|--------|-----|----------------------------|

10.1  Survival; Right to Indemnification.  All representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing. The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

10.2  Indemnification and Payment of Damages By the Company Shareholder.  The Company Shareholder, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless Aduddell, the Company, and their respective Representatives, Shareholders, controlling persons, and affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) for, and will pay to the Indemnified Persons the amount of, any loss, liability, claim, damage (excluding incidental and consequential damages), expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees) or diminution of value, whether or not involving a third-party claim (collectively, “Damages”), arising, directly or indirectly from:

(a)          any Breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company Shareholder or the Company in this Agreement or any other certificate or document delivered by the Company Shareholder or the Company pursuant to this Agreement;

(b)          any Breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company Shareholder and the Company in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty were made on and as of the Closing Date;

(c)          any Breach by the Company Shareholder or the Company of any covenant or obligation of the Company Shareholder or the Company in this Agreement;

(d)          any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any such Person with either the Company Shareholder or the Company (or any Person acting on their behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.

The remedies provided in this Section 10.2 will not be exclusive of or limited by other remedies that may be available to Aduddell or the other Indemnified Persons.

Aduddell will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company Shareholder, and will pay to the Company Shareholder the amount of any Damages arising, directly or indirectly from (a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by Aduddell in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Aduddell pursuant to this Agreement, (b) any Breach by Aduddell of any covenant or obligation of Aduddell in this Agreement, or (c) any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding

alleged to have been made by such Person with Aduddell (or any Person acting on its behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.

10.4  Time Limitations.  If the Closing occurs, the Company Shareholder will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation or warranty, or covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, other than those in Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.11, 3.15, and 3.19, unless on or before December 31, 2007 Aduddell notifies the Company Shareholder of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Aduddell.  A claim with respect to Section 3.1, 3.3, 3.11, 3.15, or 3.19, or a claim for indemnification or reimbursement not based upon any representation or warranty or any covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, may be made at any time. 

10.5  Limitations On Amount—the Company Shareholder.  The Company Shareholder will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clause (a), clause (b) or, to the extent relating to any failure to perform or comply prior to the Closing Date, clause (c) of Section 10.2 in an amount in excess of  $150,000. However, this Section 10.5 will not apply to any Breach of any of the Company Shareholder’s representations and warranties of which the Company Shareholder had Knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional Breach by the Company Shareholder of any covenant or obligation, and the Company Shareholder will be jointly and severally liable for all Damages with respect to such Breaches.

10.6  Limitations on Amount—Aduddell.  Aduddell will have no liability for indemnification for breach of Aduddell’s representations or warranties in excess of $150,000. However, this Section 10.6 will not apply to any Breach of any of Aduddell’s representations and warranties of which Aduddell had Knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional Breach by Aduddell of any covenant or obligation, and Aduddell will be liable for all Damages with respect to such Breaches.

10.7  Procedure For Indemnification--Third Party Claims.

(a)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10.2, or Section 10.3 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such notice.

(b)          If any Proceeding referred to in Section 10.6(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will, unless the claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and 

 

|   | 40 |
|--------|----|

provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) nocompromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by theindemnified party.

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(d)          The Company Shareholder hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein.

10.8  Procedure For Indemnification--Other Claims.  A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
