The Corporation is not currently in violation of, or subject to any existing, pending or threatened investigation or inquiry by any governmental authority or to any remedial obligations under, any laws or regulations pertaining to health or the environment (hereinafter sometimes collectively called "Environmental Laws"), and this representation and warranty would continue to be true and correct following disclosure to the applicable governmental authorities of all relevant facts, conditions and circumstances, if any, pertaining to the assets and operations of the Corporation. To the best knowledge of the Corporation and Shareholder, the assets of the Corporation have never been used in a manner that would be in violation of any of the Environmental Laws. The Corporation has not obtained and is not required to obtain, and the Corporation has no knowledge of any reason Purchaser will be required to obtain, any permits, licenses or similar authorizations to construct, occupy, operate or use any buildings, improvements, fixtures and equipment owned or leased by the Corporation by reason of any Environmental Laws. To the best knowledge of the Corporation and Shareholder, none of the assets owned or leased by the Corporation are on any federal or state "Superfund" list or subject to any environmentally related liens. 3.31.

NAME. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the best knowledge of the Corporation threatened, against or affecting the Corporation that could result in any impairment of the right of Purchaser to use the name "World of Outlaws, Inc."

(b) In the event that the indemnifying party, by the 30th day after receipt of notice of any such claim (or, if earlier, by the 10th day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the person asserting such claim), does not elect to defend against such claim, the party to be indemnified will (upon further notice to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party and at the indemnifying party's expense, subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claims at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not settle any claim without the consent of the party to be indemnified unless such settlement involves only the payment of money and the claimant provides to the party to be indemnified a release from all liability in respect of such claim. If the settlement of the claim involves more than the payment of money, the indemnifying party shall not settle the claim without the prior consent of the party to be indemnified. 19 (d) The party to be indemnified and the indemnifying party will each cooperate with all reasonable requests of the other. 7.4.

No act, delay, omission or course of dealing on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice any of such party's rights, powers and remedies.
