(c)

8.2

Consents to Assignment.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract or Permit or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a Default thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer thereunder.  If such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would affect the rights thereunder so that Buyer would not receive all such rights, Seller will cooperate with Buyer, in all reasonable respects, to provide to Buyer the benefits under any such Contract or Permit or any claim or right, including without limitation enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto arising out of the Default or cancellation by such third party or otherwise.

8.3

Merchant Banking Holdback Amount.   Within fifteen (15) days following the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing of this Agreement, Buyer shall pay to Seller via wire transfer, the Merchant Banking Holdback Amount (if any), less the amount of any chargebacks that are attributable to any transaction that occurred prior to the Closing under that certain Merchant Processing Agreement and that are debited in good faith by Buyer against the Designated Account or the Reserve Account during the six-month period following the Closing.  During the six- (6-) month period following the Closing, Buyer shall provide to Seller copies of the credit card merchant statements that Buyer receives from ePayData, Inc.  Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of such statements as soon as practicably possible upon receipt from ePayData, Inc.

16

Cooperation and Records Retention.  Seller and Buyer shall (i) each provide the other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by any of them in connection with the preparation of any return, audit, or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceedings relating to Liability for Taxes, (ii) each retain and provide the other with any records or other information that may be relevant to such return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination, and (iii) each provide the other with any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding, or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any tax return of the other for any period.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall each retain, until the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions) have expired, copies of all tax returns, supporting work schedules, and other records or information that may be relevant to such returns for all tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records without first providing the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy the same.

(c)

Preparation of Form W-2’s.  Pursuant to Revenue Procedure 84-77 (1984-2 C.B. 753), provided that Seller provides Buyer with all necessary payroll records for the calendar year which includes the Closing Date, Buyer shall furnish a Form W-2 to each employee employed by Buyer who had been employed by Seller disclosing all wages and other compensation paid for such calendar year, and taxes withheld therefrom, and Seller shall be relieved of the responsibility to do so.

(d)

Payment of Liabilities.  Following the Closing Date, Seller shall pay promptly when due all of the debts and Liabilities of Seller, including any Liability for Taxes, other than Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, this covenant shall not apply to that portion (or all) of any debt that Seller is contesting in good faith.

8.5

Survival of Representations.  All of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by each party in this Agreement or in any attachment, Exhibit, the Disclosure Schedule, certificate, document or list delivered by any such party pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing for a period of (and claims based upon or arising out of such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements may be asserted at any time before the date which shall be) two (2) years following the Closing (except with respect to the representations and warranties set forth Section 4.19 (Tax Matters) which shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (with extensions) with respect to the matters addressed in such section.  Each party hereto shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties of the other party set forth in this Agreement.  The termination of the representations and warranties provided herein shall not affect the rights of a party in respect of any Claim made by such party in a writing received by the other party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period provided herein.

8.6

Indemnifications

(a)

By Parent and Seller.  Parent and Seller, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Buyer, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and its and their respective Representatives, from and against any and all costs, losses, Taxes, Liabilities, obligations, damages, lawsuits, deficiencies, claims, demands, and expenses (whether or not arising out of third-party claims), attorneys’ fees and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (herein, “Damages”), incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation, made by Parent or Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) any Excluded Liability; or (iv) any Liability imposed upon Buyer by reason of Buyer’s status as transferee of the Business or the Assets.  

The term “Damages” as used in this Section 8.6 is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against Seller or Buyer, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by Seller or Buyer in the absence of third party claims.  Payments by Buyer of amounts for which Buyer is indemnified hereunder, and payments by Seller of amounts for which Seller is indemnified, shall not be a condition precedent to recovery.  Seller’s obligation to indemnify Buyer, and Buyer’s obligation to indemnify Seller, shall not limit any other rights, including without limitation rights of contribution which either party may have under statute or common law.

(b)

By Buyer.  Buyer shall indemnify and save and hold harmless Parent, Seller, their respective affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation, made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) from and after the Closing, any Assumed Liability, and (iv) the ownership, lease, use or operation of the Business or the Assets after the Closing.



17






(c)

Cooperation.  The indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects 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 the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom.  The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

(d)

Defense of Claims.  If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder against the indemnifying party, the party claiming such indemnification shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party as soon as practicable after the party entitled to indemnification becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 8.6.  If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written notice thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons).  The failure of any indemnified party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure.  After such notice, if the indemnifying party shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, then the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, in which event the indemnified party shall be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, if the remediation or resolution of any such Claim is reasonably expected to have an adverse effect on the indemnified party’s business operations, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party shall be entitled to control such remediation or resolution, and to compromise or settle such Claim.  If the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the indemnified party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying party) have the right to undertake, at the indemnifying party’s cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party; provided, however, that such Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In the event the indemnified party assumes the defense of the claim, the indemnified party will keep the indemnifying party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.  The indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8.6 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless an indemnified party from and against any Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the indemnified party had a reasonable opportunity, but failed in good faith to mitigate any Damages with respect to any claim, including the failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under a policy of insurance or under a contractual right of set-off or indemnity, amounts of indemnity payable to such indemnified party shall be reduced by the amount by which such indemnified party could have reduced such loss had such indemnified party not failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such Damages.

(e)

Buyer’s Right of Offset.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Buyer may withhold and set off against (i) the Holdback Amount and (ii) any other amounts otherwise due Seller.

(f)

Product and Warranty Liability.  The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall cover, without limitation, all Liabilities of whatsoever kind, nature or description relating, directly or indirectly, to product liability, litigation or claims against Buyer or Seller in connection with, arising out of, or relating to products sold by Buyer or Seller, respectively.

(g)

Brokers and Finders.  Pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.6, each of Buyer and Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other party from the payment of any and all broker’s and finder’s expenses, commissions, fees or other forms of compensation which may be due or payable from or by the indemnifying party, or may have been earned by any third party acting on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with the negotiation and execution hereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h)

Representatives.  No individual Representative of any party shall be personally liable for any Damages under the provisions contained in this Section 8.6.  Nothing herein shall relieve either party of any Liability to make any payment expressly required to be made by such party pursuant to this Agreement.



18






8.7

Payment of Holdback Amount.  Buyer shall hold and pay the Holdback Amount pursuant to Article VIII and this Section 8.7.  If Buyer has not delivered a Claim Notice to Seller on or before the Holdback Release Date, all of the Holdback Amount, less the Equidata Transition Expenses, shall be paid promptly to Seller with interest thereon at the rate of 5% per annum from the Closing Date through the date of payment of the Holdback Amount.  If Buyer has delivered one or more Claim Notices to Seller on or before the Holdback Release Date and has exercised its right of offset pursuant to Section 8.6(e), or has not then determined the appropriate amount to be offset, Buyer shall pay to Seller promptly after the Holdback Release Date an amount equal to the Holdback Amount less (i) the Equidata Transition Expenses and (ii) any amounts offset against it pursuant to Section 8.6(e) and an amount reasonably estimated by Buyer to cover any unresolved claims, with interest thereon as provided in the preceding sentence.  As promptly as practicable after the Holdback Release Date, Buyer shall determine the amount to be retained by it in satisfaction of any such unresolved claims and submit the balance, if any, to Seller with interest as prescribed above.  Buyer and Seller agree and acknowledge that offset against the Holdback Amount shall not be Buyer’s exclusive method of receiving indemnification from Seller pursuant to Section 8.6.

8.8

Bulk Sales.  It may not be practicable to comply or attempt to comply with the procedures of the “Bulk Sales Act” or similar Regulation of any or all of the states in which the Assets are situated or of any other state which may be asserted to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, to induce Buyer to waive any requirements for compliance with any or all of such Regulations, Seller hereby agrees that the indemnity provisions of Section 8.6 hereof shall apply to any Damages of Buyer arising out of or resulting from the failure of Seller or Buyer to comply with any such Regulations.

8.9

Taxes.  Subject to Section 2.5, Parent and Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due all Taxes for which Seller is or may be liable or that are or may become payable with respect to all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

8.10

Insurance.  For three (3) years after the Closing Date, Seller or Parent shall continue to maintain products liability insurance with respect to products insured as of the Closing Date providing substantially the same coverage as in effect on the date hereof and Seller shall cause Buyer to be named as an additional insured on each such policy.  Seller shall deliver to Buyer certificates of insurance or binders reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, issued by one or more insurance carriers reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, evidencing fully paid and non-cancelable general liability insurance coverage with respect to claims arising out of events or occurrences on or prior to the Closing Date (whether or not reported), in amounts not less than the amounts maintained by Seller on the date of this Agreement.  Such insurance coverage shall name Buyer as additional insureds.

8.11

Limitations on Indemnification.  

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Parent shall not be obligated to make any indemnification payment under this Agreement unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages claimed by Buyer hereunder with respect to all Damages under Article VIII exceed the sum of $10,000 (the “Basket”).  If and when the aggregate Damages (for which Seller and/or Parent is obligated under this Agreement to provide indemnification) claimed by Buyer exceed the Basket, the Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification for all such Damages, including those Damages comprising the Basket.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate indemnification obligation of the Seller and Parent exceed the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the limitation on indemnification set forth in this Section 8.11(c) shall not apply to (i) any Damages arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by Seller or Parent of any term or provision of this Agreement, or (ii) the breach of any representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.3 (Authorization), 4.5 (Assets), 4.15 (No Brokers), 4.16 (No Other Agreements to Sell the Assets), 5.2 (Authorization), and 5.5 (No Brokers).   

8.12

Equidata Transition Expenses.  Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be fully responsible for any and all costs or expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the transition of Equidata, Inc.’s members or customers to Buyer’s systems (the “Equidata Transition Expenses”).  The Equidata Transition Expenses shall be deducted by Buyer out of the Holdback Amount as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that Buyer shall provide documentation to Seller of the Equidata Transition Expenses upon request.
