Section 7.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a director, officer or employee of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party

reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 7.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.05) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

Section 7.06 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate then in effect plus five percent (5%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

Section 7.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Buyer and Seller agree to treat any amounts payable after the Closing by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless a final determination by the appropriate Taxing Authority or court causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

Section 7.08 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 9.12, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.08 shall limit any Person’s right (i) to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled, (ii) to assert and obtain any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in accordance with the terms of the Company’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or other operational agreements or (iii) to seek any remedy on account of any Person’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Attention: ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Re:

Letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) regarding escrow arrangement among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Partners, L.P. (“Seller”), CIP Acquisition Incorporated (“Buyer”) and Title Associates, a Division of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Title Insurance Company (the “Escrow Agent”)

Dear ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇:

This Letter Agreement sets forth our mutual understanding regarding the escrow services to be provided by the Escrow Agent to Seller and Buyer in connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2012 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), by and between Seller and Buyer. All defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Share Purchase Agreement, a copy of which has been delivered to the Escrow Agent.

1. Deposit of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. On or prior to the Effective Date, Buyer shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000) in good funds (such sum, together with any interest earned thereon, is referred to as the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money”). In accordance with the terms hereof, the Escrow Agent shall accept the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money and shall hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in trust on the terms set forth in this Letter Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall deposit the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in an interest-bearing deposit commercial bank account mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer, shall not commingle the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly advise Seller and Buyer that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money has been deposited, the bank name and account number.

2. Release and Delivery of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. Subject to Paragraph 3 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to Seller or to Buyer, as the case may be, under the following conditions:

(a) to Seller if the transaction contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement is consummated in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing;

(b) to Seller if the transaction contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement is not consummated on or prior to the End Date and either Buyer has failed to (i) terminate this Agreement on or prior to the End Date, (ii) timely apply for the Financing, (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Financing, or (iv) secure the Financing if the Financing is available on the terms set forth in Section 2.06 of the Share Purchase Agreement and all conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 of the Share Purchase Agreement have been met; or

3. Release and Delivery Procedures. The following procedures shall apply with respect to any demand for, and delivery of, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money as of the End Date:

(a) Within five (5) Business Days of the End Date, Seller or Buyer, as the case may be (the “Demanding Party”), shall deliver to the Escrow Agent written notice of its demand for the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money (a “Demand Notice”) pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof, which Demand Notice shall include the facts and circumstances underlying such Party’s claim to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money pursuant to Paragraph 2 hereof. The Escrow Agent shall, within two (2) Business Days of the receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Demand Notice, send a copy of the Demand Notice to the other Party (the “Non-Demanding Party”) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or overnight courier service with a signature required for delivery and as otherwise provided in this Letter Agreement.

(b) The Non-Demanding Party shall have the right to object to the delivery of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money by sending written notice of such objection (the “Notice of Objection”) to the Escrow Agent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or overnight courier service with a signature for delivery and otherwise as provided in this Letter Agreement, which Notice of Objection shall be deemed null and void and ineffective if such Notice of Objection is not received by the Escrow Agent within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of the copy of the Demand Notice to the Non-Demanding Party. The Notice of Objection shall set forth the basis for objecting to the delivery of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. Upon receipt of a Notice of Objection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly send a copy thereof to the Demanding Party.

(c) In the event the Escrow Agent shall have received the Notice of Objection within the five (5)- Business Day period, the Escrow Agent

shall continue to hold the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money until (i) the Escrow Agent receives written notice from Seller and Buyer directing the disbursements of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, in which case the Escrow Agent shall then disburse the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in accordance with such joint direction, or (ii) in the event of litigation between Seller and Buyer, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money to the clerk of the court in which said litigation is pending, or (iii) the Escrow Agent takes such affirmative steps as the Escrow Agent may, at the Escrow Agent’s option, elect in order to terminate the Escrow Agent’s duties including, but not limited to, depositing the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in the district court for New York County, New York, and bringing an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne by whichever of Seller or Buyer is the losing party.

4. Limitation of Liability of the Escrow Agent. The duties of the Escrow Agent are only as provided in this Letter Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatever except for actual fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence as long as the Escrow Agent has acted in good faith. Upon making delivery of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money in the manner herein provided, the Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder. Seller and Buyer, jointly and severally, agree to and do hereby indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from all suits, actions, loss, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which may be incurred by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent pursuant to this Letter Agreement; provided that such indemnity shall not apply in the event of actual fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Escrow Agent.

5. Miscellaneous. This Letter Agreement, and any statements, conduct, claims, causes of action, liabilities or other matters relating to or arising out of or in connection with this Letter Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to choice of law or conflict of law principles. This Letter Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Fax copies of signatures shall be treated as originals for all purposes. This Letter Agreement contains the entire agreement by and among the Escrow Agent, on the one hand, and Seller and Buyer, on the other hand, to date with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters. This Letter Agreement may not be amended except by a written instrument signed by all parties. This Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of all parties. Notices to be sent to the Escrow Agent shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given on the date sent by e-mail if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient, and shall be sent to the following persons: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, with a copy to ▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. All notices to be sent to Buyer and Seller shall be delivered in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Share Purchase Agreement.
