|
|
10.3.1.
|
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, its affiliates, each of Investor's officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (i) any breach or default in the performance by the Company of any covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement and/or the Warrant; (ii) any breach of warranty or representation made by the Company in this Agreement and/or the Warrant; and (iii) any and all third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing (the "Indemnifiable Losses").
|
|
10.3.2.
|
If a claim by a third party is made or a third party notifies an intention to make a claim, and the Investor intends to claim indemnification under this Section, the Investor shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any claim (including reasonable details of the matter relating to such claim) in respect of which the Investor or any of its subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees or shareholders intends to claim such indemnification and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense and/or settlement thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Investor (provided that the Investor may participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice at its own expense), except if, in the reasonable opinion of the Investor, there is any conflict of interest between the Investor and the Company. The indemnity undertakings in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Indemnifiable Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor and the Company. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if adversely prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Company of any liability to the Investor under this Section If the Company fails to provide defense of the claim, and to diligently defend or settle the same, the Investor may defend or settle the claim without prejudice to its rights to indemnification hereunder. The Investor, its employees and agents, shall cooperate fully with the Company and its legal representatives (including taking any action the Company requires to defend or resist the claim) and provide full information in the investigation of any Indemnifiable Losses covered by this indemnification.

|
|
(a)
|
the amounts payable by the Company shall be limited to the consideration payable hereunder for the Purchased Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares (to the extent the Warrant is exercised); and
|
|
(b)
|
no claim or claims shall be brought later than thirty-six months from the Closing Date, or in the event of Indemnifiable Losses based on claims of breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12 (Intellectual Property), except for claims of breach of the representations and warranties in sub-section 3.12.8 (with respect to which no limit applies, as set forth above), forty-eight months from the Closing Date, unless a notice of the same claim has been given during the indemnification period; and
|
|
(c)
|
no claim or claims shall be brought unless the aggregate amount of such claims exceeds US$5,000 in which case the Investor shall be entitled to seek compensation for all Indemnifiable Losses without regard to the limitation set forth in this Section 10.3.3(c).
|
|
10.3.4.
|
Subject to Section 10.4 below, except with respect to claims based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation or intentional concealment, the indemnification provided in this Section (subject to the terms and limitations set forth herein) shall be the sole, final, exhaustive and exclusive remedy of the Investor from the Company in respect of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking of the Company under this Agreement.

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ANY DECREASE IN THE VALUE OF THE PURCHASED SHARES AND/OR THE WARRANT SHARES SHALL NOT BE DEEMED AN INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE.
