7.1         General.  In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article 8 below). The Sellers acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing, Buyer and the Funds will be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records (including Tax records), agreements, and financial data of any sort relating to G-Soft and its Subsidiaries.
 
7.2         Litigation Support.  In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim, or demand in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving any of G-Soft and its Subsidiaries, each of the other Parties will cooperate with him, her or it and his, her or its counsel in the contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony and access to their books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article 8 below).
 
7.3         Transition.  None of the Sellers will take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer, supplier, or other business associate of any of G-Soft and its Subsidiaries from maintaining the same business relationships with G-Soft and its Subsidiaries after the Closing as it maintained with G-Soft and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing.

7.4          Confidentiality.  Each of the Sellers will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to Buyer or the Funds, as the case may be, or destroy, at the request and option of Buyer or the Funds, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in his or its possession. In the event that any of the Sellers is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, that Seller will notify Buyer or the Funds, as the case may be, promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer or the Funds may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.4. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any of the Sellers is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, that Seller may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing Seller shall use his or its reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of Buyer or the Funds, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer or the Funds shall designate.
 
7.5          Public Announcements.  Unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement or making any other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) regarding the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither shall issue any such press release or make any such statement or disclosure without the prior approval of the other (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as may be required by law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or with the Nasdaq Stock Market.
 
7.6          Regulatory Approvals.  To the extent that any Regulatory Approvals are not received by Fonix or G-Soft and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, before Closing, and Fonix, G-Soft or Sellers, as the case may be, agree to Close, Sellers, G-Soft and Fonix shall diligently and jointly prosecute all such applications and take all such actions and give all such notices as may be required or requested by the Commissions or other applicable governmental authorities or as may be appropriate in an effort to expedite the grant of such consents, approvals and authorizations by the Commissions or other applicable governmental authorities.
 
7.7          Post-Closing Merger.  If, after Closing, Fonix or Buyer elect to complete a merger of G-Soft with and into Buyer or Fonix, Buyer or Fonix, as the case may be, shall comply in all materials respect with the requirements of applicable corporate law, including without limitation, Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
7.8          Audited Financial Statements.  Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, G-Soft will provided Fonix with (i) audited, consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, changes in accumulated deficit, and cash flow as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, for G-Soft and its Subsidiaries, including G-Soft, Inc. and Shanghai Gaozhi Software Systems Limited; and (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flow as of and for the  six  months ended June 30, 2008 for G-Soft and its Subsidiaries, including G-Soft, Inc. and Shanghai Gaozhi Software Systems Limited. The financial statements described above (including the notes thereto) shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby and present fairly the financial condition of G-Soft and its Subsidiaries, including G-Soft, Inc. and Shanghai Gaozhi Software Systems Limited, as of such dates and the results of operations of G-Soft and its Subsidiaries, including G-Soft, Inc. and Shanghai Gaozhi Software Systems Limited, for such periods

INDEMNIFICATION
 
8.1          Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
 
(a)           The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until one (1) year after the Closing Date; provided, however, that:
 
(i)           the representation and warranties contained in Sections 3.1(a), (b), (c) and (d), 3.2(a), (b), and (c), 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.10 and 4.13(b) shall survive without limitation;

Any claim by a party based upon breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement made in accordance with Article 8 must be submitted to the breaching party prior to or at the expiration of the applicable survival period specified in Section 8.1(a) or such claim may not be pursued and is irrevocably waived. Notwithstanding any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing Date or the decision of any party to complete the Closing, each party shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right of indemnification, or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any representation, warranty, covenant and agreement that is the subject of a claim asserted in writing prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 8.1(a) shall survive with respect to such claim or any dispute with respect thereto until the final resolution thereof. No written assertion described in the preceding sentence will extend the survival of any claim unless the assertion describes the matters with sufficient particularity to reasonably apprise the receiving party of the specific subject matter of such claim.

  (F)           any liability of G-Soft or its Subsidiaries other than liabilities set forth on or reserved for in the Most Recent Balance Sheet; and
 
  (G)           any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations, demands, assessments, audits, fines, judgments, costs and other expenses incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 8.2(a).
 
(b)           In addition to the indemnification obligations of Buyer and Fonix set forth elsewhere herein, from and after the Closing, Buyer, Fonix and the Funds jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Seller (“Seller Indemnified Persons”), against and in respect of any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Person that result from, relate to or arise out of:

(b)           Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, Sellers shall not be liable for any Damages with respect to any breach of warranty or representation under Section 8.2(a) unless and until the total of all claims for indemnity or damages with respect thereto exceeds $50,000 (the “Sellers’ Deductible”), and then the Sellers shall be liable for all such claims (including the Seller Deductible); provided however, the Buyer Indemnified Persons’ initial, but not exclusive, remedy with respect to any Damages described in Section 8.2(a) above will be to offset any such Damages against interest or principal payable or outstanding under the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller, severally, will be liable for any Damages resulting from fraud or an intentional, willful or knowing breach of any representation or warranty by such Seller, and each Seller jointly and severally shall be liable for any Damages resulting from fraud or intentional, willful or knowing breach of any representation or warranty by the Company set forth herein, and any such Damages will not count toward the aggregate amount of all Damages being computed for purposes of the Sellers’ Deductible, and none of the other limitations on Damages contained in this Section 8.3, including any limitation with respect to the source of recovery for any such Damages, will apply to any such Damages.
 

 
35

 

(c)           Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, Fonix and Buyer shall not be liable for any Damages with respect to any breach of warranty or representation under Section 8.2(b) unless and until the total of all claims for indemnity or damages with respect thereto exceeds $50,000 (the “Buyer’s Deductible”), and then Fonix and Buyer shall be liable for all such claims (including the Buyer’s Deductible).
 
(d)           Any party seeking indemnification under this Article 8 shall be required to act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to mitigate any Damages they may suffer.
 
(e)           In no event shall either party hereto be liable for indirect, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages resulting from, relating to or arising out of a breach of or claim for indemnification under this Agreement, even if advised at the time of breach of the possibility of such damages, except to the extent such damages are the subject of a Third Party Claim for which indemnification is available under this Agreement.
 
(f)           If, after a party or its Affiliates receive any indemnification payment hereunder, the amount of such party’s Damages to which such payment relates is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under any insurance coverage (or other source of indemnity or reimbursement), or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any Third Party, the amount of such reduction (less any costs, expenses, or Taxes incurred in connection therewith) will promptly be repaid by the party receiving such amount to the other party.
 
(g)           Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability in amount or otherwise of any Party with respect to fraud, criminal activity or intentional breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement.
 
8.4          Adjustment For Insurance and Tax Benefits.  Any indemnification payable in accordance with Section 8.2 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered (after deducting related costs and expenses) by the indemnitee under this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) for the Damages for which such indemnification payment is made, under any insurance policy, warranty or indemnity from any Third Party existing at the Closing Date, provided that no Indemnitee shall be obligated to seek any recovery under any such insurance policy, warranty, indemnity or any Tax benefits actually realized and recognized by the Indemnitee in respect of any Losses for which indemnification is made.
 

 
36

 

8.5          Payment.
 
(a)           Upon a determination of liability by a court or adjudicatory body of competent jurisdiction in respect of Article 8 of this Agreement, the appropriate party shall pay the Indemnitee the amount so determined (subject to the limitations of Section 8.3) within ten (10) Business Days after the date of determination (such tenth Business Day, the “Due Date”). If there should be a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Agreement, the indemnitor under this Agreement (the “Indemnitor”) shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation as shall not be subject to dispute. The difference, if any, between the amount of the obligation ultimately determined as properly payable under this Agreement and the portion, if any, theretofore paid shall bear interest as provided below in Section 8.5(b). Upon the payment in full of any claim, either by setoff or otherwise, the Indemnitor or other Person making payment shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnitee against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such claim.
 
(b)           If all or part of any indemnification obligation under this Agreement is not paid when due, then the Indemnitor shall pay the Indemnitee interest on the unpaid amount of the obligation for each calendar day from the Due Date until payment in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum.
 
8.6          Matters Involving Third Parties.
 
(a)           If any third party shall notify any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.
 
(b)           Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of his or its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at any time within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard; and provided further that the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim.
 
(c)           So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.4 above, (A) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by one or more of the Indemnifying Parties and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party and (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).
 

 
37

 

(d)           In the event none of the Indemnifying Parties assumes and conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.6, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner he or it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (B) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 8.
 
8.7          Exclusive Remedy; Offset.  Except in the case of fraud, the remedies provided in this Article 8 shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to G-Soft, its Subsidiaries, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
(a)           Each of the Sellers hereby agrees that he, she or it will not make any claim for indemnification against any of G-Soft and its Subsidiaries by reason of the fact that he, she or it was a director, officer, employee, or agent of any such entity or was serving at the request of any such entity as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by Buyer against such Seller (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law, or otherwise).
 
(b)           The initial, but not exclusive, recourse of any Buyer Indemnitee for recovering any Damages payable by any Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(a), and subject to the otherwise applicable limitations of Section 8.2 shall be for Buyer to offset any such Damages from payments which are due or will become due to such Seller under this Agreement, the Note, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other agreement between Buyer or G-Soft and such Seller.  If the offset provided by this Section 8.7(a) does not provide for a full satisfaction of the Damages payable by any Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(a), any Buyer Indemnitee shall have the right to pursue other remedies as provided in this Article 8.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, should Fonix common stock cease to trade on any exchange, market, trading system or facility, including any inter-dealer electronic quotation and trading system in the over-the-counter (OTC) securities market, as a direct consequence of any act or omission of Fonix for more than thirty (30) days, then Fonix shall pay to the holders of the Fonix Securities a penalty in the amount of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month of the then outstanding aggregate stated value of the Fonix Securities, said penalty to be paid within five (5) days after the end of each calendar month.
 

 
38

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, should G-Soft fail to timely comply with the requirements of Section 7.8 of this Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies then available to Fonix hereunder, the unpaid principal balance of the Note shall be reduced in the amount of $150,000 and $150,000 for each period of thirty (30) days thereafter during which such default continues.

Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. G-Soft and its Subsidiaries and the Sellers agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to G-Soft and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, G-Soft and its Subsidiaries or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.
 
(b)           Buyer and the Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).
 
(c)           Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code and all Treasury Department Regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
9.2          Certain Taxes.
 
All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Sellers when due, and the Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
