7.1 Effectiveness; Survival.

 

(a) The Investor has the right to fully rely upon all representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, for which the Company shall be held responsible (the “Indemnitor”), contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement and in the schedules attached hereto. The representations and warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Investor.

 

(b) The representations and warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing the 12 months anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

7.2 Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnifiable Losses. The Indemnitor shall indemnify the Investor (including their respective shareholders, limited and general partners directors and officers) (each, an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from all claims, actions, suits, settlements, damages, expenses (including, reasonable legal costs and expenses), losses, or costs sustained or incurred by such Indemnitees (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from, or arising out of, a breach or misrepresentations of any the Indemnitor’s representations, warranties or covenants made in this Agreement, subject to the limitations in this Section 7.

 

(b) Limitations. The Indemnitee’s right for indemnification hereunder is subject to the following conditions and limitations, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but in addition to any other limitation or condition contained herein; provided, however, no limitation shall apply to fraud:

 

(i) Other than in respect of the representations made in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6, the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any Loss, unless and until the aggregate of Losses equal or exceeds US$100,000, in which case indemnification shall be made from the first dollar;

 

(ii) The Indemnitor’s liability shall be limited to the Investor’s Purchase Price; and

 

(iii) in no event, shall the Company be liable for consequential, special, indirect, exemplary or punitive damages.

 

(c) Claims Notice; Third Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnitee wishes to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder it shall give the Indemnitor a prompt written notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances upon which the asserted claim for indemnification is based and thereafter keep the Indemnitor informed, in all material respects, with respect thereto. In the event that such Claims Notice results from a third party claim against the Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly upon becoming aware of the commencement of proceedings by such third party provide the Indemnitor with the Claims Notice and the Indemnitor shall have the right to assume the defense thereof (at Indemnitor’s expense) with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that the Indemnitees shall have the right to retain their own counsel, at the reasonable expense of the Indemnitor, and within the indemnification limitations herein, if representation of all parties by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the parties in such proceeding. Failure of the Indemnitees to give prompt notice or to keep it informed, as provided herein, shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitor shall not be liable nor shall it be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnitees in connection with any settlement effected without its consent in writing, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

12

 

(d) Sole Remedy. The indemnification provided by the Indemnitor hereunder and the enforcement of such indemnification shall be the exclusive remedy available to the Indemnitees under this Agreement, other than with respect to Fraud; provided that this provision does not limit the right to seek specific performance, a restraining order or injunctive or other equitable relief with respect to any provision of this Agreement.

 

(e) Insurance Reimbursement. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Section 7 shall be reduced by: (a) the insurance proceeds actually received with respect to any such Losses and (b) any other amount, if any, actually recovered from third parties (as a result of indemnification, contribution, guarantee or otherwise) by the Indemnitee (or its affiliates) with respect to any Losses less, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b), all reasonable costs (including attorneys’ fees) of the Indemnitee to collect such proceeds (each source named in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 7(e), a “Collateral Source”); provided that such Indemnitee shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Section 7 in respect of such Losses. If an Indemnitee has received the payment required under this Section 7 from the Company in respect of any Losses and later receives proceeds from a Collateral Source in respect of the same Losses, then such Indemnitee shall pay to the Company within 30 days after receipt, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount previously received by the Indemnitee under this Section 7 with respect to such Loss, plus the amount of proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee from such Collateral Source (less all collection costs), over (ii) the amount of Losses with respect to such claim which the Indemnitee is entitled to receive under this Section 7.

 

(f) No Multiple Recoveries. No Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company more than once for any particular Loss, nor shall the Company be liable or otherwise obligated to indemnify any or all Indemnitees for the same Loss more than once (i.e., no double counting).

 

(g) Changes in Law. Other than for Claims arising out of fraud, the Company shall not have any liability for changes (included retroactive changes) in law, tax or regulatory regime following the Closing.

 

7.3 Limited Recourse and Non – Petition. Notwithstanding what has been set in this Agreement, the obligations of the Investor under this Agreement are limited recourse obligations of Series 24 pursuant to its series memorandum. If the moneys made available to the Series 24 are not sufficient to cover any of the Investor´s obligations in respect of this Agreement, the other assets of the Investor, its directors, officers or shareholder(s) will not be available for payment of any shortfall arising therefrom and the Company (including any of its Shareholders) shall have no further claims against the Investor (its directors, shareholders and officers) in respect of such unpaid amounts and will accordingly not be able to petition for the winding-up of, or the appointment of an examiner to, the Investor, as a consequence of such shortfall.
