Section 8.04 Indemnification Procedures. If any action shall be brought against the Company Indemnified Parties in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Company Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify Parent in writing, and Parent shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Company Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Company Indemnified Parties except to the extent that the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by Parent in writing, Parent has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of Parent and the position of such Company Indemnified Party. Parent will not be liable to any Company Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII for any settlement by a Company Indemnified Party effected without Parent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

Section 8.05 Payment of Damages. In the event that the Company Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII for actual Damages incurred by them for a claim that was made following the Closing, the Parent shall, within thirty (30) days after the final determination of the amount of such Damages, issue to the Company Indemnified Parties that number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of such Damages by (y) the Fair Market Value per share of the Parent Common Stock as of the date (the “Determination Date”) of the submission of the notice of claim to Parent pursuant to Section 8.04. Such shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to the Stockholders pro rata, in proportion to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued (or issuable) to the Stockholders at the Closing (or at such time as Dissenting Shares cease to be Dissenting Shares). For purposes of this Section 8.05, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, with respect to a share of Parent Common Stock on any Determination Date, the average of the daily closing prices for the 10 consecutive business days prior to such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last sales price or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing high bid and low asked prices, in either case (a) as officially quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the NASDAQ Stock Market or such other market on which the Parent Common Stock is then listed for trading or quoted, or (b) if, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, the OTC Bulletin Board or the NASDAQ Stock Market is no longer the principal United States market for the Parent Common Stock, then as quoted on the principal United States market for the Parent Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of Parent, or (c) if, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, there exists no principal United States market for the Parent Common Stock, then as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Parent. Moreover, in the event that a claim is made pursuant to this Article VIII for a breach by Parent of Section 7.02(h), each of the Stockholders shall be issued such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as would cause them to hold that percentage of shares of Parent Common Stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis, that they were expected to hold immediately following the Effective Time (assuming such Stockholders had not acquired any securities of Parent following the Effective Time).
