3.3 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration of any shares of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3.1, the
5
Company will, and hereby does agree to, indemnify and hold harmless AT and each of its employees, consultants, agents, attorneys, accountants and each Person that controls (within the meaning of Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of the foregoing Persons (each a “AT Indemnified Party”) against any claim, demand, action, liability, damages, loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by such AT Indemnified Party in investigating or defending any such proceeding) (all of the foregoing, including associated costs and expenses, being referred to herein as a “Proceeding”), arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse each such AT Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any Proceeding, provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Proceeding arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or through an instrument duly executed by a AT Indemnified Party specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any AT Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the registered shares by AT.
(b) Indemnification by AT. AT will, and hereby does agree to, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its employees, directors, officers, consultants, agents, attorneys, accountants and each Person that controls (within the meaning of Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of the foregoing Persons (each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any claim, demand, action, liability, damages, loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by such Company Indemnified Party in investigating or defending any such proceeding) (all of the foregoing, including associated costs and expenses, being referred to herein as a “Proceeding”), arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and AT will reimburse each such Company Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any Proceeding, provided that AT shall only be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Proceeding arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or through an instrument duly executed by a AT Indemnified Party specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
6
behalf of any Company Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the registered shares by AT.
(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof to the extent that the indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by an indemnifying party without the consent of such indemnifying party.
(d) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in Section 3.3(a) and Section 3.3(b) (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and AT with respect to any required registration or other qualification of Registrable Shares under any Federal or State law or regulation of any Governmental Entity, other than the Securities Act.
(e) Indemnifying Payments. The indemnification required by this Section 3.3 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or the expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
(f) Non-exclusive remedy. The obligations of any indemnifying party to indemnify any indemnified party under this Section 3.3 shall, in each case, be in addition to any liability which the indemnifying party may otherwise have hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity.
(g) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 3.3 from the applicable indemnifying party is applicable in accordance with its terms, but for any reason is held to be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any claim, demand, action, liability, damages, loss, cost or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to
7
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such claim, demand, action, liability, damages, loss, cost or expense in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative faults of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such claim, demand, action, liability, damages, loss, cost or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action 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 misstatement or omission, provided that the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party if indemnification would be unavailable to such indemnified party by reason of the provisions of Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b), and in no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying party to contribute under this Section 3.3(g) exceed the amount that such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b) had been available under the circumstances.
The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if a contribution pursuant to this Section 3.3(g) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of such claim, demand, action, liability, damages, loss, cost or expense referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence and Section 3.3(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
3.4 Suspension of Sales.
(a) The Company shall promptly notify AT (i) upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus or the Shelf Registration Statement includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any event specified in Section 3.4(b), (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or (iii) of any request by the Commission for (A) amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Shelf Registration Statement, (B) supplements to the Prospectus or (C) additional information. Immediately following any such event (I) upon the request of the Company, AT shall suspend the use of the Prospectus and shall not sell any Registrable Shares until AT has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or until it is advised by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and (II) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as practicable or in the case of a suspension of sales pursuant to Section 3.4(b), by the end of the Deferral Period, prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus or any document that would be incorporated by reference into the Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus so that
8
the Shelf Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and thereafter deliver to AT a reasonable number of copies of the supplement or amendment of such prospectus complying with the foregoing, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is reasonably practicable.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company will not be required to file any registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, file any amendment thereto, furnish any supplement to a prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i) or Section 3.2(a)(ii), make any other filing with the Commission, cause any registration statement or other filing with the Commission to become effective, or take any similar action, and any and all sales of Registrable Shares by AT pursuant to an effective registration statement shall be suspended, if such filing or similar action would require the disclosure of material non-public information which, in the good-faith judgment of the Company, the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; provided that the Company may not delay any such actions or suspend any such sales pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) in any instance for more than an aggregate of 60 days. Upon the occurrence of any condition described in the first sentence of this Section 3.4(b), the Company shall give prompt notice thereof to AT.
4. Miscellaneous.
(a) The parties may execute and deliver this Agreement as a single document or in any number of counterparts, manually, by facsimile or by other electronic means. Each counterpart shall be an original, but a single document or all counterparts together shall constitute one instrument that shall be the agreement.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 4(b) and except for the AT Indemnified Parties and the Company Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
(c) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws and not the laws pertaining to choice or conflicts of laws, of the State of Nevada of the United States of America. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located within the City of Las Vegas or County of Xxxxx, State of Nevada, and any court hearing appeal
9
therefrom, over all suits, actions, or legal proceedings arising out of, based upon, or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (each, a “Related Proceeding”). Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they now have or hereafter may have to any Related Proceeding in such courts, whether on the grounds of venue, residence, or domicile or on the ground that the Related Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Prior to Closing, AT shall irrevocably appoint an agent in the Isle of Man whose ordinary course of business includes the acceptance of service of process, for service in connection with any legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) Each party represents and acknowledges that, in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents required or contemplated hereby, it has been represented by and relied upon the advice of counsel of its choice, which has had a substantial role in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents. Therefore, each party agrees that no rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafter shall be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement and such other instruments and documents. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.
(e) AT and the Company stipulate that the remedies at law of the parties hereto in the event of any default or threatened default by either party in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Agreement are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise. The exercise of any remedy by AT or the Company shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude AT or the Company, respectively, from exercising any other remedies in the future.
(f) This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument signed by AT and the Company.
(g) All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given or made in accordance with the Exchange Agreement.
(h) Each of the parties will cooperate with the other and use its reasonable best efforts to prepare all necessary documentation, to effect all necessary filings with any regulatory, administrative or other governmental body, and to obtain each approval, consent, order, authorization, designation or declaration necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(i) For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires: (i) all section titles or captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (ii) all references to Sections are
10
to Sections of this Agreement; and (iii) references to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns and, in the case of an individual, to his or her heirs and estate, as applicable.
