in writing within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given
notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will
indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of
any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or
caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party
provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party
will have the financial resources to defend against the Third
Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations, (iii)
the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not
seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of,
or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is
not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely
to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse
to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party,
and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third
Party Claim actively and diligently.
(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of
the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.4(b), (i) the
Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost
and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party
Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably), and (iii)
the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third
Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).
(d) If any of the conditions in Section 7.4(b) is not or is no longer
satisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it
reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need
not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying
Party), (ii) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the
Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of
defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Parties
will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the
Indemnified Party may suffer resulting
23
EXECUTION COPY
from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by
the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this
Section 8.
7.5 ADJUSTMENT TO PURCHASE PRICE. All indemnification payments under this
Section 7 will be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.
7.6 RECOUPMENT AGAINST INNUITY STOCK. Any indemnification to which the
Buyer Parties are entitled under this Agreement as a result of any
Adverse Consequences it may suffer arising out of the breach (or
alleged breach) of any Adverse Consequences it may suffer will be
satisfied by the Seller through the return of Innuity Stock held by
the Seller with a value at the time such Adverse Consequences arose
equal to the amount of such Adverse Consequences. The Buyer's right to
recoup Adverse Consequences in exchange for a return of Innuity Stock
under this Section 7.6 will not otherwise limit any rights of the
Buyer Parties to recover under this Section 7.
7.7 OTHER INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS. The above indemnification provisions
are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable
or common law remedy any Party may have with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller agrees that it
will not make any claim for indemnification against any of the Buyer
Parties by reason of the fact that he, she or it was a director,
officer, employee, shareholder or agent of the Seller or was serving
at the request of the entity as a partner, trustee, director, officer,
employee or agent of another entity (whether the claim is for
judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in
settlement, losses, expenses or otherwise and whether the claim is
pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement or
otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint,
claim or demand brought by any of the Buyer Parties against the Seller
(whether the action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim or demand is
pursuant to this Agreement, applicable Law or otherwise).

8.2 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant

press release following the Closing and will offer the Seller an

EXECUTION COPY
between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements
or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, to the
extent they related in any way to the subject matter of this
Agreement.
9.4 SUCCESSION AND ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement will be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors
and permitted assigns. No Party may assign either this Agreement or
any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement
without the prior written approval of the other Party. The Buyer,
however, may (a) assign any or all of its rights and interests
hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates, and (b) designate one or
more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations under this Agreement
(in any or all of which cases the Buyer nonetheless will remain
responsible for the performance of all of its obligations).
9.5 COUNTERPARTS AND FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. This Agreement may be executed
in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original
but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument,
and by facsimile.
9.6 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Washington without
giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule
(whether of the State of Washington or any other jurisdiction) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the State of Washington.
9.7 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment of any provision of this
Agreement will be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by
the Buyer and the Seller. No waiver by any Party of any default,
misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether
intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or
subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or
covenant under this Agreement or affect in any way any rights arising
by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.
9.8 SEVERABILITY. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid
or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect

of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending

9.9 EXPENSES. The Buyer and the Seller will bear their own costs and
expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection

authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
26
EXECUTION COPY
Nothing in either the Seller's Disclosure Schedule or the Buyer's
Disclosure Schedule will be deemed adequate to disclose an exception
to a representation or warranty made unless such disclosure schedule
identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes
the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the
foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or
other item is not adequate to disclose an exception to a
representation or warranty (unless the representation or warranty has
to do with the existence of the document or other item itself). The
Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant have
independent significance. If any Party has breached any
representation, warranty or covenant in any respect, the fact that
there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to
the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of
specificity) that the Party has not breached does not detract from or
mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first
representation, warranty or covenant.
9.11 INCORPORATION OF EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES. The Exhibits and Schedules
identified in this Agreement are incorporated by reference and are
made a part of this Agreement.
9.12 NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other

request, demand, claim or other communication under this Agreement
will be deemed duly given two business days after it is sent by

prepaid and addressed to the intended recipient as set forth below:

or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically this Agreement in any action instituted in
any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction over
the Parties and the matter (subject to the provisions set forth in
