Section 2.11. Purpose of Investment.  The Company Shareholder is acquiring the Exchange Shares for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any part thereof to others.  The Company Shareholder acknowledges the Exchange Shares cannot be sold or otherwise transferred unless either (a) the transfer of such securities is registered under the Securities Act or (b) an exemption from registration of such securities is available and the Company Shareholder furnishes Acquiror with an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Acquiror that the Exchange Shares may be transferred pursuant to such exemption.  The Company Shareholder understands and acknowledges that the Acquiror is under no obligation to register the Exchange Shares for sale under the Securities Act, except as described in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 Section 9.02. Indemnification Obligations of Acquiror and Acquiror Stockholder.  From and after the Closing Date and until the expiration of the Survival Period, the Company shall reimburse, indemnify, and hold harmless Jonathan Patton, Acquirors sole director and officer who held office immediately prior to the Closing, and Acquiror Stockholder (each such Person and his heirs, executors, administrators, agents, successors and assigns is referred to herein as an "Acquiror Company Indemnified Party") against and in respect of any and all Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any Acquiror Company Indemnified Party, which arises or results from a third-party claim brought against an Acquiror Company Indemnified Party to the extent based on (i) a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any breach by the Company of any covenant, obligation or other agreement made by the Company in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or (iii) a third party claim based upon any acts or omissions by the Acquiror or the Company after the Closing provided such claim is not based upon acts or omissions of the Acquiror Company Indemnified Party.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Acquiror Company Indemnified Party for any Losses based on the diminution in value of the Acquiror Company Common Stock.

Section 9.04. Indemnification Procedures.
 
(a) In order for any Acquiror Company Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party (collectively, an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Article X of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of its claim for indemnification to the party from whom indemnity pursuant to this Agreement is claimed (an “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness after determining to make such claim.  The failure by any Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve any relevant Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement, except to the extent that such claim for indemnification involves the claim of a third party against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure.  If an indemnifying party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by it of such notice that such Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement and such Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.  If an Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation or such other means as determined by the parties.

 
23

 
 
(b)  If the claim for indemnification involves a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole cost, expense and ultimate liability regardless of the outcome, and through counsel of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), to litigate, defend, settle or otherwise attempt to resolve such Third Party Claim;  provided, however, that if in the Indemnified Partys reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to select counsel of its own choosing, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.
 
(c) Notwithstanding the provision of Section 9.04(b), if in the Indemnified Partys reasonable judgment no such conflict exists, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, participate at its own expense in a defense of such Third Party Claim by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense unless (i) in the case where only money damages are sought, the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or (ii) in the case where equitable relief is sought, the Indemnified Party elects to participate in and jointly control the defense thereof.
 
(d) Whenever the Indemnifying Party controls the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may only settle or compromise the matter subject to indemnification without the consent of the Indemnified Party only if such settlement includes a complete release of all Indemnified Parties as to the matters in dispute and relates solely to money damages. The Indemnified Party will not unreasonably withhold or delay consent to any settlement or compromise that requires its consent.
 
(e) In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to timely defend, contest, or otherwise protect the Indemnified Party against any such claim or suit, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, defend, contest, or otherwise protect against the same, and make any compromise or settlement thereof, and in such event, or in the case where the Indemnified Party jointly controls such claim or suit, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover its costs thereof from the Indemnifying Party, including reasonable attorneys fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such claim or suit or the compromise or settlement thereof.
 
(f) The Indemnified Party shall cooperate and provide such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with the defense of the matter subject to indemnification and in connection with recovering from any third parties amounts that the Indemnifying Party may pay or be required to pay by way of indemnification hereunder.
 
(g) The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder shall be computed without regard to any insurance recovery related to such Losses.
 
(h) With respect to any Loss for which an Indemnified Party has made a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party prior to the termination of the Survival Period in accordance with this Agreement, the Survival Period shall be deemed continued until final resolution of such claim for indemnification.
