Benefit Plan has, in fact, been qualified under the applicable section of the
Internal Revenue Code from the effective date of such Employee Benefit Program
through and including the date hereof (or, if earlier, the date that all of such
Employee Benefit Program’s assets were distributed). The Company has
no knowledge of any event or omission that has caused or would cause any such
Employee Benefit Program to lose its qualification under the applicable section
of the Internal Revenue Code, and each asset held under any such Employee
Benefit Program may be liquidated or terminated without the imposition of any

document, or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith or
therewith (which representations and warranties, for purposes of determining
whether a breach has occurred under this Section 10.2, shall
be construed without giving effect to any qualification or exception contained

inaccuracy, or any breach or inaccuracy alleged by a third party, in any

Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim or the
commencement of such action, suit, or proceeding. The written notice
shall include the nature, amount, and cause of any claim for indemnification in
reasonable detail. The failure to give such notice shall not affect
the Indemnified Party’s right to seek indemnification from the Indemnifying
Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual
prejudice as a result of such failure.
-27-

reimburse the Indemnified Party for the losses and defense costs suffered or
incurred by the Indemnified Party, whether by judgment, order, award,
settlement, compromise, or otherwise, including but not limited to all
expenses. Amerivon shall have the exclusive election to settle,
compromise, or defend by its own counsel any claim at its expense if it is the
Indemnifying Party or at the Company’s expense if it is an Indemnified Party;
provided that if Amerivon is the Indemnified Party, it may not settle or
compromise any claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written
consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided further that if Amerivon is the Indemnified Party, it may settle or
compromise any claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent if
the Indemnifying Party fails or refuses to provide or pay for a
defense. The Indemnified Party may elect to be represented by its own
legal counsel at its own expense. The Company shall use its best

Agreement and each of its provisions shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective administrators,

sentence, the Company may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder

12.5 Law
Governing. This
Agreement has been negotiated, executed, and delivered and shall be performed in
the State of Nevada and shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard for its conflict
of laws rules. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada and the United States District
Court situated in the State of Nevada for the purposes of construing and
enforcing this Agreement.
12.6 Attorneys’
Fees. Should
a lawsuit or arbitration be commenced to interpret or enforce the terms of this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover costs and
attorneys’ fees in addition to any other recovery to which such party may be
entitled.
12.7 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, including by facsimile
transmission, all of which together shall constitute a single
instrument.
12.8 Severability of
Provisions. In
the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
12.9 Integration. This
Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the
parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and supersedes all
pre-
-31-
vious
communications, representations, or understandings, either oral or written,
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, all of which are
merged herein.
12.10 Expenses. Except
as otherwise set forth herein, each party shall bear all of its own expenses
incurred in negotiating and performing this Agreement.
12.11 No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Other
than as expressly provided herein, the terms of this Agreement are intended to

be created in favor of any shareholder or creditor of a party hereto or in favor

12.12 Further
Assurances. Upon
the request of Amerivon at any time or from time to time, the Company shall
promptly execute and deliver to Amerivon any and all additional documents and
instruments and shall promptly perform any and all acts as may be reasonably
necessary to more fully carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan
Documents, and the agreements, documents, and instruments executed and delivered
in connection herewith or therewith.
12.13 Relationship Between the
Company and Amerivon. The
Company and Amerivon intend and agree that the relationship created under the
Loan Documents shall be solely that of debtor and creditor and corporation and
minority shareholder. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents shall
ever be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common,
joint tenancy, or co-ownership relationship between the Company and Amerivon, or
as creating for Amerivon any interest in the Company or its assets other
than the liens and security interests as provided in the Loan Documents securing
the Note and interest as a minority shareholder. The Company agrees
that Amerivon shall not be responsible or liable for any of the debts, losses,
obligations, or duties of the Company. Consistent with the provisions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Company shall at all times
be free to determine and to follow its own policies and practices in the conduct
of its business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of
the Loan Documents, Amerivon shall have (i) no obligation to make future loan,
advance, or financing to or investment in the Company, and (ii) no liability
whatsoever to the Company or any other party if Amerivon does not make any loan,
advance, or financing to or investment in the Company.
12.14 Arbitration. If
any dispute arises concerning the interpretation, validity, or performance of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (excluding the Note and the
Security Agreement) or any of their respective terms and provisions, including
but not limited to the issue of whether or not a dispute is arbitrable, (i) if
the amount claimed by a party is equal to or less than the jurisdictional limit
of the Nevada Small Claims Court, then the parties shall resolve such matter in
the Nevada Small Claims Court, or (ii) if the amount claimed by the party
exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Nevada Small Claims Court, then the
parties shall submit such dispute for binding determination before a retired
judge selected from J.A.M.S., Inc. or any similar organization mutually
acceptable to the parties. The parties shall mutually agree on one
arbitrator from the list provided by the arbitrating organization; provided that
if the parties cannot agree, then each party shall select one arbitrator from
the list, and the two arbitrators so selected shall agree upon a third
arbitrator chosen from the same list, which third arbitrator shall
determine the dispute. The arbitration shall take place in Nevada (or
if the arbitrating organization does not have an office in Nevada, then at the
office of the arbitrating organization nearest to Amerivon’s address set forth
in Section
12.3) and shall be conducted in accordance with the then prevailing rules
of the arbitrating organization,
-32-
except as
set forth in this Section
12.14. The parties shall have all rights for depositions and
discovery as provided to litigants by Nevada law. The arbitrator
shall apply Nevada substantive, procedural, and evidence law to the
proceeding. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant all legal
and equitable remedies including provisional remedies and award compensatory
damages provided by Nevada law, but the arbitrator may not order relief in
excess of what a court could order. The arbitrator shall not have
authority to award punitive or exemplary damages. The arbitrator
shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning or to make
findings of fact except upon sufficiency of the evidence and any award may be
vacated or corrected for any such error. The arbitrator shall prepare
and provide the parties with a written award including factual findings and the
legal reasoning upon which the award is based. The arbitrator shall
award costs and attorneys’ fees in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties understand that
by agreement to binding arbitration they are giving up the rights they may
otherwise have to a trial by a court or a jury and all rights of appeal, and to
an award of punitive or exemplary damages. Pending resolution of any
arbitration proceeding and selection of an arbitrator, either party may apply to
any court of competent jurisdiction for any provisional remedy, including but
not limited to a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction but
excluding any dispute relating to discovery matters, and for enforcement of any
such order. The application for or enforcement of any provisional
remedy by a party shall not operate as a waiver of the within agreement to
submit a dispute to binding arbitration. If any dispute arises
concerning this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the Note and
the Security Agreement) and the Note or the Security Agreement, then the dispute
shall be bifurcated, such that the right to arbitration under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents other than the Note and the Security Agreement shall be
preserved, and the right to judicial resolution under the Note and the Security
Agreement shall be preserved.
12.15 Construction. The
headings in the sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and
shall not constitute a part hereof. All references to numbered
sections contained herein refer to the sections and subsections of this
Agreement unless otherwise expressly stated. Whenever the context so
requires, the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter, the singular
shall include the plural, and conversely. The words “include,”
“includes,” and “including” are to be read as if they were followed by the
phrase “without limitation.” The terms and all parts of this
Agreement shall in all cases be interpreted simply and according to their plain
meaning and neither for nor against any party hereto.
