  .   Purchaser, the Company and the Seller each acknowledge and agree that its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all loss relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 9, except as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

  9.4.1   Deductible Amount. Seller shall not have any liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 until the aggregate of all losses suffered by Purchaser with respect to such matter exceed the sum (for purposes of this Section 9.4, such sum is referred to as the “Deductible Amount”) of $75,000.00, and then only for the amount by which such aggregate losses exceed the Deductible Amount.

  9.4.2.   Cap. The maximum indemnification obligation payable by Seller to the Purchaser or the Company shall not exceed 50% of the Purchase Price (“the “Cap”).

  9.4.3   Notwithstanding the foregoing the Seller shall pay for and assume all damages, judgements and monetary charges with respect to the pending litigation against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego regarding the apartment fire which occurred at 575 W. Madison Avenue, El Cajun, CA. The obligations under this section shall not be subject to the Deductible Amount or the Cap.

  9.4.4   Losses.

9.4.4.1. The amount of any loss for which indemnification is provided under this Section 9 shall be net of (i) in the case of Section 9.2, any reserves heretofore established on the accounting records of the Company as of the Closing Date, (ii) any amounts recovered or recoverable by the indemnified party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party, (iii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement available as an offset against such loss (and no right of subrogation shall accrue to any insurer or third party indemnitor hereunder) (each of (i), (ii), and (iii), a “Collateral Source”, and (iv) an amount equal to the Tax benefit, if any, attributable to such loss.

9.4.4.2. Indemnification under Section 9.2 or 9.3 shall not be available to any indemnified party for matters in which a Collateral Source is involved unless such indemnified party first seeks recovery from any Collateral Source for such claim before making any claim for indemnification by the indemnifying Party. Any indemnifying Party may, in its sole discretion, require any indemnified Party to grant an assignment of the right of such indemnified Party to assert a claim against any Collateral Source. In the event of such assignment, the indemnifying Party will pursue such claim at its own expense.

  9.5.   Amounts due Purchaser.

. The amount of any monies owed by the Seller to the Purchaser under Section 9.2 and/or the failure by the Seller to make payments required by Section 9,4.3 shall be first made through an offset of any amounts due to the Seller under the Note and for any amounts in excess of the Note by the payment of certified funds to the Purchaser within five (5) business days of Purchaser’s delivery of a written demand to the Seller for such monies . In the event that the Purchaser is compelled to commence legal proceedings for recovery of any Losses in accordance with Section 9.2 and/or payments under Section 9.4.3, and the Purchaser is successful in such proceedings, the Seller shall also be responsible for the payment of all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such legal proceedings including any expenses incurred in connection with attempts to collect such Losses prior to the institution of such proceedings. In the event the Purchaser is unsuccessful in such legal proceedings, the Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with such legal proceedings.

9.6. Procedures. If any legal proceedings are instituted or any claim or demand is asserted by any person not a party to this Agreement in respect of which any of the Purchaser Parties or the Seller Parties may seek indemnification pursuant to the provisions hereunder, the indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice (the “Notice”) of the assertion of any such claim or demand to be made to the indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the failure of the indemnified Party to give prompt Notice shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such failure caused the damages for which the indemnifying Party is obligated to be greater than they would have been had the indemnified Party given the indemnifying Party prompt Notice hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option and expense, to defend against, negotiate, or settle any such claim or demand, and if the indemnifying Party exercises that option, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses incurred after the date the indemnifying Party notifies the indemnified Party of such exercise by any counsel employed by the indemnified Party. An indemnifying Party may not settle any such claim or demand without the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the indemnified Party unless such settlement requires no more than a monetary payment for which the indemnified Party is fully indemnified or involves other matters not binding upon the indemnified Party. An indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim or demand effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that the indemnifying Party shall fail to respond within ten (10) days after the giving of the Notice, then the indemnified Party may retain counsel and conduct the defense thereof as it may in its sole discretion deem proper, at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying Party. The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand.

10. NON COMPETITION

  10.1.   Non-Competition; Confidential Information. Seller acknowledges that it has had access to, has acquired, and has assisted in developing, confidential and proprietary information relating to the Business, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, information with respect to present and prospective services, technology, processes, customers, agents, and sales and marketing methods. Seller acknowledges that such information has been and will be of central importance to the Business and that disclosure of it to, or its use by others, could cause substantial loss to the Business. Seller accordingly agrees as follows:

10.1.1. From and after the Closing, niether Seller nor its Affiliates shall, unless acting pursuant to the prior written consent of Purchaser, directly or indirectly, either individually or as owner, consultant, partner, employee, shareholder or otherwise:

10.1.1.1. engage in any aspect of the Business in the United States of America and/or any other market where the Company conducts business;

10.1.1.2. solicit the Business from any person, firm, company or other entity which is or was at any time within three (3) years prior to the date hereof, a customer of the Company;

10.1.1.3. make use of, disclose or divulge to any third person any information of a proprietary, secret or confidential nature relating to the Business;

10.1.1.4. use or allow to be used any trade or business name, or other work, symbol, logo or other means of identification which was, or is substantially similar to, one which, was or is then used by the Company in the Business; or

10.1.1.5. whether on Seller’s behalf or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other person, firm, company or other entity solicit, encourage or entice away from Purchaser (or attempt to do so) any officer or employee (whether or not such person would commit a breach of contract by so doing).

  10.2.   The obligations of Seller with respect to Sections 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2 and 10.1.1.5. will terminate Five (5) years from the date hereof.

  10.3.   It is recognized that damages in the event of breach of this Section 10 would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that Purchaser shall also have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach, and the Seller hereby waives any and all defenses Seller may have on the grounds of competence of the court to grant such any injunction or other equitable relief. The existence of this right shall not preclude any other rights and remedies at law or in equity which Purchaser may have. The parties agree that the restrictions and agreements contained herein are reasonable, are the product of arm’s length negotiation, and are necessary for Purchaser to protect the Business and Assets; however, in the event that any part of this Section 10 shall be found to be unenforceable, but would be valid and enforceable if any part thereof were deleted or otherwise modified, then such restrictions in this Section 10 shall apply with such modifications, but only to the extent as shall be necessary to make them valid and enforceable.

11. MISCELLANEOUS

  11.1.   Expenses. Seller and Purchaser shall each bear the expenses incurred by them in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
