Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company Members in the aggregate be liable for any Losses arising under this Section 6.2(a) in excess of $525,000, except that there shall be no limit to the Company Members’ Liability for a breach of Section 3.2.

                 (b)        Parent shall indemnify and defend and hold harmless the Company Members against and with respect to any and all Losses, arising from, in connection with or with respect to (i)(A) any misrepresentation, breach of any warranty provided in Article IV of this

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be liable for any Losses arising under this Section 6.2(b) in excess of $525,000, except that there shall be no limit to Parent’s liability for a breach of Section 4.2.

                 (c)        If any action or proceeding be commenced, or if any claim, demand or assessment be asserted, in respect of which any party (“Indemnitee”) proposes to hold any other party (“Indemnitor”) liable under the indemnity provisions of this Section 6.2 (a “Claim”), then if the Indemnitor shall, at its option, acknowledge its indemnification obligation and notifies Indemnitee of its election to contest or defend any such Claim, such Indemnitor shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to contest or defend the same with counsel of its own choosing, and Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect thereto or settle, compromise, pay or discharge the same without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor so long as any Indemnitor is contesting or defending the same in good faith, and Indemnitee (and its successors and assigns) shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in the contest or defense thereof (and the Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee for the Indemnitee’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation) and Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement with respect thereto recommended by Indemnitor so long as the amount of such settlement is paid by the Indemnitor and no obligation to perform or refrain from performing any act shall be imposed upon Indemnitee by reason thereof which could have a Company or Parent, as the case may be, Material Adverse Effect on the results of operations or financial condition of Indemnitee.

                 (d)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnitee shall be entitled to conduct its own defense at the reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnitor if not doing so would materially prejudice the Indemnitee due to the nature of any claims or counterclaims presented or by virtue of a conflict between the interest of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor, and provided further that in any event the Indemnitee may participate in such defense at its own expense. If Indemnitee shall have given Indemnitor thirty (30) days written notice that it intends to assume the defense of any Claim and if the Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of such Claim as provided above by the end of such thirty (30) day period or such later reasonable time (which shall be such period of time as will not result in prejudice to the rights of the Indemnitee), then the Indemnitee shall have the right to prosecute and conduct its own defense by counsel of its choice, and in connection therewith shall have full right to conduct the defense thereof and to enter into any compromise or settlement thereof with the consent of the Indemnitor (which shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed). Such defense shall be at the cost and expense of the Indemnitor if it is subsequently determined that the Indemnitor was obligated to defend or indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such action, proceeding, claim, demand or assessment.

19

                 (b)        by Parent or the Company (i) if the Closing Date shall not have occurred on or prior to August 31, 2007 (the “Deadline Date”) unless the failure of such occurrence shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe its agreements set forth herein to be performed or observed by such party at or before the Closing Date;

                 (e)        by Parent, if the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 are not satisfied and are not capable of being satisfied by the Deadline Date; or

                 (f)        by the Company, if the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 are not satisfied and are not capable of being satisfied by the Deadline Date.
