11.1 The Issuer and its affiliated companies, as the case may be, (collectively, the “ Indemnitor ”) hereby agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Agent, its affiliates and Selling Group members and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees, partners, agents, advisors and shareholders (collectively, the “ Indemnified Parties ” and individually, an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against any and all expenses, losses, fees, claims, actions (including shareholder actions, derivative actions or otherwise), damages, obligations or liabilities or expenses of whatsoever nature or kind (excluding loss of profits) whether joint or several, including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims, provided that the Indemnitor has agreed to such settlement, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and taxes of their counsel that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any claims, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims that may be made or threatened against any Indemnified Party or in enforcing this indemnity (each a “ Claim ” and, collectively, the “ Claims ”) to which an Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law, or otherwise insofar as the Claims relate to, are caused by, result from, arise out of or are based upon, directly or indirectly, the performance of professional services rendered to the Indemnitor by the Indemnified Parties or otherwise in connection with the matters referred to in this Agreement whether performed before or after the execution of this Agreement, and to reimburse each Indemnified Party forthwith, upon demand, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any Claim.

11.2 If and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final non-appealable judgement in a proceeding in which an Indemnified Party is named as a party, determines that an Indemnified Party has been grossly negligent, committed wilful misconduct or a fraudulent act and that a Claim was directly caused by or resulted from an Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraudulent act, this indemnity shall cease to apply to such Indemnified Party in respect of such Claim and such Indemnified Party shall reimburse any funds advanced by the Issuer to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this indemnity in respect of such Claim.

11.3 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall apply to all expenses (including legal expenses), losses, claims and liabilities that the Agent may incur as a result of any action or litigation that may be threatened or brought against the Agent in respect of the performance of professional services rendered to the Indemnitor by the Indemnified Parties or otherwise in connection with the matters referred to in this Agreement.

11.4 If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) to the Indemnified Parties (or any of them) or insufficient to hold them harmless, the Indemnitor will contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnitor on the one hand and the Indemnified Parties on the other, but also the relative fault of the parties and other equitable considerations which may be relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor will in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Parties as a result of such Claims any amount in excess of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Parties hereunder.

11.5 The Indemnitor agrees that if any Claim is brought against the Indemnitor or an Indemnified Party or the Indemnitor or an Indemnified Party has received notice of the commencement of any investigation by any governmental commission, regulatory authority, stock exchange or other entity having regulatory authority, either domestic or foreign, or the Indemnitor or an Indemnified Party is required to testify in connection therewith or will be required to respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with, or by reason of the performance of professional services rendered to the Indemnitor by the Agent, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith provided the Indemnified Party acts reasonably in selecting such counsel, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel as well as the reasonable costs, including an amount to reimburse the Indemnified Parties for time spent by the Agent and its personnel hereunder in connection therewith, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection therewith will be paid by the Indemnitor as they occur.

11.6 Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any Claim against any Indemnified Party 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 the Indemnitor, the Agent will notify the Indemnitor in writing of the commencement thereof and, throughout the course thereof, will provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnitor, will keep the Indemnitor advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnitor all significant actions proposed. However, the failure by the Agent to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations to indemnify any Indemnified Party. The Indemnitor shall, on behalf of 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 acting reasonably, that no settlement of any such legal proceeding may be made by the Indemnitor without the prior written consent of applicable Indemnified Parties, and none of the Indemnified Parties 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. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to appoint its or their own separate counsel at the Indemnitor’s cost provided that the Indemnified Party acts reasonably in selecting such counsel.
