8.3 Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions.

SECTION 9

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 General Indemnity. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 9, the Company hereby agrees to and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against, and undertakes to pay the Purchaser an amount equal to, all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (collectively, “Damages”), asserted against, imposed upon, suffered or incurred by the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser by reason of, resulting from or arising out of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company under Section 4 of this Agreement or any other breach of this Agreement.

9.2 Conduct of claims. (a) Within thirty (30) days after the party to be indemnified receiving a notice of commencement of any action or the assertion in writing of any claim by a third party which the party to be indemnified receives notice will give rise to a right to be indemnified under this Section 9, the party to be indemnified shall give the Company written notice thereof together with a copy of such claim, process or other legal pleading (provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not affect the obligations of the Company under this Section 9 unless and to the extent that such failure shall be prejudicial to the defense of such claim by the Company), and the Company shall have the right to undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing subject to indemnifying and securing the Purchaser in respect of any Damages resulting from such defense;

(b) in the event that the Company, by the 30th day after receipt of notice of any such claim (or, if earlier, by the 20th 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 Company) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Company;

(c) anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Company shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a claim without the consent of the party to be indemnified, and (ii) no party to be indemnified shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by the Company without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and

(d) in connection with any such indemnification, the indemnified party will cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Company provided that the indemnified party is indemnified and secured against any Damages resulting from so co-operating.

9.3 Other Limitations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) The Company shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) to the Purchaser with respect to breaches of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4

hereof (other than those contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 hereof) until the aggregate monetary value of all such Damages exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification for Damages so incurred from the first dollar, not just Damages in excess of the Basket.

(b) The maximum aggregate amount of indemnification that the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Purchaser under this Section 9 or otherwise shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser.

(c) The monetary value of any Damages indemnifiable by the Company pursuant to this Section 9 shall be reduced to reflect the amount of any insurance proceeds received by the Purchaser or its successors or assigns in respect of such Damages.

(d) Damages indemnifiable by the Company pursuant to this Section shall exclude any profits which the Purchaser could have made by investing in an alternative investment rather than the Shares or other incidental, consequential or punitive damages including any lost future profits of the Company; provided that indemnifiable Damages by the Company shall include diminution in value of the Company and, notwithstanding the foregoing, increases or decreases of future earnings, future revenues, future cash flows and other similar items and metrics may be considered with respect to determining a valuation or calculating a diminution in value.

(e) A claim for Damages resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4 hereof shall lapse unless notice of such claim shall have been delivered to the Company, on or prior to the date occurring ninety (90) days after the date on which the Purchaser receives from the Company a copy of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010; provided, however, that (i) a claim for damages resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 hereof shall survive indefinitely, and (ii) a claim for damages resulting from the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.11 hereof shall survive for three (3) years from the Closing Date.

(f) In no event shall the Purchaser be entitled to double recovery hereunder. In particular, in the event any Damages arise from a breach of more than one representation and warranty of the Company, the Purchaser shall only be entitled to be indemnified once in respect of such Damages.

9.4 Exclusive Remedy. The remedies provided herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedies by a party with respect to any claim arising out of or relating to the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company herein.

SECTION 10

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements relating

to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties hereto are expressly superseded hereby. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the parties hereto.

10.2 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by and construed under the laws of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, except that issues relating to the arbitration clause shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Chapters 1 and 2).

(b) All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall to the extent possible be settled amicably by negotiation between the parties within 30 days from the date of written notice by any party of the existence of such dispute, and failing such amicable settlement, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the AAA in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. There shall be one arbitrator. If thirty (30) days after a claimant’s submission of the notice of arbitration, the parties cannot mutually agree on the selection of an arbitrator, then the AAA shall appoint the arbitrator. Any award(s) entered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and each party hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right it may otherwise have under the laws of any jurisdiction to any form of appeal or collateral attack. Judgment upon any award(s) rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(c) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.2(c).

(d) Except as may be required by law, no party nor its representatives nor a witness nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration.

(e) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the agreements and provisions of this Agreement were not performed fully by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or conditions or

were otherwise breached, and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for breach of this Agreement because of the difficulty of ascertaining and quantifying the amount of damage that will be suffered by the parties hereto in the event that this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms or conditions or is otherwise breached. Accordingly nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any party from seeking provisional measures from any court of competent jurisdiction, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate. Each party hereto specifically waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for any breach. After the arbitrator is appointed, the arbitrator shall have sole jurisdiction to consider applications for provisional measures or other equitable relief, and any relief ordered by the arbitrator may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

10.3 Survival. The representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing until the date occurring ninety (90) days after the date on which a Purchaser receives from the Company a copy of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 hereof shall survive indefinitely, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.11 hereof shall survive for three (3) years from the Closing Date and (iii) the representations and warranties subject to a claim notified in accordance with Section 9.3(e) shall survive until such matter is resolved but only with respect to such claims.

10.4 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

10.5 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (i) upon actual delivery to the party to be notified, or (ii) 24 hours after confirmed facsimile transmission, in each case at the relevant address set out below:
