  (a)  
Except for a breach of the representation of BUYER as set forth in Section 3.2, any and all claims, losses, damages, actions, suits and claims, or legal, administrative, arbitral, governmental or other proceedings or investigations against any SELLER Indemnified Party, that relate to SELLER, the Business or the Purchased Assets and which result from or arise out of any event, occurrence, action, inaction, omission or transaction occurring on or prior to the Closing Date by the SELLER;

 

16


 

  (b)  
With respect to the representations set forth in Section 3 and Schedule 3.1.17, any and all claims, losses, damages, actions, suits, claims or legal, administrative, arbitral, governmental or other proceedings involving SELLER Indemnified Party that relate to environmental, safety or health matters arising from the Business, the Purchased Assets and/or SELLER’s ownership, use, operation, or occupancy of any real property or improvements that occurred prior to the Closing Date and;
  (c)  
any and all damages, losses, settlement payments, deficiencies, liabilities, costs and expenses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any SELLER Indemnified Party because of or that result from, relate to or arise out of the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of, or the failure to fulfill, any representation, warranty, agreement, covenant or statement (i) of SELLER contained in this Agreement or (ii) contained in any certificate, schedule, statement, document, agreement or instrument furnished to SELLER Indemnified Party by or on behalf of SELLER at the Closing;

SELLER Indemnified Party shall promptly notify SELLER of the existence of any matter to which the obligations set forth in this paragraph shall apply, and shall give SELLER reasonable opportunity to defend any claim or litigation at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection approved by SELLER Indemnified Party; provided that SELLER Indemnified Party shall also at all times have the right fully to participate in such defense at its own expense. If SELLER shall fail, within a reasonable time after such notice, to defend such claim or litigation, SELLER Indemnified Party, or any successor to the business and assets of SELLER, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, compromise or settle any such claim or litigation;
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.1 above, SELLER shall cause BUYER to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties from any and all claims, losses, damages, actions, suits and claims, or legal, administrative, arbitral, governmental or other proceedings or investigations against any Seller Indemnified Party arising from the obligations set forth on Schedule A hereto and being assumed by virtue of this Agreement.

 

17


 

5.2 General Indemnification Obligation of BUYER. Except to the extent SELLER has agreed to be liable to a Seller Indemnified Party (including, but not to, all officers, directors, shareholders and Note holders of Buyer), BUYER will indemnify and hold harmless SELLER, and its officers, directors, and shareholders, (each such person is referred to herein as a “SELLER” or as a “BUYER Indemnified Party”) against and in respect of:
  (a)  
any and all actions, suits, claims or legal, administrative, arbitration, governmental or other proceedings or investigations, against any BUYER Indemnified Party that relate to BUYER, the Business or the Purchased Assets and which result from or arise out of any event, occurrence, action, inaction or transaction occurring after the Closing Date;
  (b)  
any and all damages, losses, settlement payments, deficiencies, liabilities, costs and expenses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any BUYER Indemnified Party because of or that result from, relate to or arise out of the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of, or the failure to fulfill, any representation, warranty, agreement, covenant or statement (i) of BUYER contained in this Agreement or (ii) contained in any certificate, schedule, statement, document or instrument furnished to SELLER by or on behalf of BUYER at the Closing;

any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigation, demands, assessments, audits, fines, judgments, costs and other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 5.2 to the extent SELLER prevails in such enforcement action. SELLER shall promptly notify BUYER of the existence of any matter to which the obligations set forth in this paragraph shall apply, and shall give BUYER reasonable opportunity to defend any claim or litigation at its own expense, with counsel of its own selection approved by SELLER; provided that SELLER shall also at all times have the right fully to participate in such defense at its own expense. If BUYER shall fail, within a reasonable time after such notice, to defend such claim or litigation, SELLER any successor to the business and assets of BUYER, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, compromise or settle any such claim or litigation.
5.3 Claims Procedures for Indemnification.
5.3.1 Notice. If following Closing a party to this Agreement (a “Claimant”) wishes to make a claim for indemnity (the “Claim”) against another party (the “Indemnitor”), the Claimant shall promptly give the Indemnitor written notice of the basis for and existence of the Claim (“Claim Notice”), setting forth all specifics of the Claim then known by the Claimant.

 

18


 

5.3.2 Response. If the Claim derives from a third-party claim or action against the Claimant, the Indemnitor (i) may within ten (10) days of receiving the Claim Notice stipulate in writing that it is obligated to indemnify for the Claim, and (ii) if it does so, may thereafter promptly defend against the Claim in Claimant’s name and on it’s behalf, at Indemnitor’s own cost and expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Claimant.
5.3.3 Assumption of Claim. If Indemnitor assumes the Claim, Claimant may at his sole cost and expense retain counsel of its own choosing, and (subject to negotiation of a joint defense agreement) Indemnitor will share relevant information with Claimant’s counsel and consult with it as to disposition of the Claim. However, Indemnitor will retain ultimate control over the defense or settlement of the Claim (in which the Claimant will cooperate), with the proviso that Indemnitor may not without Claimant’s consent agree to the entry of any order for non-monetary relief which will be binding on Claimant, its assets or operations. Each party as a potential Claimant agrees that it will make available to any Indemnitor all of his relevant books and records and will, at the Indemnitor’s request and expense, reasonably cooperate (and cause his officers, directors and employees to cooperate) with the Indemnitor in the defense of the Claim.
5.3.4 Rejection of Claim. If Indemnitor fails to respond affirmatively within ten days of receipt of a Claim Notice, it will be deemed to have denied responsibility for the Claim. If Indemnitor denies responsibility for the Claim (or if it assumes the defense of the Claim, but subsequently fails to pursue the defense in good faith) the Claimant may assume the defense of the Claim with counsel of his own choosing, and the cost of counsel will then be subject to possible indemnity pursuant to this Section 5. If Claimant assumes the defense of a Claim, it shall have the sole right and authority to conduct the defense and/or settle the Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate, but (subject to negotiation of a joint defense agreement) shall share information concerning the Claim with Indemnitor or his counsel.
5.3.5 Settlement of Claims. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, an Indemnitor shall not be obligated to settle a Claim, nor shall a Claimant be entitled to its settlement (whether by set-off against Contingent Payments or directly from the Indemnitor) prior to the Determination Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Determination Date” shall mean the first date on which a court order, arbitration award or settlement stipulation that an event has occurred for which the Claimant is entitled to indemnity hereunder becomes final, binding and non-appealable.
5.4 Exclusivity. Except in the case of fraud, willful misconduct or criminal conduct, the remedies provided in this Section 5 shall be exclusive of any other rights or remedies which might be available to a party upon the occurrence of any event described in Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, either under this Agreement or at law or in equity. Nothing contained herein, however, shall preclude a party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief under circumstances where such relief is available, with the proviso that the moving party shall not be entitled to ancillary relief in the nature of damages or fee awards unless specifically provided for in this Agreement.

 

19


 

5.5 Insurance Coverage. A Claim for indemnification shall be reduced to the extent that the Claim is covered by insurance from a financially-responsible insurer which has responded to the Claim by written notification that it intends to defend and pay for such Claim. All applicable insurance coverage shall be the primary resource for paying covered Claims; and all rights of subrogation are hereby waived.
5.6 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 5 shall be subject to the following limitations:
  (a)  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5, the Seller Indemnified Parties (specifically being the officers, directors, shareholders and Note holders of Buyer) shall have no indemnification obligations whatsoever to the Seller or to the Buyer post closing arising from any and all claims, losses, damages, actions, suits and claims, or legal, administrative, arbitral, governmental or other proceedings or investigations against any Seller Indemnified Party arising from the obligations set forth on Schedule A hereto and being assumed by Seller.
  (b)  
The Seller and the Buyer shall release and remise Thomas L. DiStefano III and Wendy Smith for any and all claims, losses, damages, actions, suits and claims, or legal, administrative, arbitral, governmental or other proceedings or investigations against each of them for any actions prior to Closing or hereafter arising from their respective roles and duties with Buyer, except in the event of negligence or intentional misconduct of either Thomas L. DiStefano III or Wendy Smith, as may be applicable, as adjudicated by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
  (c)  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5, the indemnification obligations of Seller Indemnified Parties (specifically being the officers, directors, shareholders and Note holders of Buyer) under Section 5 shall be limited to the maximum sum of $225,000 in aggregate.
SECTION 6 — COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES.
SELLER will conduct the Business prior to the Closing Date in the normal course and will use reasonable efforts to preserve and retain its goodwill and preserve its business relationships with customers, suppliers and others. In addition, SELLER covenants that, from the date hereof until the Closing:
  (a)  
the Business will be conducted only in the ordinary course, and none of its properties or assets will be sold or otherwise disposed of, mortgaged, pledged or otherwise hypothecated, except in the ordinary course of business;
  (b)

20


 

  (c)

  (f)  
SELLER will continue until the Closing to carry insurance in the forms and in the amounts now carried;
  (g)  
SELLER will permit BUYER to have access to its books and records with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets; and
  (h)  
SELLER will make the Business and the Purchased Assets available for observation by BUYER between the date of this Agreement and Closing, during normal working hours, to assist BUYER in learning the Business.
SECTION 7 — ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE
7.1 The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the acquired assets in accordance with a mutually acceptable allocation schedule which will be prepared prior to the Closing and, which schedule will be prepared in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. In connection with the determination of the foregoing allocation schedule, the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide such information as any of them shall reasonably request. The parties will each report the federal, state and local and other tax consequences of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby (including the filing of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in a manner consistent with such allocation.
SECTION 8 — POST CLOSING MATTERS.
8.1 Access to Records and Persons. SELLER and BUYER agree that, both before and after the Closing, each will have access, upon prior reasonable written request and at any reasonable time during normal business hours, to the other’s officers and employees and to its books and records relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business, and each shall have the right to make copies of such books and records. Neither party to this Agreement shall destroy or discard any books and records related to the Business or Purchased Assets for a period of five (5) years after the date of Closing without first providing the other party adequate opportunity to retrieve such books and records.

 

21

  (b)  
by either party if the Closing shall not have occurred by July 15, 2010, and the party seeking termination is not in material default of its obligations under this Agreement;
  (c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall relieve any party from liability for any breach hereof.
SECTION 10 — DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
10.1 Exclusivity and Confidentiality. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any document delivered at Closing, including, but not limited to, claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 5 shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 10, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of any such disputes. All negotiations pursuant to this Section are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and State Rules of Evidence.

The neutral third party will be selected from the CPR Panels of Neutrals, with the assistance of CPR, unless the parties agree otherwise.

8. Default and Remedies

All funds derived to Borrower from any such financing shall be paid to Lender within five (5) days of the closing of any financing of Borrower.
If Borrower defaults and Lender engages any attorney to enforce or construe any provision of this Note, or as a consequence of any default whether or not any legal action is filed, Borrower immediately shall pay on demand all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other Lender’s costs, together with interest from the date of demand until paid at the highest rate of interest then applicable to the unpaid principal, as if the unpaid attorneys’ fees and costs had been added to the principal.

Borrower and all endorsers, sureties, and guarantors consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and they agree that additional borrowers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to them or affecting their liability hereunder.
(b) Lender shall not be considered by any act of omission or commission to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Lender, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in writing.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the holder hereof shall never be entitled to collect or apply as interest on this obligation any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law. If the holder of this Note ever collects or applies as interest any such excess, the excess amount shall be applied to reduce the principal debt; and if the principal debt is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid forthwith to Borrower. In determining whether the interest paid or payable in any specific case exceeds the highest lawful rate, the holder and Borrower shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects of these; and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the obligation so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the term.
