(c) Indemnification Procedure.
 
(i) The Person seeking indemnification under this Section 6.3 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give to the party(ies) from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (in the case of indemnification under Section 6.3(a), such notice shall be given to the Member) of any third-party claim which may give rise to any indemnity obligation under this Section 6.3, and the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of any such claim through counsel of its own choosing, by so notifying the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days of receipt of the Indemnified Party’s written notice; provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  Failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.  If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in any such defense assumed by the Indemnifying Party, it may do so at its sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists, or there are separate or additional defenses available to the Indemnified Party, that would make such separate representation advisable.  If the Indemnifying Party declines to assume any such defense or fails to diligently pursue any such defense, then the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, defending, settling and/or otherwise dealing with such claim, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel.  The parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in connection with the defense of any such claim.  The Indemnifying Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such claim, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) does not result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof, (B) does not involve any remedies other than monetary damages, and (C) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates for all liability arising out of such claim and any related claim.  The Indemnified Party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, settle, compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such claim.
 
(ii) If an indemnification claim by any Indemnified Party is not disputed by the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s having received written notice thereof, or has been resolved by a Law of a Governmental Entity, by a settlement of the indemnification claim in accordance with Section 6.3(c)(i) or by agreement of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (any of the foregoing, a “Resolution”), then (A) in the case of indemnification under Section 6.3(b), the Buyer will pay to the Member Indemnified Party promptly following such Resolution an amount in cash equal to the Losses of such Member Indemnified Party as set forth in such Resolution, or (B) in the case of indemnification under Section 6.3(a), the Buyer will deliver evidence of such Resolution to the Member, whereupon the Member will deliver to the Buyer Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Losses of such Buyer Indemnified Party as set forth in such Resolution.  At the election of the Member, the amount to be delivered to the Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence may be deducted from the Closing Stock Issuance.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 6.3(d), the depletion of the Closing Stock Issuance will not serve as a bar to recovery by the Buyer Indemnified Parties from the Member of any indemnifiable Losses, and the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to look directly to the Member for any Losses in excess of the such amounts, and such Losses will be the obligations of the Member as provided in Section 6.3(a) and will be paid to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party promptly following such Resolution.
 
(d) Limitations.
 
(i) The foregoing indemnification obligations will survive the consummation of the Unit Purchase for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the right to indemnification arising out of, based upon or related to any inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.13, 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.6, 4.7 and the first sentence of Section 2.14(a) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) will survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, including any extensions thereof, or, if no statute of limitations is applicable thereto, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date; and provided, further, that claims first asserted in writing within the applicable survival period will not thereafter be barred.
 
(ii) Except for any indemnification claims arising out of, based upon or related to fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or any indemnification claims arising out of, based upon or related to any of the Fundamental Representations (none of which are subject to the limitations in this Section 6.3(d)(ii)), the Member will have no liability to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification claims brought under Section 6.3(a)(i) until the total amount of Losses in respect of indemnification claims under such section exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate, and then the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to recover only such amounts in excess of $50,000 (which threshold, for the avoidance of doubt, will be determined by aggregating all such indemnification claims rather than on a per claim basis).

(v) (A) Except for any indemnification claims arising out of, based upon or related to fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or any indemnification claims arising out of, based upon or related to any of the Fundamental Representations (none of which will be counted towards the Representations Claims Cap), the maximum liability of Buyer for any and all Losses in respect of indemnification claims brought under Section 6.3(b)(i) shall be limited to an amount equal to the Representations Claims Cap, and (B) except for any indemnification claims arising out of, based upon or related to fraud or intentional misrepresentation (none of which will be counted towards the Aggregate Claims Cap), the maximum liability of Buyer for any and all Losses in respect of indemnification claims brought under Section 6.3(b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the Aggregate Claims Cap.
 
(vi) The right of an Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder will not be affected by any investigation conducted, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired), at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy of, or compliance with, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, except that, in such event, an Indemnified Party will not be entitled to indemnification with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that would result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII if (i) the Indemnifying Party provided notice under Section 6.4 with respect to such inaccuracy or breach and (ii) the failure of such condition provides the Indemnified Party the right to terminate this Agreement under Article VIII (without regard to notices or cure periods) or the ability to not consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
(vii) In calculating the amount of Losses recoverable pursuant to this Section 6.3, the amount of such Losses shall be reduced by (A) any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party from any unaffiliated insurance carrier offsetting the amount of such Loss, net of any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in obtaining such insurance proceeds (including the payment of a deductible with respect to the same and any premium increase directly attributable thereto), and (B) any recoveries actually received by the Indemnified Party from other Persons pursuant to indemnification (or otherwise) with respect thereto, net of any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in obtaining such payment. If any Losses for which indemnification payments have actually been received by the Indemnified Party hereunder are subsequently reduced by any insurance payment or other recovery actually received from another Person, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit the amount of such recovery to the applicable Indemnifying Party (up to the amount of the payment by the applicable Indemnifying Party, after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party (i) in procuring such recovery or (ii) in connection with such indemnification to the extent required to be, but which have not been, paid or reimbursed).

(e) The parties to this Agreement agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to Section 6.3 as an adjustment to the aggregate Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes.
 
Section 6.4 Notification of Certain Matters.  From the date of this Agreement to the Closing, the Company or the Member, as applicable, will give prompt notice to the Buyer, and the Buyer will give prompt notice to the Company and the Member, of (a) the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event the occurrence or nonoccurrence of which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Closing, (b) any failure of the Company, the Member or the Buyer, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder, (c) any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions, (d) in the case of the Company, any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect, or (e) in the case of the Buyer, any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in a Buyer Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.4 will not cure such breach or non-compliance or limit or otherwise affect the rights, obligations or remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.
 
Section 6.5 Non-Competition.  As a material inducement to the Buyer’s consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, including, without limitation, the Buyer’s acquisition of the goodwill associated with the business of the Company, the Member agrees as to sub-sections (a)-(d) below.  However, in the event of a breach by the Buyer of this Agreement with respect specifically to the payment of the Closing Stock Issuance, sub-sections (a)-(d) below shall be null and void.
 
(a) The Member will not, for a period of one (1) year following the cessation of his employment with the Company or the Buyer (or if longer, co-terminus with any non-compete provisions the Member enters into with the Company or the Buyer) (computed by excluding from such computation any time during which the Member is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in violation of any provision of this Section 6.5(a)) (the “Restricted Period”), directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, engage in, invest in or otherwise participate in (whether as an owner, employee, officer, director, manager, consultant, independent contractor, agent, partner, advisor, or in any other capacity) any business that competes with the business of the Company (such business, the “Restricted Business”) in any Restricted Area, or at any time following the Closing Date make any use of any Company Intellectual Property other than in connection with the business of the Company. Notwithstanding the above, the foregoing covenant shall not be deemed to prohibit the acquisition as a passive investment of not more than five percent (5%) of the capital stock of a competing business whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter and shall not be deemed to prohibit the acquisition of any shares of capital stock of the Buyer.
 
(b) The Member will not, for a period of one (1) year following the cessation of his employment with the Company or the Buyer (or if longer, co-terminus with any non-compete provisions the Member enters into with the Company or the Buyer) (computed by excluding from such computation any time during which the Member is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in violation of any provision of this Section 6.5(b)), directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, (i) solicit or hire (or assist or encourage any other Person to solicit or hire), or otherwise interfere in any manner with any employee, advertiser or strategic partner of any of the Buyer, the Company, or any of the Buyer’s subsidiaries (each, a “Restricted Entity”), other than by general public advertisement or other such general solicitation not specifically targeted at any such Person, (ii) induce or request any customer of any Restricted Entity to reduce, cancel or terminate its business with such Restricted Entity or otherwise interfere in any manner in any Restricted Entity’s business relationship with any of its customers, or (iii) solicit or accept business from any customer of any Restricted Entity in connection with a Restricted Business.  For purposes of this Section 6.5(b), a Person shall be deemed to be an employee, customer, advertiser or strategic partner of any Restricted Entity if any such relationship existed or exists at any time (A) during the thirty (30) days prior to the execution of this Agreement or (B) after the Closing Date and during the operation of this provision, and any such Person shall cease to have the applicable status one year after the termination of any such relationship.

 
-21-

 
 
(c) The Member agrees that the foregoing covenants are reasonable with respect to their duration, geographic area and scope, to protect, among other things, the Buyer’s acquisition of the goodwill associated with the business of the Company.  If a judicial or arbitral determination is made that any provision of this Section 6.5 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against the Member, then the provisions of this Section 6.5 shall be rendered void with respect to the Member only to the extent such judicial or arbitral determination finds such provisions to be unenforceable.  In that regard, any judicial or arbitral authority construing this Section 6.5 shall be empowered to sever any prohibited business activity, time period or geographical area from the coverage of any such agreements and to apply the remaining provisions of this Section 6.5 to the remaining business activities, time periods and/or geographical areas not so severed.  Moreover, in the event that any provision, or the application thereof, of this Section 6.5 is determined not to be specifically enforceable, the Buyer may be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of the breach of such agreement.
 
(d) The Member acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Section 6.5.  The Member acknowledges that he has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits to justify the restrictions in this Section 6.5.  The Member also acknowledges and understands that these restrictions are reasonably necessary to protect interests of the Buyer, including, without limitation, protection of the goodwill acquired, and the Member acknowledges that such restrictions will not prevent him from conducting businesses that are not included in the Restricted Business set forth in this Section 6.5 during the periods covered by the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6.5.  The Member also acknowledges that the Contemplated Transactions constitute full and adequate consideration for the execution and enforceability of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.5.
 
Section 6.6 Employee Matters.
 
(a) An employment agreement shall be executed at, and shall be a condition precedent for, Closing for Thomas M. Moreno.  Under his employment agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto, Mr. Moreno shall continue to serve as President of the Company and shall be entitled to receive a base salary of $20,000 per month.  The employment agreement shall have a three-year term and provide for other terms customary for employment arrangements of this type; the final terms of which will be mutually agreed upon by both the Buyer and Mr. Moreno.  No rights to employment will exist unless and until such employment agreement is executed and delivered.
 
(b) Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (ii) shall alter or limit the Buyer’s or the Company’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any particular benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement as long as the Buyer otherwise satisfies its obligations under this Section 6.6, (iii) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee (except for Mr. Moreno) any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment, or (iv) is intended to confer upon any individual (including employees, retirees, or dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees) any right as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
 
Section 6.7 Tax Covenants.
 
(a) To the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Company shall close or terminate (or cause to be closed or terminated), as of the close of business on the Closing Date, each Tax period relating to any Company Tax or Company Tax Return.
 
(b) To the extent not filed prior hereto, the Member will prepare or cause to be prepared, in accordance with applicable Law and consistent with past practice of the Company, each Company Tax Return for each Pre-Closing Period.  At least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which a Company Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Member will deliver such Company Tax Return to the Buyer.  No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which a Company Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), Buyer may make reasonable changes and revisions to such Company Tax Return (provided that any changes do not require the Company to incur any additional tax obligations).  The Member will cooperate fully in making any reasonable changes and revisions to any Company Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period.  At least three (3) days prior to the date on which a Company Tax Return (as reasonably revised by the Buyer) for a Pre-Closing Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Member will pay to the Buyer an amount equal to any Company Tax due with respect to such Company Tax Return, and the Buyer will file such Company Tax Return.

(c) Buyer will prepare and file each Company Tax Return for any Post-Closing Period or any Straddle Period in accordance with applicable Law.  At least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which a Company Tax Return for a Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), Buyer will deliver such Company Tax Return to the Member.  No later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which a Company Tax Return for any Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Member may make reasonable changes and revisions to such Company Tax Return.  Buyer will cooperate fully in making any reasonable changes and revisions to any Company Tax Return for any Straddle Period.  At least three (3) days prior to the date on which such Company Tax Return (as reasonably revised by the Member) for a Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Member will pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Company Tax on such Company Tax Return to the extent such Company Tax relates, as determined under Section 6.7(d), to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date.
 
(d) In the case of a Company Tax payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Company Tax that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will (i) in the case of a Tax other than a Tax based upon or related to income, employment, sales or other transactions, franchise or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of all of the days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of a Tax based upon or related to income, employment, sales or other transactions, franchise or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date and such Tax was based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.
 
(e) Each party will promptly forward to the other a copy of all written communications from any Governmental Entity relating to any Company Tax or Company Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period.  Upon reasonable request, each party will make available to the other all information, records and other documents relating to any Company Tax or any Company Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period.  The parties will preserve all information, records and other documents relating to a Company Tax or a Company Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period until the date that is six (6) months after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the Company Tax or the Company Tax Return.  Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any information, records or documents relating to any Company Tax or any Company Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period, the applicable Member will give to Buyer reasonable written notice and, to the extent Buyer so requests, such Member will permit Buyer to take possession of all such information, records and documents.  In addition, the parties will cooperate with each other in connection with all matters relating to the preparation of any Company Tax Return or the payment of any Company Tax for a Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period and in connection with any audit, action, suit, claim or proceeding relating to any such Company Tax or Company Tax Return, and Buyer will have the right to control any such audit, action, suit, claim or proceeding.  Nothing in this Section 6.7(e) will affect or limit any indemnity or similar provision or any representations, warranties or obligations of any of the parties.  Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in complying with the provisions of this Section 6.7(e).
 
(f) Buyer and the Member shall each be liable for and each shall pay when due fifty percent (50%) of all Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions.  The party required by any legal requirement to file a Tax Return or other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall do so within the time period prescribed by Law, and the other party shall promptly reimburse such party for any Transfer Taxes for which the other party is responsible upon receipt of notice that such Transfer Taxes are payable.  To the extent permitted by any applicable legal requirement, the parties hereto shall cooperate in taking reasonable steps to minimize any Transfer Taxes.
 
(g) The Member will make or request a refund of any Company Tax or with respect to any Company Tax Return or amend any Company Tax Return, unless the Buyer, in its reasonable discretion, consents in writing thereto.  The Buyer will not be obligated to seek or request any refund of any Company Tax or amend any Company Tax Return, unless Buyer is reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs incurred in preparing such Tax Return and Buyer determines in its reasonable discretion that neither the Buyer nor any of its subsidiaries will be adversely impacted by filing such Tax Return.
 
(h) Any Tax sharing or similar agreement with respect to or involving the Company will be terminated as of the Closing Date, without liability to any party, and will have no further effect for any year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year).  Any amounts payable under any Tax sharing or similar agreement will be cancelled as of the Closing Date, without any liability to the Company.
