• Indemnification and Remedies 10.1. The Shareholders and the holders of Vested Options (“Indemnifying Parties”) agree severally and not jointly to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold the Purchaser, the Company and their Affiliates, together with the directors, employees and advisors of the foregoing (the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless against and in respect of any and all loss, liability, deficiency, damage, decrease in value (excluding reduction in Tax losses or loss of NOLs), any damages paid to third parties, cost, expense, fines, interest or actions in respect thereof (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) but excluding consequential (except that a claim by a third party shall not be deemed consequential), incidental, multiple of revenue or earnings (but not including loss of value), loss of profits, punitive or exemplary damages (all of the foregoing, “Damages”), as and when incurred, occasioned by: (i) any non-fulfillment, non-performance, violation or breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by the Company; or (ii) any inaccuracy, breach or falsity of any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 5 above or any certificate or other instrument furnished or to be furnished by the Company hereunder; (iii) any Claim by a third party (regardless of whether the claimant is ultimately successful) which, if true, would constitute any of the above; and (iv) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule, any Pre-Closing Taxes and (disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule) any breach or falsity contained in Sections 5.7, 6.8, 8.2.19, 8.11 or 8.12, any Tax liability of the Company in connection with any payment made or deemed made by the Company at or prior to the Closing in connection with the Transaction or any Tax liability in connection with any payment pursuant to this Agreement made without sufficient withholding under applicable law provided however, that the Shareholders shall not be jointly liable for a Claim in connection to Tax withholding against a breaching Shareholder for submission of incorrect or false information (in which case, such breaching Shareholder shall be severally liable as set forth in Section 10.2); (v) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), any Transaction Costs, (vi) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), any liability pursuant to indemnification undertakings granted by the Company to directors and/or officers thereof in connection with the period prior to the Closing Date; (vii) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), the matters set out in Schedule 10.1 attached hereto; (viii) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), any Claim by a Shareholder, or former shareholder (or holder of Company Options, including indemnity for Damages of such holder in respect of the rate of taxes paid by such holder in excess of the 102 benefit (25% plus excess tax, if applicable) in cases where the ITA disqualifies the grant under a trustee capital gains route, or any other equity securities) of the Company, or any other Person, seeking to assert, or based upon: (a) ownership or rights to ownership of any shares or other equity securities of the Company; (b) any rights of a Shareholder or other equity holder (other than the rights of the Shareholders to receive the payments set out in this Agreement, as and to the extent set forth herein), including any option, preemptive rights or rights to notice or to vote; (c) any Claim that his, her or its shares or other equity securities of the Company were wrongfully repurchased, cancelled, terminated or transferred by the Company or any Person; or (d) any Claim regarding any errors or failures in the allocation or calculation of the applicable Purchase Price payable to such Person or its pro rata share of the Escrow Amount, as set forth in the Waterfall (items (iv) to (viii), together the “Special Indemnities”). 10.2. In addition, each Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold the Indemnified Parties, harmless against and in respect of any Damages, as and when incurred, occasioned by: (i) any non-fulfillment, non-performance, violation or breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Shareholder; or (ii) any inaccuracy, breach or falsity of any of the representations and warranties of such Shareholder contained in Section 6 above or any certificate or other instrument furnished or to be furnished by such Shareholder hereunder; and (iii) any Claim by a third party (regardless of whether the claimant is ultimately successful) which, if true, would constitute the above. 10.3. Promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after (i) receipt by the Purchaser (or any of its directors, employees or advisors) of notice of the commencement of any Claim, proceeding, or investigation (“Third Party Claim”); or (ii) the Purchaser (or any of its directors, employees or advisors) becoming aware of any breach of this Agreement or falsity of representation or other event or circumstance, in each case, in respect of which indemnity may be sought as provided above, shall notify the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Party of the Claim, proceeding or investigation and, when known, the facts constituting the basis of such Claim, proceeding or investigation, in reasonable detail, provided that any failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period will not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any obligation or liability, except and only to the extent that the Shareholder Representative demonstrates that the Indemnifying Parties have been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period. In the event of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any Third Party Claim, the notice to the Shareholder Representative shall specify, if known, the amount of damages asserted by such third party. In the event of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom (a “Third Party Defense”). Upon the Purchaser’s assumption of the Third Party Defense (i) the Purchaser shall inform the Shareholder Representative of such Third Party Defense (as set forth herein); (ii) the Shareholder Representative may retain separate counsel, at the expense of the Shareholders; (iii) the Purchaser will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) the Purchaser shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently in consultation with the Shareholder Representative and provide copies of all correspondence and related documentation in connection with the Third Party Defense to the Indemnifying Party; and (v) the Indemnifying Party will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense to protect the interests of the Indemnified Party. If the Purchaser elects not to assume the Third Party Defense it shall notify the Shareholder Representative of its decision not to assume such defense, and the Shareholder Representative shall have the right to assume the Third Party Defense with counsel of its choice at the expense of the applicable Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in such Third Party Defense but the Shareholder Representative shall control the investigation and defense thereof in consultation with the Purchaser; provided, however, that any settlement or compromise by the Shareholder Representative shall be subject to the consent of the Purchaser not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Shareholder Representative shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently, and the Purchaser will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense. The Parties will in any event co-operate with each other in dealing with any Claim other than in the event of a conflict of interest, and, other than in the event of a conflict of interest, will allow their respective representatives and advisers reasonable access to all books and records which might be useful for such purpose during normal business hours and at the place where they are normally kept, with full right to make copies thereof or take extracts therefrom. Such books and records shall be subject to a duty of confidentiality except for disclosure necessary for resolving such Claim or otherwise required by applicable law. The Indemnifying Party shall not be authorized to settle or compromise any Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 10.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 10.3), following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will have the right, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, to conduct and control, through counsel of the Purchaser’s choosing, the defense of any Tax Contest; provided, however, that to the extent that any Tax Contest could reasonably give rise to an indemnification claim by the Purchaser under this Section 10, the Purchaser will (i) provide notice of such Tax Contest to the Shareholder Representative within thirty (30) days after receiving the first written notice of the commencement of such Tax Contest or from the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that any failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period will not relieve the Shareholders of any obligation or liability, except to the extent that the Shareholders have been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period, (ii) provide to the Shareholder Representative all information reasonably requested by the Shareholder Representative regarding such Tax Contest, (iii) permit the Shareholder Representative to evaluate and comment on such Tax Contest, and (iv) reasonably and in good faith consider any such comments of the Shareholder Representative. The Purchaser may settle, adjust, or compromise any Tax Contest, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, without the consent of the Shareholder Representative. However, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative – which consent (i) will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned and (ii) will be deemed to have been given unless the Shareholder Representative objects in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request for such consent from the Purchaser – no settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any Tax Contest will be determinative of the existence of a claim for indemnification under this Section 10 or the amount of indemnifiable amounts relating to such claim. In the event that the Shareholder Representative consents in writing to (or is deemed to have consented to) any settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any Tax Contest, neither the Shareholder Representative nor any Shareholder will have any power or authority to object under any provision of this Section 10 to the amount of any claim by the Purchaser for indemnification under this Section 10 with respect to such settlement, adjustment, or compromise. 10.5. Other than with respect to a specific Shareholder for such Shareholder’s Shareholder Fraud Event, the remedies provided in this Section 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser, or any of their Affiliates for any Claims or Damages resulting from the Transaction, except that each Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enjoin the breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Agreement and the specific performance by the other of its obligations hereunder. 10.6. The representation and warranties of the Company and the Shareholders (read together with the disclosure schedules) and the rights of the Purchaser (and its directors, employees and advisors) to indemnification under this Section 10 shall not be affected by any examination made for or on behalf of the Purchaser or the knowledge of any of the Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees or agents. It is understood and agreed that if the Company suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation (read together with the disclosure schedules) herein, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Purchaser as an Indemnified Party but without double counting and without providing for diminution in value) the Purchaser shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the shares of the Company, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

• Rights and Remedies Except as expressly provided in this agreement, the rights and remedies provided under this agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.

• Other Rights and Remedies Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, Lender shall have and may exercise any or all other rights and remedies it may have available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

• Termination and Remedies (a) In the event that the Purchaser defaults or fails to perform any of the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase Agreement, or assigns this Agreement without the Vendor’s consent, the Purchaser’s Deposit (including any portion of the Deposit bonded by the Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement) shall immediately be forfeited to the Vendor. Such forfeiture shall not be deemed to be liquidated damages, and shall not preclude further claims by the Vendor against the Purchaser for any and all remedies available at law and at equity, including but not limited to damages arising from the Purchaser’s breach and/or specific performance. (b) In the event that the Purchaser defaults or fails to perform any of the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase Agreement and the Purchaser’s Deposit (including any portion of the Deposit bonded by the Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement) is forfeited to the Vendor, the Vendor’s damages arising from the Purchaser’s breach shall be deemed to be at least equal to the forfeited Deposit without restricting the right of the Vendor to xxx for additional damages and/or specific performance. (c) In the event that the Purchaser defaults or fails to perform any of the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase Agreement and the Vendor takes steps to enforce the terms and conditions of this Purchase Agreement, or commences or defends any action for the judicial interpretation, enforcement, termination, cancellation or rescission hereof or for damages for the breach hereof, the Vendor, in the event it is successful in such action, shall be entitled to solicitor and client costs on a full indemnity basis. (d) In the event that the Vendor, in its sole discretion, determines that the Purchaser is behaving in an unreasonable, disruptive or unruly manner either by action or inaction, or that the Vendor cannot meet the expectations of the Purchaser, the Vendor may unilaterally terminate this Purchase Agreement. In the event that the Vendor is unable to perform the scope of work as specified in this Purchase Agreement for reasons beyond the control of the Vendor, the Vendor may terminate this Purchase Agreement. Upon termination of this Purchase Agreement pursuant to this subclause, the Vendor will return all Deposits to the Purchaser, without interest, after deducting any reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the Vendor prior to cancellation, including, but not limited to, taxes, utilities, interest and other carrying costs. (e) In the event that the Vendor defaults or fails to perform any of the terms and conditions contained in this Purchase Agreement, then the Deposit paid by the Purchaser under the terms of this Purchase Agreement, together with any accrued interest thereon, will be paid by the Vendor to the Purchaser and the Purchaser will have no further claim against the Vendor.

• Cumulative Rights and Remedies The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and all other rights and remedies available to either Party at law or in equity are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy now or hereafter available at law or in equity. Neither asserting a right nor employing a remedy shall preclude the concurrent assertion of any other right or employment of any other remedy, nor shall the failure to assert any right or remedy constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.

• Banks Rights and Remedies 8.1 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement, Bank may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrower: a. Declare Borrower's Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, installment notes, demand notes or otherwise, immediately due and payable to the Bank;

• Waivers, Rights and Remedies Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right or remedy relating to this Agreement shall affect or operate as a waiver or variation of that right or remedy or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time. No single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise of it or the exercise of any other remedy.

• Default Rights and Remedies If an Event of Default exists, the Agent shall have the following rights and remedies: (a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Agent in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or by applicable law, the Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent may (A) without demand or notice to it, collect, receive or take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof and for that purpose the Agent may enter upon any premises on which the Collateral is located and remove the Collateral therefrom or render it inoperable, and/or (B) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at the Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable or otherwise as may be permitted by law. The Agent shall have the right at any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale or sales, to bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) and become a purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof free of any right or equity of redemption on the part of the Debtor, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by the Debtor. Upon the request of the Agent, the Debtor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at anyplace designated by the Agent that is reasonably convenient to it and the Agent. The Debtor agrees that the Agent shall not be obligated to give more than ten (10) days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such matters. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of Collateral may have been given. The Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. The Debtor shall be liable for all reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or the like, and all reasonable attorneys' fees, legal expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the collection of the Obligations and the enforcement of the Agent's rights under this Agreement. The Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral applied to the Obligations are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full to the extent provided in the Loan Documents. The Agent may apply the Collateral against the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement. The Debtor waives all rights of marshalling, valuation and appraisal in respect of the Collateral. Any cash held by the Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Agent, be held by the Agent as collateral for, and then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Agent against, the Obligations in the order permitted by the Credit Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds and interest accrued thereon, if any, held by the Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to the Debtor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus; provided that the Agent shall have no obligation to invest or otherwise pay interest on any amounts held by it in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement. (b) The Agent may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of the Agent or the name or names of the Agent's nominee or nominees. (c) The Agent may exercise any and all of the rights and remedies of the Debtor under or in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all rights of it to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, any of the Collateral. (d) The Agent may collect or receive all money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so. (e) On any sale of the Collateral, the Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction with which compliance is necessary, in the view of the Agent's counsel, in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable Governmental Authority.
