The amount of any Loss under an Indemnity Claim will be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies with respect to that Loss.
- 36 -
8.6.3 No Double Recovery. No Indemnified Party is entitled to double recovery for any Indemnity Claim even though the Indemnity Claim may have resulted from the breach or inaccuracy of more than one of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement.
8.6.4 Materiality. In the case of an Indemnity Claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article 8 for breach by the Corporation or by the Seller of a representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, the Buyer Indemnified Party will be entitled to claim the full amount of the Loss resulting from that breach without regard to the materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifier. However, the determination under this Article 8 of whether there has been a breach of a representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect will be made having regard to the materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifier.
8.6.5 Remoteness and Mitigation. The quantum of Losses that can be recovered by an Indemnified Party under this Article 8 will not be affected by the application of principles of remoteness of damages, or the duty to mitigate, provided that this Section 8.6.5 will not limit the obligations of an Indemnified Party under Section 8.6.2 (Insurance Recoveries).
8.7 Notice of Indemnity Claims
If an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a Loss or potential Loss in respect of which an Indemnifying Party has agreed to indemnify it under this Article 8, the Indemnified Party will promptly give written notice (an "Indemnity Notice") of its claim or potential claim for indemnification (an "Indemnity Claim") to the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnity Notice must specify whether the Indemnity Claim arises as the result of a Third Party Claim or as a result of a Loss that was suffered directly by an Indemnified Party, and must also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):
8.7.1 the factual basis for the Indemnity Claim; and
8.7.2 the amount of the Indemnity Claim, if known.
If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not receive an Indemnity Notice of an Indemnity Claim in time to effectively contest the determination of any liability capable of being contested, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to set-off against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party the amount of any Loss incurred by the Indemnifying Party resulting from the Indemnified Party's failure to give an Indemnity Notice on a timely basis.

Each provision of this Agreement is distinct and severable. If any provision of this Agreement, in whole or in part, is or becomes illegal, invalid, void, voidable or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by any court of competent jurisdiction, the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of that provision, in whole or in part, will not affect:

- 41 -

Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has read and understands the terms and conditions of this Agreement and acknowledges and agrees that it has had the opportunity to seek, and was not prevented or discouraged by any other Party from seeking, any independent legal advice which it considered necessary before the execution and delivery of this Agreement and that, if it did not avail itself of that opportunity before signing this Agreement, it did so voluntarily without any undue pressure, and agrees that its failure to obtain independent legal advice will not be used by it as a defence to the enforcement of its obligations under this Agreement.
9.15 Third Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies on any Person other than the Parties (and their respective Successors) and the Indemnified Parties if and as applicable.
