Act. Each XXXX Owner represents and warrants that he or she has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of

Owner's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such XXXX Owner set forth herein in order
to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such
XXXX Owner to acquire the Common Stock. Each XXXX Owner represents and warrants
to RSD and XXXX that any information the XXXX Owner has heretofore furnished or
furnishes herewith to RSD and XXXX is complete and accurate, and further

Section
8.3 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) Upon
obtaining knowledge of any Claim by a third party which has given rise to, or is
expected to give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified
Party shall give written notice ("Notice of Claim") of such claim or demand to
the Indemnifying Party, specifying in reasonable detail such information as the
Indemnified Party may have with respect to such indemnification claim (including
copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on
it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing
or asserting the same). No failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the
performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of
the Indemnifying Party to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless,
except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have actually adversely
affected the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend against, settle or satisfy
any Claims for which the Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification
hereunder.
(b) If
the claim or demand set forth in the Notice of Claim given by an Indemnified
Party pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof is a claim or demand asserted by a third
party, the Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days after the date on
which Notice of Claim is given to notify Indemnified Party in writing of their
election to defend such third party claim or demand on behalf of the Indemnified
Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or
demand, Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its
agents and representatives all records and other materials that are reasonably
required in the defense of such third party claim or demand and shall otherwise
cooperate with, and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense of, such third
party claim or demand. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending such third
party claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, settle or
compromise such third party claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party elects to
defend such third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the
right to participate in the defense of such third party claim or demand, at such
Indemnified Party's own expense. In the event, however, that such Indemnified
Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying
Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party could reasonably
be expected to present counsel with a conflict of interest, then the Indemnified
Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action
or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees and expenses of such
counsel. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend such third party
claim or demand or does not defend such third party claim or demand in good
faith, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other
right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, to
defend such third party claim or demand; provided, however, that (i) such
Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to participate in the defense
of, or defend, any such third party claim or demand; (ii) such Indemnified
Party's defense of or its participation in the defense of any such third party
claim or demand shall not in any way diminish or lessen the obligations of the
Indemnifying Party under the agreements of indemnification set forth in this
Article VIII; and (iii) such Indemnified Party may not settle any claim without
the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
(c) The
Indemnifying Party and the other Indemnified Parties, if any, shall cooperate
fully in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pre-trial in respect of
which indemnity is sought pursuant to this Article VIII, including, but not
limited to, by providing the other party with reasonable access to employees and
officers (including as witnesses) and other information.
(d)
Except for third party claims being defended in good faith, the Indemnifying
Party shall satisfy its obligations under this Article VIII in respect of a
valid claim for indemnification hereunder that is not contested by XXXX in good
faith in cash within thirty (30) days after the date on which Notice of Claim is
given.
Section
8.4 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims.
In the
event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification claim against the
Indemnifying Party under this Agreement that does not involve a claim by a third
party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice of such claim to the
Indemnifying Party in writing
and in reasonable detail. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability
that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure. If the
Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen
(15) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying
Party disputes such claim, such claim specified by the Indemnifying Party in
such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party
under this Article VIII and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such
liability to the Indemnified Party on demand, or in the case of any notice in
which the amount of the claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount
of such claim is finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its
liability with respect to such claim in a timely manner, XXXX and the
Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such
dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be
resolved pursuant to Section 10.11.

Section
8.5 Limitations on Indemnification.
No claim
for indemnification under this Article VIII shall be asserted by, and no
liability for such indemnify shall be enforced against, the Indemnifying Party
to the extent the Indemnified Party has theretofore received indemnification or
otherwise been compensated for such Claim. In the event that an Indemnified
Party shall later collect any such amounts recovered under insurance policies
with respect to any Claim for which it has previously received payments under
this Article VIII from the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Party shall
promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party such amount recovered.

for any and all damages incurred or suffered by the other party as a result of
