(b) With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the control and defence, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choosing, of such Third Party Claim and any Third Party Claims related to the same or a substantially similar set of facts; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the control and defence of such Third Party Claim, and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if such Third Party Claim is a criminal Proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party so undertakes to control and defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully, and to the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defence against, and settlement of, any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless such settlement does not involve any non-monetary relief against or any finding or admission of any violation of Applicable Law or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, and any money damages are borne solely by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party compromises or settles any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, it shall be deemed as an acceptance by the Indemnifying Party of its liability for the Indemnifiable Losses arising from the relevant Third Party Claim.

If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the control and defence of a Third Party Claim, it shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in the defence of such Proceeding at its own cost and expense.
9.4 Payments.
(a) Once an Indemnifiable Loss is finally determined in accordance with Section 9.3 above, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within thirty (30) Business Days of such final determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such thirty (30) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of final determination of the Indemnifiable Loss to (but excluding) the date such payment has been made at a rate equal to 0.1% per day.
(b) In the event of any failure by the Indemnifying Party to make payment pursuant to Section 9.4(a) above, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to deduct any Indemnifiable Losses payable to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9 from any amount payable by it to the Indemnifying Party, whether under this Agreement or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 9.4(b) shall prejudice, limit or otherwise affect:
(i) any right or remedy the Indemnified Party may have against the Indemnifying Party from time to time, whether arising under this Agreement or other Transaction Documents or at law; and
(ii) the Indemnified Party’s right to recover any Indemnifiable Loss as finally determined in accordance with Section 9.3 above against the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover more than once in respect of the same Indemnifiable Loss.
13
9.5 Additional Indemnification Provisions.
(a) The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of any Indemnifying Party, and an Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in this Agreement.
9.6 Not Exclusive Remedy. This Section 9 shall not be deemed to preclude or otherwise limit in any way the exercise of any other rights or pursuit of other remedies for the breach of this Agreement or with respect to any fraudulent misrepresentation or fraud.

The Company does not use any real property in the conduct of its business except insofar as it has secured a Lease with respect thereto. The Leased Property is in good condition and repair in all material aspects. No default or event of default on the part of the Company or event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, would constitute a default or event of default has occurred and is continuing unremedied or unwaived under the terms of any of the Leases. There exists no pending or threatened condemnation, confiscation, dispute, claim, demand or similar proceeding with respect to, or which could materially and adversely affect, the continued use and enjoyment of the Leased Property.
(c) The leasehold interests currently held by the Company pursuant to the Leases are adequate for the conduct of the Business as currently conducted in all material respects.
