Seller is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any tax return. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where Seller does not file tax returns that Seller is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no liens on any of the Purchased Assets or assets of Seller that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) to pay any tax.

(o) Investment. The Seller and the Stockholders understand that the Buyer Shares (the “Securities”) have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, or under any state securities laws, and are being offered and sold in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving any public offering. The Securities are being acquired by the Seller and, upon distribution by the Seller to the Stockholders, the Stockholders for their accounts, for investment purposes and not with a view to the sale or distribution of all or any part of the Securities, nor with any present intention to sell or in any way distribute the same, as those terms are used in the Securities Act. The Seller and the Stockholders have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of purchasing the Securities. The Seller and the Stockholders have reviewed copies of such documents and other information as the Seller and the Stockholders have deemed necessary in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities. The Seller and the Stockholders understand that the Securities may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Securities or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Securities must be held indefinitely. Further, the Seller and the Stockholders understand and have the financial capability of assuming the economic risk of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. The Seller and the Stockholders have been advised by the Buyer that neither the Seller nor the Stockholders will be able to dispose of the Securities, or any interest therein, without first complying with the relevant provisions of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The Seller and the Stockholders understand that the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, permitting the routine sales of the securities of certain issuers subject to the terms and conditions thereof, are not currently, and may not hereafter be, available with respect to the Securities. The Seller and the Stockholders acknowledge that the Buyer is under no obligation to register the Securities or to furnish any information or take any other action to assist the undersigned in complying with the terms and conditions of any exemption which might be available under the Securities Act or any state securities laws with respect to sales of the Securities in the future. Each of the Stockholders (i) is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in rule 501 (a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (ii) shall provide written confirmation of such accredited investor status and (iii) shall be an Accredited Investor at the time of any distribution by the Seller of Buyer Shares to any such Stockholders.

If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 4.4 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be required to comply with this Section 4.4 at any time that the Buyer is in material breach of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; provided that the Seller provides the Buyer with written notice of such material breach and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure such material breach.

(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 6, 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 by such delay.

(b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 20 days after the Indemnified Party has given written notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party (it being understood that any Third Party Claim involving a person or entity which is a customer or supplier of the Buyer following the Closing, will be deemed to involve the possibility of such a precedential custom or practice), and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

19

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.5(b) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (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), and (C) 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).

(d) In the event any of the conditions in Section 6.5(b) above is or becomes unsatisfied, 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 it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences 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 6.

(e) For purposes of this Section 6.5 and Section 6.6 below, if the Stockholders, collectively, comprise the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, then in each such case all references to such Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be (except for provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments), shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholders’ Representative acting on behalf of such Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as applicable.

6.6 Direct Claims. Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the material rights or defenses available to the Indemnifying Party related to the Direct Claim are forfeited or materially prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such reasonable information and assistance as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim.

20

6.7 Offset. Once a Loss (as hereinafter defined) is agreed to by the Seller and the Stockholders (the Seller and the Stockholders may be referred to collectively as the “Selling Parties” or each individually as a “Selling Party”) or finally (and non-appealably) adjudicated (the date on which such Loss is agreed to by the Selling Parties, finally determined to be payable, or finally (and non-appealably) adjudicated, as applicable, the “Loss Date”), the Selling Parties authorize the Buyer Indemnitees to offset and cancel the applicable portion (up to all of the Buyer Shares) of the Buyer Shares to recover for any such Loss, in each case, up to the amount of such Loss. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer is hereby authorized to cancel the Buyer Shares or dispose of the Buyer Shares to the extent necessary to satisfy any such Loss (for the avoidance of doubt, provided that such Loss has been agreed to by the Selling Parties or finally determined to be payable in accordance with Section 6.2), with the Buyer Shares being valued based upon the twenty-day volume weighted average price of HLCO common stock over the course of the twenty-day period immediately preceding and ending on the Loss Date. In each case, the exercise of such right to cancel or offset in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of any Buyer Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement with such Selling Parties or any of his, her or its affiliates. Each Selling Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer as his, her or its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent with full power of substitution to do any and all things and execute any and all documents, which may be necessary to effectuate any cancellation of the Buyer Shares or offset in accordance with this Section 6.7; provided, that Buyer shall exercise such power of attorney only in the event that Buyer has requested in writing that the applicable Selling Party take such action or provide his, her or its signature and such Selling Party has not provided such signature or taken such action within ten (10) business days after the date of such written request by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, once a Loss is agreed to by the Selling Parties or finally determined to be payable in accordance with Section 6.2, the Selling Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy any such obligation via a payment in cash in lieu of Buyer recovering pursuant to this Section 6.7. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the sole and exclusive remedy and source of recovery by Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee against the Seller and the Stockholders under this Agreement (other than with respect to claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of the Seller or the Stockholders party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) shall be the offset and reclamation of the Buyer Shares pursuant to this Section 6.7. Nothing in this Article VI shall limit any party’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any such party shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Losses” means losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, actions, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, interest, awards, taxes, penalties, fines, costs or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses and the cost of investigation and enforcement of any right to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, “Losses” shall not include any punitive or exemplary damages except to the extent such damages are awarded to (whether by judgment, arbitral decision, settlement or other similar decision or agreement) an unaffiliated third party against an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim.

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

8.9 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) By approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and by receiving the benefits hereof, including any consideration payable hereunder, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Stockholders’ Representative as such person’s representative and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such person as of the Closing with respect to this Agreement and each of the other documents contemplated hereby to which it is a party, and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices and communications; (ii) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement; (iii) make all elections or decisions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other documents contemplated hereby to which it is a party; (iv) engage, employ or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) to assist the Stockholders’ Representative in complying with its duties and obligations; and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Buyer and Seller shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of the Stockholders by the Stockholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of the Stockholders by the Stockholders’ Representative, as being fully binding upon the Stockholders. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholders’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from all of the Stockholders. Any decision or action by the Stockholders’ Representative hereunder, including any agreement between the Stockholders’ Representative, Buyer and/or Seller relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such person. No Stockholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 8.9, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any person or Stockholder, or by operation of law.

23

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative will incur no liability in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement and any related agreements except to the extent resulting from the Stockholders’ Representative’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Stockholders shall, severally and not jointly, based on the value of Buyer Shares received by each Stockholder compared to the value of Buyer Shares received by all Stockholders, indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative against any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket losses, liabilities and expenses (“Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any related agreements, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative will reimburse the Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Stockholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Stockholders; provided, that while the Stockholders’ Representative may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Stockholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Stockholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Stockholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Stockholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholders’ Representative hereunder. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Upon the Closing, the Stockholders will wire their pro rata portion (with the methodology used to determine each Stockholders pro rata portion to be mutually agreed upon by the Stockholders prior to Closing) of US$25,000 (the “Expense Fund”) to the Stockholders’ Representative, which will be used for any expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholders’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholders’ Representative’s responsibilities, the Stockholders’ Representative shall cause (at the Stockholders’ expense) the disbursement of any remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Stockholders based on such Stockholders’ pro rata portions, except in the case of payments to employees or former employees of the Company for which employment tax withholding is required, which such amounts shall be delivered to Buyer or the Seller and paid through Buyer’s or Seller’s payroll processing service or system. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Stockholders at the time of Closing. The parties agree that the Stockholders’ Representative is not responsible for any tax reporting or withholding in connection with the distribution of the Expense Fund.
