9. INDEMNITY AND SET-OFF

9.1 General Indemnification by Vendors: The Vendors hereby indemnify and save harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, tax assessments, charges, claims, increases in insurance premiums not in the ordinary course of business, and expenses of any kind whatsoever including, without limitation, the costs of defending, cross-claiming or claiming against third parties in respect of any action, claim or matter, including solicitor’s fees, costs and disbursements at all court and administrative levels, on a solicitor and his own client basis, which at any time or from time to time may be paid, incurred or asserted against the Purchaser, as a result of any breach of representation, warranty or


28

covenant herein contained or in any document or agreement contemplated hereby. The obligations of the Vendors set forth in this Section 9.1 will be subject to and limited by the following provisions:

  (a)

No Claim will be made following the expiry of the time period set forth in Section 6.1 hereof;

     
  (b)

The cumulative amount of all Claims which can be made against any Vendor hereunder will not exceed the amount of the Purchase Price actually paid by the Purchaser to that Vendor; and

     
  (c)

The Purchaser will give written notice to each of the Vendors stating specifically the basis for the Claim, the amount thereof, and will tender defence thereof to the Vendors as provided in Section 9.3 below.

9.2 General Indemnification by Purchaser: The Purchaser hereby indemnifies and saves harmless the Vendors against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation, the cost of defending, cross-claiming, or claiming against third parties in respect of any action, claim, or matter, including legal fees, costs, and disbursements at all court and administrative levels, on a solicitor and his own client basis, which at the time or from time to time may be paid, incurred, or asserted against either of the Vendors as a result of any breach of representation, warranty or covenant herein contained or in any document or agreement contemplated hereby. The Vendors will give written notice to the Purchaser stating specifically the basis for the Claim, the amount thereof, and will tender defence thereof to the Purchaser as provided in Section 9.3 below.

9.3 Tender of Defenses: Promptly upon receipt by any party of a notice of a Claim by a third-party which may give rise to a Claim under this Section 9.3 the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice thereof to the party obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”). If the Indemnifying Party gives to the “Indemnified Party” an agreement in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party’s counsel, to defend such Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, at its sole expense, undertake the defense against such claim and may contest or settle such claim on such terms, at such time and in such manner as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, will elect and the Indemnified Party will execute such documents and take such steps as may be reasonably necessary in the opinion of its counsel to enable it to conduct the defense of such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails or refuses to defend any claim hereunder, the Indemnifying Party may nevertheless, at its own expense, participate in the defense of such Claim by the Indemnified Party in any and all settlement negotiations relating thereto. In any and all events, the Indemnifying Party will have such access to the records and files of the Business relating to any Claim as may be reasonably necessary to effectively defend or participate in the defense thereof.

9.4 Right to Set-Off: The Purchaser shall have the right to set-off any liquidated amount which has been, or which may be, determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due and payable by the Vendors to the Purchaser against any money due and payable to the Vendors from the Purchaser under this or any other agreement between the Purchaser and the Vendors. For greater certainty, the Purchaser’s right set forth in this Section 9.4 may be exercised prior a court


29

of competent jurisdiction making a determination as to such liquidated amount which may be due and payable by the Vendors. Unless otherwise agreed, the Purchaser shall deposit any amounts set-off hereunder in escrow pending a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the withheld amount was properly set-off by the Purchaser. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Purchaser improperly set-off any amount payable to the Vendors hereunder, then that amount shall be paid forthwith to the Vendors together with interest at the rate of 21% per annum from the date on which said amount should properly have been paid to the Vendors up to and including the date on which the payment is made as aforesaid.

9.5 Specific Indemnities: In addition to the provisions of section 9.1 hereof, the Vendors hereby agree to the following specific indemnities in favour of the Purchaser:

Upon delivery to the Purchaser of reasonably satisfactory evidence that the matter to which the Arbitration Agreement relates has been settled or determined, the Purchaser shall forthwith release from escrow and pay to the Vendors such Holdback Amount, together with accrued interest thereon.

       
  (c)

The Purchaser shall not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay any amount in connection with the matters to which this section 9.5 relates, except with the prior consent of the Vendors.
