conditions of this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to purchase from the Seller, and
the Seller agrees to sell, transfer, convey, and deliver to the Buyer, all
right, title, and interest in and to all of the assets of the Seller used

without limitation (a) all of the assets estimated as of March 31, 1999 and
reflected on the balance sheet created on March 16, 1999 for the CIS Business,

accounts receivable and intangibles, and (b) all other assets of the Seller used

of this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to assume and become responsible for all of
the following liabilities of Seller incurred in connection with the CIS Business
(the "Assumed Liabilities"): (a) all liabilities of the Seller set forth on the
Expected Balance Sheet, including its obligations under those contracts listed
on Schedule 2.02 (the "Assumed Contracts"), (b) expenses ("Y2K Expenses"), not
to exceed $25,000, that are necessary to upgrade computer, management
information systems and all other equipment used internally in the CIS Business
(excluding deliverables sold and delivered to the customers of the CIS Business
but including expenses for certification of new IMS products to be delivered to

have any responsibility, however, with respect to any other obligation or
liability of the Seller not included within the definition of Assumed
Liabilities; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it being the
intention of the parties that the Seller shall retain liability for all accruals
as of April 30, 1999 for such items as payroll, taxes, expenses and contract
labor and shall pay at the Closing (as defined below) any commissions payable
(net of commission advances) at the date of the Closing and any obligations
under certain so-called "stay-put" agreements with certain employees of the CIS
Business and (iii) any Adverse Consequences, as hereinafter defined, arising
from pre-closing obligations of the Seller arising under that certain agreement
by and between the Seller and TRW, Inc. in connection with the so-called JIMS
project for the County of San Diego, California dated as of March 31, 1998 (the
?San Diego JIMS Contract?).
2.03 Purchase Price. The Buyer shall deliver to the Seller at the Closing
(i) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in immediately available funds; (ii) a
promissory note in the original principal amount of One Million One Hundred
Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Seventy-Six Dollars ($1,137,576), as may be
adjusted, in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Buyer Note"); and (iii)
166,667 shares of the unregistered, legended common stock of the Parent, which
shares shall be restricted from sale for a period of time ending at the earlier
of: (a) two years from the Closing Date, (b) ninety (90) days following a sale
of common stock by the Parent in a public offering, or (c) in accordance with
the provisions of Article V hereof (the "Parent Stock") (the cash payment, the
Buyer Note and the Parent Stock are referred to herein collectively as the
"Purchase Price").
2.04 Adjustment to the Purchase Price. (a) Seller shall prepare a balance
sheet of the CIS Business as of April 30, 1999 (the "Closing Balance Sheet").
Buyer shall cause an audit of the Closing Balance Sheet to be performed by
independent public accountants of its selection. The Purchase Price shall be
adjusted (i) upward if and to the extent that the value of the assets, other
than accounts receivable, uninvoiced accounts receivable, and any unbilled
portion of the so-called Ventura County source code sale (collectively,
"Receivables") on the Closing Balance Sheet (the "Closing Asset Value"),
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),
exceeds the value of the assets, other than Receivables, on the Expected Balance
Sheet (the "Expected Asset Value"), by more than twenty percent (20%) of the
Expected Asset Value, or (ii) downward if and to the extent that the Closing
Asset Value is more than twenty percent (20%) less than the Expected Asset
Value. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted further (iii) upward if and to the
extent that the amount of the Receivables listed on the Closing Balance Sheet,
including without limitation any uninvoiced and uncollected portion of the
expected revenues from the Ventura County source code sale (the "Closing
Receivables"), exceeds the $4,255,640 value of the Receivables on the Expected
Balance Sheet (the "Expected Receivables") and (iv) downward if and to the
extent that the amount of the Closing Receivables is less than the Expected
Receivables. It is the intention of the parties that, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, no costs for (x) software or software development
(including without limitation costs associated with so-called book numbering and
Shelby County software capitalization) or (y) that certain automated software-
testing tool (estimated to be $150,000) be included in either the Expected
Balance Sheet or the Closing Balance Sheet, and to the extent that any such
items are inadvertently contained therein, they will result in no adjustment to
the purchase price herein. The net result of the adjustments to the Purchase
Price contemplated in this Section 2.04 shall be referred to as the "Purchase
Price Adjustment").
(b) Seller hereby guarantees the payment of all Receivables within 120 days
of such Receivables having been duly invoiced (the "Seller Guarantee"), provided
that the uninvoiced accounts receivable included herein shall be calculated and
accrued in the same manner as in the Expected Receivables, and provided further
that any such uninvoiced accounts receivable shall be included in the Seller
Guarantee only to the extent that (i) the Buyer shall have used commercially
reasonable efforts (A) to complete, in due course in accordance with the
appropriate contractual provisions, the project to which the particular
receivable relates, and (B) to collect such receivable, and (ii) the Buyer shall
have made available to Seller, at Seller's expense, Buyer's books and records
with respect to the uncollected receivables at issue. Any receivable not
collected within 120 days of invoicing, including without limitation any such
receivables invoiced 120 days or more prior to April 30, 1999, may, at the sole
discretion of the Buyer, be returned to the Seller for collection, and the
amount of such returned receivable shall at that time be deducted from the
original amount of the Buyer Note (as contemplated in subsection (c) below).
Upon any such receivable having been returned to the Seller, Seller may attempt
to collect such receivable for its own account, provided however, Seller shall
allow Buyer, at Buyer?s option, to participate in all such collection efforts,
including without limitation, contacts with the account debtor, giving due
regard to such account debtor?s status as a customer of the Buyer?s CIS
Business.
(c) The principal amount of the Buyer Note shall be (i) increased or
decreased, as the case may be, to reflect the amount of any Purchase Price
Adjustment, and (ii) decreased to the extent to which any Receivable subject to
the Seller Guarantee is not paid within 120 days of invoicing and is returned by
Buyer to Seller as contemplated in subsection (b) above.
2.05 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ &
▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP in Hartford, Connecticut, commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time May 27,
1999 (the "Closing Date"); provided however, for the purpose of producing the
Closing Balance Sheet to determine any adjustments to the Purchase Price as
contemplated in Section 2.04, the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at
the close of business on April 30, 1999, and all revenues booked or received and
expenses (other than those contemplated in Section 6.02) incurred in the
ordinary course of business by the CIS Business after April 30, 1999 will be

submit to the Buyer within 10 business days after the Closing, an accounting for
all such revenues booked and received and documentation reasonably satisfactory
to the Buyer of the expenses incurred by the Seller as contemplated in the
previous sentence. Upon receipt of such documentation, Seller shall within 48
hours promptly pay to Buyer all such revenues and the amount of accrued vacation
pay and the employee portion of related taxes as of April 30, 1999, as set forth
on Schedule 2.06(vii), and Buyer shall within 48 hours promptly reimburse Seller

Article V. Registration Rights
5.01 Registration of Parent Stock. If at any time after the Closing the
Buyer proposes to register any of its common stock under the Securities Act of
1933 in connection with the public offering of such securities for its own
accounts or for the accounts of other shareholders, solely for cash, other than
in connection with a registration relating solely to an employee benefit plan or
plans or a registration relating to a Rule 145 transaction, on a form that would
also permit the registration of the Parent Stock, the Buyer shall, each such
time, promptly give Seller written notice of such determination. Upon the
written request of Seller received by Buyer within thirty days after mailing of
such notice by the Buyer, the Buyer shall use its best efforts (i) to cause to
be included in such registration all of the Parent Stock that the Seller has
requested be registered under the 1933 Act, and (ii) to cause to be registered
and qualified under such other securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be
reasonably appropriate for the distribution of such Parent Stock (?Blue Sky
Laws?), provided that the Buyer shall not under any circumstances be required to
qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any
such states or jurisdictions.
5.02. Expenses. All reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
registrations pursuant to this Article V including, without limitation,
registration and qualification fees, printers? and accounting fees, and fees and
disbursements of counsel, shall be borne by the Seller to the extent such
expenses result from the inclusion of any of the Parent Stock in any
registration of the common stock of the Buyer.
5.03. Obligations of the Seller. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Buyer under this Article V to take any action pursuant to
this Article V that the Seller shall furnish to the Buyer such information
regarding Seller, the Parent Stock, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as the Buyer shall reasonably request in order to effect the
registration of such Parent Stock in compliance with the Act and the Blue Sky
Laws.
5.04. Underwritten Offerings. In connection with any offering involving an
underwriting of shares being issued by the Buyer, the Buyer shall not be
required under this Article V to include any of the Parent Stock in such
underwriting unless Seller accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon
between the Buyer and the underwriters selected by it, and then only in such
quantity as will not, in the reasonable opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize
the success of the offering by the Buyer. If the total amount of Parent Stock
that Seller requests to be included in an underwritten offering exceeds the
amount of securities that the underwriters reasonably believe compatible with
the success of the offering, the Buyer shall be required to include in the
offering only so many of the shares of Parent Stock as the underwriters
reasonably believe will not jeopardize the success of the offering, provided
that no such reduction shall be required to be made with respect to any
securities offered (i) by the Buyer for its own account, (ii) by any Affiliates
of the Buyer (including its management and directors), (iii) by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Mezzanine Capital Fund II, L.P., or (iv) by Corcap, Inc. Seller may not
participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless Seller completes
and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and
other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements.
5.05. Indemnification. In the event any Parent Stock is included in a
registration statement pursuant to this Article V, to the extent permitted by
law, Seller will indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, each of its directors,
each of its officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each person, if
any, who controls the Buyer within the meaning of the Act, and any underwriter
for the Buyer or the Selling Holders (within the meaning of the Act or Section
20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which the Buyer or any such director, officer,
controlling person or underwriter may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in such Registration Statement,
including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or
any amendments or supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such
registration statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or
amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished or omitted to be furnished by Seller expressly for
use in connection with such registration; and will reimburse the Buyer or any
such director, officer, controlling person or underwriter for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.
5.06. Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights granted
under this Article V may not be transferred or assigned by Seller under any
circumstances, except that such registration rights may be transferred to any
transferee who acquires (otherwise than in a registered public offering) one
hundred percent (100%) of the Parent Stock; provided that such transfer may
otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; and
provided further that the Buyer is given written notice by the Seller at the
time of such transfer stating the name and address of the transferee; and
provided further that such assignment of registration rights shall be effective
only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such
securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act.
5.07 Holdback Agreement. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable
law, the Seller agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of the
Parent Stock, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144, during the 14 days prior
to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of such
registration statement (except as part of such registration), if and to the
extent requested by the Buyer in the case of a non-underwritten public offering
or if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in
the case of an underwritten public offering.

6.01 Press Releases and Public Announcements. Upon the execution of this
Agreement, the parties will make a press release in a mutually agreed form
announcing the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

at no cost to Buyer, on an interim basis for up to three months after the
Closing Date, (a) space for Buyer to conduct the operations of the CIS Business
in the location such operations are currently performed, and (b) those corporate
services currently provided to the CIS Business by Seller and set forth on
Schedule 6.02, provided, however, that Seller agrees to provide the corporate
services contemplated in subsection (b) above for an additional six months, but
in such case the Buyer shall be responsible for any third party vendors' charges
for such services during such additional six month period. In lieu of the
Seller providing to Buyer during the above three-month period insurance coverage
for such things as workers compensation, liability, property and other
casualties for the benefit of the CIS Business, Seller shall reimburse the Buyer
for obtaining such coverage at the rate of $3,000 per month. Buyer shall be
responsible for the cost of third party moving services, including third party
costs associated with setting up appropriate local area networking of personal
computers and other such office setup expenses normally incurred in an office
move, provided however, that Seller personnel will assist in the transition from
the Seller?s network to a new network to be provided by Buyer. In connection
with subsection (a) above, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller is currently
seeking to obtain new space for the CIS Business to be conducted at a location
separate from the current location where Seller conducts other of its business
operations, and the Buyer and Seller agree that if the CIS Business is relocated
to new space prior to the expiration of the three-month period contemplated
above, Seller will reimburse Buyer for the cost of such new space for the
balance of the three-month period after such relocation only to the extent of
the pro-rata cost of the space currently occupied by the CIS Business at
Seller's current premises. In connection with and in order to effect an
efficient transfer of the employees of the CIS Business from the Seller to the
Buyer, on the Closing Date and through the earlier of (a) the Buyer?s completion
of the necessary documentation to hire them or (b) June 15, 1999, the Seller
shall retain the employees of the CIS Business as employees of the Seller and
shall continue to maintain the existing employee benefits for such employees.
Upon presentation by Seller to the Buyer of documentation demonstrating the
expenses incurred and paid by the Seller in connection with the said employees,
Buyer shall, within 24 hours of such presentation, reimburse Seller for such
expenses.
6.03 Transition Assistance. For a period of 6 months following the
Closing, Seller shall work with Buyer to execute a plan to introduce Buyer as
the new owner of the CIS Business and to present Buyer's security services and
products to Seller's current customer base through such things as joint
mailings, phone calls, and selected personal visits, provided that expenses of
Seller's personnel incurred outside of Seller's offices in connection with such
things as accompanying Buyer's representatives on a joint call on a prospective
or existing CIS Business customer (for example, out of pocket expenses in such
cases) shall be paid by Buyer. For a period of 12 months following the Closing,
Seller shall allow Buyer, at Buyer's expense, to continue to present the CIS
Business, solely through the presence of a Buyer representative without any
designated space or display area (other than a 12" by 15" placard), as part of
and in conjunction with Seller's presentation of its remaining businesses at
trade shows and the like. After the Closing, Seller shall use all reasonable
efforts to refer to Buyer all inquiries concerning the CIS Business.
6.04 Non-Solicitation. Neither Buyer nor Seller (or any Affiliate of
either) shall directly solicit and hire any employee of the other until March
31, 2001, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.04 shall prevent
either Buyer or Seller from hiring any employee of the other if the Buyer or
Seller (as the case may be) did not solicit such employee.
6.05 Non-Competition. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing
Date, neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller shall directly or indirectly
own, manage, operate, control, act as a consultant or advisor to, render any
services for, have any financial interest (other than as a creditor) in, or
otherwise be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation,
or control of any Person, firm, partnership, corporation, or other entity that
is engaged in any business that directly competes with the CIS Business (a
"Competitor"); provided that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing
contained in this Section 6.05 shall prevent Seller or any Affiliate from
acquiring or holding equity securities of any publicly traded company if the
amount of such securities represents less than 1% of the outstanding capital
stock of such company, and provided further that nothing contained in this
Section 6.05 shall prevent either of ▇▇▇▇▇ J, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, each
of whom is currently a director of Seller, from becoming a member of the board
of directors of, or a consultant to, a Competitor. All of the foregoing
provisions are reasonable and are necessary to protect and preserve the value of
the Acquired Assets and to prevent any unfair advantage being conferred on
Seller or its Affiliates.
6.06 Performance under Assumed Contracts With Customers. Buyer covenants
that it will use all commercially reasonable efforts to perform in good faith
its obligations under the Assumed Contracts with customers:
6.07 Parent Guaranty. Parent hereby guarantees to Seller the timely
performance of all of Buyer's obligations hereunder.
6.08 Delivery of Consents. To the extent that the Seller was unable to
obtain the required written consent from a contracting party to the assignment
of any Assumed Contract with a customer by the date of the Closing as
contemplated herein, Seller will obtain all such written consents and deliver
them to the Buyer not later than 60 days from the date of the Closing, which
consents shall be obtained without material changes to the terms or conditions
of, expected revenues from, or expected costs to perform, the respective Assumed
Contracts.
6.09 Subcontract of the San Diego JIMS Contract. Seller will, not later
than June 4, 1999, execute in favor of the Buyer, a subcontract pursuant to
which the Buyer will be entitled to all rights and will perform all obligations
of the Seller (other than any obligations with respect to Adverse Consequences
arising from performance or lack of performance prior to the Closing) pursuant
to the San Diego JIMS Contract, as amended. Seller retains a limited license to
use and modify the software (including source code) transferred under Section
2.01 which is used in connection with the San Diego JIMS Contract, for the sole
purpose of satisfying its responsibilities under said contract. It is
anticipated that such retained rights will only be used in the event it is
Seller?s good faith belief that there are responsibilities or obligations of
Seller under the San Diego JIMS Contract which are not being satisfactorily
handled by Buyer in accordance with the subcontract agreement to be entered into
between Buyer and Seller relating to the performance of Seller?s obligations
under the San Diego JIMS Contract.
6.10 Software Testing Tool. Seller will, after the Closing Date, promptly
reimburse the Buyer, at Seller?s sole cost and expense for the costs and
expenses as incurred by the Buyer for the completion of the development of a so-
called automated software testing tool, in accordance with existing purchase
orders, that is currently in the process of construction for the CIS Business.
Article VII. Indemnification
7.01 Agreement by Seller to Indemnify. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Buyer from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses and
liability (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
(?Adverse Consequences?) which Buyer incurs or suffers arising out of (i) CIS
Business products and services sold and delivered by the Seller prior to the
Closing except for Adverse Consequences (including any liquidated damages
obligations) arising from Seller's pre-closing obligations under the Assumed
Contracts with customers; (ii) all pre-closing obligations under the San Diego
JIMS Contract, which contract is not an Assumed Contract; (iii) any breach by
Seller of any covenant or other agreement of Seller contained herein; (iv) any
breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller herein or in any
certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (v) the failure of Seller
to pay, discharge or perform any liability or obligation of the Seller or of the
CIS Business which is not an Assumed Liability.
7.02 Agreement by Buyer to Indemnify. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Seller from and against any and all Adverse Consequences which Seller
incurs or suffers arising out of (i) any claims arising from performance under
the Assumed Contracts with customers (including any liquidated damages
obligations) whether attributable to performance before or after Closing,
provided however that nothing herein shall be construed to impose any liability
whatever upon the Buyer or Parent with respect to Adverse Consequences arising
from pre-closing obligations of the Seller under the San Diego JIMS Contract;
(ii) CIS Business products and services sold and delivered by the Buyer after
the Closing; (iii) any breach by Buyer of any covenant or other agreement of
Buyer contained herein, (iv) any breach of any representation or warranty made
by Buyer herein or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (v)
the failure of Buyer to pay, discharge or perform any of the Assumed
Liabilities; or (vi) any claims arising out of or related to the conduct of the
CIS Business after the Closing Date.
7.03 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The respective
representations and warranties, obligations, covenants and agreements of the
parties contained herein or in any schedule or certificate delivered pursuant
hereto shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a
period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, and thereafter all such
representations and warranties shall be extinguished except to the extent a
party gives notice to the other party of any breach thereof on or before the
second anniversary of the Closing Date.
7.04 Limitations on Amount. Neither party (the ?Indemnifying Party?) shall
have any liability to the other party (the ?Indemnified Party?) under this
Article VII with respect to any Adverse Consequences (a) until the total of all
Adverse Consequences suffered by such party with respect to such matters exceeds
$50,000, and (b) to the extent such Adverse Consequences exceed the Purchase
Price. However, this Section 7.04 will not apply to (i) matters arising in
connection with the Seller?s obligations under the Seller Guarantee; (ii)
matters arising under Article V hereof, (iii) any Y2K Expense assumed by the
Buyer, (iv) any breach of any of the Indemnifying Party?s representations and
warranties of which the Indemnifying Party had knowledge on the Closing Date;
(v) any intentional breach by the Indemnifying Party of any covenant or
obligation contained in this Agreement; or (vi) liability of the Buyer for
obligations (including liquidated damages) under the Assumed Contracts with
customers.
7.05 Adjustments. In determining the amount of any Adverse Consequences for
purposes of this Article VII, the parties shall make appropriate reductions for
insurance proceeds and tax benefits. The parties shall obtain waivers of
subrogation unless an increase in premium would result.
7.06 Right of Setoff. Buyer may set-off any amount to which it has been
adjudicated (or to which Seller has agreed) that Buyer is entitled to under this
Article VII against amounts otherwise payable under the Buyer Note by giving
notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the basis for and the amount of
such set-off. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such a right
of set-off will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner
in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.
7.07 Procedure for Indemnification ? Third Party Claims. (a) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any
proceeding against it, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to be made
against an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII, give notice to the
Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such proceeding. The failure to
notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any
liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that
the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is (or was)
prejudiced by the Indemnifying Party's failure to give such notice.
(b) If any proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party and it gives
notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such proceeding, the
Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to
the extent that it wishes (unless the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such
proceeding and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint
representation would be inappropriate), to assume the defense of such proceeding
with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the
Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the
defense of such proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it
diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party for any
fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such
proceeding subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense of such proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a proceeding, (i) no compromise or
settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the
Indemnified Party's consent, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will have no
liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected
without its consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the
commencement of any proceeding and the Indemnifying Party does not, within ten
days after the Indemnified Party's notice is given, give notice to the
Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the
Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or
any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Party.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party determines in
good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a proceeding may
adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages
for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the
Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive
right to defend, compromise, or settle such proceeding, but the Indemnifying
Party will not be bound by any determination of a proceeding so defended for the
purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) With respect to any proceeding subject to indemnification under this
Article VII: (i) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case
may be, shall keep the other party fully informed of the proceeding at all
stages thereof where such party is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii)
the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such
assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good
faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any
proceeding brought by any third party.
(e) With respect to any proceeding subject to indemnification under this
Article VII, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner and use their best
efforts so as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality
of all confidential business records and the attorney-client and work-product
privileges.
7.08 Procedure for Indemnification ? Performance Bonds A claim for
indemnification for any Adverse Consequences suffered by the Seller with respect
to any performance bonds to which Seller is a party and which relate to the CIS
Business (all of which are listed on Schedule 7.08) ("Bonds") must be made by
notifying Buyer in writing that the customer protected under the Bond has made a
claim under the Bond, (which notice shall be made within five (5) business days
of learning of the existence of such a claim. Buyer will notify the Seller
within five (5) business days after it is notified by any customer protected
under a Bond that such customer intends to make a claim under the Bond. To the
extent that the issuer of the bond solicits (or is required to solicit) the
input and cooperation of the Seller in connection with processing any such
claim, the Seller agrees to permit in a timely manner the Buyer to exercise any
and all such rights the Seller may have in connection with the processing of
such claim.
7.09 Procedure for Indemnification -- Other Claims. A claim for
indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted
by notice in writing to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
