The Balance Sheet and the Interim Balance Sheet, and related statements of income, changes in Stockholders' equity and cash flow were not audited. However, nothing came to the Sellers' attention that caused either of them to believe that the Balance Sheet was not prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, applied consistently or that it does not fairly present the financial position of Innerspace at June 30, 2003, and the results of operations, for the year then ended, in accordance with G.A.A.P. The Interim Balance Sheet and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and notes fairly present the financial condition and the results of operation, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flow of Innerspace as at November 30, 2003 and for the 5 month period then ended in accordance with GAAP.

Subject to such reserves, each of the Accounts Receivable either has been or will be collected in full, without any set-off within ninety days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable.

If the Closing occurs, Buyer will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation or warranty or covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date unless on or before June 30, 2004 Sellers notify Buyer of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Sellers. 31 10.5 LIMITATIONS ON AMOUNT - SELLERS Sellers will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clause (a), clause (b) or, to the extent relating to any failure to perform or comply prior to the Closing Date, clause (c) of Section 10.2 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $25,000, and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed $25,000. Furthermore, Sellers shall not be liable for the matters set forth in the preceding sentence, to the extent that any such damages exceed $636,000. However, this Section 10.5 will not apply to any Breach of any of Sellers' representations and warranties of which either Seller had knowledge at any time prior to the date of which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional breach by either Seller of any covenant or obligation, and Sellers will be jointly and severally liable for all Damages with respect to such breaches. 10.6 LIMITATIONS ON AMOUNT - BUYER Buyer will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 10.4 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $25,000 and then only for the amount by with such Damages exceed $25,000. However, this Section 10.6 will not apply to any Breach of any of Buyer's representations and warranties of which Buyer had knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made of any intentional Breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation, and Buyer will be liable for all Damages with respect to such breaches. 10.7 RIGHT OF SET-OFF Upon notice to Sellers specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such set-off, Buyer may set off any amount to which it may be entitled under this Section 10 against amounts otherwise payable under the Promissory Note or otherwise. The exercise of such right of set-off by Buyer in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default under the Promissory Note or any instrument securing the Promissory Note. The exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of set-off will not constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it. 10.8 PROCEDURES FOR INDEMNIFICATION - THIRD PARTY CLAIMS (a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but 32 the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnified party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party's failure to give such notice. (b) If any proceeding referred to in Section 10.8(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will, unless the claim involves taxes, be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such proceeding), assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of legal requirements or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party's notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld). (d) Sellers hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a proceeding is brought against any indemnified person by a third party, for purposes of any claim that an indemnified person may have under this agreement with 33 respect to such proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on Sellers with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world. 11.
