|
(b)
|
ASM Members (in this context, the "Indemnifying Party") shall indemnify and hold harmless MeeMee and its officers and directors (in this context an "Indemnified Party"), from and against any and all Claims suffered by such Indemnified Party resulting from or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by ASM or an ASM Member at the time they were made and, except for representations and warranties that specify a particular date or time (which need only be true and correct as of such date or time), on and as of the applicable Closing Date, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenants or agreements made by ASM or an ASM Member; and (iii) any misrepresentation made by ASM or an ASM Member in this Agreement or any other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with consummating the Merger.

|
(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 (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice of such Third Party Claim ("Notice of Claim") 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,

|

MeeMee Media, Inc. / All Screens Media, LLC
|
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 Third Party Claim for which the Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(b)
|
The Indemnifying Party shall have ten (10) Business Days after the date on which Notice of Claim is given to the Indemnified Party to notify Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend such Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof at the Indemnified Party's sole expense; provided, however, that in the event that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by the Indemnifying Party's counsel of both the Indemnifying and Indemnified Party could reasonably be expected to present counsel with a conflict of interest, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred in the defense of such Third Party Claim and any counterclaims asserted in response thereto. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, to defend the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to participate in the defense of, or to defend, the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnified Party's defense of or its participation in the defense of any the Third Party Claim shall not in any way diminish or lessen the obligations of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party as set forth in this Article IX; and (iii) the Indemnified Party may not settle any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
|
(c)

|
MeeMee Media, Inc. / All Screens Media, LLC
|
involve a claim by a third party ("Direct Claim(s)"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice of such Direct 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 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 the Direct Claim, such Direct Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such claim to the Indemnified Party on demand, or in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim is finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such Direct Claim in a timely manner, the Indemnifying Party 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 10.09.
Section 9.7 Limitations on Indemnification; Right of Offset. No claim for indemnification under this Article IX shall be asserted and no liability for such indemnification shall be enforced against the Indemnifying Party to the extent that the Indemnified Party has theretofore received indemnification or otherwise been compensated for such Claim. In the event that an Indemnified Party shall later recover or receive any amount in respect of the Claim (whether under insurance policies or otherwise) for which it has previously received payments from the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party such amount recovered. MeeMee shall have the right of offset against any shares of MeeMee Common Stock held by an ASM Member for any indemnity claim that MeeMee may have against the ASM Member, and MeeMee may place a stop transfer order on such shares of MeeMee Common Stock until such time as the indemnity claims are resolved and satisfied by such ASM Member.

Section 10.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators, provided, however, that no Party may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto.

5.1 Organization and Qualification. Debtor is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Debtor has the requisite power and lawful authority to carry on its business as it is now being conducted or contemplated to be conducted. Debtor is duly qualified as a foreign limited liability company to transact business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties, owned or leased, or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary.
5.2 Authorization; Execution and Delivery. The execution and delivery of this Note and the Security Agreement (the "Transaction Documents") by Debtor and the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability action in accordance with applicable law.

The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the consummation by Debtor of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents do not and will not (a) violate any provision of Debtor's organizational documents; (b) violate any law or order applicable to Debtor or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound; or (c) constitute a default under any material agreement or contract by which Debtor may be bound.

6.3 Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified solely upon the written consent of Debtor and Holder.

6.4 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Note shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally by hand or by courier, mailed by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or sent by electronic mail directed (a) if to Holder, at Holder's address, facsimile number or electronic mail address set forth on the signature page hereto, or at such other address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as such Holder may designate by ten (10) days' advance written notice to Debtor or (b) if to Debtor, to its address, facsimile number or electronic mail address and directed to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer.

Each party to this Note hereby represents and warrants to the other party that it has had an opportunity to seek the advice of its own independent legal counsel with respect to the provisions of this Note and that its decision to execute this Note is not based on any reliance upon the advice of any other party or its legal counsel.

This Note may be assigned or transferred by the Holder after the termination of the Merger Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, the rights and obligations of Debtor and the Holder of this Note shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, administrators and transferees of the parties.

Each such Note shall in all other respects be in the same form and be treated the same as this Note and all references herein to this Note shall apply to each such Note.
6.9 Validity. Any provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Note or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

All corporate action on the part of the Debtor necessary for the authorization execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Debtor has been taken. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Debtor and each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Debtor, enforceable against the Debtor in accordance with its respective terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, and to limitations of public policy.
5.10. No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the Debtor of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of any other transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents do not and will not (i) result in the violation of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental authority to or by which the Debtor is bound, (ii) conflict with or violate any provision of the Debtor's Articles of Organization, as amended, or Operating Agreement, and (iii) conflict with, or result in a material breach or violation of, any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without due notice, lapse of time or both) under any agreement, credit facility, lease, loan agreement, mortgage, security agreement, trust indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Debtor is a party or by which Debtor is bound or to which any of Debtor's properties or assets is subject.
5.11. Title and Validity. Debtor has good and valid title to all of the assets owned by the Debtor which are part of the Collateral. Debtor has not granted any other party any lien or security interest in or to the Collateral. The Security Agreement creates a valid and subsisting first-priority security interest and lien against the Collateral in favor of Secured Party.
6. Authorized Action by Secured Party. Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) and agrees that Secured Party may perform (but Secured Party shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Debtor or any third party for failure to perform) any act which Debtor is obligated by this Security Agreement to perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as Debtor might exercise with respect to the Collateral, including the right (a) to collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral; (b) to enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in exchange for the Collateral; (c) to make any compromise or settlement, and take any action Secured Party deems advisable, with respect to the Collateral; (d) to file a copy of this Security Agreement with any governmental agency, body or authority, at the sole cost and expense of Debtor; (e) to insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (f) to pay any indebtedness of Debtor relating to the Collateral; (g) to execute and file UCC financing statements and other documents, certificates, instruments and agreements with respect to the Collateral or as otherwise required or permitted hereunder; and (h) to take any and all appropriate action and execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement; provided, however, that Secured Party shall not exercise any such powers granted pursuant to clauses (a) through (c) above prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and shall only exercise such powers during the continuance of an Event of Default. The powers conferred on Secured Party under this Section 6 are solely to protect Secured Party's interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that Secured Party actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Secured Party nor any of Secured Party's stockholders, directors, officers, managers, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act. Nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed an authorization for Debtor to take any action that it is otherwise expressly prohibited from undertaking by way of any other provision of this Security Agreement.
7. Default and Remedies.
7.1. Default. Debtor shall be deemed in default under this Security Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
7.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the rights of a secured creditor under the UCC, and all rights granted by this Security Agreement and by law, including, but not limited to (a) the right to require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party, and (b) the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Secured Party may enter upon premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the Collateral therefrom. Debtor hereby agrees that fifteen (15) business days' notice of a public sale of any Collateral or notice of the date after which a private sale of any Collateral may take place is reasonable. In addition, Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party's rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, Secured Party's right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of Collateral and to exercise Secured Party's rights and remedies with respect thereto. Secured Party may also have a receiver appointed to take charge of all or any portion of the Collateral and to
exercise all rights of Secured Party under this Security Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Security Agreement, Secured Party may exercise any of Secured Party's rights under this Section 7.2 without demand or notice of any kind. The remedies in this Security Agreement, including without limitation this Section 7.2, are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which Secured Party may be entitled. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power, or remedy will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. All of Secured Party's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Security Agreement or by any other agreement, instrument or document shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.
7.3. Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would fulfill Secured Party's duties under the UCC in Secured Party's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on Secured Party
that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.
7.4. Marshalling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future Collateral for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or to resort to such Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of Secured Party's rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such Collateral and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of Collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party's rights and remedies under this Security Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
7.5. Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Secured Party at the time of, or received by Secured Party after, the occurrence of an Event of Default) shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys' fees, incurred or made hereunder by Secured Party;
(b) Second, to the payment to Secured Party of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Note (to be applied first to accrued interest and second to outstanding principal); and
(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Debtor, its successors and assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon Debtor or Secured Party under this Security Agreement shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given if and as when given as provided in the Note.
8.2. Nonwaiver. No failure or delay on Secured Party's part in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right.
8.3. Amendments and Waivers. This Security Agreement may not be amended or modified, nor may any of its terms be waived, except by written instruments signed by Debtor and Secured Party. Each waiver or consent under any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific instances for the purpose for which given.
8.4. Assignment. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Secured Party and Debtor and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Debtor may not sell, assign or delegate rights and obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Secured Party.
8.5. Cumulative Rights, etc. The rights, powers and remedies of Secured Party under this Security Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Secured Party by virtue of any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, or the Note, all of which rights, powers, and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Secured Party's rights hereunder. Debtor waives any right to require Secured Party to proceed against any person or entity or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue any remedy in Secured Party's power.
8.6. Partial Invalidity. If any part of this Security Agreement is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
8.7. Expenses. Debtor shall pay on demand all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Secured Party in connection with the custody, preservation or sale of, or other realization on, any of the Collateral or the enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Obligations which are not performed as and when required by this Security Agreement.
8.8. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement and the Note, taken together, constitute and contain the entire agreement of Debtor and Secured Party with respect to this particular matter and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, understandings and communications between the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof.
8.9. Governing Law; Venue. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the parties expressly agree that this Security Agreement shall be governed solely by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws. Debtor hereby expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in or about Las Vegas, Nevada, for any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Security Agreement, waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any argument that venue in any such forum is not convenient, and agrees that any such action or proceeding shall only be venued in such courts.
8.10. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be signed in counterparts and transmitted by one Party to the other via email in PDF or FAX. Said counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one agreement. If this Security Agreement is signed in counterparts, neither Party shall be bound by this Security Agreement until both Parties have duly executed a counterpart hereof.
8.11. Termination of Security Interest. Upon the payment in full of all Obligations, the security interest granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Debtor. Upon such termination, Secured Party hereby authorizes Debtor to file any UCC termination statements necessary to effect such termination and Secured Party shall promptly
execute and deliver to Debtor any additional documents or instruments as Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Secured Party and Debtor have caused this Security Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first above written.
