the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Seller's
representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

condition, to hold the Purchase Consideration for an indefinite period of
time and to suffer a complete loss on such Purchase Consideration.

OF ANY STATE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR

AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO

(c) any operations or business conducted, commitment made, service
rendered or condition existing or any action taken or omitted by or on
behalf of Seller, except for any claims for which Purchaser is required to
indemnify Seller pursuant to Section 7.2 herein;
(d) any claim by any person for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions
or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to
have been made by any such person with Seller (or any person acting on its
behalf) in connection with any of the transactions contemplated herein;
and
(e) Seller's failure to comply with the "Bulk Sales Laws" under the
Uniform Commercial Code;
provided, however, that (i) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify
Purchaser for Damages until the aggregate Damages exceed $20,000 and, in such
event, for the full amount of such Damages, (ii) Seller' aggregate liability for
Damages shall in no event exceed the Purchase Consideration, and (iii) Seller
shall have no obligation to indemnify Purchaser for any claims made by Purchaser
under this Section 7.1 after eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.
7.2 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold
harmless Seller, and shall reimburse Seller for any Damages arising from or in
connection with:
(a) any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of
Purchaser in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement, or any actions, omissions or state of facts
inconsistent with any such representation or warranty (for purposes of
this clause (a), each schedule and exhibit to this Agreement shall be
deemed a representation and warranty);
(b) any failure by Purchaser to perform or comply with any agreement made
by it under this Agreement;
(c) any claim by any person for brokerage or finder's fees or commissions
or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to
have been made by such person with Purchaser (or any person acting on its
behalf, regardless of whether such person purported to act on behalf of
Seller) in connection with any of the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement; and
(d) obligations with respect to any product liability associated with the
Equipment for the period after the Closing Date;
provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify
Seller for Damages until the aggregate Damages exceed $20,000 and, in such
event, for the full amount of such Damages, (ii) Purchaser's aggregate liability
for Damages shall in no event exceed the Purchase consideration, and (iii)
Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify Seller for any claims made by
any Seller under this Section 7.2 after eighteen (18) months after the Closing
Date.
7.3 Procedure for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof of notice of the commencement
of any action or assertion of any claim, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under such
Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement or assertion
thereof, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve
it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the
extent the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is
materially prejudiced thereby. If any such action shall be brought against an
indemnified party and it shall give notice to the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under such Section for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in
each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If an
indemnifying party assumes the defense of such an action:
(a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the
indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent which shall not
be unreasonably withheld unless (i) there is no finding or admission of
any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no
effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party
and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in
full by the indemnifying party; and
(b) the indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any
compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent. If notice
is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any action and it
does not, within ten (10) business days after the indemnified party's
notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to
assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be bound by any
determination made in such action or any compromise or settlement thereof
effected by the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an
indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable
probability that an action may materially and adversely affect it or its
affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages, such indemnified
party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right
to defend, compromise or settle such action at its cost or expense, but
the indemnifying party shall not be bound by any determination of an
action so defended or any compromise or settlement thereof effected
without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
