Insurance.
 
Set forth in Schedule 3.13 is a complete and accurate list and description of all policies of fire, liability, product liability, workers compensation, health and other forms of insurance presently in effect with respect to the business and properties of Company, true and correct copies of which have heretofore been delivered to Buyer. Schedule 3.13 includes, without limitation, the carrier, the description of coverage, the limits of coverage, retention or deductible amounts, amount of annual premiums, date of expiration and the date through which premiums have been paid with respect to each such policy, and any pending claims in excess of €5,000. All such policies are valid, outstanding and enforceable policies and provide insurance coverage for the properties, assets and operations of Company, of the kinds, in the amounts and against the risks customarily maintained by organizations similarly situated; and no such policy (nor any previous policy) provides for or is subject to any currently enforceable retroactive rate or premium adjustment, loss sharing arrangement or other actual or contingent liability arising wholly or partially out of events arising prior to the date hereof. Schedule 3.13 indicates each policy as to which (a) the coverage limit has been reached or (b) the total incurred losses to date equal 75% or more of the coverage limit.

Company has duly and timely made all claims it has been entitled to make under each policy of insurance. Since Inception all products liability and general liability policies maintained by or for the benefit of Company have been “occurrence” policies and not “claims made” policies. There is no claim by Company pending under any such policies as to which coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed by the underwriters of such policies, and neither Company nor any of the Seller knows of any basis for denial of any claim under any such policy. Company has not received any written notice from or on behalf of any insurance carrier issuing any such policy that insurance rates therefor will hereafter be substantially increased (except to the extent that insurance rates may be increased for all similarly situated risks) or that there will hereafter be a cancellation or an increase in a deductible (or an increase in premiums in order to maintain an existing deductible) or non-renewal of any such policy.

5.2
Noncompetition; Confidentiality.
 
For purposes of this Agreement, Principal shall mean Thomas W. Nash. Subject to the Closing, and as an inducement to Buyer to execute this Agreement and complete the transactions contemplated hereby, and in order to preserve the goodwill associated with the business of Company being acquired pursuant to this Agreement, and in addition to and not in limitation of any covenants contained in any agreement executed and delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, each Seller hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
 
5.2.(a) Covenant Not to Compete. For a period of two years from the Closing Date, neither Seller nor Principal of the Company will directly or indirectly:
 
(i) engage in, continue in or carry on any business which competes with the Business or is substantially similar thereto, including owning or controlling any financial interest in any corporation, partnership, firm or other form of business organization which is so engaged;
 
(ii) consult with, advise or assist in any way, whether or not for consideration, any corporation, partnership, firm or other business organization which is now or becomes a competitor of Company or Buyer in any aspect with respect to the Business, including, but not limited to, advertising or otherwise endorsing the products of any such competitor; soliciting customers or otherwise serving as an intermediary for any such competitor; loaning money or rendering any other form of financial assistance to or engaging in any form of business transaction on other than an arm’s length basis with any such competitor;
 
(iii) offer employment to an employee of Company, without the prior written consent of Buyer; or
 
(iv) engage in any practice the purpose of which is to evade the provisions of this covenant not to compete or to commit any act which adversely affects the Business;
 
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the ownership of securities of corporations which are listed on a national securities exchange or traded in a national over-the-counter market in an amount which shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding shares of any such corporation. The parties agree that the geographic scope of this covenant not to compete shall be Canada and the United States. The parties agree that Buyer may sell, assign or otherwise transfer this covenant not to compete, in whole or in part, to any person, corporation, firm or entity that purchases all or part of the business of the Company. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the provisions of this covenant not to compete are excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope or activity, it is expressly agreed that this covenant not to compete shall be construed so that the remaining provisions shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and effect, and any such over broad provisions shall be deemed, without further action on the part of any person, to be modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable in such jurisdiction.

Each Seller agrees that the provisions and restrictions contained in this Section 5.2 are necessary to protect the legitimate continuing interests of Buyer in acquiring the Shares, and that any violation or breach of these provisions will result in irreparable injury to Buyer for which a remedy at law would be inadequate and that, in addition to any relief at law which may be available to Buyer for such violation or breach and regardless of any other provision contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief as a court may grant after considering the intent of this Section 5.2.

8.3.(a) Notice and Defense. The party or parties to be indemnified (whether one or more, the “Indemnified Party”) will give the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice of any such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party will undertake the defense thereof by representatives chosen by it. In all matters concerning the Seller by virtue of joint and several liability, the Seller’s Agent shall give and receive notice and otherwise act in all respects on their behalf. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s duty or obligations under this Article 8, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending any such Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives all records and other materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party, for the use of the Indemnifying Party and its representatives in defending any such Claim, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.
 
8.3.(b) Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after notice of any such Claim, fails to defend such Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect to such Claim, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no right to challenge the Indemnified Party’s defense, compromise, settlement or consent to judgment therein.

To the extent set-off is made by an Indemnified Party in satisfaction or partial satisfaction of an indemnity obligation under this Article 8 that is disputed by the Indemnifying Party, upon a subsequent determination by final judgment not subject to appeal that all or a portion of such indemnity obligation was not owed to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount which was set off and not owed together with interest from the date of set-off until the date of such payment at an annual rate equal to the average annual rate in effect as of the date of the set-off, on those three maturities of United States Treasury obligations having a remaining life, as of such date, closest to the period from the date of the set-off to the date of such judgment. Upon judgment, determination, settlement or compromise of any third party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and/or to the Indemnified Party in reimbursement of any amount theretofore required to be paid by it, the amount so determined by judgment, determination, settlement or compromise and all other Claims of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, unless in the case of a judgment an appeal is made from the judgment. If the Indemnifying Party desires to appeal from an adverse judgment, then the Indemnifying Party shall post and pay the cost of the security or bond to stay execution of the judgment pending appeal. Upon the payment in full by the Indemnifying Party of such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to the rights of such Indemnified Party, to the extent not waived in settlement, against the third party who made such third party Claim.
