(p) The unpaid Taxes of Company (i) did not, as of the most recent fiscal month end, exceed the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Company Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto), and (ii) will not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing in accordance with the past custom and practice of Company in filing its Returns.

(q) No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where Company does not file Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction nor, to the knowledge of Company or any of the Shareholders, is there any factual basis for any such claim.

(a) Schedule 4.15 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a complete listing of all real property now or previously owned, leased, subleased, used or held for use by Company and all real property in or to which Company has any other right or interest, along with a description of such interest therein. Company has a good, marketable and valid fee or leasehold interest, as set forth on such Schedule 4.15, to all real property presently used or held for use in its businesses, free and clear of all encumbrances, other than Taxes and assessments, both general and special, which are a lien but not yet due and payable and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially detract from the value of such real property or materially impair the use and operations thereof. There are no easements, conditions, reservations, covenants or restrictions presently of record or otherwise that would adversely affect the use of any such real property by the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time, including, without limitation, in the operation of the businesses, for the same purposes and uses as such real property has been heretofore used by Company.

Company is not in default under, and no circumstances exist which, if unremedied, would, either with or without notice or the passage of time or both, result in Company’s default under any of such leases, and there are no conditions or circumstances known to Company or any of the Shareholders which could interfere with IB3’s continued use of any real property leased by Company after the Closing.

(c) Company owns good title to each item of tangible personal property reflected in the Company Financial Statements, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, options or other agreements except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 4.15 of the Disclosure Schedule. The tangible assets of Company are free from defects, have been maintained in accordance with normal industry practice, are in good operating condition and repair (subject to normal wear and tear) and are suitable for the purposes for which they are presently used, except for any existing defects or needed repairs which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Company.

If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the full responsibility for and defend against any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, then the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party to that effect within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its, his or her own counsel and participate in the defense, but the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the action, suit, proceeding or investigation or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have decided not to defend against the action, suit, proceeding or investigation. Any party granted the right to direct the defense of a claim hereunder shall: (A) keep the other fully informed of the action, suit, proceeding or investigation at all stages thereof whether or not represented, (B) promptly submit to the other copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and papers received in connection with the action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (C) permit the other and its, his or her counsel, to the extent practicable, to confer on the conduct of the defense of the action, suit, proceeding or investigation, and (D) to the extent practicable, permit the other and its, his or her counsel an opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to the submission. The parties shall make available to each other and each other’s counsel and accountants all of its, his, her or their books and records relating to the action, suit, proceeding or investigation. The parties shall use their respective good faith efforts to avoid the waiver of any privilege of any party. The assumption of the defense of any matter by an Indemnifying Party shall not in any manner impair or restrict such Indemnifying Party’s right to later seek indemnification under this Agreement with respect to such matter. An Indemnifying Party may elect to assume the defense of a matter at any time during the pendency of such matter, even if initially such Indemnifying Party did not elect to assume such defense, so long as such assumption at such later time would not prejudice the rights of the Indemnified Party. No settlement of a matter by the Indemnified Party shall be binding on an Indemnifying Party for purposes of such Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder. The foregoing indemnification procedure shall not apply to actions, suits or other proceedings instituted by any party to this Agreement arising out of any breach or alleged breach by another party of its, his or her representations or warranties or the failure or alleged failure by another party to pay any sum due or to perform any other obligation of such party according to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnities set forth in §§8.03(c) and 8.03(d) shall remain in full force and effect.

§8.06 Tax Matters. The parties agree to file all Returns and otherwise take reporting positions with any Tax authorities in a manner consistent with the characterization of any item under this Agreement.

§8.07 Confidentiality. The parties agree that the provisions relating to confidentiality set forth in Section 10 of their letter of intent dated November 15, 2006 are incorporated in and shall be applicable under this Agreement.
