The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Article VIII. Indemnification

Section 8.01 General Indemnification. If the First Closing occurs, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and the Buyer’s Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, employees, agents, equity holders, successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party arising out of, based upon or resulting from any breach of any representations or warranties of the Company herein or breach by Company of, or any failure of the Company to perform, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement by the Company, except as a result of willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party.

Section 8.02 Procedures for Indemnification. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder:

(a)

Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Company is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Company reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Company forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Company shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Company’s expense and by the Company’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Company assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.02(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Company’s right to control the defense thereof, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party.

(b)

Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.02(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Company desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Company shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party objects to such offer, or does not provide a response to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice (in which case the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to not have consented to such offer), the Indemnified Party shall thereafter assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event the maximum liability of the Company as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party consents to such firm offer the Company may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.02(a), the Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c)

Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Company reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Company forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Company shall have thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Company and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Company’s investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Company or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Company does not so respond within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Company shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(a)

Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request made by the Company, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Company and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Company in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

Section 8.03 Payment. Upon a determination of liability under this Article VIII, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnified Party the amount so determined within five (5) Business Days after the date of such determination. If there should be a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Agreement, the Company shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation that is not subject to dispute. Upon the payment in full of any amounts due under this Article VIII with respect to any claim, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such claim.

Section 8.04 Effect of Knowledge on Indemnification. The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations.

(b)

Every right and remedy provided herein shall be cumulative with every other right and remedy, whether conferred herein, at law, or in equity, and may be enforced concurrently herewith, and no waiver by any Party of the performance of any obligation by another Party shall be construed as a waiver of the same or any other default then, theretofore, or thereafter occurring or existing.

(c)

Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any Party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition. No notice to or demand on a Party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that Party or impairs any right of the Party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved Party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

Section 9.04 No Consequential or Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, no Party shall seek, nor shall any Party be liable for, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, under any tort, contract, equity, or other legal theory, with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith, other than for any punitive damages actually ordered by a Governmental Authority and thereafter finally paid.

Section 9.06 Successors and Assigns; Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 9.07 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This contract is strictly between the Parties and, except as specifically provided herein, no director, officer, shareholder, employee, agent, independent contractor or any other Person shall be deemed to be a third-Party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 9.08 Governing Law; Etc. This Agreement shall be deemed executed, delivered and performed in Nevis. This Agreement shall be solely and exclusively construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed solely and exclusively by the internal laws of Nevis, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of Nevis or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Nevis. The Company irrevocably and exclusively consents to and expressly agrees that binding arbitration in Nevis conducted by the Arbitrator Conflict Resolution Centre shall be their sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or any other agreement between the Parties, the Company’s transfer agent or the relationship of the Parties or their Affiliates, and that the arbitration shall be conducted via telephone or teleconference. If the arbitrator is not available, a different arbitrator or law firm in Nevis shall be chosen by the Buyer and agreed upon by the Company. The Company covenants and agrees to provide written notice to Buyer via email prior to bringing any action or arbitration action against the Company’s transfer agent or any action against any Person that is not a party to this Agreement that is related in any way to this Agreement or any of the exhibits under this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, and further agrees to timely notify Buyer to any such action. The Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Agreement are material terms to induce Buyer to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this Section 9.08, Buyer would not have entered into the Transaction Documents. In the event that the Buyer needs to take action to protect their rights under the Agreement, the Buyer may commence action in any jurisdiction needed with the understanding that this Agreement shall still be solely and exclusively construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed solely and exclusively by the internal laws of Nevis, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of Nevis or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Nevis. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other related transaction document by email. This Section 9.08 and provision of the Agreement will not apply to the Confession of Judgment.

Any provisions of the Note which conflict with the provisions of this Section 9.08 shall take precedence with respect to the Note.

Section 9.09 Specific Performance. Each Party agrees that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that each Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity.

Section 9.10 Survival. The representations and warranties in Article IV and Article V of this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the First Closing Date, and no claim for indemnification may be made after such time.

Section 9.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall be but a single instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
