In the event the covenants contained in this Section 6.06 should be held by any court or other duly constituted judicial authority to be void or otherwise unenforceable in any particular jurisdiction or with respect to any particular activity or with respect to the period of restraint, then such covenants so affected shall be deemed to have been amended and modified so as to eliminate therefrom the particular jurisdiction or activity as to which such covenants are so held to be void or otherwise unenforceable or to reduce the period of restraint, and, as so modified and as to all other jurisdictions and activities covered hereby, the terms and provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

In the event that, for any reason, the Stockholders are not eligible to participate in such plan (or such plan no longer is available to the Surviving Corporation within the maximum premium amounts set forth above), then the Stockholders may obtain comparable coverage and AdStar shall reimburse them up to a maximum of $25,000 each per year (or, at their option, may continue to participate in the Surviving Corporation's new plan, with AdStar reimbursing each Stockholder for any deductibles in a maximum amount equal to $25,000 less all premums paid for their participation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders each shall contribute $10,000 per year toward their premiums or other payments as set forth above (and, in the event that either Stockholder is no longer employed by the Surviving Corporation, then such contribution shall be reduced to $2,500 per year).

To the extent that the Stockholders provide indemnification hereunder from claims that include rights by Edgil against third parties, the Stockholders shall be subrogated to the rights of Edgil as against such third parties.

(b) The aggregate amount required to be paid by the Stockholders under this Article X shall not exceed $1,000,000. (c) In the event any payment of the indemnity obligations of the Stockholders set forth in Section 10.01 is required to be made, the Stockholders may satisfy all or any part of such payment by delivery to AdStar of shares of AdStar Common Stock acquired by them pursuant to the Merger, which shares, for such purpose, shall be valued at the closing price of a share of AdStar Stock on the day immediately preceding the Closing.
