Section 3.20.                Full Disclosure. No representation or warranty by the Warrantors in this Agreement and no statement contained in the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to the Investors pursuant to the Transaction Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

The representations and warranties of the Warrantors and the Investors and their respective Affiliates contained in the Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements of the Warrantors and the Investors and their respective Affiliates contained in the Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing until fully performed or discharged.

Section 10.02. Indemnification by Warrantors. From and after the Closing, each of the Warrantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives, together with their successors and permitted assigns, from and against any and all Indemnifiable Loss actually suffered by such Persons resulting from, arising out of or relating to: (i) any breach of any representation, or warranty of the Warrantors contained in this Agreement, (ii) the nonperformance, partial or total, of any agreement or covenant of the Warrantors contained in this Agreement; and (iii) the lack of requisite permits and licenses as set forth in Section 8.06.

Section 10.03. Notice of Claims. Any party seeking indemnification under this Article 10 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall, notify the party from whom indemnification is being sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing within ten (10) days after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any Action against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Indemnifying Party under this Article 10. The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such Action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article 10 or otherwise. In case any such Action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Action in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and to control its own defense of such Action if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties.

Section 10.04. Limitation of Liability.

(a)                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of the Warrantors to each Investor, as the case may be, in respect of all Indemnifiable Losses under this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal to 100% of such Investor’s Purchase Price. None of the Parties shall have any liability for speculative, punitive, unforeseeable or consequential damages or lost profits resulting from any legal action or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

(b)                   An Indemnifying Party shall not have liability under this Agreement for any Indemnifiable Losses unless the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses incurred by the Indemnified Parties and indemnifiable thereunder exceeds US$100,000 and Indemnifying Parties shall be liable for all such amount of Indemnifiable Losses and not only the excess.

(c)                    The amount of any Indemnifiable Losses payable by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall be net of any amounts actually recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor. If the Indemnifying Party has paid an amount in discharge of any claim under this Agreement and the Indemnified Party has been compensated in full for all Indemnifiable Losses it has suffered with respect to the subject matter of such claim, then to the extent the Indemnified Party subsequently recovers (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which further indemnifies or compensates the Indemnified Party (in whole or in part) in respect of the same loss or liability which is the subject matter of the claim such that the Indemnified Party’s recovery and retention of such amount would constitute double recovery, it shall as soon as reasonably practicable pay over such amount to the Indemnifying Party less all costs of recovery and Taxes with respect thereto.

21

(d)      To the extent required by applicable Law, each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Indemnifiable Losses for which the Indemnified Party makes claims under this Agreement.
