liability as a Stockholder. | ||||
6.3.2 | Claims for Indemnification. Upon obtaining knowledge of any facts, claim or
demand which has given rise to, or could reasonably give rise to, a claim for
indemnification hereunder (referred to herein as an "Indemnification Claim"), the
Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice of such facts, claim or demand
("Notice of Claim") to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the
"Indemnifying Party"). So long as the Notice of Claim is given by the Indemnified
Party in the Claims Period specified in Section 6.3.6, no failure or delay by the
Indemnified Party in the giving of a Notice of Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect
the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby. | |||
6.3.3 | Defense by Indemnifying Party. In the event of a claim or demand asserted by a
third party (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnifying Party acting through the
Indemnification Representative, if applicable, shall have the right, but not the
obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within 10 days of
the date of the Notice of Claim concerning the commencement or assertion of any
Third Party Claim, to assume in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the
Indemnifying Party gives such notice of intent to defend, the Indemnifying Party shall

Indemnified Party against the matter with counsel compensated by and chosen by
Indemnifying Party, which choice of counsel is subject to the reasonable satisfaction of Indemnified Party; (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at the sole cost and expense of Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; and (iv) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the mattrer, or enter into any settlement that 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. If, however, no Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 10 days after Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof, then the Indemnified Party shall defend against, or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter.
