any
breach or non-performance by the Seller of any covenant to be performed by

|
Notice of
Claim
|
In the
event that a party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall
become aware of any claim, proceeding or other matter (a “Claim”) in respect of which
the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) has
agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, the
Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying
Party. Such notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result
of a claim by a person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether
the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also
specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is
available), the factual basis for the Claim and the amount of the Claim, if
known. If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnifying Party does not receive notice of any Claim in time effectively to
contest the determination of any liability susceptible of being contested, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to set off against the amount claimed by
the Indemnified Party the amount of any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying
Party resulting from the Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice on a
timely basis.
10.4
|
Direct
Claims
|
With
respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified
Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) Business Days
to make such investigation of the Claim as is considered necessary or
desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified
Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon
by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with all such other
information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both
parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period (or any
mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such
Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the
full agreed upon amount of the Claim. If the parties are unable to
resolve the dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within thirty
(30) Business Days of such written request (or a mutually agreed upon extension
thereof), the dispute shall, at the request of either party, be referred to
binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Schedule
10.4.
- 20
-
10.5
|
Third Party
Claims
|
With
respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right,
at its expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation,
settlement or defence of the Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Party
shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party's
out-of-pocket expenses as a result of such participation or
assumption. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control,
the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation,
settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on
its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be
paid by the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party consents to the
retention of such counsel or unless the named parties to any action or
proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the
representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing
interests between them (such as the availability of different
defences). If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such
control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable
time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by
the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party
Claim.
10.6
|
Settlement of Third
Party Claims
|
If the
Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defence of any Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest, settle
or pay the amount claimed provided the Indemnified Party has given the
Indemnifying Party at least five business days prior written notice of any
proposed settlement, compromise or payment and afforded the Indemnifying Party
an opportunity to consult with the Indemnified Party regarding the proposed
settlement, compromise or payment. Whether or not the Indemnifying
Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third
Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim
without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the liability of the
Indemnifying Party shall be limited to the proposed settlement amount if any
such consent is not obtained for any reason.
10.7
|
Dollar
Limitations
|
No
Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under the indemnification provisions
of this Section 10 unless and until the gross aggregate amount of Claims brought
by the Indemnified Party exceeds $40,000. The aggregate amount of all
Claims for which an Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay pursuant to
this Section 10 shall be limited to the amount of $4,000,000.
10.8
|
No Right of
Set-Off
|
The
Purchaser shall have no right under any circumstances to offset or deduct, in
whole or in part, the amount of any Losses or any settlement, compromise or
payment resulting from one or more Claims giving rise to a claim for
indemnification against any amounts owed by the Purchaser to the Seller pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Agreements.
10.9
|
Co-operation
|
The
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall co-operate fully with each
other with respect to Third Party Claims, and shall keep each other fully
advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant
documentation promptly as it becomes available).
