B.        In consideration of the Indemnified Parties remaining as a guarantor on the Loans, Propell has agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any amounts paid to the SBA if the SBA or the Bank demands payment from the Indemnified Parties with respect to the guarantee


AGREEMENT


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:


1.         Propell agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties, from and against any loss, required payments, damage, expense, liability or claim, or actions or proceedings in respect thereof (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced, collectively “Damages”) which the Indemnified Parties may incur or which may be made or brought against the Indemnified Parties as a result of a demand for payment made against the Indemnified Parties by the SBA or the Bank with respect to the guarantee under the Loans.


If any Damages are paid by the Indemnified Parties as a result of a demand for payment made against the Indemnified Parties by the SBA or the Bank with respect to the guarantee under the Loans, the Indemnified Parties shall promptly notify Propell in writing of the institution of such action; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release Propell from its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties hereunder except to the extent Propell actually incurs damage by reason of such failure and shall not release Propell from any other obligations or liabilities to the indemnified Parties in any event. Propell shall immediately upon receipt of evidence that the Indemnified Parties have paid such Damages, remit to the Indemnified Parties an amount of money equal to the Damages paid by the indemnified Parties.
