If a claim for indemnification hereunder is to be made by any party entitled to be indemnified hereunder, such party shall provide prompt written notice to Sun Power of the commencement of such action or assertion of such claim, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect any obligation of Sun Power to indemnify such party, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that Sun Power is materially prejudiced in its defense. Sun Power will not, however, be responsible for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses which are determined to have resulted from Consultants' negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Sun Power also agrees that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability to Sun Power for or in connection with such engagement except for any such liability for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by Sun Power that is determined to have resulted from the Consultants' bad faith or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall be in addition to any rights that any of the Indemnified Parties may have at common law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any rights to contribution.

8.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the sole and entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the entire subject matter of this Agreement, and any and all prior discussions, negotiations, commitments and understandings, related to the subject matter of this Agreement are hereby merged herein.
8.3 Waiver and Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless in writing signed by all the parties to this Agreement, and waiver of any one provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision.

8.6 Captions. The various captions of this Agreement are for reference only and shall not be considered or referred to in resolving questions of interpretation of this Agreement.

The prevailing party is the party who is entitled to recover the costs of its action or proceeding, whether or not such action or proceeding proceeds to final judgment. A party not entitled to recover its costs of suit may not recover attorneys' fees. No sum for attorneys' fees shall be counted in calculating the amount of a judgment for purposes of determining whether a party is entitled to recover its costs or attorneys' fees.
8.9 Judicial Interpretation. Should any provision of this Agreement or any of the Warrants require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof or thereof shall be more strictly construed against any person by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the person who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement and the Warrants.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
