13

ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
| 9.1 | Indemnification by the Seller. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless MGOL, and each of its respective directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, attorney’s and representatives, from and against any and all Losses which may be incurred or suffered by any such party and which may arise out of or result from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in Sections 3.14 through 3.20 of this Agreement made as of the Closing Date. No claim under this Section 9.1 may be made unless notice is given pursuant to Section 9.3 within one year from the closing. |
| 9.2 | Indemnification by MGOL. MGOL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless GV and Seller from and against any and all Losses which may be incurred or suffered by any such party hereto and which may arise out of or result from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of MGOL contained in this Agreement made as of the Closing Date, or from the operation and/or assets of GV subsequent to the Closing Date. |
| 9.3 | Notice to Indemnifying Party. If any party (the "Indemnified Party") receives notice of any claim or other commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which any other party (or parties) (the "Indemnifying Party") is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.1 or 9.2, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising there from and the basis of the claim. Such notice shall be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party for indemnification hereunder, but the failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice of a claim shall not adversely affect the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification hereunder unless the defense of that claim is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless suit shall have been instituted against it and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit after notification thereof as provided in Section 9.4 |
15
| 9.4 | Defense by Indemnifying Party. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding (i) if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim (subject to any limitations on such liability contained in this Agreement) and (ii) if it provides assurances, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, that it will be financially able to satisfy such claims in full if the same are decided adversely. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, it may use counsel of its choice to prosecute such defense, subject to the approval of such counsel by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party, in its sole discretion, determines that there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party (or any constituent party thereof) and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party (or any constituent party thereof) shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary to pursue the resolution thereof in a prompt and diligent manner. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to consent to a settlement of, or the stipulation of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required from the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all Losses arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof (as well as all other Losses theretofore incurred by the Indemnified Party which then remain unpaid or unreimbursed), (ii) in the case of a settlement, the settlement is conditioned upon a complete release by the claimant of the Indemnified Party and (iii) such settlement or judgment does not require the Encumbrance of any asset of the Indemnified Party or impose any restriction upon its conduct of business. |
TERMINATION
| 10.1 | Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Closing: |
| | (a) | by mutual written agreement of Parties; or |
| | (b) | by either GV or MGOL upon notification to the non-terminating party by the terminating party provided that: |
16
| (i) | the terminating party is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the non-terminating party set forth in this Agreement such that the conditions in Sections 7.1, 7.2, 8.1 or 8.2 will not be satisfied; or |
| (ii) | any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent Governmental or Regulatory Authority shall have issued an order making illegal or otherwise permanently restricting, preventing or otherwise prohibiting the Exchange and such order shall have become final and non-appealable, or |
| (iii) | the transaction has not closed by September 1, 2009. |
| | (c) | by GV on or before August 1, 2009, if it discovers though its due diligence review of MGOL any breach of a representation or warranty of MGOL or a condition that is reasonably likely to prevent MGOL from being able to meet a covenant or a condition to Closing under this Agreement, provided that to terminate this Agreement under this provision, GV must give written notice of the breach or condition to MGOL and MGOL will have five days in which to cure the breach or condition, which if not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of GV, GV shall then provide written notice of termination of this Agreement within two days of the end of the cure period. If GV elects not to terminate this Agreement after serving written notice of a breach or condition, then the representation or warranty or the covenant or condition will be deemed modified to either create an exception or waiver, and GV will not be in breach or put into breach of this Agreement for any purpose thereto related. |
