                      ----------------------------------------
individual  having  an indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation, as
above provided, shall fail to assume such obligation, then the party or entities
or  both,  as  the  case  may  be,  to  whom  such  indemnification,

defense  and  hold  harmless obligation is due shall have the right, but not the
obligation,  to  assume  and maintain such defense (including reasonable counsel
fees  and  costs  of any suit related thereto) and to make any settlement or pay
any  judgment  or  verdict  as  the  individual  or  entities  deem necessary or
appropriate  in  such  individual's or entities' absolute sole discretion and to
charge  the  cost  of any such settlement, payment, expense and costs, including

or  the Business which were incurred prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer shall
have  the right to offset any such amount from any obligations that are then due
and  payable  to  the Company or the Partnership under the Long Term Note or the
Short Term Note but not the Bridge Note, provided that any offset shall first be
offset  against  the  Long  Term Note and thereafter shall be offset against the
Short  Term  Note.
