-------------
receipt of notice from the Claimant of a claim, the Indemnitor shall have thirty
(30) business days to make any investigation of the claim that the Indemnitor
deems necessary or desirable. For the purposes of this investigation, the
Claimant agrees to make available to the Indemnitor and/or its authorized
representatives the information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate the
claim. If the Claimant and the Indemnitor cannot agree as to the validity and
amount of the claim within said 30-day period (or any mutually agreed upon
extension thereof), the Claimant may seek appropriate legal remedy.
(c) Control. With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the
-------
Claimant is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitor shall have the
right at its own expense to participate in or assume control of the defense of
the Claim, and the Claimant shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor, subject

the result of a request by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor elects to assume
control of the defense of any third-party claim, the Claimant shall have the
right to participate in the defense of the claim at its own expense. If the

defense of any third party claim, it shall be bound by the results obtained by
the Claimant with respect to the claim.
(d) Immediate Action. If a claim, whether between the parties or by a third
----------------
party, requires immediate action, the parties will make every effort to reach a
decision with respect thereto as expeditiously as possible.

--------------------------------
(i) Any indemnity payment hereunder shall be limited to the extent of the
actual loss or damage suffered by the Claimant and shall be reduced by the
amount of any recovery by the Claimant from any third party, including any
insurer, and by the amount of any tax benefits received.
(ii) No party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder unless and
until the amount for which indemnification is owing exceeds Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000) (the "Minimum Loss") in the aggregate for all such matters;
provided, however, that if such amount exceeds the Minimum Loss, the Indemnitor
shall be liable to the Claimant for an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of
the Minimum Loss and one hundred percent (100%) of any excess over the Minimum
Loss, and provided further, that the aggregate amount for which a party shall be
----------------
entitled to indemnification hereunder for a breach by the other party of its
representations, warranties and covenants shall not exceed Twenty Million
Dollars ($20,000,000). No party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder

If any action is brought by either Salem or Cox to enforce this Agreement, Cox
or Salem, as the case may be, shall waive the defense that there is an adequate
remedy at law. Either party shall have the right to obtain specific performance

notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the default and shall have
afforded the defaulting party thirty (30) days (the "Cure Period") to cure the
default or to undertake to cure the default in a commercially reasonable manner
during the Cure Period (if it cannot be reasonably cured during the Cure Period)
and such party pursues said cure with reasonable diligence after the Cure
Period.
12.7 RIGHTS UNDER STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT. Nothing in this SECTION 12

shall be deemed to limit or restrict the exercise by Salem of any rights to
indemnification it may enjoy under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, as
contemplated by SECTIONS 4.1(E) and 8.2 hereof, in accordance with and subject
to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.
