expeditiously provide the person(s) designated by Buyer with all information
that such person(s) deems necessary to determine whether there have been any
failures to comply with the continuation health care coverage requirements of
Code Section 4980B and ERISA Sections 601 through 609 as such requirements have
applied to any group health plan maintained by or for Seller which failure

sought hereunder ("Indemnitor"). No indemnification, defense, protection or hold
harmless under this Section 9.2 shall be available to any party who fails to

prejudiced by the failure to receive the Notice of Claim in a timely manner. The
Indemnitor shall be entitled at its own expense to participate in the defense of
any clam or action against the Claimant. The Indemnitor shall behave the right

the Claimant within fifteen (15) days after Indemnitor's receipt of the Notice
of Claim; (ii) the Indemnitor's defense of such claim shall be without cost to
the Claimant or prejudice to the

Indemnitor shall bear all costs and expenses in connection with the defense of
such claim; (v) the Claimant shall have the right, at the Claimant's expense, to
have Claimant's counsel participate in the defense of such claim; and (vi) the

such claim and shall have the right to make direct inquiries to Indemnitor's
counsel in this regard.
(d) To the extent Buyer incurs any liability, damage, cost or
expense in connection with a claim against which Seller is obligated to
indemnify, defend, protect or hold Buyer harmless hereunder, Buyer shall be
entitled to offset such liabilities, damages, costs or expenses against (i) any
payment due in connection with the fees referred to in Section 1.4 hereof; or
(ii) by a return to Seller of shares of the Common Stock equal to offset such
liabilities, damages, costs or expenses by valuing the Common Stock at the then
current market value.

shall render reasonable cooperation to Buyer to effectuate a smooth and orderly

controversy, each party shall then select one arbitrator and the two so selected
shall select a third arbitrator. If either party fails to select an arbitrator
within fifteen (15) days after written demand from the other party to do so, or
