-33-

ARTICLE VII
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

7.1 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Parties. From the Closing Date and until the 90 day anniversary thereof, in the event Seller, on one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand (each, as applicable, an “Indemnifying Party”) breaches any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, and provided that Buyer, in the event of a breach by Seller, or Seller, in the event of a breach by Buyer (each, as applicable, an “Indemnified Party”) makes a written claim for indemnification within the 90 day period following the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), then the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any and all Damages, the Indemnified Party shall suffer that are caused proximately by the breach. For purpose of this Section 7, “Damages” shall mean all actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, charges, complaints, claims, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, damages, dues, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities, obligations, taxes, liens, losses, expenses and fees, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, but excluding consequential, incidental or indirect damages, lost profits or punitive damages.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, neither Party shall have any liability with respect to claims under Section 7(a) unless the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $10,000 (the “Indemnification Basket”) and then only for the amount of the excess of the Damages over such amount; and neither Party shall have any liability (for indemnification or otherwise) for any Damages that exceed $105,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided, however, that the Indemnification Basket and Indemnification Cap shall not apply to claims related to or arising from (i) fraud, (ii) intentional misrepresentation, and (iii) the Assumed Liabilities (to the extent Seller incurs Damages) and the Excluded Liabilities (to the extent Buyer incurs Damages); and provided, further, that the Survival Period for claims related to or arising from clauses (i) and (ii) of the foregoing proviso of this Section 7(b) shall be the applicable statute of limitations period.

-34-

(c) All claims by an Indemnifying Party under this Article 7 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(i) In the event that (A) any claim, demand or proceeding is asserted or instituted by any party other than the Parties which could give rise to Damages for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder (such claim, demand or proceeding, a “Third Party Claim”) or (B) any Indemnified Party hereunder shall have a claim to be indemnified by any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim (such claim, a “Direct Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness send to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying the nature of such claim or demand and the amount or estimated amount (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) (a “Claim Notice”) provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent that the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced.

(ii) In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, and upon request of the Indemnified Party shall, retain counsel of its choice, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may reasonably designate in connection with such claim or demand and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel with regard thereto. In the event that an Indemnifying Party shall retain such counsel, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (A) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (B) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one such firm for all such Indemnified Parties. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any claim or demand which the Indemnifying Party defends, or, if appropriate and related to the claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim or demand, or any cross-complaint against any person. No claim or demand may be settled without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Unless the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed in writing that any and all Damages to the Indemnified Party related to a claim or demand are fully covered by the indemnities provided herein, no such claim or demand may be settled without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

-35-

(iii) In the event of a Direct Claim, unless the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claim Notice that it disputes such claim, the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and shall be paid to the Indemnified Party promptly; provided, however, that if a final, non-appealable judicial determination is made that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to any such payment, it shall promptly repay the appropriate amounts to the Indemnifying Party.

ARTICLE VIII

8.1 Termination of Agreement.

(a) Buyer and Seller may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent;

(b) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller in the event Seller is in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, (i) would cause the conditions set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 6.2 not to be satisfied and (ii) is not cured upon the earlier of (x) 30 days following delivery by Buyer to Seller of written notice of such breach, or (y) the Termination Date;

(c) Seller may terminate this Agreement:

(i) by giving written notice to Buyer in the event Buyer is in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, (x) would cause the conditions set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 6.3 not to be satisfied and (y) is not cured upon the earlier of (a) 30 days following delivery by Seller to Buyer of written notice of such breach or (b) the Termination Date; or

-36-

(ii) upon Seller’s entry into a letter of intent, term sheet, or similar document to accept or approve a Superior Proposal.

(d) Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement if the Closing shall not have occurred by September 30, 2008 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of this Agreement has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date; and

(e) Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement if a Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (including the failure to have taken an action), in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable.

8.2 Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 above shall be effective immediately upon delivery of a valid written notice of the terminating Party to the other Party hereto. If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, all obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party (except for any liability of any Party for willful breaches of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article IX and of the Confidentiality Obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event Seller seeks to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii), Seller shall pay Buyer a fee of $200,000.
