For this purpose, “Liabilities” shall mean all suits, proceedings, claims, expenses, losses, costs, liabilities, judgments, deficiencies, assessments, actions, investigations, penalties, fines, settlements, interest and damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), whether suit is instituted or not and, if instituted, whether at any trial or appellate level, and whether raised by the parties hereto or a third party, incurred or suffered by the Purchasers Indemnitees or any of them arising from, in connection with or as a result of (a) any false or inaccurate representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the Company in or pursuant to this Agreement; (b) any default or breach in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in or pursuant to this Agreement; (c) the operation of the Company’s business prior to the Closing; (d) any obligation or liability of the Company which is not included in the Company’s financial statements (e) any breach of the contracts prior to the Closing; and (f) any Liabilities arising out of the claims of creditors of the Company or any party claiming by, through or under such creditor, including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy trustee or debtor-in-possession. The indemnification provided for in this section shall survive the Closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and termination of this Agreement for two years following the Closing (the “Indemnification Period”).
9
(b) The Company and Purchasers agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller (the “Seller Indemnitees”) against any Liabilities incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnitees. For this purpose, “Liabilities” shall mean all suits, proceedings, claims, expenses, losses, costs, liabilities, judgments, deficiencies, assessments, actions, investigations, penalties, fines, settlements, interest and damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), whether suit is instituted or not and, if instituted, whether at any trial or appellate level, and whether raised by the parties hereto or a third party, incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnitees or any of them arising from, in connection with or as a result of (a) the operation of the Company’s business following the Closing; (b) any breach of the contracts following the Closing; and (c) any Liabilities arising out of the claims of creditors of the Company or any party claiming by, through or under such creditor, including, but not limited to, any bankruptcy trustee or debtor-in-possession. The indemnification provided for in this section shall survive the Closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and termination of this Agreement for two years following the Closing (the “Indemnification Period”).
(c) Procedure for Indemnification. In the event any person or entity not a party to this Agreement shall make any demand or claim or file or threaten to file or continue any lawsuit, which demand, claim or lawsuit may result in Liabilities, the indemnified party shall give written notice to such effect to the indemnifying party promptly upon becoming aware thereof. In such event, within 20 days after written notice by the indemnified party (the “Notice”) of such demand, claim or lawsuit, the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to take and assume full control of the defense thereof and to hire counsel (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party) to defend any such demand, claim or lawsuit (provided, however, that the failure to give such Notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such failure caused the damages for which the indemnifying party is obligated to be greater than they would otherwise have been had the indemnified party given prompt notice hereunder). Thereafter, the indemnified party shall be permitted to participate in such defense at its sole cost and expense, provided that, if the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or if the indemnifying party proposes that the same counsel represent both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the indemnifying party. In the event that the indemnifying party shall fail to respond within 20 days after receipt of the Notice from the indemnified party of any such demand, claim or lawsuit, then the indemnified party may retain counsel and conduct the defense of such demand, claim or lawsuit, as it may in its sole discretion deem proper, at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying party. With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid in advance of settlement or final adjudication thereof on a current basis within 30 days of receipt from the indemnified party of such supporting documentation as the indemnifying party may reasonably request.

LILM, Inc. (“the Company”)
Exhibit and Schedules

INVESTMENT LETTER
Re: Purchase of shares of Common Stock of the Company
Gentlemen:
In connection with the acquisition by the undersigned of shares of LILM, Inc.’s Common Stock (the “Securities”), the undersigned represents that the Securities are being acquired without a view to, or for, resale in connection with any distribution of such Securities or any interest therein without registration or other compliance under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the undersigned has no direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting of such an undertaking.
The undersigned understands that the Securities have not been registered, but are being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the subject Securities may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and may make the undersigned an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. It is understood that the definition of an “underwriter” focuses on the concept of “distribution” and that any subsequent disposition of the subject Securities can only be effected in transactions which are not considered distributions. Generally, the term “distribution” is considered synonymous with “public offering” or any other offer or sale involving general solicitation or general advertising. Under present law, in determining whether a distribution occurs when securities are sold into the public market, under certain circumstances one must consider the availability of public information regarding the issuer, a holding period for the securities sufficient to assure that the persons desiring to sell the securities without registration first bear the economic risk of their investment, and a limitation on the number of securities which the stockholder is permitted to sell and on the manner of sale, thereby reducing the potential impact of the sale on the trading markets. These criteria are set forth specifically in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. After one year from the date the Securities are fully paid for and the subscription is accepted by the issuer, all as calculated in accordance with Rule 144(d), sales of the Securities in reliance on Rule 144 can only be made in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule. After two year from the date the Securities are fully paid for, as calculated in accordance with Rule 144(d), it can generally be sold without meeting these conditions provided the holder is not (and has not been for the preceding three months) an affiliate of the issuer.
19
Page Two
The undersigned acknowledges that the Securities must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available; the issuer is under no obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or under section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as may be expressly agreed to by it in writing; if Rule 144 is available, and no assurance is given that it will be, initially only routine sales of such Securities in limited amounts can be made in reliance on Rule 144 in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule; the issuer is under no obligation to the undersigned to make Rule 144 available, except as may be expressly agreed to by it in writing; in the event Rule 144 is not available, compliance with Regulation A or some other exemption may be required before the undersigned can sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of such Securities without registration under the Securities Act; the issuer’s registrar and transfer agent will maintain a stop transfer order against the registration of transfer of the Securities; and the certificate representing the Common Stock composing the Securities will bear a legend in substantially the following form so restricting the sale of such Securities.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ARE “RESTRICTED SECURITIES” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
The issuer may refuse to register transfer of the Securities in the absence of compliance with Rule 144 unless the undersigned furnishes the issuer with a “no-action” or interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission or an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the issuer stating that the transfer is proper; further, unless such letter or opinion states that the Securities are free of any restrictions under the Securities Act, the issuer may refuse to transfer the Securities to any transferee who does not furnish in writing to the issuer the same representations and agree to the same conditions with respect to such Securities as are set forth herein. The issuer may also refuse to transfer the Securities if any circumstances are present reasonably indicating that the transferee’s representations are not accurate.
Very truly yours,
Dated:
