and remedies available to the Investor at law or in equity (subject to the
limitations contained in Section 6(c)), Supercom shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Investor and its affiliates, stockholders, officers,
directors, employees, agents, representatives and permitted assigns from and
against any loss, liability, demand, claim, action, cause of action, cost,
damage, deficiency, penalty, fine or expense, including interest, penalties,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and all reasonable amounts paid in
investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (collectively,
"Losses") which any such party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a
result of:
(i) any misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty
(when viewed individually or in the aggregate) on the part of Supercom under
Article 2; or
(ii) without duplication, any misrepresentation in or omission from
any of the representations or warranties contained in any of the certificates or
other documents furnished to the Investor by Supercom.
(b) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE INVESTOR. In addition to all other
rights and remedies available to Supercom at law or in equity, the Investor
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Supercom and its affiliates,
stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and
permitted assigns from and against any Losses which any such party may suffer,
sustain or become subject to, as a result of:
(i) any misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty
(when viewed individually or in the aggregate) on the part of the Investor under
Article 3; or
5
(ii) without duplication, any misrepresentation in or omission from
any of the representations or warranties contained in any of the certificates or
other documents furnished to Supercom by the Investor.
(c) LIMITATIONS. No claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Article 6 shall be made, other than pursuant to Section 2.5, unless the
aggregate Losses incurred by the party to be indemnified (the "Indemnified
Party") exceed $25,000, at which time all Losses (without regard to materiality
qualifiers) shall be subject to indemnification under this Article 6.
(d) OTHER LIMITATION. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to
the following sentence, upon judicial determination, which is final and no
longer appealable, that the act or omission giving rise to the indemnification
hereinabove provided resulted primarily out of or was based primarily upon the
Indemnified Party's gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct (unless such
action was based upon the Indemnified Party's reliance in good faith upon any of
the representations, warranties, covenants or promises made by the party
required to provide indemnification under paragraphs (a) or (b) above (the
"Indemnifying Party") by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not
be responsible for any Losses sought to be indemnified in connection therewith,
and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnified
Party all amounts previously paid in full or partial satisfaction of such
indemnity, together with all costs and expenses of the Indemnifying Party
reasonably incurred in effecting such recovery, if any. The indemnity,
contribution and expense reimbursement obligations that the Indemnifying Party
has under this Section 6.1 shall be in addition to any liability that the
Indemnifying Party may otherwise have. The Indemnifying Party further agrees
that the indemnification and reimbursement commitments set forth in this
Agreement shall apply whether or not the Indemnified Party is a formal party to
any such lawsuits, claims or other proceedings.
(e) PAYMENT OF CLAIMS. Any indemnification of any Indemnified Party
by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be effected by wire
transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnifying Party to an
account designated by the Indemnified Party within 15 days after the
determination thereof.
6.2 RIGHT TO DEFEND; COMPROMISE OF CLAIMS; CONTRIBUTION. Each
Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or defend, at its own
expense and by its own counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party, any matter involving the asserted liability of any Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that no compromise of any claim shall be made without the
consent of the Indemnified Party unless such compromise results in the full and
unconditional release of all claims against the Indemnified Party by the party
asserting such claim. The opportunity to compromise or defend as herein provided
shall be a condition precedent to any liability of an Indemnifying Party under
the provisions of this Section 6.2. If any Indemnifying Party shall undertake to
compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall promptly notify the
Indemnified Party and any other Indemnifying Party of its intention to do so. An
Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel at
the Indemnifying Party's expense in the defense against any such asserted
liability and in any compromise thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but not
be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records or
information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and taking such
action as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request to
6
mitigate or reduce any claim. After an Indemnifying Party has notified an
Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to compromise or defend any
asserted liability, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party unless the
Indemnifying Party fails to prosecute the defense of such claim. If the
Indemnifying Party shall desire to compromise any such asserted liability by the
payment of a liquidated amount which the party asserting such liability is
willing to accept in exchange for fully and unconditionally releasing all claims
against the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall refuse to consent
to such compromise, then the Indemnifying Party's liability under this Article 6
with respect to such asserted liability shall be limited to the amount so
offered in compromise. Under no circumstances shall the Indemnified Party
compromise any asserted liability without the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit any right
of contribution Supercom may have against the Company under applicable law.
6.3 REMEDIES. The Parties shall each have and retain all other rights
and remedies existing in their favor at law or equity, including, without
limitation, any actions for specific performance and/or injunctive or other
equitable relief (including, without limitation, the remedy of rescission) to
enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 7. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES. The warranties, representations and
covenants of Supercom and the Investor contained in or made pursuant to this
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Closing and shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject
matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Investor or the Company.
7.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in
this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other
than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights,
remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
7.3 TITLES AND SUBTITLES. The titles and subtitles used in this
Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in

hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if delivered to
such party personally or sent to such party by recognized overnight courier or
by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), with postage and
registration or certification fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the party at
the address indicated for such party on the signature page hereof, or to such
other address or person as any party may have specified in a notice duly given
to the other party as provided herein. Such notice, request, demand, waiver,
consent, approval or other communication shall be deemed to have been given as

7.5 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Any term of this Agreement may be amended
and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally
or in a particular
7
instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written
consent of Supercom and the Investor.
7.6 SEVERABILITY. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held
to be invalid -and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full
force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order
to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible
and (ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in any
jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction.
7.7 INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS AND REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All
covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a certain
action or condition constitutes a default under a certain covenant, the fact
that such action or condition is permitted by another covenant shall not affect
the occurrence of such default, unless expressly permitted under an exception to
such initial covenant. In addition, all representations and warranties hereunder
shall be given independent effect so that if a particular representation or
warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another
representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is
correct or is not breached will not affect the incorrectness of or a breach of a
representation and warranty hereunder.
7.8 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties agree, from time to time and
without further consideration, to execute and deliver such further documents and
take such further actions as reasonably may be required to implement and
effectuate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
7.9 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the substantive domestic laws of the State of New York, without
application of the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
7.10 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
7.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other documents referred
to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any
other party in any manner by any warranties, representations, or covenants
except as specifically set forth herein or therein.
