             Agreement, each Party, may disclose to the other certain Propietary
             and/or  Confidential  Information.  Either Party may  designate any
             information   it  provides  to  the  other  as  Propietary   and/or
             Confidential  Information,   and  the  receiving  party  shall  not
             disclose  that  information  to third  parties  without the express
             permission  of the  disclosing  party.  Information  designated  as
             Propietary   and/or    Confidential    Information   shall   remain
             confidential   until  the   disclosing   party   designates  it  as
             non-confidential or until the information becomes public through no
             fault of the receiving party or illegal action.

             by  either  Party,  the  receiving  Party  agrees to take all steps
             necessary to:

            i.    to protect such  information  to the extent  normally  used in
                  safeguarding  its own proprietary  information but in no event
                  less than a standard of reasonable care; and

            ii.   to  protect  and  prevent  disclosure  to and/or  use by third
                  parties of any proprietary information of the other party; and

            iii.  to hold all said proprietary information in confidence and not
                  to,  directly  or  indirectly,  copy,  publish,  summarize  or
                  disclose to any person or entity such information  without the
                  other party's prior written consent; and

            iv.   to notify  the  Disclosing  Party in  writing  within  two (2)
                  working  days of discovery of any  inadvertent  or  accidental
                  disclosure  of  Propietary  and/or  Confidential  Information,
                  without in any way  limiting  the other  rights or remedies of
                  the Disclosing Party hereunder,  and the Receiving Party shall
                  take all necessary  precautions to avoid further dissemination
                  of  the   information   disclosed,   as  well  as   corrective
                  precautions to prevent disclosure of any additional Propietary
                  and/or Confidential Information.

         c)  The Parties  understand  and agree that in the event  either  party
             breaches or threatens  to breach the  provisions  of this  section,
             such breach or threatened  breach would cause  irreparable  harm to
             the  non-breaching  party, and that monetary damages would not be a
             sufficient remedy and that each Party shall be entitled to specific
             performance, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, as a
             remedy for any such breach by the other  Party.  Such remedy  shall
             not be deemed to be the  exclusive  remedy for any breach but shall
             be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 INDEMNIFICATION
                                 ---------------

     9.1 Seller Indemnification. The Seller (the "Seller Indemnifying Party")
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries,
partners, members and controlling persons (each, a "Purchaser Indemnified
Party") to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all
actions, suits, proceedings, claims, complaints, disputes, arbitrations or
investigations or written threats thereof (collectively, "Claims") (including,
without limitation, any Claim by a third party), losses, damages, expenses or
other liabilities (collectively, "Losses") (including reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified
Party (excluding, in each case, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential
damages other than any such damages claimed by a third party against a Purchaser
Indemnified Party) resulting from or arising out of any breach of any
representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Seller in this
Agreement.

     9.2 Purchaser Indemnification. The Purchaser (the "Purchaser Indemnifying
Party") agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its
Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees,
subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, a "Seller
Indemnified Party") to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any
and all Claims (including, without limitation, any Claim by a third party) and
Losses, (including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel
incurred by the Seller Indemnified Party (excluding, in each case, special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages other than any such damages claimed
by a third party against a Seller Indemnified Party) resulting from or arising
out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by
the Purchaser in this Agreement.

     9.3 Notification. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article
IX (an "Indemnified Party") shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the
commencement of any Claim against such Indemnified Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought from the Person giving the indemnity under this Article
IX (the "Indemnifying Party"), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the
commencement thereof. The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the
Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other than
pursuant to this Article IX or (b) under this Article IX unless, and only to the
extent that, such omission results in the Indemnifying Party's forfeiture of
substantive rights or defenses. In case any such third party Claim shall be
brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying
Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any
Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to
participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Claim in
which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on
the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the
Indemnifying Party's expense and to control its own defense of such Claim if, in
the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or
more defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to
the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between
the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the
other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable; provided,
however, that the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties and (ii) shall
reimburse the Indemnified Parties for all of such fees and expenses of such
counsel incurred in any action between Indemnified Parties and any third party,
as such expenses are incurred. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise
or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Claim
relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party
thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such
Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
Claim effected against an Indemnified Party without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, demand, protest and notice as to
the obligations and covenants guaranteed hereby and acceptance of this Guaranty,
the right to require the Purchaser to exhaust remedies against any other Person

hereby waives all claims of waiver, release, surrender, abstraction or
compromise and all set-offs, counterclaims, cross-claims, recoupments or other
defenses that it may have against the Purchaser. The Guarantor agrees to pay the

Agreement.

successors and assigns; (ii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the

effect until the performance in full of all obligations of the Seller and the
Guarantor in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

obligations under this Agreement.

               (ii) The Guarantor has been duly authorized to execute, deliver
and perform this Agreement. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by

or any of its properties or assets is subject.

               (iii) No authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, notices,
filings, registrations, qualifications and exemptions of, with or from any
Governmental Authority are required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of
the Guarantor in connection with the execution of this Agreement or the
performance of its obligations hereunder.

               (iv) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Guarantor and, assuming due execution and delivery by the Seller and the
Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations
of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its
terms, subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws, (b) laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors' rights and (c) general equity principles.

     10.2 Survival. All of the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made by the parties in this Agreement or pursuant hereto in any
certificate, instrument, or document shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
