For purposes of Section 3.4, the term “Losses” shall mean all damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind, nature or description, it being the intent of the Parties that the amount of any such Loss shall be the amount necessary to restore the indemnified party to the position it would have been in (economically or otherwise), including any costs or expenses incident to such restoration, had the breach, event, occurrence or condition occasioning such Loss never occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, no claim for indemnification shall be made by Seller under this section unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses of Seller in respect thereof shall exceed $15,000, but then such indemnified parties shall be entitled to all indemnifiable Losses above and below such threshold.

3.4.3       Indemnification Procedure.
 
(a)          An indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of any claim of such indemnified party for indemnification under this Agreement within thirty days of the date on which such indemnified party or an executive officer or representative of such indemnified party first becomes aware of the existence of such claim. Such notice shall specify the nature of such claim in reasonable detail and the indemnifying party shall be given reasonable access to any documents or properties within the control of the indemnified party as may be useful in the investigation of the basis for such claim. The failure to so notify the indemnifying party within such thirty-day period shall not constitute a waiver of such claim but an indemnified party shall not be entitled to receive any indemnification with respect to any additional loss that occurred as a result of the failure of such person to give such notice.
 
In the event any indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder based upon a claim asserted by a third party, the indemnifying party shall be given prompt notice thereof, in reasonable detail. The failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not constitute a waiver of such claim but an indemnified party shall not be entitled to receive any indemnification with respect to any Loss that occurred as a result of the failure of such person to give such notice. The indemnifying party shall have the right (without prejudice to the right of any indemnified party to participate at its expense through counsel of its own choosing) to defend or prosecute such claim at its expense and through counsel of its own choosing if it gives written notice to the indemnified party of its intention to do so not later than twenty days following notice of the claim to the indemnifying party or such shorter time period as required so that the interests of the indemnified party would not be materially prejudiced as a result of its failure to have received such notice from the indemnifying party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any action shall include both an indemnifying party and an indemnified party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that counsel selected by the indemnifying party has a conflict of interest because of the availability of different or additional defenses to the indemnified party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its behalf, at the expense of the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party does not so choose to defend or prosecute any such claim asserted by a third party for which any indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to recover from the indemnifying party, on a monthly basis, all of its attorneys’ reasonable fees and other costs and expenses of litigation of any nature whatsoever incurred in the defense of such claim. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any claim by an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph, the indemnified party shall have the right to approve the terms of any settlement of a claim (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
 
 
Page 5 of 13

 
 
(b)          The indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall cooperate in furnishing evidence and testimony and in any other manner which the other may reasonably request, and shall in all other respects have an obligation of good faith dealing, one to the other, so as not to unreasonably expose the other to an undue risk of loss. The indemnified party shall be entitled to reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with such cooperation. Except for fees and expenses for which indemnification is provided pursuant to Section 3.4, and as provided in the preceding sentence, each party shall bear its own fees and expenses incurred pursuant to this paragraph (b).
 
3.5          No Other Representations. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Party makes any further representations or warranties concerning the subject matter contained herein.
 
3.6         Survival. Each of the representations, warranties and agreements of each of the Purchaser and the Seller Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, the provisions of Section 3.4 and 5.3 through 5.11 shall survive the termination.
 
IV.          Securities Representations. Seller hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing, as follows:
 
4.1         Purchase for Own Account. The Seller represents that it is acquiring the Shares solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Shares or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention.
 
4.2         Ability to Bear Economic Risk. The Seller acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.
 
4.3         Access to Information. The Seller acknowledges that the Seller has been furnished with such financial and other information concerning GCI, the directors and officers of GCI, and the business and proposed business of GCI as the Seller considers necessary in connection with the Seller’s investment in the Shares. Seller has also had an opportunity to review the Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit D, and the GCI information that is publicly available at www.otcmarkets.com. As a result, the Seller is thoroughly familiar with the proposed business, operations, properties and financial condition of GCI and has discussed with officers of GCI any questions the Seller may have had with respect thereto. The Seller understands:
 
 
Page 6 of 13

 
 
 
 
                 (i)          The risks involved in this investment, including the speculative nature of the investment;
 
 
 
                 (ii)         The financial hazards involved in this investment, including the risk of losing the Seller’s entire investment;
 
 
 
                 (iii)        The lack of liquidity and restrictions on transfers of the Shares; and
 
 
 
                 (iv)        The tax consequences of this investment.
 
The Seller has consulted with its own legal, accounting, tax, investment and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of an investment by the Seller in the Shares and the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares.
 
4.4           Shares Part of Private Placement. The Seller has have been advised that the Shares have not been registered under the Act, or qualified under the securities law of any state, on the ground, among others, that no distribution or public offering of the Shares is to be effected and the Shares will be issued by GCI in connection with a transaction that does not involve any public offering within the meaning of section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Act, and under any applicable state blue sky authority. The Seller understands that GCI is relying in part on the Seller’s representations as set forth herein for purposes of claiming such exemptions and that the basis for such exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding the Seller’s representations, the Seller has in mind merely acquiring the Shares for resale on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some predetermined event. The Seller has no such intention.
 
4.5           Seller Not Affiliated with Company. The Seller, either alone or with its professional advisers (i) is unaffiliated with, has no equity interest in, and is not compensated by, the Purchaser or GCI or any affiliate or selling agent of the Purchaser or GCI, directly or indirectly; (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares; and (iii) has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with its proposed investment in the Shares.
 
4.6           Further Limitations on Disposition. The Seller further acknowledges that the Shares are restricted securities under Rule 144 of the Act, and, therefore, any certificates reflecting the ownership interest in the Shares will contain a restrictive legend substantially similar to the following:
 
 
Page 7 of 13

 
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
 
Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Seller further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares unless and until:
 
(i)         There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
 
(ii)         Such Seller shall have obtained the consent of GCI and notified GCI of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished GCI with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by GCI, the Seller shall have furnished GCI with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to GCI, that such disposition will not require registration under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
 
Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by such Seller to a partner (or retired partner) of Seller, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were Seller hereunder as long as the consent of GCI is obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
In addition, Seller acknowledges that GCI was, prior to November 19, 2010, a “shell” corporation as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 144(i) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). As a result, Rule 144 is not available for the resale of the Shares until GCI “cures” its shell status by meeting the following requirements:
 
 
(1)
GCI is no longer a shell company as defined in Rule 144(i)(1);
 
(2)
GCI has filed all reports (other than Form 8-K reports) required under the Exchange Act for the preceding 12 months (or for a shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials); and
 
(3)
has filed current “Form 10 information” with the Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1), and at least one year has elapsed since the issuer filed that information with the Commission.  See Rule 144(i)(2).

(ii)         had an individual income of more than $200,000 in each of the two most recent calendar years, and reasonably expects to have an individual income in excess of $200,000 in the current calendar year; or along with Seller’s spouse had joint income in excess of $300,000 in each of the two most recent calendar years, and reasonably expects to have a joint income in excess of $300,000 in the current calendar year.
 
For purposes of this Agreement, “individual income” means “adjusted gross income” as reported for Federal income tax purposes, exclusive of any income attributable to a spouse or to property owned by a spouse and increased by the following amounts: (i) the amount of any interest income received which is tax-exempt under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), (ii) the amount of losses claimed as a limited partner in a limited partnership (as reported on Schedule E of form 1040), (iii) any deduction claimed for depletion under Section 611 et seq. of the Code and (iv) any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code as it was in effect prior to enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

(the “Assumed Liabilities”). The assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of any third party against Purchaser or the Seller Parties as compared to the rights and remedies which such third party would have had against the Seller Parties had Purchaser not assumed such liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing, the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities shall not create any third party beneficiary rights. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser does not agree to and shall not assume or be obligated to discharge or perform any claim, indebtedness, liability, or obligation whatsoever whether now existing or hereafter arising, of any Seller Party.
 
5.2           Non-Compete Agreement.

The Seller Parties acknowledge and agree that, given the nature of Sellers’ business, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.1 are necessary and reasonable in terms of the activities restricted, as well as the geographic and temporal scope of such restrictions. The Seller Parties further acknowledge and agree that if any of the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall ever be deemed to exceed the time, activity, geographic, or other limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be and hereby are reformed to the maximum time, activity, geographic, or other limitations permitted by applicable law.
