Internal
Controls
|
JAG is in
compliance with the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 currently
applicable to JAG. JAG maintains a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are
executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorizations;
(ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and to maintain asset accountability;
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general
or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences. JAG has established
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and
15d-14) for JAG and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure
that material information relating to JAG is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which JAG' most recently filed period report under the Exchange Act, as the case
may be, is being prepared. JAG' certifying officers have evaluated
the effectiveness of JAG' controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (the
"Evaluation
Date"). JAG presented in its most recently filed periodic
report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their
evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date,
there have been no significant changes in JAG' internal controls (as such term
is defined in Item 307 of Regulation S-B) or, to the best knowledge of JAG, in
other factors that could significantly affect JAG' internal
controls.

for any fiscal period or audits by any federal, state or local taxing authority
except for any assessment which is not material to JAG and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole. All taxes and other assessments and levies that JAG
or any Subsidiary is required to withhold or to collect for payment have been

Period"). The Indemnifier's right to do so shall be subject to

own expenses of participating in or assuming such defence. The
Indemnified Party shall co-operate in good faith in the defence of each Third
Party Claim, even if the defence has been assumed by the Indemnifier and may
participate in such defence assisted by counsel of its own choice at its own
expense. The Indemnifier shall not enter into any compromise or
settlement of any Third Party Claim without obtaining the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party has not received notice

of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, elect to
settle or compromise the Third Party Claim or assume such defence, assisted by

documents, records and other materials in the possession of such party

subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defence of

reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within
thirty (30) days after receiving notice from the Indemnified Party that the
Indemnified Party bona
fide believes on reasonable grounds that the Indemnifier has failed to
take such steps, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, elect to assume the
defence of and to compromise or settle the Third Party Claim assisted by counsel
of its own choosing and the Indemnifier shall be liable for all reasonable costs
and expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith. Without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifier shall not
thereafter enter into any compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim

Claims

thirty (30) days within which to respond in writing to such Direct
Claim. If the Indemnifier does not so respond within such thirty (30)
day period, the Indemnifier shall be deemed to have rejected such Direct Claim,
and in such event the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as
may be available to the Indemnified Party.
6.10
|
Failure
to Give Timely Notice
|
A failure
to give timely notice as provided in this Article 6 shall not affect the rights
or obligations of any party, except and only to the extent that, as a result of
such failure, any party which was entitled to receive such notice was deprived
of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or
was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such
failure.

|
Reductions
and Subrogation
|
If the
amount of any Loss at any time subsequent to the making of an Indemnity Payment

insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by
or against any other person, the amount of such reduction (less any costs,
expenses (including taxes) or premiums incurred in connection therewith),
together with interest thereon from the date of payment thereof at the Prime
Rate, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the
Indemnifier. Upon making a full Indemnity Payment, the Indemnifier
shall, to the extent of such Indemnity Payment, be subrogated to all rights of
the Indemnified Party against any third party that is not an affiliate of the
Indemnified Party in respect of the Loss to which the Indemnity Payment relates,
but only if the Indemnifier shall then be in compliance with its obligations
under this Agreement in respect of such Loss. Until the Indemnified
Party recovers full payment of its Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnifier
against any such third party on account of such Indemnity Payment shall be
