to the following conditions:
(1) The party entitled to be indemnified hereunder (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give the party obligated to provide the indemnity
(the "Indemnifying Party") prompt notice of any Third Party Claim (the "Claim
Notice"). If the Indemnifying Party promptly acknowledges in writing its
obligation to indemnify in accordance with the terms and subject to the
limitations of such party's obligation to indemnify contained in this Agreement
with respect to that claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have a reasonable time
to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim at its expense and with counsel
of its choosing, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party. Any Claim Notice shall identify, to the extent known to the
Indemnified Party, the basis for the Third Party Claim, the facts giving rise to
the Third Party Claim, and the estimated amount of the Third Party Claim (which
estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim or demand).
The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of
all relevant documents and records in its possession.
(2) If the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after
receipt of such Claim Notice, fails to assume the defense of any Third Party
Claim in accordance with Section 6.01(b)(1), the Indemnified Party shall (upon
further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the
defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim, at the expense and
for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party.
(3) Anything in this Section 6.01 to the contrary
notwithstanding, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not without the written
consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or
consent to the entry of judgment which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of
an unconditional release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim;
(ii) if such Third Party Claim involves an issue or matter which the Indemnified
Party believes will have a materially adverse effect on the Indemnified Party's
business, operations, assets, properties or prospects of its business, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of
any such claim or demand, at the expense of the Indemnified Party without
contribution from the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ its own counsel to defend any claim at the expense of
the Indemnify Party if (x) the employment of such counsel by the Indemnified
Party has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party, or (y) counsel selected by
the Indemnifying Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a
conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in
the conduct of the defense of such action or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall
not have employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim in accordance with
Section 6.01(b).

(4) Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent any Indemnified
Party from making a claim hereunder for potential or contingent claims or
demands, provided that (i) the Claim Notice sets forth (A) the specific basis
for any such potential or contingent claim or demand and (B) the estimated
amount thereof (to the extent then feasible) and (ii) the Indemnified Party has
reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim or demand will be made.
(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a
party's right to indemnification shall not arise until the aggregate claims
(exclusive of attorney fees) exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).
(6) This Article VI shall survive the consummation of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein; PROVIDED HOWEVER that no
claim for indemnification may be made after the one (1) year anniversary of the
Closing of this transaction.
