As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, as amended if applicable, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 INDEMNIFICATION
  
 8.1 Survival.

The applicable period of such survival and operative effect subsequent to Closing is referred to as the “Indemnity Period.”
  
 8.2 Seller’s Indemnity. During the Indemnity Period (or thereafter, solely with respect to any claim for indemnification for which a Claim Notice has been given prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Period), Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, stockholders, employees and representatives (collectively the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all demands, losses, Liabilities, Actions, assessments, damages, fines, Taxes, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation, and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants and other experts) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, resulting from or relating to any of the following:
   	 
	- 10 -
	 
 
	 

  
 (2.a) Any breach of any of the covenants, representations or warranties made by Seller in this Agreement; or
  
 (2.b) Any failure by Seller to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.
  
 8.3 Buyer’s Indemnity. During the Indemnity Period (or thereafter, solely with respect to any claim for indemnification for which a Claim Notice has been given prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Period), Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, stockholders, employees and representatives (collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of, resulting from or relating to:
  
 (3.a) Any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement; or
  
 (3.b) Any failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.
  
 8.4 Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 8.2.a, Section 8.2.a.c, Section 8.3.a or Section 8.3.c, as applicable (other than indemnification in respect of breaches of Key Representations), shall be an aggregate amount equal to $3,231,663; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered in respect of breaches of the Key Representations and in respect of fraud by the Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, shall not be capped.
  
 8.5 Procedures. In the event that any Party hereto shall sustain or incur any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such Party pursuant to this Section 10, the Party seeking such indemnification (the “Claimant”) shall assert a claim for indemnification by giving prompt written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) which shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances upon which the asserted claim for indemnification is based, along with a copy of the claim or complaint, to the Party providing indemnification (the “Indemnitor”). For purposes of this paragraph, any Claim Notice that is sent within fifteen (15) days of the date upon which the Claimant actually learned of such Loss shall be deemed to have been “prompt notice”; provided that failure of the Claimant to give the Indemnitor prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure.
  
 (5.a) Upon the receipt of such Claim Notice, the Indemnitor shall have the right to undertake (at its own expense), by counsel or representatives of its own choosing, the good faith defense, compromise or settlement to be undertaken on behalf of the Claimant and shall keep the Claimant reasonably informed with respect thereto, provided that the Indemnitor unconditionally agrees in writing that it shall be provided indemnity to the Claimant for all Losses relating to the claim disclosed in the Claim Notice. Indemnity for such Losses shall not be deemed an admission of liability on the part of the Indemnitor as against any such third party. If the Indemnitor elects to undertake such defense by its own counsel or representatives, the Indemnitor shall give notice to the Claimant within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of the Claim Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor may not assume or control the defense if the named parties to the action giving rise to the Claim Notice (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnitor and the Claimant and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate (based on a written opinion of outside counsel) due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in which case the Claimant shall have the right to defend the action and to employ counsel reasonably approved by the Indemnitor, and, to the extent the matter is determined to be subject to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitor shall reimburse the Claimant for all reasonable costs associated with such defense.
   	 
	- 11 -
	 
 
	 

  
 (5.b) The Claimant shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in such defense and provide the Indemnitor with all information and assistance reasonably necessary to permit the Indemnitor to settle and/or defend any such claim. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 10.4(a), the Claimant may retain counsel (at the Claimant’s expense) to monitor or participate in the defense of such claim, but the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the defense unless the Claimant unconditionally agrees in writing to relieve the Indemnitor from liability with respect to the particular matter. The Indemnitor shall have the right in good faith to settle or compromise any such claim, provided that (i) at least ten (10) Business Days prior notice of such settlement or compromise is given to the Claimant and (ii) such settlement or compromise must not require the Claimant to take or refrain from taking any action (provided that Claimant shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the terms of a mutual release with respect to such claim with the third party making such claim), contain any admission by or on behalf of the Claimant, or otherwise fail to hold Claimant fully harmless with respect to such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any such settlement or compromise negotiated by the Indemnitor, no Claimant shall be required by an Indemnitor to (i) enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the Claimant or plaintiff to the Claimant of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, or (ii) enter into any settlement that attributes by its terms any non-indemnified liability to the Claimant.
  
 (5.c) If an Indemnitor fails, within ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Claim Notice to give notice to the Claimant of such Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnitor shall be bound by any determination made in such action or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the Claimant and shall reimburse the Claimant for all Losses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Claimant; provided, however, that the Claimant shall keep the Indemnitor advised on a timely basis of significant developments with respect to such defense and permit the Indemnitor to participate, at its own election and expense, at any time, in the defense thereof.
  
 (5.d) Buyer’s remedy for indemnification hereunder shall first be applied to the recovery of the I-Venture Preferred then held by the Seller.
