The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and to control the defense of any such claim with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, including the cost and expense of reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements for one law firm in connection with such defense, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and disbursements of separate counsel for such in such action. In the event, however, that such Indemnified Party’s legal counsel shall determine that defenses may be available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, in that there could reasonably be expected to be a conflict of interest if such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have common counsel in any such proceeding, or if the Indemnified Party has not assumed the defense of the action or proceedings, then such Indemnifying Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend such Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such

 

31

 

Indemnified Party. No settlement of any such claim or payment in connection with any such settlement shall be made without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If any Indemnifying Party becomes obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any Losses under this Article 8 as established pursuant to (a) a final and non-appealable judgment, order, award or determination of a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity or (b) the mutual agreement of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, such payment shall be made promptly by such Indemnifying Party, but in any event within 30 days.

 

For any indemnification payments that are payable by NOWTRANSIT under Section 8.01 above, such indemnifications payments shall be paid by issuing additional shares of NOWTRANSIT common stock to the BEST Shareholders on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to the required indemnification payment. The value of each share of NOWTRANSIT common stock issued for such payment shall be determined by using the price of NOWTRANSIT common stock as of (i) the day prior to the first public announcement of the Share Exchange following full execution of this Agreement by the Parties, or (ii) the date NOWTRANSIT incurs the Losses, whichever is lower.

 

For any indemnification payments that are payable by the BEST Shareholders under section 8.03 above, such indemnifications payments may, in whole or in part, be paid by surrendering Exchange Shares to NOWTRANSIT in an amount equal to each BEST Shareholders required indemnification payment. The value of each Exchange Share issued for such payment shall be determined by using the price of NOWTRANSIT common stock as of (i) the day prior to the first public announcement of the Share Exchange following full execution of this Agreement by the parties, or (ii) the date NOWTRANSIT incurs the Losses, whichever is lower.

 

8.05    Survival. Each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and all indemnity obligations hereunder related to breaches of such representations and warranties will expire on the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). No claim, lawsuit or other proceeding arising out of or related to the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement may be made by any Party unless notice of any such claim for indemnification with respect to such breach or inaccuracy is given to the Indemnifying Party on or prior to the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights and remedies under this Article 8 with respect to any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding (including recovery of Losses in respect thereof) for which notice has been given prior to the Expiration Date will survive until such claim, lawsuit or other proceeding has been finally resolved.

This Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

 

9.06    Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. The Parties hereby expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, for any lawsuit against either party arising from or related to this Agreement and no other jurisdiction.

 

9.07    Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

 

9.08    Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity and without the requirement of posting any bond or other security. In addition, each of the Parties hereto (a) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction or venue by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and

 

(b) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any state court other than such court.

 

9.09    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

 

9.10    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement, to the

 

36

 

extent delivered by means of electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto, each other Party hereto shall re-execute original forms hereof and deliver them in person to all other Parties. No Party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense related to lack of authenticity.

 

9.11    Attorneys Fees. Subject to any limitations in Article 8 in this Agreement, in the event any suit or other legal proceeding is brought for the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties hereto agree that the prevailing Party or Parties shall be entitled to recover from the other Party or Parties upon final non-appealable judgment on the merits, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees for any appeal, and costs incurred in bringing such suit or proceeding.

 

9.12    Currency. All references to currency in this Agreement shall refer to the lawful currency of the United States of America.
