9. Indemnity

9.1 Heliostar hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, each of the Agents, their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, and shareholders (collectively, the “ Indemnified Parties ” and individually, an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against any and all expenses, losses (other than loss of profits), fees, claims, actions (including shareholder actions, derivative actions or otherwise), damages, obligations, or liabilities, whether joint or several, and the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel, that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any actual or threatened claims, actions, suits, investigations or proceedings to which an Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law, or otherwise insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, upon the performance of professional services rendered to Heliostar by the Indemnified Party hereunder, or otherwise in connection with the matters referred to in this Agreement (including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any such actions, suits, investigations, proceedings or claims that may be made against the Indemnified Parties) provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement that has become non-appealable shall determine that:

-27-

(a) the Indemnified Party has been grossly negligent or has committed any fraudulent act in the course of such performance; or

(b) the expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as to which indemnification is claimed, were directly caused by the actions referred to in 9.1(a).

9.2 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall apply to all expenses (including legal expenses), losses, claims and liabilities that the Indemnified Parties may incur as a result of any action or litigation that may be threatened or brought against the Indemnified Parties.

9.3 If for any reason (other than the occurrence of any of the events itemized in 9.1(a) and (b) above), the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to or insufficient to hold the Indemnified Parties, then Heliostar shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by Heliostar on the one hand and the Indemnified Parties on the other hand but also the relative fault of Heliostar and the Indemnified Parties, as well as any relevant equitable considerations; provided that Heliostar shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability and any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees received by the Agents hereunder pursuant to this Agreement.

9.5 Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any legal proceeding against the Indemnified Parties or after receipt of notice of the commencement or any investigation, which is based, directly or indirectly, upon any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought from Heliostar, the Agents will notify Heliostar in writing of the commencement thereof and, throughout the course thereof, will provide copies of all relevant documentation to Heliostar, will keep Heliostar advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with Heliostar all significant actions proposed. However, the failure by the Agents to notify Heliostar will not relieve Heliostar of its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Parties.

9.6 Heliostar shall on behalf of itself and the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, be entitled to (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such legal proceeding; provided, however, that the defence shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, acting reasonably, that no settlement of any such legal proceeding may be made by Heliostar without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, acting reasonably, as applicable, and none of the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall be liable for any settlement of any such legal proceeding unless it has consented in writing to such settlement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Parties shall have the right to appoint their or their own separate counsel at Heliostar’s cost provided the Indemnified Parties act reasonably in selecting such counsel.

-28-

9.7 The indemnity and contribution obligations of Heliostar shall be in addition to any liability which Heliostar may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of Heliostar, and any Indemnified Party.
