investigating any such claims or liabilities, whether or not resulting in
any liability to the Party or controlling person(s) which the Party or

any document prepared pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that
this indemnity agreement shall not apply to statements or omissions made in
reliance upon information furnished by either Party, in writing, expressly
in use for any document prepared pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing
indemnity shall not be deemed to protect Party or controlling person(s) to
which either Party would otherwise be subject by reason of wilful
misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of their
duties, or by reason of their reckless disregard of their obligations and
duties under this Agreement; and such indemnity shall further not apply to
any violations, statements or omissions made in reliance upon written
information furnished to either Party expressly for use in any documents
prepared pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party and their controlling
person(s) agree to give the other Party and their controlling person(s) an

under the foregoing indemnity, but failure to notify the other Party shall
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the other Party or
controlling person(s) other than on account of this indemnity provision.
Neither Party shall be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such
claim if such settlement was effected without it's prior notification. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not in any way prejudice any right or
rights which either Party may have against the other Party under any
Federal or State securities law, at common law or otherwise.

the Sales Agent will each advise the other party immediately and confirm in

procedures which would impair or prevent the right to offer the Shares or
the issuance of any orders or other prohibitions, preventing or impairing
the proposed offering, by the SEC or any other regulatory authority. In the
case of the happening of any such event, neither the Company nor the Sales
Agent will acquiesce in such steps, procedures or suspension orders and
each party agrees to actively defend any such actions or orders unless both
parties agree in writing to the acquiescence in such actions or orders.
13. CANCELLATION. If for any reason the Company or the Sales Agent
decides in their sole discretion not to proceed with the Offering, such
