(iii) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (a) the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the acknowledgment referred to in Section 7.2(ii)(a) within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the Claim pursuant to Section 7.2(i), (b) the Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (c) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Claim would be detrimental to the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (d) the Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or (e) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend vigorously the Claim.

(v) In circumstances where the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of a Claim in accordance with Sections 7.2(ii) and 7.2(iii) above, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that in such event the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (a) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of the Claim, (b) if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict or potential conflict of interest, or (c) if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party one or more defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party.

shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief.
7.3 Indemnity Gross-up. Any indemnification payment made by the Indemnifying Party to an Investor under this Agreement shall be grossed up to take into account the amount of such payment that would be indirectly borne by the Investor or its Affiliates by reason of its holding or ownership of shares or other equity interest in the Company. The amount of any such payment borne by an Investor shall be a percentage of such payment equal to the percentage of the Investor’s shares or other equity interest relative to the total outstanding share capital of the Company.
7.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article 7 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Damages referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the Claims which resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any Claim in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Damages referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
8. MISCELLANEOUS

arbitrator (who shall be the chairperson of the arbitration panel) within thirty (30) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by ICC. If, however, the aggregate award sought by the Parties is less than US$5,000,000 and equitable relief is not sought, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator agreed by the Parties (or appointed by ICC if the Parties cannot agree). The seat of arbitration shall be New York City, New York and the language of the proceedings shall be English.
(iii) The Parties agree that any award or decision made by the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon them and may be enforced in the same manner as a judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(iv) By agreeing to arbitration, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue, at the request of a Party, a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order to avoid irreparable harm, maintain the status quo, preserve the subject matter of the dispute, or aid the arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional or interim remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a competent court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional or interim remedies and to award damages for the failure of any party to the dispute to respect the arbitral tribunal’s order to that effect.
(v) EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING HEREUNDER.
(vi) Each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the administrator and the arbitrator; provided, however, the arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for any or all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), or the fees and costs of the administrator and the arbitrator.
