The Independent Accountants shall only decide the Disputed Amounts and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Net Cash Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.

2.5.5          Seller shall pay a portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants equal to such fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants that are resolved in favor of Purchaser (that being the difference between the Independent Accountants’ determination and Seller’s determination) and the denominator of which is the total amount of Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accountants (that being the sum total by which Purchaser’s determination and Seller’s determination differ from the determination of the Independent Accountants). Purchaser shall pay that portion of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants that Seller is not required to pay hereunder.

Aktiebolagslag (2005:552)) shall occur from the Group Companies.

ARTICLE 9                INDEMNIFICATION

9.1.1          Subject to Section 9.1.3 and the other Sections of this Article 9, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser in respect of, and hold it harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by Purchaser or any Group Company, or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of warranty contained in Article 3 hereof or non-fulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant on the part of Seller contained in this Agreement.

9.1.2          Subject to the other Sections of this Article 9, Purchaser shall indemnify Seller in respect of, and hold it harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by Seller or to which Seller becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any document delivered hereunder.

9.1.3          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no amounts of indemnity shall be payable as a result of any claim in respect of a Loss arising under Section 9.1.1:

(i)                       unless, with respect to any claim (including claims relating to substantially the same factual circumstances), such claim involves Losses in excess of twenty thousand Dollars (USD 20,000);

(ii)                    unless and until Purchaser or a Group Company, as the case may be, have suffered, incurred, sustained or become subject to Losses referred to in such paragraph in excess of one hundred thousand Dollars (USD 100,000) in the aggregate, in which case such Losses shall be redeemed in full;

28

(iii)                 if Purchaser and the Group Companies have received payments in respect of claims made under such paragraph of an amount equal to 20% of the Final Purchase Price in the aggregate; and

(iv)                to the extent it arises from or was caused by actions taken or failed to be taken by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates after the Closing;

provided that the limitations contained in clauses (i) – (iii) shall not apply to Losses arising from breach of the Fundamental Warranties or the agreements and covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement, recovery for which in all cases in the aggregate shall be limited to an amount equivalent to the Final Purchase Price.

9.1.4          It is specifically agreed that the Swedish Sale of Goods Act (Sw: köplagen (1990:931)) or any other similar laws or legal principles shall not apply to this Agreement, and thus no Party shall have the right to rescind this Agreement.

9.1.5          The limitations on indemnification contained in this Section 9.1 shall not apply in the case of fraud or gross negligence.

9.2                                      Specific Indemnification

Seller shall further indemnify Purchaser in respect of, and hold it harmless from and against, any and all costs and expenses (including interest, court costs, reasonable fees of attorneys, accountants and other experts or other reasonable expenses of litigation or other proceedings or of any claim, default or assessment) suffered, incurred or sustained by Purchaser or any Group Company, or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to:

(a)       Taxes relating to the activities of the Company’s former branch office in Finland prior to the Closing; and

(b)       the Seller’s loss of, and inability to deliver to Purchaser at Closing, the share certificates issued by the Company.

9.3                                      Method of Asserting Claims

All claims for indemnification by Purchaser under Section 9.1 will be asserted and resolved as follows:

9.3.1          In the event any claim or demand in respect of which a Party might seek indemnity under Section 9.1 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such indemnified Party other than a claim brought by Party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice, containing a copy of all papers served, if available, and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third Party Claim and for indemnified Party’s claim against indemnifying Party under Section 9.1, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably determinable, the estimated amount, of the Loss arising from such Third Party Claim with reasonable promptness to indemnifying Party (such notice, a “Claim Notice”). If indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the indemnified Party or its affiliates, as the case may be, with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure of indemnified Party. Provided that the indemnifying Party has accepted full liability in respect of the part(s) of a Third Party Claim that relate(s) to a potential breach by the indemnifying Party of a warranty under this Agreement, the indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages as to which the indemnified Party will be indemnified in full). In the event that the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, it shall have the right, subject to the previous sentence, to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the indemnified Party. The indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof; provided, however, that the indemnifying Party will pay the costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (x) in the indemnified Party’s good faith judgment, it is advisable, based on advice of counsel, for the indemnified party to be represented by separate counsel because a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party or (y) the named parties to such Third Party Claim include both the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party and the indemnified Party determines in good faith, based on advice of counsel, that defenses are available to it that are unavailable to the indemnifying Party. If the indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the indemnified Party may, 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. If requested by the indemnifying Party, the indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the indemnifying Party, cooperate with the indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim that the indemnifying Party elects to contest, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates).

29

9.3.2          If the indemnifying Party does not take control of the Third Party Claim, the indemnified Party shall have full control of the defense of Third Party Claims, and if requested by indemnified Party, indemnifying Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which indemnified Party is contesting; provided that indemnifying Party and its counsel (at indemnifying Party’s sole expense) may participate in (but not control the conduct of) the defense of such Third Party Claim; and provided further, that, except with the reasonable consent of indemnifying Party, no settlement of any such Third Party Claim shall be conclusively determinative of indemnifying Party’s liability with respect to the claim relating thereto. In the event that indemnifying Party has consented in writing to any settlement of a Third Party Claim, indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute its liability to indemnified Party with respect to the amount thereof (to the extent not in excess of the limitations set forth in Section 9.1.3, if applicable).

30

9.3.3           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3.2, if indemnifying Party has notified indemnified Party, within thirty (30) days from indemnifying Party receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, that indemnifying Party disputes its liability to indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, and if such dispute is resolved in favor of indemnifying Party, indemnifying Party shall not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the defense of the Third Party Claim, and indemnified Party shall reimburse indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation.

9.3.4                                 During any prosecution by indemnified Party of the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.3, indemnified Party shall:

(a)        keep indemnifying Party informed of material developments which could affect the amount of the claim and provide such information to indemnifying Party as indemnifying Party may reasonably request; and

(b)       make no admission of liability (and procure that no Group Company makes such admission), and the Third Party Claim shall not be disposed of or settled without the prior consent of indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

9.3.5           In the event Purchaser should have a claim under Section 9.1 against Seller that does not involve a Third Party Claim, Purchaser shall deliver a written notice, specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably determinable, the estimated amount, of the Loss arising from such claim, with reasonable promptness to Seller (such notice, an “Indemnity Notice”). The failure by Purchaser to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair Purchaser’s rights hereunder except to the extent that Seller has been actually prejudiced by such failure of Purchaser. If Seller notifies Purchaser that it does not dispute the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify Purchaser within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Indemnity Notice whether Seller disputes the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the Loss arising from the claim specified in such Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of Seller, and Seller shall pay the amount of such Loss to Purchaser on demand following the final determination thereof. If Seller has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, Seller and Purchaser shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Purchaser of Seller’s notice, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 13.5.

31

9.4                                        Survival; Reliance

9.4.1          The warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing:

(a)        for the statute of limitations with respect to (i) the Fundamental Warranties other than the warranties set forth in Section 3.2.14, and (ii) the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 7.3 (Confidentiality) 7.4 (Further Assurances) and 13.2 (Expenses);

(b)       until six (6) months from the date the relevant Tax has been finally and irrevocable determined by the relevant Tax authority or court, as the case may be, with respect to breaches of the warranties set forth in Section 3.2.14 and the covenants set forth in Article 10; and

(c)        until the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date in the case of all other representations and warranties and any covenant or agreement to be performed in whole or in part on or prior to the Closing; and

(d)       with respect to each other covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, until sixty (60) days following the last date on which such covenant or agreement is to be performed as specified herein or, of no such date is specified, for the statute of limitations; provided that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that would otherwise terminate in accordance with clause (b), (c) or (d) will continue to survive if a Claim Notice or Indemnity Notice (as applicable) shall have been timely given under Article 9 on or prior to such termination date, until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in Article 9, with the limitations set out in Section 9.4.2.

9.4.2          Any claim (excluding Third Party Claims) which may be made, which has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn, shall be deemed to have been withdrawn twelve (12) months subsequent to when the claim was made, unless legal proceedings in respect thereof by then have been commenced. Any indemnification claim which may be made for a Loss relating to a Third Party Claim, which has not been previously satisfied, settled or withdrawn, shall be deemed to have been withdrawn twelve (12) months subsequent to when such Third Party Claim was finally resolved and thus the amount of the actual Loss relating thereto became known, unless the Purchaser has initiated an indemnification claim against the Seller by then.

9.4.3          Notwithstanding any right of Purchaser (whether or not exercised) to investigate the affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries or any right of any Party (whether or not exercised) to investigate the accuracy of the warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser have the right to rely fully upon the warranties, covenants and agreements of the other contained in this Agreement.

32

9.5                                        Characterization of Indemnification Payments

Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties shall treat any indemnification payment made hereunder as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

9.6                                        Exclusive Remedy; Other Limitations

9.6.1           This Article 9 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties following the Closing for any losses arising out of any breach of the warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement, except for fraud or willful breach by Seller.

9.6.2           Payments by an indemnifying Party pursuant to Article 9 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the indemnified Party in respect of any such claim. The indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

9.6.3           Payments by an indemnifying Party pursuant to Article 9 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit realized in the same financial year as a result of such Loss by the indemnified Party.

9.6.4           Each indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.
