any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser prior to the Closing.

 

(a)

In the event that any legal proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand ("Claim") shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 9.1 hereof, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably and promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within five (5) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so.  If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Losses under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Claim.  If the Indemnified Party defends any Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the Expenses of defending such Claim upon submission of periodic bills.  If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if, (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any Claim.  The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim.

 

(b)

After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within 10 business days after the date of such notice.

 

(c)

The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party's obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

 

(a)

issue a news release reporting the Closing;

 

(b)

file a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the terms of this Agreement with audited financial statements of Company as well as any required pro forma financial information or other information of Company and Purchaser as required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

 

(c)

file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a report on Form 14f-1 disclosing the change in control of Purchaser.

 

(a)

The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Texas over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts.  The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

(b)

Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1.
