Section 8.04        Limitation on Liability. The obligations of Parent and Acquisition Corp. to the Company Indemnified Parties set forth in Section 8.01 shall be subject to the following limitations:
 
 
- 30 -

(b)        Other than claims based on fraud or for specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief, the indemnity provided in this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Indemnified Parties against Parent and Acquisition Corp. at law or equity for any matter covered by Section 8.01.
 
Section 8.05      Notice of Claims.
 
(a)        If, at any time on or prior to the Claims Deadline, any of the Company Indemnified Parties shall assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01, such Company Indemnified Party shall submit to Parent a written claim in good faith signed by an authorized officer of the Company or other Company Indemnified Party, as applicable, stating (i) that a Company Indemnified Party incurred or reasonably believes it may incur Damages and the reasonable estimate of the amount of any such Damages; (ii) in reasonable detail, the facts alleged as the basis for such claim and the section or sections of this Agreement alleged as the basis or bases for the claim; and (iii) if the Damages have actually been incurred, the number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the Stockholders are entitled to with respect to such Damages, which shall be determined as provided in Section 8.06 below. If the claim is for Damages which the Company Indemnified Parties reasonably believe may be incurred or are otherwise un-liquidated, the written claim of the applicable Company Indemnified Party shall state the reasonable estimate of such Damages, in which event a claim shall be deemed to have been asserted under this Article VIII in the amount of such estimated Damages, but no distribution of additional shares of Parent Common Stock to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 8.06 below shall be made until such Damages have actually been incurred.
 
(b)        In the event that any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any Company Indemnified Party with respect to which Parent may have liability under this Article VIII, Parent shall have the right, at its cost and expense, to defend such action, suit or proceeding in the name and on behalf of the Company Indemnified Party; provided, however, that a Company Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with fees and expenses paid by Parent, if representation of the Company Indemnified Party by counsel retained by Parent would be inappropriate because of actual or potential differing interests between Parent and the Company Indemnified Party. In connection with any action, suit or proceeding subject to Article VIII, Parent and each Company Indemnified Party agree to render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be required in order to ensure proper and adequate defense of such action, suit or proceeding. Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Company Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any claim or demand if such settlement or compromise does not include an irrevocable and unconditional release of such Company Indemnified Party for any liability arising out of such claim or demand.

In the event that the Company Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII for actual Damages incurred by them, Parent shall, within thirty (30) days after the final determination of the amount of such Damages, issue to the Stockholders that number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of such Damages by (y) the Fair Market Value per share of the Parent Common Stock as of the date (the “Determination Date”) of the submission of the notice of claim to Parent pursuant to Section 8.05. Such shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to the Stockholders pro rata, in proportion to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued (or issuable) to the Stockholders at the Effective Time. For purposes of this Section 8.06, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, with respect to a share of Parent Common Stock on any Determination Date, the average of the daily closing prices for the 10 consecutive business days prior to such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last sales price or in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing high bid and low asked prices, in either case (a) as officially quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the NASDAQ Stock Market or such other market on which the Parent Common Stock is then listed for trading or quoted, or (b) if, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, the OTC Bulletin Board or the NASDAQ Stock Market is no longer the principal United States market for the Parent Common Stock, then as quoted on the principal United States market for the Parent Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of Parent, or (c) if, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, there exists no principal United States market for the Parent Common Stock, then as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Parent.
