pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such option in full immediately
prior to the Effective Time (rounded up to the nearest whole number) (the

As soon
as practicable after the Effective Time, Omni shall deliver to the party
entitled thereto certificates evidencing the Merger Shares. From and after

of
the number of full shares of Omni Common Stock into which such shares of the
Company Common Stock shall have been so converted.

7

receive the Merger Shares, and holders of such shares of Company Common Stock
will be entitled, in lieu thereof, to receive payment of the appraised value
of
such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the
BCA
unless and until such holders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or lose
their rights to appraisal and payment under the BCA. If, after the Effective
Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such
right, such shares of Company Common Stock will thereupon be treated as if
they
had been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger
Shares, without any interest thereon. The Company will give Omni prompt notice
of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common
Stock. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will not, except with the prior

settle, any such demands.

INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Indemnification
by the Company.
The
Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless (i) Omni, (ii) each of Omni’s
assigns and successors in interest to the Company Shares, and (iii) each of
their respective current, former and future shareholders, members, partners,
directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, attorneys and representatives,
from and against any and all Losses which may be incurred or suffered by any
such party and which may arise out of or result from any inaccuracy in or breach
of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company
contained in this Agreement or in any document or other writing delivered
pursuant thereto. All claims to be asserted hereunder must be made by the
fifteenth month following the Closing.
9.2 Indemnification
by the Omni Parties.
The
Omni Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and each
of
the Company Shareholders from and against any and all Losses which may be
incurred or suffered by any such party hereto and which may arise out of or
result from (a) any inaccuracy in or any breach of any material representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement of the Omni Parties contained in this Agreement
or in any document or other writing delivered pursuant thereto, or (b) any
claim
that the Merger or transfer was improper, invalid or void. All claims to be
asserted hereunder must be made by
the
fifteenth month following the Closing.
9.3 Notice
to Indemnifying Party.
If any
party (the “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of any claim or other
commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which any other party
(or parties) (the “Indemnifying Party”) is obligated to provide indemnification
pursuant to Sections 9.1 or 9.2, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give
the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof, which notice shall specify in
reasonable detail, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the
liability arising therefrom and the basis of the claim. Such notice shall be
a
condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party for
indemnification hereunder, but the failure of the Indemnified Party to give
prompt notice of a claim shall not adversely affect the Indemnified Party’s
right to indemnification hereunder unless the defense of that claim is
materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall not settle
or
compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to
indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless suit shall
have been instituted against it and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken
control of such suit after notification thereof as provided in
Section 9.4.
23
9.4 Defense
by Indemnifying Party.
In
connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from
or
arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person who is not a party
to
this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon
written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim
or
legal proceeding (i) if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing
its
obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements
of
such claim (subject to any limitations on such liability contained in this
Agreement) and (ii) if it provides assurances, reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, that it will be financially able to satisfy such claims
in
full if the same are decided adversely. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the
defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, it may use counsel of its choice
to prosecute such defense, subject to the approval of such counsel by the
Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
In this regard, Xxxx & Xxxxx, P.C. is hereby approved by Omni as counsel to
the Company (in its capacity as the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such
action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that if
the
Indemnified Party, in its sole discretion, determines that there exists a
conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party (or any constituent party
thereof) and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party (or any constituent
party thereof) shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable
costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnified Party. If the
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding,
the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary to pursue the resolution
thereof in a prompt and diligent manner. The Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to consent to a settlement of, or the stipulation of any judgment
arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, with the consent of the
Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided, however, that no such consent shall be required from the Indemnified
Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all Losses arising
out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof
(as well as all other Losses theretofore incurred by the Indemnified Party
which
then remain unpaid or unreimbursed), (ii) in the case of a settlement, the
settlement is conditioned upon a complete release by the claimant of the
Indemnified Party and (iii) such settlement or judgment does not require the
encumbrance of any asset of the Indemnified Party or impose any restriction
upon
its conduct of business.
ARTICLE
X
TERMINATION
10.1 Termination.
This
Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be
abandoned, at any time prior to the Effective Time.
(a) by
mutual
written agreement of Omni and the Company hereto duly authorized by action
taken
by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors; or
(b) by
either
the Company or Omni upon notification to the non terminating party by the
terminating party:
24
(i) if
the
terminating party is not in material breach of its obligations under this
Agreement and there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement on the part of the non terminating party set forth in
this
Agreement such that the conditions in Sections 7.1, 7.2, 8.1 or 8.2 will not
be
satisfied; provided, however, that if such breach is curable by the non
terminating party and such cure is reasonably likely to be completed prior
to
the date specified in Section 10.1(b)(ii), then, for so long as the non
terminating party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect
and
cure, the terminating party may not terminate pursuant to this
Section 10.1(b)(i);
(ii) if
the
Closing has not transpired on or before 45 days from the date hereof;
or
(iii) if
any
court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental or Regulatory
Authority shall have issued an order making illegal or otherwise permanently
restricting, preventing or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and such order
shall
have become final and nonappealable.
10.2 Effect
of Termination.
If this
Agreement is validly terminated by either the Company or Omni pursuant to
Section 10.1, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void and there
will be no liability or obligation on the part of the parties hereto other
than
the obligations under Section 5.3, Section 6.2 and Section 11.12, except that
nothing contained herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for
willful breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained in this Agreement.
