BACKGROUND
A. The respective Boards of Directors of Pubco and the Company have determined that an acquisition of the Company’s outstanding shares by Pubco through a voluntary share exchange with the Selling Shareholders (the “Exchange”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, would be fair and in the best interests of their respective shareholders, and such Boards of Directors, along with the Selling Shareholders, have approved such Exchange, pursuant to which shares of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.04) and all securities convertible or exchangeable into capital stock of the Company (collectively the “Shares”) will be exchanged (including by reservation for future issuances) for the right to receive 20,900,000 shares of common stock of Pubco (the “Exchange Shares”).
B. At the Closing, the Selling Shareholders’ ownership interest in Pubco shall represent approximately 50.00% of the issued and outstanding shares of Pubco.
C. Pubco, the Company, and the Selling Shareholders desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Exchange and also to prescribe various conditions to the Exchange.
D. For federal income tax purposes, the parties intend that the Exchange shall qualify as reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Pubco is in compliance with all Environmental Laws in all material respects.

No claim has ever been made in writing or otherwise addressed to Pubco by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction where Pubco does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. The unpaid Taxes of Pubco did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Pubco SEC Documents, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the financial statements (rather than in any notes thereto). Since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Pubco SEC Documents, Pubco has not incurred any liability for Taxes outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past custom and practice. As of the Closing Date, the unpaid Taxes of Pubco will not exceed the reserve for Tax liability (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the books and records of Pubco.
(ii) No material claim for unpaid Taxes has been made or become a lien against the property of Pubco or is being asserted against Pubco, no audit of any Tax Return of Pubco is being conducted by a tax authority, and no extension of the statute of limitations on the assessment of any Taxes has been granted by Pubco and is currently in effect. Pubco has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party.

7.02 Indemnification
(a) Pubco shall indemnify and hold the Selling Shareholders and the Company harmless for, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, deficiencies, costs, penalties, interest and expenses (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) (collectively, “Losses”) to which Pubco may become subject resulting from or arising out of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by Pubco as set forth herein.
(b) The Company and the Selling Shareholders shall jointly indemnify and hold Pubco and Pubco’s officers and directors (“Pubco’s Representatives”) harmless for, from and against any and all Losses to which Pubco or Pubco’s Representatives may become subject resulting from or arising out of (1) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company or Selling Shareholders as set forth herein; or (2) any and all liabilities arising out of or in connection with: (A) any of the assets of the Company prior to the Closing; or (B) the operations of the Company prior to the Closing.
23
7.03 Notice of Indemnification
Promptly after the receipt by any indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim with respect thereto is or may be made against any indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Article VII, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such action or proceeding and give such Indemnifying Party a copy of such claim and/or process and all legal pleadings in connection therewith. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Article VII, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have, upon request within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, but not in any event after the settlement or compromise of such claim, the right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee determines that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially and adversely affect it, other than solely as a result of money payments required to be reimbursed in full by such Indemnifying Party under this Article VII or if a conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such claim or suit; and, provided, further, that such settlement or compromise shall not, unless consented to in writing by such Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, be conclusive as to the liability of such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee. In any event, the Indemnitee, such Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise of, any such asserted liability, and in cases where the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such asserted liability at the Indemnitee’s own expense. In the event that such Indemnifying Party shall decline to participate in or assume the defense of such action, prior to paying or settling any claim against which such Indemnifying Party is, or may be, obligated under this Article VII to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall first supply such Indemnifying Party with a copy of a final court judgment or decree holding the Indemnitee liable on such claim or, failing such judgment or decree, the terms and conditions of the settlement or compromise of such claim. An Indemnitee’s failure to supply such final court judgment or decree or the terms and conditions of a settlement or compromise to such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Article VII, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is defending the claim as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle the claim only with the consent of the Indemnitee.
