Target has not received any notice of default under any contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment or plan to which it is a party, which default has not been cured to the satisfaction of, or duly waived by, the party claiming such default on or before the date hereof.

3.9 Litigation. There is no claim, dispute, action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Target or any Target Member, threatened, against or affecting the business of Target, or challenging the validity or propriety of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, at law or in equity or before any federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental authority, board, agency, commission or instrumentality, nor to the knowledge of Target or any Target Member, has any such claim, dispute, action, suit, proceeding or investigation been pending or threatened, during the twelve month period preceding the date hereof. There is no outstanding judgment, order, writ, ruling, injunction, stipulation or decree of any court, arbitrator or federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental authority, board, agency, commission or instrumentality, against or materially affecting the business of Target.

3.10 Full Disclosure. No representation or warranty by Target or Target Member contained in this Agreement and no statement contained in any document (including financial statements and the Disclosure Schedule), certificate, or other writing furnished by Target or Target Members to Parent or Acquirer or any of their representatives pursuant to the provisions hereof or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, in order to make the statements herein or therein not misleading.

3.11 Brokers. All negotiations relative to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been carried out by Target and Target Members directly without the intervention of any Person on behalf of Target or Target Members in such a manner as to give rise to any valid claim by any Person against Target, Parent or Acquirer for a finder’s fee, brokerage commission or similar payment.

Each Target Member further represents that he does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Consideration Shares.

(b) Each Target Member understands that the offer and sale of the Consideration Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act on the ground that the sale and

the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that Acquirer’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on such Target Member’s representations set forth herein.

(c) Each Target Member represents that he is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the 0000 Xxx.

3.13 Investment Experience. Each Target Member acknowledges that he can bear the economic risk of his investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Consideration Shares.

3.14 Information. Each Target Member has carefully reviewed such information as such Target Member deemed necessary to evaluate an investment in the Consideration Shares. To the full satisfaction of each Target Member, he has been furnished all materials that he has requested relating to Parent and Acquirer and the issuance of the Consideration Shares hereunder, and each Target Member has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of representatives of Parent and Acquirer to obtain any information necessary to verify the accuracy of any representations or information made or given to such Target Member.

3.15 Restricted Securities. Each Target Member understands that the Consideration Shares may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the 1933 Act or an exemption there from, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Consideration Shares or any available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Consideration Shares must be held indefinitely. Each Target Member is aware that the Consideration Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule are met.

Should any such fact or condition require any change in the Target Member Disclosure Schedule if the Target Member Disclosure Schedule were dated the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition, Target Members will promptly deliver to Acquirer a supplement to the Target Members Disclosure Schedule specifying such change. During the same period, each Target Member will promptly notify Acquirer of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of Target Members in this Article IV or of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article VI impossible or unlikely.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival of Covenants, Warranties and Representations. Each of the covenants, representations and warranties of Target, Target Members, Parent and Acquirer in this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in force until the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Termination Date”).

9.2 Limits on Indemnification. The parties hereto agree that any indemnification payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement by any of Target Members on the one hand or Acquirer on the other hand shall be subject to the requirement that no claim may be made until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses (as defined herein) incurred by Target Members on the one hand or Acquirer on the other hand exceeds $5,000.00, at which time such claim for indemnification may be made for the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses. The parties hereto further agree that any indemnification payments to be made by any of Target Members pursuant to a claim arising under Section 9.3(c) herein shall be reduced dollar for dollar by net profits (as determined by generally accepted accounting principals as modified by rules and regulations of the SEC and as consistently applied by Acquirer) earned by Acquirer.

9.3 Indemnification by Target Members. Each of Target Members, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify Parent, Acquirer, Target, and each of their officers, directors, shareholders, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, control persons, successors and assigns against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any of them relating to or arising out of or in connection with any of the following:

(a) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Target Members in this Agreement or any document delivered at the Closing; or

(b) any breach of or failure by any of Target Members to perform any covenant or obligation of such party set out or contemplated in this Agreement or any document delivered at the Closing; or

(c) any judicial or other legally binding determination that any of Parent and Acquirer, or any of their officers, directors, shareholders, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, control persons, successors and assigns, excluding any of the entities listed under Section 3.1(b) of the Target Members Disclosure Schedule (the “Portfolio Companies”), shall be obligated for

any debt, liability or obligation of any of Target or any of the Portfolio Companies, as a result of (i) any acts or omissions by any Person occurring prior to the Closing and (ii) such claim is by any of VISIOMED S.A.S., MEDICALINOV LLC, SIZER CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP, BIGI, LLC, or VISIOMED INTERNATIONAL, INC., or any of their respective equity holders or creditors in their capacity as such.

9.4 Indemnification by Parent. Parent agrees to indemnify each of Target Member against, and agrees to hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by them relating to or arising out of or in connection with any of the following:

(a) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Parent or Acquirer in this Agreement or any document delivered at the Closing;

(b) any breach of or failure by Parent or Acquirer to perform any covenant or obligation set out or contemplated in this Agreement or any document delivered at the Closing.

9.5 Claims. As soon as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified person (“Indemnified Person”) shall promptly give notice to the indemnifying person (“Indemnifying Person”) of such claim and the amount the Indemnified Person will be entitled to receive hereunder from the Indemnifying Person; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Person to promptly give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Person does not object in writing to such indemnification claim within thirty days of receiving notice thereof, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover, on the thirty-fifth day after such notice was given, from the Indemnifying Person the amount of such claim, and no later objection by the Indemnifying Person shall be permitted; if the Indemnifying Person agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but objects that it is obligated to pay only a lesser amount, the Indemnified Person shall nevertheless be entitled to recover, on the thirty-fifth day after such notice was given, from the Indemnifying Person the lesser amount, without prejudice to the Indemnified Person’s claim for the difference.

9.6 Notice of Third-Party Claims; Assumption of Defense. The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Person to promptly give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Person may, at its own expense, (a) participate in the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding and (b) upon notice to the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person’s delivering to the Indemnified Person a written agreement that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification for all Losses arising out of such claim, suit, action or proceeding and that the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the entire amount of any Loss, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Person’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Person upon the Indemnified Person’s reasonable

request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding. If the Indemnifying Person assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person. If, however, the Indemnified Person reasonably determines in its judgment that representation by the Indemnifying Person’s counsel of both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then such Indemnified Person may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding and the Indemnifying Person shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such separate counsel. Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

9.7 Settlement or Compromise. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Person or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, of any claim, suit, action or proceeding shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, however, that no obligation, restriction or Loss shall be imposed on either the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person as a result of such settlement without its prior written consent. The Indemnified Person will give the Indemnifying Person at least thirty days’ notice of any proposed settlement or compromise of any claim, suit, action or proceeding it is defending, during which time the Indemnifying Person may reject such proposed settlement or compromise; provided, however, that from and after such rejection, the Indemnifying Person shall be obligated to assume the defense of and full and complete liability and responsibility for such claim, suit, action or proceeding and any and all Losses in connection therewith in excess of the amount of unindemnifiable Losses which the Indemnified Person would have been obligated to pay under the proposed settlement or compromise.

9.8 Failure of Indemnifying Person to Act. In the event that the Indemnifying Person does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, then any failure of the Indemnified Person to defend or to participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations hereunder.

9.9 Definition. “Loss” or “Losses” means any and all liabilities, losses, costs, claims, damages (including consequential damages), penalties and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs of investigation and litigation). In the event any of the foregoing are indemnifiable herein, the terms “Loss” and “Losses” shall include any and all attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs of investigation and litigation incurred by the Indemnified Person in enforcing such indemnity. No Loss shall be reduced by reason of tax benefits allegedly enjoyed as a result of such Loss by any Indemnified Party. Without limitation, “Loss” and “Losses” shall include fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by any Indemnified Party in an action or proceeding between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or between the Indemnified Party and any third party or otherwise.
