7. Indemnification.







7.1 Indemnification by the Company. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 set forth below, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Employee harmless from and against any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties and expenses against Employee arising out of a breach by the Company of a representation, warranty or covenant under the note and related documentation issued by the Company to HSBC (“HSBC Note”) or the Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Goldcrest Distribution Limited and related documentation (“Goldcrest Financial Note”). Such agreement to indemnify shall survive this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Goldcrest Financial Note and related loan facility or (ii) the removal of Employee’s personal guarantee with HSBC and Goldcrest.  Any such notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties and expenses are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Losses”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have no further liability for any Loss that Employee identifies as a Claim (as defined below) delivered to the Company after three years from the date hereof.








            7.2 Procedures.










(a)           In the event that any legal proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand (“claim”) shall be asserted by any person in respect of which payment may be sought under section 7.1 hereof, Employee shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the Company.  The Company shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to Employee, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any claim which relates to any losses indemnified against hereunder.  If the Company elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any claim which relates to any losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within ten (10) days (or sooner, if the nature of the claim so requires) notify employee of its intent to do so.  Employee shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that such consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed, or conditioned.  If the Company elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any claim which relates to any losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify employee of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify Employee for such losses under this Agreement, Employee may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such claim.  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that such consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, delayed, or conditioned. If Employee defends any claim, then the Company shall promptly reimburse Employee for the actual expenses of defending such claim upon submission of periodic bills.  If the Company shall assume the defense of any claim, Employee may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such claim; provided, however, that Employee shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Company, if, (i) so requested by the Company to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to employee, a conflict or potential conflict exists between Employee and the Company that would make such separate representation advisable.  The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such claim.

(b)           After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or Employee and the Company shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a claim hereunder, Employee shall forward to the Company notice of any sums due and owing by the Company pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Company shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to Employee by wire transfer of immediately available funds within 10 business days after the date of such notice. The failure of Employee to give reasonably prompt notice of any claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Company’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Company can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.


 


    (c)            Conditions to Indemnification by the Company. The Indemnification provisions set forth above, are in all respects subject to and conditioned upon the Employee taking any and all actions required to maintain its personal guarantees in full force and good standing, and not to take or cause any actions that would result in the HSBC Note or the Goldcrest Financial Note and related loan facility to be in default.












7.3                      Covenant by Employee; Indemnification by the Employee.  The Employee covenants to the Company that he will maintain full non-modified compliance with his obligations as set forth under the HSBC Note and the Goldcrest Financial Note, for the periods set forth therein. The Employee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties and expenses against the Company arising out of any (i) promises or agreements by Employee, whether written or oral to employees, contractors, and third-parties as to stock grants, options, or unpaid cash payments or bonuses except for those outlined in disclosed compensation plans and employment agreements, all as set forth and disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) Employee failing to maintain its personal guarantees in full force and good standing, or Employee taking or cause any actions that would result in the HSBC Note or the Goldcrest Financial Note and related loan facilities to be in default. Indemnification under this Section 7.3 will follow the procedures set forth under Section 7.2.







8. Entire Agreement. This Termination Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.  Each party acknowledges that no party has made any promise, representation, or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, not contained herein concerning the subject matter hereof.







9. Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.







10. Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.







11. Governing Law and Interpretation.  This Agreement shall be governed and conformed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflict of laws provision. Any party to this Agreement bringing a legal action or proceeding against any other party arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall bring the legal action or proceeding in either the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, or in any court of the State of Florida sitting in Orange County, Florida (the “Designated Courts”).
