(a) In full consideration for the transfer of the Shares and the non-competition obligations of Seller set forth in Section 6.1, Buyer shall pay the amounts and/or otherwise provide the consideration set forth in Section 2.2 and Section 2.4, in each case in accordance with the terms thereof. The Parties acknowledge that Buyer has previously paid $75,000 (the “Deposit Amount”) to Seller pursuant to that certain Letter of Intent, dated October 30, 2008, between the Parties.

(b) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to $250,000 (the “Closing Payment”).

Seller may provide notice on or prior to March 5, 2009 that it wishes to defer receipt of, or convert, such payment, in which event the Deferred Closing Amount shall be payable upon demand at any time on or after March 5, 2009 or shall be converted as provided herein. If, prior to March 5, 2009, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer (a “Financing Entity”) consummates an equity financing transaction in which the proceeds of such transaction will be used to provide funding for the Business (a “Business Financing”), the Financing Entity shall provide notice thereof to Seller. On or prior to March 5, 2009, Seller may provide notice to Buyer that it wishes to convert the Deferred Closing Amount pursuant to the terms hereof, and on March 5, 2009, in full satisfaction of the Deferred Closing Amount, Buyer shall issue to Seller such number of equity securities of such Financing Entity equal to the quotient of (i) (A) the amount of the Deferred Closing Amount that Buyer has not previously paid multiplied by (B) 1.5 divided by (ii) the price per equity security of the Financing Entity as valued in such Business Financing. If Seller has provided notice that it wishes to defer receipt of the Deferred Closing Amount, and if a Financing Entity consummates a Business Financing on or after March 5, 2009, then on the date of the consummation of such Business Financing (unless Seller otherwise elects or has elected to demand payment of all of the Deferred Closing Amount in cash or Buyer elects or has elected to pay Seller all of the Deferred Closing Amount in cash), in full satisfaction of the Deferred Closing Amount, Buyer shall issue Seller such number of equity securities of such Financing Entity pursuant to the formula set forth in this Section 2.2(c). The economic terms and conditions applicable to Seller in any issuance of equity securities of a Financing Entity pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) shall be the same as the economic terms and conditions applicable to the other investors in any such Business Financing. Buyer shall provide notice to Seller no less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the consummation of any Business Financing.

Buyer shall, concurrently with its delivery of the Monthly Revenue Statement, pay to Seller an amount equal to the product of 0.06 multiplied by the Monthly Revenue Amount (such resulting amount, the “Preliminary Monthly Deferred Consideration”). If the Preliminary Monthly Deferred Consideration is not paid within such fifteen (15) calendar period, any such unpaid amount shall bear interest at a rate of 1% per month (or, as contemplated by Section 2.4(f), 10% per month) until paid.

(b) Following any determination pursuant to Section 2.4(c) that an adjustment to the Preliminary Monthly Deferred Consideration is necessary, then (1) if the Disputed Amount is a positive number, then Buyer shall pay to Seller, no later than five (5) calendar days following the date on which the Final Monthly Revenue Amount is determined in accordance with Section 2.4(c) (such date, the “Final Monthly Revenue Determination Date”), an amount equal to the difference of (i) the product of (y) the Final Monthly Revenue Amount multiplied by (z) 0.06 minus (ii) the Preliminary Monthly Deferred Consideration (such resulting amount, the “Disputed Amount”), which is payable to Seller by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller, and (2) if the Disputed Amount is a negative number, Seller shall pay such amount to Buyer within five (5) calendar days following the Final Monthly Revenue Determination Date. If the Disputed Amount is not paid within such five (5) calendar day period, any such unpaid amount shall bear interest at a rate of 1% per month (or, as contemplated by Section 2.4(f), 10% per month) until paid.

(c) Within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by Seller of a Monthly Revenue Statement (the “Review Period”), Seller may deliver a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Buyer of any good faith dispute it has with respect to the preparation or content of such Monthly Revenue Statement (it being understood that any such dispute by Seller shall relate solely to Buyer’s calculation of the Monthly Revenue Amount). During such thirty (30) calendar day period, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller any materials reasonably requested by Seller in order to allow Seller to verify Buyer’s calculation of the Monthly Revenue Amount. The Objection Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the items contained in such Monthly Revenue Statement that Seller disputes and the basis for any such disputes. Any items other than those disputed in the Objection Notice or arising out of or related to items disputed in the Objection Notice shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller does not deliver an Objection Notice with respect to a Monthly Revenue Statement within the Review Period (or if, within the Review Period, Seller informs Buyer that it has no objection to the Monthly Revenue Statement), such Monthly Revenue Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud in the preparation or presentation of any such Monthly Revenue Statement. In the event that Seller delivers a timely Objection Notice, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputes. If the Parties, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve all such disputes within fifteen (15) calendar days after Buyer receives an Objection Notice, then at any time thereafter upon the request of either Party, the Parties shall jointly engage an independent, nationally-recognized accounting firm mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “Arbitration Firm”) to resolve such dispute. As promptly as practicable thereafter (and, in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Arbitration Firm’s engagement), Seller shall submit any unresolved elements of its objection to the Arbitration Firm in writing (with a copy to Buyer), supported by any documents and arguments upon which it relies. As promptly as practicable thereafter (and, in any event, within fifteen (15) calendar days after Seller’s submission of such unresolved elements), Buyer shall submit its response to the Arbitration Firm (with a copy to Seller) supported by any documents and arguments upon which it relies. The Arbitration Firm shall render its determination within fifteen (15) calendar days after its receipt of Buyer’s response. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Arbitration Firm shall be limited to the unresolved items on the Objection Notice. The determination of the Arbitration Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Monthly Revenue Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), for a particular Calculation Period shall be referred to herein as the “Final Monthly Revenue Amount” for such Calculation Period. The costs and expenses of the Arbitration Firm’s review shall be borne by Seller unless the Final Monthly Revenue Amount exceeds the Monthly Revenue Amount specified in the Monthly Revenue Statement by 5% or more, in which case such costs and expenses shall be borne by Buyer.

(d) Seller shall be entitled to receive payments pursuant to this Section 2.4 until the aggregate amount of all Final Monthly Deferred Consideration paid to Seller is equal to $5,000,000 (the “Total Deferred Consideration”). At such point, Seller shall no longer be entitled to receive any further payments pursuant to this Section 2.4. In addition, Buyer may, at any time and in its sole discretion, pay to Seller an amount equal to (A) the Total Deferred Consideration minus (B) the aggregate amount of all Final Monthly Deferred Consideration paid to Seller as of the applicable date (such resulting amount, the “Payoff Amount”). Upon Seller’s receipt of the Payoff Amount, it shall no longer be entitled to receive any further payments pursuant to this Section 2.4.

(e) Except as set forth below, upon any (i) transfer, sale or assignment by Buyer of all or substantially all of the Company’s Software, (ii) transfer, sale or assignment by Buyer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (iii) any Change of Control of the Company, Buyer shall pay to Seller the Payoff Amount and any Deferred Closing Amount that Buyer has not previously paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Buyer shall be entitled to (without triggering any obligation to pay the Payoff Amount or any Deferred Closing Amount that Buyer has not previously paid) (A) enter into any of the transactions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii) with any Affiliate (so long as (x) such Affiliate assumes Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and (y) any such transaction with an Affiliate is approved in advance by Seller, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (an “Approved Transaction”)) and (B) license any of the Company’s Software in the ordinary course of business in connection with the operation of the Business by the Company and not with a view to permanently divest such Software so that it will no longer be part of the operation of the Business by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer, sale, assignment or issuance of less than a majority of the equity interests of the Company or any Affiliate shall not trigger an obligation to pay the Payoff Amount or any Deferred Closing Amount that Buyer has not previously paid. Buyer hereby agrees that until such time as the Total Deferred Consideration is paid in full, Buyer shall cause the following legend to be included on each stock certificate representing shares of capital stock of the Company:

"The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and between ISCO International, Inc. and TAA Group Inc., dated December 5, 2008, which contains certain restrictions on transfer of the securities evidenced by this certificate. The holder of this certificate takes the same and holds it subject to the terms and conditions of such Agreement, and any transfer in conflict therewith or in derogation thereof is void and of no legal force or effect or validity whatsoever."

(f) From and after a Material Payment Default, (i) the interest on past-due amounts shall be increased to 10% per month and (ii) Seller shall be entitled to exercise any and all legal remedies available to it in order to collect such past due amounts (plus the amount of interest thereon).

(g) Until such time as Buyer is no longer obligated to make payments to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.4, Buyer shall not, without Seller’s consent, take any action that results in (i) avoiding amounts that would otherwise be payable to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.4, (ii) adversely affecting the monitoring or reporting of amounts payable under this Section 2.4, without a principal business objective other than the decrease of the amounts otherwise payable under this Section 2.4 or the adverse effect on the monitoring or reporting of amounts payable under this Section 2.4, as the case may be. An action will be deemed to have such a principal business objective if the projected financial results of such action are materially favorable to the Company without considering the avoidance of payments under this Section 2.4 or the adverse affect on the monitoring or reporting of amounts payable under this Section 2.4, as the case may be. Until such time as Buyer is no longer obligated to make payments to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.4, Buyer must not (A) operate or allow the Business to be operated in a manner that will, or is reasonably likely to, materially impair the ability of Buyer or its successors or assigns to make the payments provided for hereunder or (B) permit its assets to become subject to any lien, mortgage, security interest or pledge in favor of any Affiliates, officers or directors of Buyer.

(h) Once per calendar year until such time as Buyer is no longer obligated to make payments to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.4, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, make available to Seller, upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, copies of the books and records of Buyer and the Company for the sole purpose of determining the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.4 or otherwise under this Agreement.

(i) Buyer’s payment obligations hereunder shall be absolute, and shall not be subject to set-off, reduction, withholding or deduction of any kind. If (i) Seller is entitled to any payments pursuant to this Section 2.4 and such payments are not paid when due and (ii) Seller successfully brings a legal action against Buyer in order to collect any such past-due amounts, then Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all legal fees incurred by Seller in connection with bringing such action.

ARTICLE 6

CERTAIN COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) As an inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries and any other Person under its control not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) engage in, control, advise, manage, serve as a director or officer of, act as a consultant to, receive any economic benefit from or exert any influence upon, any Person which is at such time engaged, directly or indirectly, in the Business as conducted between the Acquisition Date and the Closing (a “Competing Business”) for a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”);

(c) To the extent that any part of this Section 6.1 may be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, it is the intent of the Parties that such part shall be enforceable to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such part, if more limited in duration, area, scope or otherwise, would have been enforceable.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, other than as expressly set forth in Section 6.4, there is nothing contained in this Section 6.1 or otherwise in this Agreement that is intended to, or that shall be deemed to have the effect of, waiving, releasing, limiting or otherwise modifying in any way any contractual or other rights that Seller or its Affiliates may have against any Person, including Buyer, any Current Employee or any Previous Employee.

Section 6.2 Confidentiality. After the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, use or provide to any other Person any material nonpublic information concerning the business or operations (financial or other) of the Company, except if, based on the advice of counsel, such disclosure is required by applicable Law.

Section 6.3 Tax Matters.

(a) All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the transfer of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Buyer shall file, to the extent required by applicable Tax laws, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. To the extent one Party incurs or pays more than fifty percent (50%) of such Transfer Taxes, the other Party shall reimburse such Party therefore within five (5) days after written demand and presentation of reasonable supporting documentation. To the extent required by Law, each of Buyer and Seller will join, and will cause their Affiliates to join, in the execution of any Tax Returns or other documentation related to such Transfer Taxes.

(b) Any Tax Return to be prepared pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.3(b) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with practices followed in prior years with respect to similar Tax Returns, except for changes required by changes in applicable Tax laws or changes in fact. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between the Parties for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(i) Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Company that are filed on a consolidated, combined, or unitary basis with Seller or any of Seller’s other Affiliates for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date regardless of when they are to be filed. Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid on the Company’s behalf, the Taxes attributable to the Company with respect to such Tax Returns, other than (A) Taxes becoming due as a result of actions taken by Buyer or the Company on the Closing Date and after the Closing, which shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer, and (B) Transfer Taxes, which shall be the responsibility of the Parties as set forth in Section 6.3(a). Following the Closing Date, if the Company or Buyer pays Taxes for which Seller is responsible pursuant to this Section 6.3(b)(i), Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of such Taxes within five (5) days after written demand and presentation of reasonable supporting documentation.

(ii) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Companies (A) for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date, but only if such Tax Returns are not the responsibility of Seller pursuant to Section 6.3(a)(i), and (B) for taxable periods which begin before or on the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Following the Closing Date, if the Company or Buyer pays Taxes attributable to a taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer within five (5) days after written demand and presentation of reasonable supporting documentation, the amount of such Taxes which relate to the portion of such taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, other than (A) Taxes becoming due as a result of actions taken by Buyer or the Company on the Closing Date and after the Closing, which shall be the responsibility of Buyer, and (B) Transfer Taxes, which shall be the responsibility of the Parties as set forth in Section 6.3(a).

(c) Buyer and Seller shall, and shall each cause their respective Affiliates to, provide to the other such cooperation and information, as and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with (A) the filing of any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund permitted under this Agreement, (B) determining liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes or (C) the conduct of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings and other determinations by Taxing authorities, and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, which any such party may possess. Each party will retain all Tax Returns, schedules, work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters, of the Company for the Tax period first ending after the Closing Date and for all prior Tax periods until the later of either (i) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notice is provided with respect thereto, any extensions thereof) for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate or (ii) eight (8) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them; provided, however, that such party shall give to the other party the notice prior to doing so. Each party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided.

(d) In the case of Taxes arising in a taxable period of the Company that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, except as provided in Section 6.3(e), the allocation of such Taxes between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period shall be made on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date. "Post-Closing Period" means any taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date. If a taxable period begins on or prior to the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, then the portion of the taxable period that begins on the day following the Closing Date shall constitute a Post-Closing Period. "Pre-Closing Period" means any taxable period or portion thereof that is not a Post-Closing Period. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 6.3(d), any Tax resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is attributable to the Pre-Closing Period.

(e) In the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes, other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, or franchise Taxes, or Taxes based on capitalization, debt or shares of stock authorized, issued or outstanding, or ad valorem Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, or franchise Taxes, or Taxes based on capitalization, debt or shares of stock authorized, issued or outstanding, or ad valorem Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended as of the end of the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Company.

(f) In the case of any audit, examination, or other proceeding (“Tax Proceeding”) with respect to (i) any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to any other period ending after the Closing Date for which Seller is or may be liable for any Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer shall inform Seller of such Tax Proceeding within ten (10) days after the receipt by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) of written notice thereof. Buyer shall afford Seller, at Seller's expense, the opportunity to (i) control the conduct of any such Tax Proceeding that pertains or relates to a consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return that includes Seller or any of Seller’s other Affiliates, with Buyer having the right, at Buyer’s expense, to attend any such Tax Proceeding, and (ii) participate but not control the conduct of any other such Tax Proceeding.

(g) Any refund of Taxes paid or payable by or with respect to the Company shall be promptly paid as follows (or to the extent payable but not paid due to offset against other Taxes shall be promptly paid by the Party receiving the benefit of the offset as follows): (i) to Seller if attributable to any taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, or for any taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date to the extent allocable (determined in a manner consistent with Section 6.3(d) and Section 6.3(e)) to the portion of such taxable period beginning before and ending on the Closing Date; and (ii) to Buyer if attributable to any taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date or for any taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date to the extent allocable (determined in a manner consistent with Section 6.3(d) and Section 6.3(e)) to the portion of such taxable period ending after the Closing Date.

(h) On the Closing Date, the Company shall not take, and none of Buyer or its Affiliates shall permit or otherwise cause or allow the Company to take, any action not in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, including, without limitation, the merger or liquidation of the Company, the distribution of any property in respect of the Company’s stock, or the acquisition by the Company of any securities or equity interests in any other entity.

(i) Buyer shall file and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) to file such Tax elections as are permitted by Law to irrevocably relinquish and forego, with respect to any net operating loss or similar Tax attribute of the Company arising in a taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date, the carryback of such net operating loss or other Tax attribute to any taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date.

(j) Neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Company) shall file or permit others to file an amended Tax Return with respect to the Company for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date without obtaining the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 6.4 Waiver of Non-Competition Obligations. Seller agrees that, after the Closing, it shall not, directly or indirectly, enforce any contractual provision or other right to prevent any Current Employee or Previous Employee from conducting the Business as an employee of the Company and Seller hereby waives and releases, effective upon the Closing without any further action of any Person, any provision (including any non-solicitation provisions, any non-competition provisions and any non-disclosure provisions) in any Contract or other arrangement between any such Current Employee or Previous Employee, on the one hand, and Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, on the other hand, to the extent necessary to permit such employment or conduct, but without waiving any rights which may have accrued under any such provision prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing is expressly limited to such waivers of contractual or other rights as necessary to allow such Person to engage in the Business of the Company and does not act as a waiver or agreement not to enforce any provision with respect to any other businesses or operations of Seller or any of its Affiliates (with any provisions which may be in place between any Current Employee or Previous Employee, on the one hand, and Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, on the other hand, with respect to any other businesses or operations of Seller or any of its Affiliates continuing in effect in accordance with their terms).

Section 6.5 Rivada Purchase Order. Seller acknowledges that it has received that certain Purchase Order No. 479, dated October 15, 2008 (the “Rivada Purchase Order”), from Rivada Networks, LLC, and further acknowledges that it has not, as of the Closing, accepted the Rivada Purchase Order. Seller agrees that, at and as of the Closing, its right to accept the Rivada Purchase Order shall cease. If requested by Buyer, Seller further agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and the Company after the Closing in order to allow the Company to accept the Rivada Purchase Order.

(b) In the event of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice at the expense of the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may reasonably designate in connection with such claim, demand or Proceeding (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by any Indemnified Party except as set forth below); provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding an Indemnifying Party’s election to appoint counsel to represent an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the forgoing, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party to the extent that: (i) the Indemnifying Party has not notified the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claim Notice whether the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such claim, the Indemnified Party would suffer material prejudice to its rights if it did not obtain separate counsel and the Indemnified Party has in fact retained such separate counsel with respect to the matter; (ii) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any Proceeding that involved criminal charges against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party has not engaged counsel in a manner sufficiently timely to avoid material prejudice to the Indemnified Party’s rights. If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice.

(c) In the event of a Direct Claim, in order to assume the defense of such Direct Claim pursuant to Section 7.5(b), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claim Notice whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such claim.

(d) From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice under this Agreement, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its representatives all reasonable access to the books, records and properties of such Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Claim Notice relates. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under conditions that will not unreasonably interfere with the business and operations of such Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, and shall require that its representatives do not, use (except in connection with such Claim Notice) or disclose to any third Person other than the Indemnifying Party’s representatives (except as may be required by applicable Law) any information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.5(d) which is designated as confidential by an Indemnified Party.

Section 7.6 Characterization of Indemnification Payments. To the extent permitted by Law, any amounts payable under this Article 7 shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the amount paid by Buyer for the Shares hereunder.

Section 7.7 Other Adjustments to Indemnification; Damages. Without prejudice to the indemnification rights of any Indemnified Party set forth this Article 7, if any Damages sustained by an Indemnified Party are covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification or reimbursement obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party), the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such insurance, indemnity or reimbursement payments. If the Indemnified Party receives such insurance or indemnity payments prior to being indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed under this Article 7 with respect to such Damages, the payment by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Damages shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity payments to the extent related to such Damages, less reasonable attorney’s fees and other third party expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. If an Indemnified Party receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity or reimbursement payments after being indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Damages, such Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party (up to a maximum of the total amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Damages and related expenses) the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity payment to the extent related to such Damages, less reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. For purposes of this Section 7.7, an Indemnified Party shall not be deemed to have received an insurance payment if such payment is made under an insurance plan or program that is self funded by such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. If any Indemnified Party receives payment under this Article 7 on account of a claim that the Indemnifying Party believes in good faith is covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party), that Indemnified Party shall (i) on written request of the Indemnifying Party, assign, to the extent assignable, its rights under such insurance policy or indemnification obligation with respect to such claim to the Indemnifying Party (to the extent of such payment) and (ii) be relieved of any further obligation to pursue collection of such insurance or indemnification (except that, if requested to do so by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, to collect any such insurance or indemnification). The amount of any and all Damages payable pursuant to this Article 7 shall be reduced (but not below zero) to take into account any actual net reduction in cash Tax payable by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, to the extent such reduction (A) results directly or indirectly from the incurrence of such Damage, and (B) occurs during or prior to the Tax year in which the indemnification payment is made. To the extent the Taxes payable by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates may be reduced, as a consequence of the incurrence of such Damage, in one or more Tax years following the year in which the indemnification payment is made, the Indemnified Party shall (i) pay to the Indemnifying Party the actual amount of such reduction in Tax within five (5) days of the filing of the Tax Return on which such net reduction in Tax is recognized, and (ii) provide such documentation as the Indemnifying Party may periodically reasonably request to verify the utilization of any deductions or losses that result from the incurrence of such Damage, and to verify the actual amount of such reduction in Tax.
