<PAGE>

      7.2. Indemnification Obligations of Members.

            (a) Each Member agrees to indemnify, severally and not jointly, and
to hold the Company and its affiliates and persons serving as managers, members,
officers, employees or agents thereof (individually a "Company Indemnified
Party" and collectively the "Company Indemnified Parties") harmless from and
against any damages, liabilities, losses (including, without limitation,
diminution in value), taxes, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever
(whether or not arising out of third party claims and including all amounts paid
in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing), but excluding any
special or consequential damages other than those required to be paid to third
parties (each a "Loss" and collectively the "Losses") which may be sustained or
suffered by any of them directly or indirectly arising out of or based upon any
breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of: (i) such Member under
this Agreement, or (ii) Sovereign under this Agreement, or in any certificate,
schedule or exhibit delivered pursuant hereto or thereto. Any indemnification
obligation under this Section 7.2 arising from a breach of a representation,
warranty or covenant by Sovereign shall be allocated to the Members ratably in
proportion to the number of Company Shares issued to each Member pursuant to
this Agreement and shall be subject to the further limitations set forth in this
Section 7.2.

            (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, Members shall not have any liability to indemnify the Company
Indemnified Parties with respect to any Losses (other than Losses arising from
fraud) for which a Claim Notice shall not have been delivered to Members on or
prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date.

            (c) The maximum amount payable by any Member for Losses in respect
of claims made by Company Indemnified Parties under this Section 7.2 shall be
the Fair Market Value (as defined below, and as determined as of the Closing
Date) of the Closing Shares received by such Member pursuant to this Agreement.
To the extent permitted by law, any Member may, at such Member's election,
satisfy an obligation owing under this Section 7.2 by transferring to the
applicable Company Indemnified Party that number of shares of Company Common
Stock and/or Company Convertible Preferred Stock, the Fair Market Value
(determined as of the Closing Date) of which equals the obligation owing to such
Company Indemnified Party. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Fair Market
Value" of Common Stock shall mean, for any date, the price determined by the
first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then
listed or quoted on a Principal Market (defined below), the daily volume
weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest
preceding date) on the primary Principal Market on which the Common Stock is
then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. (based on a
trading day from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) using the VAP
function; (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on the Principal
Market and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the "Pink Sheets"
published by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or a similar
organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the
most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (c) in all
other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by a
nationally recognized independent appraiser selected in good faith by purchasers
holding a majority of the principal amount of shares then outstanding. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Principal Market" shall mean, initially the OTC
Bulletin Board and shall also include the American Stock Exchange, New York
Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market or the NASDAQ National Market,
whichever is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common
Stock, based upon share volume. The "Fair Market Value" for Company Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock that such
Company Convertible Preferred Stock would be converted into if such Company
Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock on the date of the
determination of the Company Convertible Preferred Stock's Fair Market Value.

<PAGE>

            (d) Furthermore, notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary including the provisions of Section 1.3
of Article I, the right of the Company Indemnified Parties to indemnification
pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the
Company Indemnified Parties at law or in equity for monetary damages for any
Loss except that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Indemnified Parties
also shall have the right to the equitable remedies of specific performance and
injunctive relief, provided, however, that Members' indemnification obligations
shall be limited.

      7.3. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold Members and its respective affiliates and persons serving as managers,
members, officers, employees or agents thereof (individually a "Members
Indemnified Party" and collectively the "Members Indemnified Parties") harmless
from and against any damages, liabilities, losses, taxes, fines, penalties,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel)
of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third party
claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of
the foregoing) which may be sustained or suffered by Members and/or any Members
Indemnified Party arising out of or based upon any breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant made by the Company in this Agreement, or in any
certificate, schedule or exhibit delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, or by
reason of any claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted growing out of
any matter or thing constituting such a breach, provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or elsewhere to the
contrary, the Company shall have no liability to indemnify Members Indemnified
Parties with respect to any Losses for which a Claim Notice shall not have been
delivered to the Company on or prior to the 18-month anniversary of the Closing
Date.

      7.4. Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification under this
Article VII shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

            (a) In the event that any claim or demand for which an indemnifying
party would be liable to a Company Indemnified Party or a Members Indemnified
Party (each, an "Indemnified Party") hereunder is asserted against or sought to
be collected by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall:

            (i) promptly notify the indemnifying party of such claim or demand,
      specifying the nature of such claim or demand and the amount or the
      estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall
      not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim or demand) (the "Claim
      Notice") and specifically indicating that it is a claim for
      indemnification and citing the specific sections in this Agreement
      pursuant to which indemnification is sought; provided, however, that the
      failure of an Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall
      not relieve an indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article
      VII, except to the extent the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced
      thereby;

<PAGE>

            (ii) an indemnifying party shall have 15 calendar days from their
      receipt of the Claim Notice (the "Notice Period") to notify the
      Indemnified Party (x) whether or not the indemnifying party disputes its
      liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim or
      demand and (y) whether or not it desires, at its sole cost and expense, to
      defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand; provided,
      however, that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and
      during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading
      which it reasonably shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its
      interests;

            (iii) in the event that the indemnifying party notifies the
      Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the indemnifying party
      does not dispute such liability or desires to defend against such claim or
      demand, then except as hereinafter provided, the indemnifying party shall
      have the right to defend by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings
      shall be promptly settled or prosecuted to a final conclusion in such a
      manner as to avoid any risk of the Indemnified Party becoming subject to
      liability for any other matter, provided that the indemnifying party shall
      not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the
      Indemnified Party, unless any such settlement shall involve only the
      payment of money and provide for the delivery of a full release of any
      liability to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall make
      available to the indemnifying party, at the indemnifying party's expense,
      any documents and materials in his, her or its possession or control that
      may be necessary or useful to such defense;

            (iv) if the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not
      control, any such defense or settlement it may do so at its sole cost and
      expense; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall pay such
      expense if representation of the Indemnified Party by the counsel retained
      by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or
      potential conflicts of interest between the Indemnified Party and any
      other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding;

            (v) if any such claim involves a claim for taxes, or, if, in the
      reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, any such claim or demand
      involves an issue or matter which could have a Material Adverse Effect on
      the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
      control the defense or settlement of any such claim or demand, and its
      reasonable costs and expenses thereof shall be included as part of the
      indemnification obligations of the Indemnified Party hereunder and, with
      respect to subsections (iv) and (v) of this Section 7.4, the indemnifying
      party shall make available to the Indemnified Party any documents and
      materials in his or her possession or control that may be necessary or
      useful to such defense;

            (vi) if the indemnifying party disputes the indemnifying party's
      liability with respect to such claim or demand or elects not to defend
      against such claim or demand, whether by not giving timely notice as
      provided above or otherwise, then the amount of any such claim or demand,
      or, if the same be contested by the indemnifying party or by the
      Indemnified Party (but the Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation
      to contest any such claim or demand), then that portion thereof as to
      which such defense is unsuccessful, shall be conclusively deemed to be a
      liability of the indemnifying party hereunder (subject, if the
      indemnifying party has timely disputed liability, to a determination that
      the disputed liability is covered by these indemnification provisions);
      and

<PAGE>

                  (vii) In the event the Indemnified Party should have a claim
      against the indemnifying party hereunder which does not involve a claim or
      demand being asserted against or sought to be collected from it by a third
      party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly send a Claim Notice with
      respect to such claim to the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party
      does not notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that they
      dispute such claim, the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed
      a liability of the indemnifying party hereunder.
