5.7 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”.
(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 thirty (30) calendar days of
the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) 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 prompt written notice to the
Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided,
however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party
except 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. 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 might have an
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, unless the named parties to any
proceeding include both parties and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election
does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, proceed diligently 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 discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that
the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. 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.
19
With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such
indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier 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, 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.

Covenants

the Confidential Information of the other Parties, refrain from using any of the Confidential
Information except in connection with this Agreement, and unless there is a closing on the
Exchange, deliver promptly to the owner of such Confidential Information or destroy, at the request
and option of the owner of the Confidential Information, all tangible embodiments (and all copies)
of the Confidential Information which are in its possession. In the event that any of the Parties
is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal
proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose
any Confidential Information, that Party will notify the affected Party promptly of the request or
requirement so that the affected Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance
with the provisions of this Section 7.1. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt
of a waiver hereunder, any of the Parties is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any
Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, that Party may disclose
the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing Party shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request of the affected Party, an order
or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential
Information required to be disclosed as the affected Party shall designate. The foregoing
provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is generally available to the
public immediately prior to the time of disclosure.
7.2 Tax Treatment. Neither the Company, InterPay nor the InterPay Shareholders will
knowingly take any action, written or otherwise, which would result in the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement not being accounted for as tax-free exchange under the Code.
7.3 General. In case at any time after the Closing Date any further action is
necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further
action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any
other Party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the
requesting Party (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under
Article V).
