Page 7 of 13
7.3. Notice and Opportunity to Defend. If there occurs an event which any
Party asserts is an indemnifiable event, the Party seeking indemnification shall
notify the Party obligated to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party")
promptly. If such event involves (i) any claim or (ii) the commencement of any
action or proceeding by a third person, the Party seeking indemnification will
give such Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim or the commencement of
such action or proceeding. Such notice shall be a condition precedent to any
liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. Such Indemnifying Party shall
have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond thereto. If such
Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) days period, such
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to compromise or defend, at its own
expense and by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party shall provide reasonably
satisfactory to the Party seeking indemnity, such matter and the Indemnifying
Party shall provide the Party seeking indemnification with such assurances as
may be reasonably required by the latter to assure that the Indemnifying Party
will assume, and be responsible for, the entire liability issue. If such
Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period and

indemnification shall be free to pursue, without prejudice to any of its rights

liability. In any event, the Party seeking indemnification shall have the right

compromise of such asserted liability by the Indemnifying Party shall require

settlement which the Indemnifying Party wishes to accept, the Party seeking
indemnification may continue to pursue such matter, free of any participation by
the Indemnifying Party, at the sole expense of the Party seeking
indemnification. In such event, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to the
Party seeking indemnification shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of
the offer of settlement which the Party seeking indemnification refused to
accept plus the costs and expenses of such Party prior to the date the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Party seeking indemnification of the offer of
settlement and (ii) the actual out-of-pocket amount the Party seeking
indemnification is obligated to pay as a result of such Party's continuing to
pursue such an offer. An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to recover from
the Party seeking indemnification any additional expenses incurred by such
Indemnifying Party as a result of the decision of the Party seeking
indemnification to pursue such matter.

The Company currently conducts printing and telemarketing activities in the
Philippines, a country with a developing economy. The Philippines have
experienced recently, or are experiencing currently, economic or political
instability. Hyperinflation, volatile exchange rates and rapid political

common in this and certain other emerging markets in which the Company may
conduct operations. The Company may be materially adversely affected by
possible political or economic instability in any one or more of those
countries. The risks include, but are not limited to terrorism, military
repression, expropriation, changing fiscal regimes, extreme fluctuations in
currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation and the absence of
industrial and economic infrastructure. Changes in investment policies or
shifts in the prevailing political climate in any of the countries in which
the Company conducts exploration and development activities could adversely
affect the Company's business. Operations may be affected in varying
degrees by government regulations with respect to production restrictions,
price controls, export controls, income and other taxes, expropriation of
property, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, labor, welfare
benefit policies, land use, land claims of local residents, water use and
mine safety. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.
