The filing of a lawsuit within such survival period is not required.

5.4 Survival of the Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser.

5.5 Indemnification; Limitations on Liability.

(1)	Indemnification by HondaSub. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 and the other provisions of this Section 5.5, HondaSub shall indemnify and save harmless the Purchaser from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by it, as a result of or arising out of or in connection with:

	(a)	any inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made or given by HondaSub in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document; and

	(a)	any inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made or given by HondaSub or Honda in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document;

	(b)	any failure by HondaSub to observe or perform any covenant or obligation contained in Section 2.1, 2.3, 3.2, 3.4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.4 or 7.1 of this Agreement to be observed or performed by HondaSub; and

	(b)	any failure by the Purchaser to observe or perform any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document to be observed or performed by it.

(4)	Threshold and Limitations.

	(a)	The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover for any Loss for or arising out of any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of HondaSub or Honda in this Agreement or any Transaction Document (the “Purchaser Claims”) unless, and only to the extent that, the aggregate Purchaser Claims exceed US$100,000 (the “Threshold”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall be entitled to recover for any Purchaser Claim based upon a Claim of fraud, willful concealment or willful misleading or any breach of the Specified Representations and Warranties, without regard to the Threshold.

	(b)	Except for Purchaser Claims based upon a Claim of fraud, willful concealment or willful misleading or any breach of the Specified Representations and Warranties or a breach of Section 6.2(1), the total liability of HondaSub and Honda collectively under this Agreement and all Transaction Documents shall not exceed: (a) the amount of US$3,000,000 in the aggregate for Purchaser Claims for which the Purchaser has given written notice to HondaSub within a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date; and (b) the amount of US$1,000,000 in the aggregate for Purchaser Claims for which the Purchaser has given written notice to HondaSub after such six-month period (subject to Section 5.3), provided that for greater certainty in no event shall the total liability of HondaSub and Honda collectively under this Agreement and all Transaction Documents (other than for Purchaser Claims based upon a Claim of fraud, willful concealment or willful misleading or any breach of the Specified Representations and Warranties) exceed US$3,000,000 in the aggregate. In no event shall the total liability of HondaSub and Honda collectively for all Purchaser Claims under this Agreement and all Transaction Documents exceed in the aggregate the aggregate of the cash amount paid by the Purchaser under this Agreement and the FM APA.

(5)	Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights of indemnity as set forth in this Article 5 are the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party in respect of any inaccuracy, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or breach of covenant by another Party in this Agreement or any Transaction Document. This Section 5.5 shall remain in full force and effect in all circumstances and shall not be terminated by any breach (fundamental, negligent or otherwise) by any Party of its representations,

-28-

warranties or covenants hereunder or under any documents delivered pursuant hereto or by any termination or rescission of this Agreement by any Party hereof.

5.6 Indemnification Procedures.

(1)	Notice of Claim.

	(a)	In the event that a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall become aware of any Claim in respect of which another Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 5, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof; provided, however, that, subject to Section 5.6(1)(b) below, the failure to give such prompt notice shall not prevent any Indemnified Party from being indemnified hereunder for any Losses. 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.

	(b)	If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not receive notice of any Claim in time to contest effectively 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.

(2)	Direct Claim. With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 45 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 45-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, failing which the matter shall be referred to binding arbitration in such manner as the Parties may agree or shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(3)	Third Party Claims.

	(a)	The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim and if the Indemnifying Party assumes control, it shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of the Indemnified Party's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses prior to the time the Indemnifying Party assumed control. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to

-29-

	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 named parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences).

	(b)	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 and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim.

	(c)	If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by Applicable Law to incur Losses or make a payment to any person (a “Third Party”) with respect to the Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may, acting reasonably, incur such Losses or make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for such payment. If the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under such Third Party Claim, as finally determined, is less than the amount that was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after the receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference, together with any interest thereon paid by the Third Party to the Indemnified Party, to the Indemnifying Party. In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall post all security required by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction that is necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to contest any Third Party Claim.

	(d)	If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defence of any Third Party Claim or defaults in respect of any of its obligations under this Section 5.7(3) with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest the amount claimed and may, acting reasonably, settle and pay the same on 14 days' prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall, thereupon, be deemed to have agreed that such settlement is reasonable and may be agreed to by the Indemnified Party and all other persons liable in respect of the Third Party Claim unless within such 14-day period the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it is assuming or reassuming control of such defence and thereafter assumes or reassumes such control and does not default.

(4)	Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.6, a notice of a Direct Claim or a Third Party Claim in respect of a Loss relating to Taxes must be delivered to the Indemnifying Party no later than the earlier of: (i) 30 days prior to the expiry of the period during which the Indemnified Party may object to or appeal the assessment giving rise to the relevant Tax liability; and (ii) the expiry of the period during which the

-30-

	Indemnified Party may respond to audit proposals prior to the issuance of a reassessment that will give rise to the relevant Tax liability.

5.7	Payment of Indemnification Claims.

	(a)	If any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement, such indemnification payment will be made in accordance with Section 1.7(b) upon demand.

	(b)	Any payment made by HondaSub or Honda pursuant to this Article 5 will be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE 6
COVENANTS

6.1 Transfer of Documentation.

(1)	On the Closing Date, HondaSub shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, the Books and Records to the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall preserve all such documents delivered to it in accordance with the Purchaser's document retention procedures, or such longer period as is required by Applicable Law, and shall permit HondaSub or its authorized Representatives reasonable access thereto while those documents are in the possession or control of the Purchaser solely to the extent that such access is required by HondaSub to perform its obligations under this Agreement or under Applicable Law, but the Purchaser shall not be responsible or liable to HondaSub for, or as a result of any loss or destruction of or damage to, any such documents and other data unless such destruction, loss or damage is caused by the Purchaser's negligence or willful misconduct. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with any access contemplated by this Section 6.1(1) shall be borne by Honda.

(2)	Notwithstanding Section 6.1(1), HondaSub and Honda shall be entitled to retain copies of any documents or other data delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1(1) provided that those documents or data are reasonably required by HondaSub to perform its obligations hereunder or under Applicable Law.

6.2 Covenant Not to Compete; Confidentiality.

(1)

Beginning on the date of the Closing and for the period of 48 months thereafter, each of HondaSub and Honda agrees that it will not, anywhere in the world, engage or participate in (whether as owner, operator, member, interest holder, trustee, manager, consultant, strategic partner or otherwise) the business of manufacturing, marketing, distributing or selling compressed natural gas refueling systems for motor vehicles in residential and commercial markets (a “Competing Business”). Honda will provide notice to its Affiliates of the covenant not to compete contained in the preceding sentence, and will request that such Affiliates act in accordance with the spirit of such covenant not to compete; provided, however, that the Purchaser acknowledges that neither HondaSub nor Honda has the authority to legally bind its respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.2, neither HondaSub nor Honda will be in breach of this

-31-

	Section 6.2(1) by reason (a) of its beneficial ownership, together with that of its Affiliates, of one percent or less of a Competing Business' voting capital if such Competing Business is publicly traded, (b) of its beneficial ownership, management or operation, together with that of its Affiliates, of the business of manufacturing, distributing or selling hydrogen or gasoline refueling systems, (c) that it, or any of its Affiliates, provides specifications other than specifications of natural gas Refueling Technology to any Competing Business, (d) that any of the motor vehicle dealers or distributors of Honda or its Affiliates distribute, sell, install or service natural gas refueling systems, which natural gas systems are acquired from a Person other than Honda, or (e) of the exercise of rights granted to Honda under the Technology Agreement or the MTM/Honda Greenfield Sublicense.

(2)	Each of Honda and HondaSub shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, keep confidential and not disclose to any other Person, including its Affiliates, or use for its benefit or for the benefit of any other Person, any information pertaining to FuelMaker or the HondaSub Purchased Assets except for information that:

	(a)	relates to the Technology Agreement or the MTM/Honda Greenfield Sublicense, but only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with the provisions of, such agreements;

	(b)	is or becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Agreement or of any Transaction Document delivered pursuant hereto;

	(c)	was developed by the party owing a duty of confidentiality hereunder (a “recipient”) independent of any disclosure by a party to whom such duty is owed (a “beneficiary”) or was available to the recipient on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the recipient by or on behalf of the beneficiary;

	(d)	becomes available to a recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a beneficiary, provided that the recipient shall have made reasonable inquiry to satisfy itself that the source was not, when it disclosed the information to the recipient, prohibited from so doing by a confidentiality obligation owed to a beneficiary, whether contractual, fiduciary or otherwise; or

	(e)	Honda or HondaSub is required to do so by Applicable Law or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Honda or HondaSub, as the case may be, and then only after the Purchaser shall have been given an opportunity, if so advised, to seek a protective order.

(3)	The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions contained in Sections 6.2(1) and (2) are a reasonable and necessary protection of the immediate interests of the Purchaser, and any violation of these restrictions would cause substantial injury to the Purchaser and that the Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without receiving the additional consideration offered by HondaSub and Honda in binding itself to these restrictions. In the event of a breach or a threatened

-32-

	breach by HondaSub or Honda of these restrictions, the Purchaser will be entitled to seek an injunction restraining HondaSub or Honda or their Affiliates, as applicable, from such breach or threatened breach (without the necessity of proving the inadequacy as a remedy of money damages or the posting of a bond); provided, however, that the right to seek injunctive relief will not be construed as prohibiting the Purchaser from pursuing any other available remedies, whether at law or in equity, for such breach or threatened breach.

6.3	Investigation. Before Closing, the Purchaser and its authorized Representatives shall, during normal business hours, be permitted reasonable access to (i) all documents relating to information scheduled or required to be disclosed under this Agreement, (ii) the Books and Records, and (iii) the Assumed Contracts, and HondaSub shall provide photocopies to the Purchaser of all such written information and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser.

6.4	Cooperation. Each Party hereto covenants during the Interim Period (and subject to the

other terms of this Agreement):

(1)	To cooperate with each other in determining whether filings are required to be made with or consents required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority in any jurisdiction in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and in making or causing to be made any such filings promptly and to obtain timely any such consents (each Party hereto shall furnish to the other Parties and to their respective counsel all such information as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the foregoing action).

(2)	To keep the other Parties informed of any significant communications received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, any Governmental Authority and to consult with the other Parties in advance of any meeting or conference with any Governmental Authority.

(3)	To use commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with the other Parties hereto, to obtain all consents required from third persons, whose consent or approval is required pursuant to any contract or otherwise to consummate the Transactions and to take all other steps necessary to complete the Transactions prior to the Closing Date.

(4)	Without limiting the specific obligations of any Party hereto under any covenant or agreement hereunder, to use commercially reasonable efforts to take all action and do all things necessary in order to promptly consummate the Transactions, including, satisfaction, but not waiver, of the Closing conditions set forth in Article 4.

ARTICLE 7

7.1 Public Announcements. No Party shall make any public statement or issue any press release concerning the Transactions except as agreed by HondaSub and the Purchaser acting reasonably or as may be necessary, in the opinion of counsel to the Party making that disclosure, to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law. If any public statement or release is so required, the Party making the disclosure shall consult with HondaSub and the Purchaser before

-33-

making that statement or release, and HondaSub and the Purchaser shall use all reasonable efforts, acting in good faith, to agree on a text for the statement or release that is satisfactory to them. Nothing herein contained, however, shall prevent a Party from complying with the requirements of any securities laws to which it is subject or the requirements of any stock exchange. Draft press releases are attached hereto as Schedule 7.1.

7.2 Expenses. Each of the Parties shall pay all expenses (including Taxes imposed on those expenses) it incurs in the authorization, negotiation, preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions, including all fees and expenses of its legal counsel.

7.3 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. In this Agreement, unless specified otherwise, an obligation of any Party to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Approval shall not require the Party to make any payment to any Person for the purpose of procuring the Approval, except for payments for amounts due and payable to that Person, payments for incidental expenses incurred by that Person and payments required by any Applicable Law or to commence any Claim.

No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right. No single or partial exercise of any such right shall preclude any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

7.9	Jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally:

	(a)	submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario; and

	(b)	WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR

-34-

CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE AND (II) AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
