Section 7.02. Indemnification by the Company. Following the First Closing, the Company shall indemnify and defend each of Blockchain Alliance and its Representatives (each a “Blockchain Alliance Indemnified Party”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by, or imposed upon, the Blockchain Alliance Indemnified Parties arising out of or resulting from:

(b) any material violation or material nonperformance of any covenant or agreement of the Company under this Agreement.

Section 7.03. Indemnification by Blockchain Alliance. Following the First Closing, Blockchain Alliance shall indemnify and defend the Company and its Representatives (each a “Company Indemnified Party”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by, or imposed upon, the Company Indemnified Parties arising out of or resulting from:

Section 7.04. Limits on Indemnification. The indemnification provided for in ‎Section 7.02 and ‎Section 7.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Company shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02 unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses under Section 7.02 exceeds US$1 million, in which event the Company shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.

To the extent required by applicable Law and reasonably practicable, each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses for which the Indemnified Party makes claims under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require an Indemnified Party to maintain any insurance policies, commence any proceedings against a third party, or obtain any insurance proceeds from other sources of indemnification available to such party in respect of the Losses.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Company and Blockchain Alliance shall negotiate together in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of both the Company and Blockchain Alliance as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
