ARTICLE X.

INDEMNIFICATION; SURVIVAL

          10.1.      Indemnification By the Greensteam Shareholders

          Subject to the limits set forth in this Article 10, the Greensteam Shareholders shall jointly and severally (subject to the limitation contained in Section 10.3 (c)) indemnify, defend and hold the Corporation and its Affiliates and each of their respective shareholders, partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (the Corporation and such Persons are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Corporation Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Corporation Indemnified Persons”), harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, expenses or deficiencies (including but not limited to taxes, interest, penalties, fines, judgments, settlements, costs of preparation and investigation, costs incurred in enforcing this indemnity and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; provided that such fees, expenses and costs will not include the compensation of any officer, director or employee of the Corporation or its Affiliates or any overhead allocable to them that is incurred in investigating, defending, settling or resolving any claim for indemnification) (collectively, “Losses”) that Corporation Indemnified Persons may suffer, sustain, incur or become subject to arising out of or due to: (i) any inaccuracy of any representation of Greensteam or the Greensteam Shareholders in this Agreement; (ii) the breach of any warranty of Greensteam or

- 22 -

the Greensteam Shareholders in this Agreement; or (iii) the non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of Greensteam, or the Greensteam Shareholders under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereunder.

          10.2.      Indemnification By Corporation

          Subject to the limits set forth in this Article 10, the Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold the Greensteam Shareholders and their Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (the Greensteam Shareholders and such Persons are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Greensteam Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Greensteam Indemnified Persons”), harmless from and against any and all Losses (provided that such fees, expenses and costs will not include the compensation of any officer, director or employee of Greensteam or its Affiliates or any overhead allocable to them that is incurred in investigating, defending, settling or resolving any claim for indemnification) that Greensteam Indemnified Persons may suffer, sustain, incur or become subject to arising out of or due to: (i) any inaccuracy of any representation of Corporation or Sub in this Agreement, (ii) the breach of any warranty of Corporation or Sub in this Agreement and (iii) the non-fulfillment of any covenant, undertaking, agreement or other obligation of Corporation or Sub under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereunder.

          10.3.      Survival Of Representation, Warranties and Covenants; Survival of Indemnification; Limitations

          (a)      Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All covenants and agreements to be performed prior to the Closing, and all representations and warranties of the Corporation, Sub, Greensteam and the Greensteam Shareholders contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Effective Time and shall remain in full force and effect until the first anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Indemnity Termination Date”). All covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing shall continue in accordance with their terms.

          (b)      Survival of Indemnification. The right of Corporation Indemnified Persons and Greensteam Indemnified Persons to indemnity in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, shall survive the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect until the Indemnity Termination Date, and shall remain in effect with respect to any Claim for which a Claim Notice shall have been given on or prior to the Indemnity Termination Date until final resolution of such Claim.

	           	(c)      	
Limitations on Amount.

		 
		 	(i)      	
The sole recourse that the Corporation Indemnified Persons shall have against any Greensteam Indemnifying Person shall be to the Common Shares not yet issued as Contingent Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.9(b) to such Greensteam Indemnifying Person as the same may be reduced from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. In no case shall a Greensteam Indemnifying Person have any personal obligation for

		 

- 23 -

	                     	 	
indemnification hereunder outside of the surrender to the Corporation of Common Shares not yet issued to such Greensteam Indemnifying Person as Contingent Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.9(b) in satisfaction of such a claim.

		 
		(ii)      	
The Indemnifying Parties shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any Losses described in Section 10.1(i) or (ii) or Section 10.2 (i) or (ii) unless and until the Indemnifying Parties’ aggregate indemnification obligations thereunder with respect to such Losses shall exceed Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Deductible Amount”), whereupon the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive indemnification for the amount of Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount.

		 
		(iii)      	
No indemnification payment made by Indemnifying Persons shall be payable to Indemnified Persons to the extent the aggregated claims hereunder for Losses of such Indemnified Persons exceeds Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($,3000,000.00) provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to the Corporation’s obligation to issue the Common Shares constituting any part of the Merger Consideration.

          (d)      Interpretation. The term “Losses” as used in this Article 10 is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against an Indemnified Person, but includes Losses incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Person in the absence of Third Party Claims. The term “Losses” as used in this Article 10 shall not include any indirect, consequential, or punitive damages or awards (unless payable as a result of a Third Party Claim or as otherwise provided for in this Agreement).

          (e)      Loss Payments. Each of the Greensteam Shareholders and the Representative hereby agrees that if, following the Closing, any payment is made pursuant to this Article 10 by such Greensteam Shareholder in respect of any Losses (a “Loss Payment”) such Greensteam Shareholder shall have no rights against any current or former director, officer, manager or employee of Greensteam or the LLC (in their capacity as such), whether by reason of contribution, indemnification, subrogation or otherwise, in respect of any such Loss Payment, and shall not take any action against any of such Persons with respect thereto. Any rights with respect to Loss Payments which any of the Greensteam Shareholders or the Representative may, by operation of law or otherwise, have against any of such Persons shall, effective at the time of the Closing, be deemed to be hereby expressly and knowingly waived.

          (f)      Valuation of Shares. For purposes of making a Loss Payment with respect to a Claim Notice pursuant to this Article 10, each Common Share shall be deemed to be valued at the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares based on the trades of Common Shares during the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately prior to the date of such Claim Notice (“Average Trading Price”).

- 24 -

          10.4      Procedure for Claims between Parties. If a claim for Losses is to be made by a Corporation Indemnified Person entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Corporation shall be the only party entitled to give notice to the Representative and shall give such notice to the Representative as soon as reasonably practicable after the Corporation becomes aware that a fact, condition or event has occurred or exists which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification by a Corporation Indemnified Person may be sought under this Article 10 (a “Claim Notice”). If a claim for Losses is to be made by a Greensteam Indemnified Person entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Representative shall be the only party entitled to give a Claim Notice to the Corporation, and shall give such Claim Notice to the Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable after the Representative becomes aware that a fact, condition or event has occurred or exists which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification by a Greensteam Indemnified Person may be sought under this Article 10. In each case, the Claim Notice shall consist of a certificate signed by an officer of the Corporation (a “Corporation Indemnification Certificate”) or a signed certificate by the Representative (a “Greensteam Indemnification Certificate”), as applicable, that shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances known to the Indemnified Person that gave rise to such indemnification claim and the amount arising therefrom and provide for a demand of payment of the amount. Any delay in submitting a Notice to the Representative or the Corporation, as applicable, shall not relieve any Indemnifying Person of any liability hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person was prejudiced by such delay; provided that the Corporation and the Representative shall only be entitled to submit a Claim Notice prior to the Indemnity Termination Date.

          10.5      Defense of Third Party Claims.

          (a)      If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against an Indemnified Person by any third party (each a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification under this Article 10 may be sought, written notice (“Third Party Notice”) thereof shall be given by the Corporation to the Representative or by the Representative to the Corporation, as applicable, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 30 days of service. The Third Party Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances known to the Indemnified Person that gave rise to such indemnification claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom. The delay of any Indemnified Person in giving a Third Party Notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person was prejudiced by such delay.

          (b)      After receipt of such Third Party Notice, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (provided, that such attorneys are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person) to diligently handle and defend the same, unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both one or more Indemnifying Persons and an Indemnified Person, and the Indemnified Person has been advised in writing by counsel that there are one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to an applicable Indemnifying Person or there is otherwise a conflict of interest that exists or is reasonably likely to exist that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Person, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Persons, in

- 25 -

which event such Indemnified Person shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Persons’ cost and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing (provided, that such cost and expense shall be limited to one firm of attorneys, together with appropriate local counsel, for any such Third Party Claim) and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Person, unless the Indemnified Person and its Affiliates are released in full in connection with the settlement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Person that the Indemnified Person reasonably determines, after conferring with outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or relief for other than money damages portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages. If the Indemnifying Person elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Person and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Person may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom and may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel of its choosing. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

          (c)      If the Indemnifying Person fails to notify the Indemnified Person within 30 days after receipt of the Third Party Notice that the Indemnifying Person elects to defend the Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 10.5 or if the Indemnifying Person elects to defend the Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 10.5 but fails to diligently prosecute or settle the Third Party Claim, which failure continues for ten business days after notice to the Indemnifying Person from the Indemnified Person of such failure, then the Indemnified Person against which such claim has been asserted will have the right to undertake, and the cost and expense thereof will constitute Losses, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Persons. The Indemnified Person shall have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnified Person assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnifying Person shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnified Person in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Person at the Indemnifying Person’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Person’s possession or under the Indemnifying Person’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnified Person, and the Indemnified Person will keep the Indemnifying Person reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

          10.6      Resolution of Conflicts and Claims.

          If an Indemnifying Person objects in writing to any claim (or part of any claim) for indemnification made by an Indemnified Person (an “Objection Notice”), the Indemnified

- 26 -

Person and Indemnifying Person shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims within 30 days of the Objection Notice. If the Indemnified Person and Indemnifying Person should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. 

          10.7      Representative

          (a)        At the Closing, Raymond T. Pirraglia shall be constituted and appointed, without any further act of any Greensteam Shareholder, the Greensteam Indemnifying Persons’ and the Greensteam Indemnified Persons’ representative (the “Representative”) and, as such, shall serve as and have all powers as agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each Greensteam Indemnifying Person or Greensteam Indemnified Person, as the case may be: (i) to give and receive notices and communications on their behalf with respect to any matters related to this Agreement; (ii) to object to such deliveries and any claims set forth in any Corporation Indemnification Certificate; (iii) to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 10; (iv) to litigate, mediate, arbitrate, defend, enforce or take any other actions and execute any other documents that the Representative deems advisable in connection with enforcing any rights or obligations or defending any claim or action under this Agreement on behalf of the Greensteam Indemnifying Persons and the Greensteam Indemnified Persons; (v) to sign receipts, consents or other documents in connection with the Representative’s duties hereunder; and (vi) to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case, without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Greensteam Shareholder. Notice or communications to or from the Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Greensteam Indemnifying Persons and the Greensteam Indemnified Persons. All actions to be taken by a Greensteam Indemnified Person or Greensteam Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall be taken solely by the Representative.

          (b)        No bond shall be required of the Representative. The Representative shall be reimbursed any and all expenses incurred by him in fulfilling his obligations under Section 10.7(a), including any legal and accounting fees payable to third party consultants, and the Representative shall be entitled to receive a fee of $250.00 per hour, billable on a quarterly hour basis, for time spent fulfilling his obligations under Section 10.7(a), with such expenses and fees to be paid by the Greensteam Shareholders in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Portion of the Merger Consideration, as set forth on Schedule A.(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Representative shall not incur any liability with respect to any action taken or suffered by him in reliance upon any direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by him to be genuinely and duly authorized, nor for any action or inaction in reliance in good faith upon advice of legal counsel. If the Representative shall die, become disabled, resign or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities hereunder, Greensteam Shareholders, acting by consent of Greensteam Shareholders having an interest in a majority of the Contingent Merger Consideration (a “Majority”) shall, as soon as practicable after such death, resignation or disability, appoint a successor to the Representative and immediately thereafter notify the Corporation of the identity of such successor. If a Majority chooses to remove the Representative for any reason, such Majority shall simultaneously appoint a successor to the

- 27 -

Representative and immediately thereafter notify the Corporation of the identity of such successor. Any such successor pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences shall succeed the Representative as Representative hereunder.

          (d)      A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative shall constitute a decision of the Greensteam Indemnifying Persons or the Greensteam Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Greensteam Indemnifying Persons or the Greensteam Indemnified Persons, as the case may be. The Corporation, and any Corporation Indemnified Person may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Greensteam Indemnifying Persons or the Greensteam Indemnified Persons, as the case may be. Although the Representative shall not be obligated to obtain instructions from the Greensteam Indemnifying Persons or the Greensteam Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, prior to any decision, act, consent or instruction, if, and to the extent that, the Representative receives any written instructions from a Majority, the Representative shall comply with such instructions.

          (e)      The Representative shall not be liable to the Greensteam Shareholders for any act taken or omitted to be taken as Representative, except for the commission of actual fraud or willful misconduct. Each Greensteam Shareholder shall severally indemnify the Representative and hold the Representative harmless against any damages or expenses incurred without bad faith on the part of the Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Representative.

          (f)      The power of attorney granted by the Greensteam Indemnifying Persons and the Greensteam Indemnified Persons to the Representative pursuant to this 10.7 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and shall not terminate or otherwise be affected by the death, disability, incompetence, bankruptcy or insolvency of any Greensteam Indemnifying Person or Greensteam Indemnified Person.

          (g)      The provisions of this Section 10.7 (or a reasonably detailed summary thereof) shall be distributed to the Greensteam Shareholders prior to their approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement by the Greensteam Shareholders shall constitute ratification of the appointment of the Representative and approval of the provisions of this Section 10.7.

          10.8      Exclusive Remedy.

          The parties agree that from and after the Closing, the indemnification rights contained in this Article 10 shall be the exclusive remedy for monetary damages for breaches of this Agreement available to the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

          10.9      Tax Treatment.

          Indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article shall be treated for Tax purposes as adjustments to the Merger Consideration and the parties agree to file their Tax Returns accordingly.
