Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures. The Party making a claim under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a)

Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement (a “Third Party”) or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party 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 Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defences by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, include copies of all material written evidence thereof and indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defence of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defence; provided that, (a) if the Indemnifying Party is Vendor, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defence of any such Third-Party Claim that: (i) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Target Entities; or (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; and (b) if the Indemnifying Party is Purchaser, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defence of any such Third-Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defence of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counter-claims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defence of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defence thereof and the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided that, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defences available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement or fails to diligently prosecute the defence of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Vendors and the Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defence of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.05) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defence of such Third-Party Claim.

- 70 -

(b)

Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 20 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume the defence of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defence under Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c)

Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (each, a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days 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 Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defences by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 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 information and assistance (including access to the Target Entities’ premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

- 71 -

Section 8.06 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable under this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication. Any indemnification to which Purchaser as Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be effected by set-off against amounts owing from Purchaser to the Vendors, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Vendors to Purchaser to the account or accounts designated by Purchaser, at Purchaser’s discretion. Any indemnification of any Indemnified Party that is a Vendor shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Purchaser to such Vendor to the account or accounts designated by such Vendor. The Parties agree that, if the Indemnifying Party does not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15-Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 5%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

Section 8.09 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to ARTICLE IX and ARTICLE X and Section 12.11 and Section 12.12, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the Transactions) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be under the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, subject to this ARTICLE VIII and ARTICLE IX, ARTICLE X, Section 12.01, Section 12.11, Section 12.12, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s fraudulent, criminal or willful misconduct.
