       12.1       Indemnification Covenants of Oban. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 12, Oban shall defend, indemnify, save and keep harmless the Ikona and its affiliates, directors, officers, agents, attorneys, accountants, or representatives and their respective successors and permitted assigns (the "Ikona Indemnitees"), against and from all liability, demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, fines, penalties, costs, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively, the "Damages") sustained or incurred by any of the Ikona Indemnitees as a result of or arising out of or relating to:

              (a)       Any inaccuracy in a representation or breach of a warranty made by the Oban and in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered to Ikona in connection with this Agreement; or

              (b)       The failure of the Oban to comply with, or the breach by the Oban of, any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered to Ikona in connection with this Agreement, to be performed by the Oban; or

              (c)       Any Oban Liability except to the extent that any such liability is expressly assumed by Ikona pursuant to this Agreement.

       12.2       Indemnification Covenants of Ikona. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 12, Ikona shall defend, indemnify, save and keep harmless the Oban and its affiliates, managers, officers, members, agents, attorneys, accountants or representatives and their respective successors and permitted assigns (the "Oban Indemnitees"), against and from all Damages sustained or incurred by any of the Oban Indemnitees as a result of or arising out of or relating to:

              (a)       Any inaccuracy in a representation or breach of a warranty made by Ikona in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered to the Oban in connection with this Agreement; or

              (b)       The failure of Ikona to comply with, or the breach by Ikona of, any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered to the Oban in connection with this Agreement, to be performed by Ikona; or

              (c)       Any Ikona Liability except to the extent that any such liability is expressly assumed by Ikona pursuant to this Agreement.

       Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall have liability to indemnify the other and neither party may assert a claim for indemnification for damages suffered by it until and unless the party's claims for damages for which the other party is entitled to indemnification equal or exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of $10,000 (the "Damages Threshold"). Upon a party's cumulative claims for indemnification equaling the Damages Threshold, a party may assert claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.4 below for the full amount of such party's damages for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

       12.4       Method of Asserting Claims. For purposes of this Section 12.4, the following terms shall be defined as follows:

              (a)       "Claims" shall mean all claims asserted pursuant to this Section 12, whether or not arising as a result of a Third Party Claim.

              (b)       "Indemnified Person" shall mean any Ikona Indemnitee, any Oban Indemnitee or Oban/Ikona Indemnitees, as the context requires.

              (c)       "Indemnifying Person" shall mean any person obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 12, as the context requires.

              (d)       "Third Party Claims" shall mean any Claim asserted by any person not a party to this Agreement (including without limitation any Governmental Authority), asserting that an Indemnified Person is liable for monetary or other obligations which may constitute or result in Damages for which such Indemnified Person may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 12.

              (e)       All Claims shall be made in writing and shall set forth with reasonable specificity the facts and circumstances of the Claim, as well as the basis upon which indemnification pursuant to this Section 12 is sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no delay or failure by any Indemnified Person to provide notification of any Claim shall preclude any Indemnified Person from recovering for Damages pursuant to this Section 12, except to the extent that such delay or failure materially compromises the rights of any Indemnifying Person under this Section 12.

              (f)       Within ten (10) days after receipt by an Indemnifying Person of any notification of a Claim, the Indemnifying Person may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Person, assume (at the Indemnifying Person's expense) control of the defense of such action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, provided the Indemnifying Person acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Person that any Damages that may be assessed against the Indemnified Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 12. If the Indemnifying Person does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Person shall control such defense, but in so doing shall not waive or limit its right to recover under this Section 12 for any Damages that may be assessed against the Indemnified Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Person assumes control of such defense, and the Indemnified Person has been advised in writing by outside legal counsel that under the applicable standards of professional conduct, the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person may not be represented by the same counsel with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm for the Indemnified Person shall be paid by the Indemnifying Person. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Person shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which (with respect to an action, suit or proceeding as to which the Indemnifying Person has not elected to assume control of the defense) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Person shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the settlement includes a complete release of the Indemnified Person from all liability and does not contain or contemplate any payment by, or injunctive or other equitable relief binding upon, the Indemnified Person.

       13.1       Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. Each of the parties hereto recognizes and acknowledges that it has and will have access to certain nonpublic information of the others which shall be deemed the confidential information of the other party (including, but not limited to, business plans, costs, trade secrets, licenses, research projects, profits, markets, sales, customer lists, strategies, plans for future development, financial information and any other information of a similar nature) that after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will be valuable, special and unique property of the Companies. Information received by the other party or its representatives shall not be deemed Confidential Information and afforded the protections of this Section 13.1 if, on the Closing Date, such information has been (i) developed by the receiving party independently of the disclosing party, (ii) rightfully obtained without restriction by the receiving party from a third party, provided that the third party had full legal authority to possess and disclose such information, (iii) publicly available other than through the fault or negligence of the receiving party, (iv) released without restriction by the disclosing party to anyone, including the United States government, (v) properly and lawfully known to the receiving party at the time of its disclosure, as evidenced by written documentation conclusively established to have been in the possession of the receiving party on the date of such disclosure, or (vi) in the opinion of counsel to the party, required to be disclosed under applicable Federal or state securities laws, or the rules of any national securities exchange, Nasdaq, or any over the counter market upon which the securities of the party are then traded. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall not disclose, and that it shall use its best efforts to prevent disclosure by any other Person of, any such confidential information to any Person for any purpose or reason whatsoever, except to authorized representatives of the Companies who agree to be bound by this confidentiality agreement. Notwithstanding, a party may use and disclose any such confidential information to the extent that a party may become compelled by Legal Requirements to disclose any such information; provided, however, that such party shall use all reasonable efforts and shall have afforded the other party the opportunity to obtain an appropriate protective order or other satisfactory assurance of confidential treatment for any such information compelled to be disclosed. In the event of termination of this Agreement, each party shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to the other parties, and to retain no copies of, any documents, work papers and other materials obtained by such party or on such party's behalf during the conduct of the matters provided for in this Agreement, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof. Each of the parties recognizes and agrees that violation of any of the agreements contained in this Section 13.1 will cause irreparable damage or injury to the parties, the exact amount of which may be impossible to ascertain, and that, for such reason, among others, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, without the necessity of posting bond therefor, restraining any further violation of such agreements. Such rights to any injunction shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights and remedies the parties may have against each other. The provisions of this Section 13.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

        13.2       No Publicity. Until the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither Oban nor Ikona shall, directly or indirectly, issue any press release, or make any public statement, concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of Oban (in the case of such a release or statement by Ikona) or of Ikona (in the case of such a release or statement by Oban). This Section 13.2 shall not, however, preclude any party from making any disclosure required by applicable law, and in the event any party, or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative of a party, believes that any press release, public statement or other disclosure is so required, such party will notify and consult with the other parties with respect thereto as promptly as is practicable under the circumstances.

        Each of the parties will pay all costs and expenses of its performance and compliance with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. In no event will any party to this Agreement be liable to any other party for incidental damages, lost profits, income tax consequences, lost savings or any other consequential damages, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for punitive damages, resulting from the breach of any obligation under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 14 shall survive any termination hereof.

        15.1       Attorney's Fees. In any action at law or in equity or in any arbitration proceeding, for declaratory relief or to enforce any of the provisions or rights or obligations under this Agreement, the unsuccessful party to such proceeding, shall pay the successful party or parties all statutorily recoverable costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the successful party or parties including without limitation costs, expenses, and fees on any appeals and the enforcement of any award, judgment or settlement obtained, such costs, expenses and attorneys' fees shall be included as part of the judgment. The successful party shall be that party who obtained substantially the relief or remedy sought, whether by judgment, compromise, settlement or otherwise.

        15.2       No Brokers Oban represents and warrants to Ikona and Ikona represents and warrants to Oban, that neither it nor any party acting on its behalf has incurred any liability, either express or implied, to any "broker," "finder," financial advisor, employee or similar person in respect of any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Oban agrees to indemnify Ikona against, and hold it harmless from, and Ikona agrees to indemnify Oban against, and hold it harmless from, any liability, cost or expense (including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements of counsel) resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by such party with any third party, including employees of Ikona, for brokerage, finders' or financial advisory fees or other commissions in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section 15.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

        15.3       Survival and Incorporation of Representations. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein or in any certificates or documents executed in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery thereof for a period of three years from the Closing, and all statements contained in any certificate or other document delivered by any party hereunder or in connection herewith shall be deemed to constitute representations and warranties made by that party to this Agreement.

        15.4       Incorporation by Reference. All Exhibits to this Agreement and all documents delivered pursuant to or referred to in this Agreement are herein incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.

        15.5       Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to, or shall, confer any rights or remedies under, or by reason of, this Agreement, on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective and proper successors and assigns and indemnitees. Nothing in this Agreement shall act to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this Agreement.

        15.6       Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended, nor may compliance with any term, covenant, agreement, condition or provision set forth herein be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) unless such amendment or waiver is agreed to in writing by all parties hereto.

        15.7       Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any one of the agreements, terms, conditions, or covenants of this Agreement by the parties shall be deemed to imply or constitute a waiver of any other agreement, term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any agreement, term, condition, or covenant, herein set forth, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of the rights of either or the other thereafter to enforce any other default of such agreement, term, condition, or covenant; neither shall such failure to insist upon strict performance be deemed sufficient grounds to enable either party hereto to forego or subvert or otherwise disregard any other agreement, term, condition, or covenants of this Agreement.

        15.8       Governing Law - Construction. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the respective parties, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that each party hereto is being represented by, or has waived the right to be represented by, independent counsel. Accordingly, the parties expressly agree that no provision of this Agreement shall be construed against any party on the ground that the party or its counsel drafted the provision. Nor may any provision of this Agreement be construed against any party on the grounds that party caused the provision to be present.

        15.9       Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in Sections 6 and 8 of this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and shall remain operative in full force and effect for three years from the date of Closing regardless of any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of either Oban or Ikona and shall not be deemed merged in any document or instrument so executed or delivered by either Oban or Ikona.

        15.10       Notices. Any notice, communication, offer, acceptance, request, consent, reply, or advice (herein severally and collectively, for convenience, called "Notice"), in this Agreement provided or permitted to be given, served, made, or accepted by any party or person to any other party or parties, person or persons, hereunder must be in writing, addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth below, or such other address as to which one party notifies the other in writing pursuant to the terms of this Section 15.10, and must be served by (i) telefax or other similar electronic method, or (i) depositing the same in the United States mail, certified, return receipt requested and postage paid to the party or parties, person or persons to be notified or entitled to receive same, or (iii) delivering the same in person to such party.

        Notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately when sent by telefax and confirmed received or other electronic method and seventy-two hours after being deposited in the United States mail, or when personally delivered in the manner herein above described. Notice provided in any manner not specified above shall be effective only if and when received by the party or parties, person or persons to be, or provided to be notified.

        All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be addressed as set forth below:

Any party receiving a facsimile transmission shall be entitled to rely upon a facsimile transmission to the same extent as if it were an original. Any party may alter the address to which communications or copies are to be sent by giving notice of such change of address in conformity with the provisions of this Section 15.10 for the giving of notice.

        15.11       Fax/Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by telex, telecopy or other facsimile transmission, and such facsimile transmission shall be valid and binding to the same extent as if it were an original. Further, this Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute the same documents. For all evidentiary purposes, any one complete counter set of this Agreement shall be considered an original.

        15.12       Captions. The caption and heading of various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.

        15.13       Severability. Wherever there is any conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any Governmental Requirement or judicial precedent, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the provisions of this Agreement thus affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within the requirement of the law. In the event that any part, section, paragraph or clause of this Agreement shall be held by a court of proper jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the entire Agreement shall not fail on account thereof, but the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless such construction would clearly be contrary to the intention of the parties or would result in unconscionable injustice.

        15.14       Good Faith Cooperation and Additional Documents. The parties shall use their best good faith efforts to fulfill all of the conditions set forth in this Agreement over which it has control or influence. Each party covenants and agrees to cooperate in good faith and to enter into and deliver such other documents and papers as the other party reasonably shall require in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, provided in each instance, any such document is in form and substance approved by the parties and their respective legal counsel.

        15.15       Specific Performance. The obligations of the parties under Sections 2 and 3 are unique. If either party should default in its obligations under said Section, the parties each acknowledge that it would be extremely difficult and impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the non-defaulting party, in addition to any other available rights and remedies, may ▇▇▇ in equity for injunction (mandatory or prohibitive) or specific performance (all without the need to post a bond or undertaking of any nature), and the parties each expressly waive the defense that a remedy at law in damages is adequate.

        15.16       Assignment. Neither party may directly or indirectly assign or delegate, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of its/their/his rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all other parties, which consent may be withheld in their respective sole and absolute discretion. Any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be null and void.

        For purposes of this Section, the term "Agreement" shall include this Agreement and the Exhibits and other documents attached hereto or described in this Section 15.16. This Agreement, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, contain all of the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, letters of intent, representations, warranties, disclosures, negotiations, correspondence, undertakings and communications of the parties, oral or written, respecting that subject matter.

        15.17       Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each of its provisions.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed the Agreement the date and year first above written.
