Defense of Claims.  If any lawsuit enforcement action or any attempt to collect on an alleged liability is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party within ten (10) business days after receipt of  notice or other date by which action must be taken; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates damage caused by such failure.  After such notice, the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action and to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying party's cost, risk and expense; and such indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at its cost, risk and expense, with the indemnifying party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in such investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom.  The indemnifying party shall not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder unless such settlement of a claim, investigation, suit, or other proceeding only involves a remedy for the payment of money by the indemnifying party and includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

Section 6.05

Default of Indemnification Obligation.  If an entity or individual having an indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation, as above provided, shall fail to assume such obligation, then the party or entities or both, as the case may be, to whom such indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation is due shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume

and maintain such defense (including reasonable counsel fees and costs of any suit related thereto) and to make any settlement or pay any judgment or verdict as the individual or entities deem necessary or appropriate in such individuals or entities absolute sole discretion and to charge the cost of any such settlement, payment, expense and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the entity or individual that had the obligation to provide such indemnification, defense and hold harmless obligation and same shall constitute an additional obligation of the entity or of the individual or both, as the case may be.


Section 6.06

Limitations on Indemnification Amounts.  

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no indemnification payment shall be made pursuant to this Agreement to any indemnified party until the amounts which the indemnified party would otherwise be entitled to receive as indemnification under this Agreement aggregate at least $2,500.00, at which time the indemnified party shall be indemnified dollar for dollar for the entire amount of indemnification to which it would be entitled and (ii) no indemnification payment or any claim for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant which may be due under this Agreement from either Skalko, Beshara or Stone shall exceed $90,000 individually and $270,000 in the aggregate.  


Section 6.07

Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The respective representations, warranties and indemnities given by the parties to each other pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period ending twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date (“Survival Date”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no claim for indemnification may be made against the party required to indemnify (the “Indemnitor”) under this Agreement unless the party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall have given the Indemnitor written notice of such claim as provided herein on or before the Survival Date.  Any claim for which notice has been given prior to the expiration of the Survival Date shall not be barred hereunder.

Section 7.07

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the documents to be executed hereunder and the exhibits and schedules attached hereto constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements among the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth herein or in documents delivered pursuant hereto.  No supplement, amendment, alteration, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto.  All of the exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference and constitute a part of this Agreement.


Section 7.08

Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.


Section 7.09

Amendment; Waiver.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, modified or supplemented unless in writing, executed by all the parties hereto.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no waiver with respect to this Agreement shall be enforceable unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure to exercise, delay in exercising, or single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any party, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties, shall constitute a waiver of, or shall preclude any other or further exercise of, any right, power or remedy.  


Section 7.10

Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.


Section 7.11

Assignment; Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.  No party hereto may assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.


Section 7.12

Attorney Review – Construction.  In connection with the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, the parties represent and warrant to each other that they have had the opportunity to be advised by attorneys of their own choice and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments hereto.

Section Headings.  The section and subsection headings in this Agreement are used solely for convenience of reference, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and shall not affect its interpretation.


Section 7.14

Further Assurances.  Each party covenants that at any time, and from time to time, after the Closing Date, it will execute such additional instruments and take such actions as may be reasonably be requested by the other parties to confirm or perfect or otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.


Section 7.15
