provided that: (i) at any time Parent or its successor company is a “foreign issuer”, as defined in Rule 902(e) of Regulation S of the Securities Act, if such securities are being sold in accordance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S of the Securities Act, as referred to above, and in compliance with local laws and regulations, the legend may be removed by providing a declaration to the issuer’s transfer agent for such securities, in the form as may be prescribed by the Parent or its successor company from time to time, together with any other evidence, which may include an opinion of counsel of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Parent or its successor company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act, required by Parent or its successor company or such transfer agent; and (ii) if any such securities are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the legend may be removed by delivery to the registrar and transfer agent for such securities of an opinion of counsel of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Parent or its successor company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.

30
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (“TSX”); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRANSFERABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON THE TSX.”

Failure to give such notice shall not constitute a defense, in whole or in part, to any Claim by an indemnified party hereunder except and only to the extent that the indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. The indemnifying Party shall notify the indemnified party of its intentions as to defense of the Claim or potential Claim in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of the Claim.
10.2.2 With respect to any Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party shall assume exclusive control of the defense and settlement (including all decisions relating to litigation, defense and appeal) of any such Claim (so long as it has confirmed its indemnification obligation responsibility to such indemnified party under this Section 10.2.2 with respect to a given Claim); provided, however, that the indemnifying Party may not settle such Claim in any manner that would require payment by the indemnified party, or would materially adversely
57
affect the rights granted to the indemnified party hereunder, or would materially conflict with the terms of this Agreement (or an Other Agreement); provided, further, that if the indemnifying party is Seller, such indemnifying party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (i) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party with respect to the sale or marketing of the Product.
10.2.3 With respect to any Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Claim (including, without limitation, making documents and records available for review and copying and making Persons within its control available for pertinent testimony in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of Section 8.1, and neither Party shall be required to divulge privileged material to the other) at the indemnifying Party’s expense solely with respect to out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the indemnified party (but excluding internal costs and expenses, including employee time or other internal overhead costs). With respect to any Third Party Claim, if the indemnifying Party assumes defense of the Claim, an indemnified party may participate in, but not control, the defense of such Claim using attorneys of its choice and at its sole cost and expense, with such cost and expense not being covered by the indemnifying Party. With respect to any Third Party Claim, an indemnifying Party shall have no obligation or liability under this Article 10 as to any Claim for which settlement or compromise of such Claim or an offer of settlement or compromise of such Claim is made by an indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to any Third Party Claim, if an indemnifying Party notifies the indemnified party in writing that it will not defend the indemnified party against such a Claim asserted against the indemnified party, or if the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Claim in accordance with Section 10.2.2 yet fails to defend or take other reasonable, timely action, in response to such Claim asserted against the indemnified party, the indemnified party shall have the right to defend or take other reasonable action to defend its interests in such proceedings, and shall have the right to litigate, settle or otherwise dispose of any such Claim; provided, however, that no Party shall have the right to settle a Claim in a manner that would adversely affect the rights granted to the other Party hereunder, or would materially conflict with this Agreement, or would require a payment by the other Party.
10.3 Sole Remedy. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that its sole and exclusive remedy after the Closing with respect to any and all claims and causes of action under this Agreement (other than (a) rights, claims and causes of action under the Other Agreements and (b) claims of, or causes of action arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct, other tortious acts), shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 10. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action under this Agreement (other than (a) rights, claims and causes of action under the Other Agreements and (b) claims of, or causes of action arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct, other tortious acts), it may have against the other Party arising under or based upon any applicable Law or arising under or based upon common law or otherwise (except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 10.1.1 or 10.1.3, as applicable).
58
10.4 Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.1.1 AND SECTION 10.1.3 WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, BREACH OF SECTION 8.1 (CONFIDENTIALITY), FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY, ITS DIRECTORS, TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED UPON A CLAIM OR ACTION OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER TORT, A PRODUCT CLAIM, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
10.5 Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article X shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.
