EXHIBIT A

INDEMNIFICATION .

(a)

Recognizing that transactions of this type sometimes result in litigation and that GVC Capital's role is limited to acting as the Company’s financial advisor, the Company agrees to indemnify GVC Capital and its affiliates (and the directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons of GVC Capital and its affiliates)(each, an "Indemnified Person") to the full extent lawful, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, joint or several to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under applicable federal or state law, or otherwise ("Damages"), related to or arising out of the Financing Transaction, the engagement of GVC Capital pursuant to this Agreement, the performance by GVC Capital of the services contemplated by this Agreement, or any failure to consummate the Financing Transaction.  “Damages” shall also include, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of such Indemnified Person's counsel and such Indemnified Person's reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the investigation of or preparation for any pending or threatened litigation, action, claim, or proceeding (an “Action”) arising therefrom.  The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Person for all Damages as they are incurred, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party and whether or not any action or proceeding actually is commenced.  The Company will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provisions to the extent that any Damages are found in any final judgment by a court to have resulted from the wrongful or grossly negligent acts (“Wrongful Acts”) of the Indemnified Person.

(b)

GVC Capital agrees to indemnify the Company and its affiliates (and the directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons of the Company and its affiliates) to the full extent lawful against any and all Damages as incurred arising out of Wrongful Acts of GVC Capital in connection with its performance under this Agreement.

(c)

Each indemnifying party further agrees that it will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not an Indemnified Person is a party therein) unless the indemnifying party shall have given the Indemnified Person reasonable prior written notice thereof and used all reasonable efforts, after consultation with the Indemnified Person, to obtain an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising therefrom.

(d)

If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Person, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the parties, but also the relative fault of the parties, as well as any relevant equitable considerations.  In no event will the aggregate amount the Indemnified Persons are required to contribute exceed the amount of fees (excluding expense reimbursement) actually paid to GVC Capital.  The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the parties under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the parties may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, GVC Capital, and any other Indemnified Person.  

(e)

The provisions of this Exhibit shall apply to the engagement (including related activities before the date hereof) and any modification thereof and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of the completion or termination of the engagement.

---

(f)

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under subparagraphs (a) or (b) above of written notice of the commencement of any Action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of that Action; the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the indemnifying party did not otherwise have knowledge of the commencement of the Action and the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against the Action was prejudiced by such failure.  If any such Action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, unless the Indemnified Person reasonably believes that the indemnifying party’s interest in the Action is adverse to that of the Indemnified Person.  After notice from the indemnifying party to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, and the cost of any attorney for the Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person’s interests in the Action.
