The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” To the extent such amount is agreed to by the parties, in writing, or determined by a court in a final, non appealable decision, Buyer may, at its option, set off against the Purchase Price or any portion thereof the amount of any indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Threshold such that the number of Post-Closing Shares will be reduced by a number of shares equal to the amount of such Losses in excess of the Threshold divided by the per share price of the Post-Closing Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole number. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Indemnified Party from any notice provisions contained herein.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives written notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action or other legal proceeding 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 Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”). The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations unless, and then solely to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by that notice failure. Such Claim Notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third Party Claim, if any, and any other documents reasonably necessary (as determined by the Indemnified Party) 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 within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Third Party Claim, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel; provided, that such notice contains confirmation that the Indemnifying Party has agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party (subject to the limitation on indemnification set forth herein) for the Losses arising out of or resulting from the Third Party Claim of which it is assuming the right to conduct and control the defense thereof. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(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; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any claim if: (i) such claim is part of an Action to which the Indemnifying Party is also a party and the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that a conflict exists as a result of the Indemnifying Party’s control over such proceedings, (ii) such Third Party Claim seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iii) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any governmental proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation in respect of the business of Buyer or their respective Affiliates, (iv) the Third Party Claim involves liabilities that are reasonably expected to exceed the Indemnity Escrow Amount, (v) the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to reasonably prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim, or (vi) such claim involves any customer, supplier, distributor or other material business relation of Buyer or its Affiliates. If the Indemnifying Party has validly made such election, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, 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. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available Books and Records and other information relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing employees and representatives 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, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.05, (i) the Indemnified Party shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall be given if the settlement by its terms (1) obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, (2) fully and finally releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim, and (3) does not impose any obligation or restriction on such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claims or fails to diligently prosecute or withdraws from the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnified Party admits any liability with respect to, or settles, compromises or discharges, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), then such admission, settlement or compromise will not be binding upon or constitute evidence against the Indemnifying Party for purposes of determining whether the Indemnified Party has incurred Losses that are indemnifiable pursuant to this Article VIII or the amount thereof.

(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from or involve a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by providing prompt written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail 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 asserting or denying its responsibility with respect to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30)-day period, 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 reasonably assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim.

Section 8.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made (or deemed to be made) with respect to any claim pursuant to Article VIII shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.07 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that except for Buyer’s right to any setoff rights in this Agreement, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (except in the case of Fraud) shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. 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 Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 10.11.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION

Section 9.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;

(b) by Buyer by written notice to Seller if there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Seller pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be cured by Seller by the date that is 180 days after the Due Diligence Deadline (the “Drop Dead Date”);

(c) by Seller by written notice to Buyer if there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Section 7.01 or Section 7.03 and such breach, inaccuracy or failure cannot be cured by Buyer by the Drop Dead Date;

(d) by Buyer or Seller in the event that:

(i) there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited;

(ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued a Governmental Order restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable; or

(iii) the Closing does not occur by the Drop Dead Date.

(e) by Buyer or Seller if the Closing has not occurred by the Drop Dead Date; provided, that the party electing to terminate this Agreement in such instance has not materially breached this Agreement and such breach is the primary reason for such failure to consummate the Closing.

Section 9.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Article IX, this Agreement shall immediately become null and void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party hereto other than liability for any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination; provided that the provisions of Section 6.04 (Confidentiality), this Section 9.02 (Effects of Termination) and Article X (Miscellaneous) shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement. Further, if this Agreement is terminated by Seller as a result of Buyer’s breach, Seller will have no obligation to return or repay any payment(s) made by Buyer under Section 2.04(iii).

Section 9.03 Unwind. During the first 18 months immediately subsequent to Closing (the “Unwind Period”), if the Seller terminates this Agreement or Roger Slotkin terminates the Consulting Agreement due to a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or the Consulting Agreement in any material respect, then all the Purchased Assets shall revert back to Seller and Buyer shall execute all documents necessary to effect the unwind of the transactions contemplated hereby and the return of the Purchased Assets to Seller (the “Unwind”). For the purposes of this Section 9.03, any of the following shall be considered to be a material breach by Buyer: (i) failure to fund not less than $100,000 a month for 12 months for the operations related to the Business as requested; and (ii) failure to use all commercially reasonable efforts of Buyer and its staff (other than Roger Slotkin) advance the RCS systems. Buyer agrees that it shall not permit or suffer to exist a lien on the intellectual property of the Business, unless it escrows with a third party prior to the imposition of any such lien pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller $500,000 for the purpose of repaying the indebtedness to which the lien relates while that lien exists on the intellectual property of the Business, and that in the event of an Unwind Buyer will take prompt action to remove any and all liens placed on the Purchased Assets reverting back to Seller, including, as necessary, repaying any indebtedness related thereto to secure such release of liens. In addition, during the Unwind Period, Buyer shall not sell, assign or transfer to any other party the operation, distribution channel or any other significant segments of the Business without prior written approval of the Seller. A duly executed Bill of Sale, in substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (the “Bill of Sale”), shall be placed in escrow prior to the Closing with a third party pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer, to facilitate the implementation of any Unwind pursuant to this Section 9.03
