ARTICLE VIII INDEMNIFICATION

8.01 Indemnification by the Purchaser

Subject to Section 5.03, the Purchaser will indemnify and save the Shareholder and the Company harmless for and from:

(a) any loss, damages or deficiencies suffered by the Shareholder or the Company as a result of any breach of representation, warranty or covenant on the part of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or document delivered pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement; and

(b) all claims, demands, costs and expenses, including legal fees, in respect of the foregoing.

8.02 Indemnification by the Company

Subject to Section 5.03, the Company and the Shareholder will indemnify and save the Purchaser harmless for and from:

(a) any loss, damages or deficiencies suffered by the Purchaser as a result of any breach of representation, warranty or covenant on the part of the Company or the Shareholder


31

contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or document delivered pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement; and

(b) all claims, demands, costs and expenses, including legal fees, in respect of the foregoing.

8.03 Notice of Claim

A party entitled to and seeking indemnification pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the "Indemnified Party") will promptly give written notice to the party or parties, as applicable, responsible for indemnifying the Indemnified Party (the "Indemnifying Party") of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 (a "Claim", which term will include more than one Claim). Such notice will specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a person against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim") or whether the Claim does not so arise (a "Direct Claim"), and will also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):

(a) the factual basis for the Claim; and

(b) the amount of the Claim, or, if any amount is not then determinable, an approximate and reasonable estimate of the likely amount of the Claim.

8.04 Procedure for Indemnification

(a) Direct Claims. With respect to Direct Claims, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have 30 days to make such investigation of the Claim as the Indemnifying Party considers necessary or desirable, acting reasonably. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party will make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of such 30 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party will immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Claim.

(b) Third Party Claims. With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have the right, at its own expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party's commercially reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of such participation or assumption. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, will have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim at its own expense and will have the right to disagree on reasonable grounds with the selection and retention of counsel, in which case counsel satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will be retained by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend any such Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to assume such control and the Indemnifying Party will be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

8.05 General Indemnification Rules

The obligations of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of Claims will also be subject to the following:


32

(a) without limiting the generality of Sections 8.01 and 8.02, any Claim for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant will be subject to Section 5.03;

(b) the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party will only apply to the extent that the Claims in respect of which the Indemnifying Party has given an indemnity, in the aggregate, exceed $5,000;

(c) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of the Shareholder to any and all Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII will be limited to the amount paid to such Indemnifying Party in respect of its Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.01; for greater certainty, the Shareholder will not be liable, in the aggregate, to any and all Indemnified Parties for any amount in excess of the market value of the Payment Shares as of the date hereof;

(d) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of the Company, the Shareholder or the Purchaser to any and all Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII will be limited to the market value of the Payment Shares issuable under this Agreement;

(e) if any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by applicable law to make a payment to any person (a “Third Party”) with respect to such Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and thereafter seek reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party for any such payment. If any Indemnifying Party pays, or reimburses an Indemnified Party in respect of any Third Party Claim before completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, and the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference to the Indemnifying Party;

(f) whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld);

(g) the Indemnified Party will not permit any right of appeal in respect of any Third Party Claim to terminate without giving the Indemnifying Party notice and an opportunity to contest such Third Party Claim;

(h) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will cooperate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims and will keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available); and

(i) the provisions of this Article VIII will constitute the sole remedy available to a party against another party with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by such other party in this Agreement.
