of shares of Common Stock originally to be issued pursuant to Section 2.2(d)
above, minus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock having a value of Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000) with a per share price equal to the January
Average.
(b) If the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock on
each of the twenty trading days prior to April 1, 2001 (the "April Average") is

calculation in the foregoing sentence, then Buyer shall notify Seller of the
shortfall and Seller shall promptly transfer to Buyer a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to such shortfall.

under, or give to others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, or result in the creation of a lien or other encumbrance on any

Subsidiary to own, lease and operate its properties or to produce, store,

is now being conducted, except such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the "Seller Permits"), and, as of the date of this Agreement,
none of the Seller Permits has been suspended or cancelled nor is any such
suspension or cancellation pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened.
Except as such would not have Material Adverse Effect, neither Seller nor

6.2. Consents; Failure to Obtain Consents. Seller will, upon
request of Buyer, use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain any consents
required in connection with the transactions contemplated that have not been

Seller 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 Business Information,
Seller will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer
may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions
of this Section. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a
waiver hereunder, Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any
Confidential Business Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for
contempt, Seller may disclose the Confidential Business Information to the
tribunal; provided, however, that Seller shall use its commercially reasonable
best efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of Buyer, an order or other

name "Intrepa, L.L.C." or any other name that is, in the Buyer's reasonable
judgment substantially similar thereto.
6.10. Exclusivity. Seller shall not (i) solicit, initiate, or
encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to

participate in any negotiations or discussions regarding, furnish any
information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any
other manner any effort or attempt by any Person in favor of any such
acquisition. Seller will promptly notify Buyer if any Person makes any proposal,
offer, inquiry, or contact with respect to any of the foregoing.
6.11. Transfer Restrictions. (a) Until the applicable Termination
Date, as provided below, Seller will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge

swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether or not any such
aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock, or
publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or
disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other
arrangement, (collectively, the "Transfer Restrictions") without, in each case,
the prior written consent of Buyer.
-23-

expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including, without
limitation, attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses) actually suffered or
incurred by them (including, without limitation, any action brought or otherwise
initiated by any of them) (hereinafter a "Loss"), arising out of or resulting
from (a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller contained
in the Acquisition Documents (so long as the particular representation or
warranty survives the Closing and Buyer makes a written specific claim for
indemnification, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the Claim), and
(b) any liability of Seller other than the Assumed Obligations. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no liability to indemnify or

the Indemnifying
-27-

of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a
reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of
indemnification is claimed or arises. The obligations and liabilities under this
Article VIII with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which
are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII
("Third-Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent upon the following
additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of
any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party
prompt notice of such Third-Party Claim (not later than within 20 days of the

failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any
of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent the Indemnifying
Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to
any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Article VIII. The Indemnifying
Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party
Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party at its expense and through counsel of
its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party
within ten days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a
conflict of interest that would make it in appropriate in the judgment of the
Indemnified Party, in its reasonable discretion, for the same counsel to
represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each
jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at
the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event Indemnifying Party exercises
the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third-Party Claim on
behalf of Seller as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with
the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying
Party, at its own expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and

Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying
Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly,
conducting the defense against any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make
available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all
such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party's
possession or under Seller's control relating thereto as is reasonably required
by the Indemnified Party. No Third Party Claim may be settled without the prior
written consent of both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.
