representation or warranty, in any material respect, made by the Company in the
Transaction Documents, and (ii) any breach by the Company of any covenant,

Party in respect thereof.

of any assessment, loss, damage, liability, cost and expense (including, without
limitation, interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) imposed upon or

respect of any assessment, loss, damage, liability, cost and expense (including,
without limitation, interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) imposed

representation or warranty, in any material respect, made by Cubic in the
Transaction Documents, and (ii) any breach by Cubic of any covenant, obligation
or other agreement made by Cubic in the Transaction
Documents. Assertion by a Party of its rights to indemnification
under this Section 1 shall not preclude any other rights or remedies of the
Party in respect thereof.
(c) The Holders, severally and not
jointly, agree to indemnify the Company, and hold it harmless from and in
respect of any assessment, loss, damage, liability, cost and expense (including,
without limitation, interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) imposed
upon or incurred by the Company resulting from any breach of representation or
warranty, in any material respect, made by such Holder in the Transaction
Documents. Assertion by a Party of its rights to indemnification
under this Section 1 shall not preclude any other rights or remedies of the
Party in respect thereof.
(d) GRI
agrees to indemnify Cubic, and hold it harmless from and in respect of any
assessment, loss, damage, liability, cost and expense (including, without
limitation, interest, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) imposed upon or
incurred by Cubic resulting from (i) any breach of representation or warranty,
in any material respect, made by GRI in the Transaction Documents, and (ii) any

Transaction Documents. Assertion by a Party of its rights to
indemnification under this Section 1 shall not preclude any other rights or
remedies of the Party in respect thereof.
(e) If
any claim, action or proceeding is brought against a Party arising out of a
claim that is the subject of indemnification under the Transaction Documents
(“Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall provide the other party
(“Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice of the same, together with the
basis for seeking indemnification (the “Indemnification Notice”). Upon
receipt of an Indemnification Notice by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying
Party shall inform the Indemnified Party (delivering the Indemnification
Notice), within 5 business days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice,
whether the Indemnifying Party elects to compromise or defend such claim, action
or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its
option, to compromise the claim, at its own expense. In the event the
Indemnifying Party elects to defend, the Indemnified Party shall have the right
to control the defense of any claim brought against him or her that is the
subject of this indemnification. All costs and expenses incurred,
including legal fees, in connection with the compromise or defense of any claim
in which the breach by an Indemnifying Party was the cause of the loss shall be
paid by the Indemnifying Party.
