Indemnification.
(a)
General Indemnification Obligation of Seller. From and after the Closing, Seller will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its successors and assigns (an “Indemnified Buyer Party”) against and in respect of:
(i)
Damages. Any and all damages, losses, deficiencies, liabilities, costs and expenses (the “Damages”) incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Buyer Party that result from, relate to or arise out of any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant on the part of Seller under this Agreement or any other document delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, or from any misrepresentation in or omission from any certificate, schedule, statement, document or instrument furnished to Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto; and
(ii)
Actions. Any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations, demands, assessments, fines, judgments, costs and other expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) (collectively, “Actions”) incident to any of the foregoing.
(b)
General Indemnification Obligation of Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer will reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its successors and assigns (an “Indemnified Seller Party”) against and in respect of:
(i)
Damages. Any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Seller Party that result from, relate to or arise out of any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant on the part of Buyer under this Agreement or any other document delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, or from any misrepresentation in or omission from any certificate, schedule, statement, document or instrument furnished to Seller pursuant hereto or thereto; and
(ii)
Actions. Any and all Actions incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 8(b).
(c)
Method of Asserting Claims, Etc. In the event that any claim or demand is asserted against or sought to be collected from any party hereto (an “Indemnified Party”) by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party from which indemnification is sought pursuant to Sections 8(a) or 8(b) above (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim or demand, specifying the nature of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) days from its receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party, (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim or demand and (ii) notwithstanding any such dispute, whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand.
11
(i)
Dispute of Liability. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim or demand or the amount thereof (whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand as provided herein), such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 8(g) hereof. Pending the resolution of any dispute by the Indemnifying Party of its liability with respect to any claim or demand, such claim or demand shall not be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
(ii)
Defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claims or demand, then, provided: (i) that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges that it is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to a particular claim; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party has financial resources which are reasonably adequate to pay the amount of the claim, except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion in such a manner as to avoid any risk of the Indemnified Party becoming subject to liability for any other matter. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, it may do so at its sole cost and expense.
(iii)
Indemnifying Party Liability. (1) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the amount of any such claim or demand, or if the same be defended by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party (but no Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to defend any such claim or demand), then that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful, in each case shall be conclusively deemed to be a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, unless the Indemnifying Party shall have disputed its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, as provided herein, in which event such dispute shall be resolved as provided in Section 12 hereof; (2) In the event an Indemnified Party should have a claim against the Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted against or sought to be collected from it by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly send a Claim Notice with respect to such claim to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim or demand, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 8(g) hereof; if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it disputes such claim, the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.
(d)
Payment.
(i)
Upon determination of liability hereunder, the appropriate party shall pay to the other, as the case may be, within twenty (20) days after such determination, the amount of any claim for indemnification made hereunder. Upon the payment in full of any claim hereunder, the entity making payment shall be subrogated to the right of the indemnified party against any person, firm or corporation with respect to the subject matter of such claim.
(ii)
In case of any payment obligation by a Seller party hereunder at the election of such Seller Party, such obligation may be satisfied by the payment of cash or using such party’s common stock of the Company. The value of the stock for purposes of this paragraph shall be calculated at the greater of $1.50 per share or the average closing price of the Company’s stock for the thirty (30) days preceding the date of payment.
(e)
Other Rights and Remedies Not Affected. The indemnification rights of the parties under this Section 8 are the sole remedy for a breach of the representations and warranties hereunder, but are independent of and in addition to the rights and remedies as the parties may have at law or in equity or otherwise for any failure to fulfill any agreement or covenant under any other section of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Sections 9, 10, 11 and 12 hereunder, on the part of any party hereto, including without limitation the right to seek specific performance, none of which rights or remedies shall be affected or diminished hereby.
9.
Publicity. Buyer and Seller agree not to disclose to any person or entity, without the prior written consent of the other, any of the terms of this Agreement at any time prior to Closing and for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter, except as may be necessary for the performance of their obligations hereunder or the operation of GRI in the ordinary course of business.

10.

No Share Purchases. Seller agrees to not purchase any of the shares of the Buyer from any source whatsoever at any time after the date hereof and prior to Closing.
12

At Closing or as soon as possible thereafter, William C. Gibbs, Mark F. Lindsey, Gayle McKeachnie, Barry Larson and Edward Mooney shall be appointed to the board to fulfill the vacancies created.
(c)
Further Actions. Seller warrants and agrees that, from time to time, Seller will use Seller’s best efforts to cause any present or previous shareholder, director or officer of GRI to execute such minutes of meetings or other instruments and take whatever actions as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect, or to carry out the intent and purposes of, the transactions contemplated hereby.
11.
Termination and Amendment.
(a)
Pre-Closing. This Agreement may be terminated by Buyer or Seller at any time prior to the Closing upon written notice to the other parties:
(i)
If the representations, warranties and agreements or conditions of this Agreement to be complied with or performed by GRI or the Seller (in the case of Buyer) or Buyer (in the case of Seller) on or before the Closing shall not have then been complied with or performed in some material respect and such material noncompliance or nonperformance shall not have been waived by the party giving notice of termination or shall not have been cured by the defaulting party, or cure thereof commenced and diligently prosecuted thereafter by such party within three (3) business days after written notice of such material noncompliance or nonperformance is given by the non-defaulting party;
(ii)
If any governmental action is commenced to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;
(iii)
By mutual written agreement of the parties;
(iv)
If the Closing has not occurred by May 31, 2011.

12.
Dispute Resolution.
(a)
Mediation. Any claim, dispute, or controversy between the parties arising in connection with or relating to this Agreement or the making, performance or interpretation thereof shall, if not settled by negotiation, be submitted to non-binding mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Any demand for mediation shall be made in writing and served upon the other party in the same manner as otherwise provided for notice in this Agreement. The demand shall set forth with reasonable specificity the basis of the dispute and the performance or relief sought. The parties shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a demand to mediate, confer and select a mediator. The mediation shall take place at a time and location in Salt Lake City, Utah mutually agreeable to the parties and the mediator, but not later than sixty (60) days after a demand for mediation is received.
(b)
Arbitration. All disputes under this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in Salt Lake City, Utah pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration may be commenced at any time by any party hereto giving written notice to each other party to a dispute that such dispute has been referred to arbitration under this Agreement. The arbitrator(s) shall be selected by the joint agreement of Seller and Buyer, but if they do not so agree within twenty (20) days after the date of the notice referred to above, the selection shall be made pursuant to the rules from the panels of arbitrators maintained by such Association. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such award shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator giving the reasons for the award. This provision for arbitration shall be specifically enforceable by the parties and the decision of the arbitrator in accordance herewith shall be final and binding and there shall be no right of appeal therefrom. Each party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrator shall be equally shared; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the arbitrator any claim or any defense or objection thereto was unreasonable, the arbitrator may assess, as part of his award, all or any part of the arbitration expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and of the arbitrator against the party raising such unreasonable claim, defense or objection. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall prevent the parties from settling any dispute by mutual agreement at any time.
13
