Seller  Parties,  as the  case may be,  (hereinafter,  the  applicable  party or
parties  being  indemnified,  the  "Indemnified  Party" and the party or parties
providing  indemnity,  the "Indemnifying  Party") agree to give the Indemnifying
Party prompt  written  notice of the  occurrence of any event which either party
asserts is an  indemnifiable  event hereunder.  The Indemnifying  Party shall be
entitled,  at its or his sole cost and expense, to participate in and to control
the contest,  defense,  settlement or compromise (the "Defense") of any claim if
the Indemnifying  Party shall agree in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days
after the receipt of notice of such claim that it is required,  pursuant to this
Article,  to indemnify the  Indemnified  Party for the full amount of such claim
(the "Claim Acknowledgement  Procedure"). If the Indemnifying Party shall assume
the Defense of a claim hereunder,  the Indemnified  Party shall be kept informed
with respect to, and shall have the right to participate  in, the Defense of any
such  claim.  If the  Indemnifying  Party does not assume the defense of a claim
within a reasonable  time after notice  thereof or, after  assumption,  does not
thereafter  diligently  pursue the  Defense  or does not  comply  with the Claim
Acknowledgement  Procedure,  the Indemnified  Party shall be entitled to control
the  Defense  of  such  matter  for  the  account  and  at  the  expense  of the
Indemnifying Party.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing  provisions of this Section,
the  Indemnified  Party  shall have the sole right to control the Defense of any
claim if such claim is not a claim solely for monetary damages.

on the one hand, nor any Seller Party,  on the other hand,  shall be entitled to
be  indemnified  pursuant to Sections  8.01 and 8.02, as the case may be, unless
and until the aggregate of all Losses  incurred by the Purchaser  Parties or the
Seller Parties, as the case may be, shall exceed $ 75,000.00 (the "Basket") and,
upon exceeding such amount, the Purchaser Parties or the Seller Parties,  as the
case may be, shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Damages (other than the
initial $ 75,000.00 of Damages  which  comprised  the  Basket),  on a dollar for
dollar basis;  provided,  that the maximum  aggregate amount of  indemnification
that may be received by the Purchaser Parties or the Seller Parties, as the case
may be,  shall not exceed  Canadian $ One  Hundred  and Fifty  Thousand  Dollars
(Canadian $150,000).
