Mesa agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PCD and each of PCD’s Members and employees, Affiliates and agents from and against any loss, claim, liability, cost, expense or other damages, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (a “PCD Loss”), which is caused by or arises out of: (a) any breach or default in the performance by Mesa of any covenant or agreement made by Mesa in this Agreement; (b) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Mesa in this Agreement; and (c) any and all Litigation incident to any of the foregoing, subject in each instance to any limitations contained herein. Any indemnification subject to this Section 5.3 shall be reduced by (i) any amounts recovered by PCD under insurance policies or (ii) any tax benefit received by PCD, relating to any such PCD Loss.

5.4 Mesa’s Indemnification. PCD and the Members, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Mesa, and each of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents from and against any loss, claim, liability, cost, expense or other damages (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (a “Mesa Loss”) which is caused by or arises out of: (a) any breach or default in the performance by PCD or the Members of any covenant or agreement made by PCD or the Members in this Agreement; (b) any breach of any representation or warranty made by PCD or the Members in this Agreement; (c) any liability arising out of the ownership or operation of the Business or Purchased Assets prior to the Closing other than the Assumed Liabilities; (d) any Excluded Liability; and (e) any and all Litigation incident to any of the foregoing, subject in each instance to any limitations contained herein.

5.5 Indemnity Procedure. A party or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”. PCD Losses or Mesa Losses are referred to herein as “Losses”.

(a) An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within twenty (20) calendar days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give written notice as soon as practicable to the Indemnifying Party after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, event or condition which may give rise to a claim for indemnity. Any failure to give such notice shall waive any rights of the Indemnified Party to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party’s approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim as between it and the third party, subject to any right of appeal. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election does not, proceed in a commercially diligent manner to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its reasonable discretion. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnifying Party if such settlement involves equitable relief or would have a material adverse effect on the Indemnifying Party (unless Indemnifying Party does not respond or otherwise act in good faith). In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim.

(c) The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.

(d) With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that there is no dispute as to the applicability of indemnification and provided that the Indemnifying Party is responsible under Subsection (b) above for the fees of the Indemnified Party’s separate legal counsel, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party if such expenses are a liability of the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified Party if Indemnifying Party agrees with such assertion or five (5) days subsequent to the entry of the judgment against Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period .

5.6 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.

(a) The maximum aggregate indemnification for all Losses of an Indemnified Party shall be limited to 75% of the sum of the Closing Payment and Holdback Amount. The maximum aggregate indemnification of an Indemnified Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall in a timely fashion submit a claim to its insurance carrier with respect to any Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder.

(b) An Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify against Losses of the Indemnified Party until the aggregate amount of Losses exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Indemnification Threshold”), in which event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to such indemnification from the Indemnifying Party for all Losses; provided, however, that the Indemnification Threshold shall not apply to Losses which are caused by or arise out of any fraudulent act of the Indemnifying Party or Losses that are caused by or arise out of any intentional breach in the performance by the Indemnifying Party of any covenant or agreement made by the Indemnifying Party in this Agreement.

5.7 Noncompetition; No-Hire; Confidentiality. As an inducement to Mesa to enter into this Agreement, in partial consideration of the Purchase Price and as a condition to Closing, PCD and its Members, have entered into noncompetition; no-hire; and confidentiality agreements in the forms of Exhibit G attached hereto and made a part hereof.

5.8 Customer and Other Business Relationships. During the term of the Transition Services Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit H PCD shall cooperate with Mesa in Mesa’s efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Mesa those business relationships of the Business existing prior to the Closing, including relationships with regulatory authorities, licensors, customers, and suppliers, provided that, to the extent such cooperation requires the expenditure of money, Mesa will promptly reimburse PCD for any sums so spent unless such expenditures are required for performance under the Transition Services Agreement.

5.9 Further Assurances. The Parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other and with their respective Representatives in connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and shall (a) furnish upon request to each other such further information reasonably requested; (b) execute and deliver to each other such other reasonably requested documents; and (c) do such other acts and things, all as the other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

5.10 Bulk Sales Compliance. The Parties mutually agree to waive compliance with California Commercial Code Sections 6101, et seq.

5.11 Sole Remedy. Indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall be a Party’s sole remedy for the other Party’s breach of its representations and warranties hereunder.

5.12 Consents. Neither PCD nor the Members shall have any liability for not obtaining consents relating to the Business Contracts.

5.13 Taxes. Mesa shall be responsible for all sales taxes relating to the transactions contemplated herein.

Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party agrees to pay, without right of reimbursement from the other Party, the costs incurred by it incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, costs incident to the preparation of this Agreement, and the fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants and consultants employed by such Party in connection herewith.

8.9 Headings. The table of contents and the section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provisions of this Agreement.

8.10 Other Remedies; Injunctive Relief. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage might occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties may be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In any action at law or suit in equity to enforce this Agreement or the rights of the Parties hereunder, the prevailing Party in any such action or suit may be entitled to receive a reasonable sum for its attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such action or suit.

8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile signatures shall be deemed valid and binding.

8.12 Remedies Exclusive.

8.13 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be entered into and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to such state’s principles of conflicts of laws. Local and state courts situated within Jefferson County, Colorado, and the federal district court situated within Denver, Colorado shall have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to matters arising out of or related to this Agreement, unless disputes arising from or related to the Agreement are brought forth by Mesa in which case the Agreement would be interpreted and enforced in accordance with California law, and the federal and state courts in Santa Xxxxx County, California shall have exclusive jurisdiction. The parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any judgment entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in respect hereof brought in such court as provided herein, and further irrevocably waive any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in accordance herewith has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

8.14 Participation of Parties. The Parties hereby agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding, or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

8.15 Further Assurances. The Parties hereto shall deliver any and all other instruments or documents reasonably required to be delivered pursuant to, or necessary or proper in order to give effect to, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, all necessary instruments of transfer as may be necessary or desirable to transfer full and complete ownership of the Purchase Assets free and clear of any liens or Encumbrances.
