7.3

Defense of Claims.  

(a)

If a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a person entitled to indemnification hereunder, the person claiming such indemnification shall give written notice



16



(a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying person (A) as soon as practicable after the person entitled to indemnification becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 7 and (B) in the case of the assertion of a claim (whether pursuant to a lawsuit or other legal action or otherwise) or the commencement of any Action by a third party (together, a “Third-Party Claim”), upon receipt of written notice of the Third-Party Claim. The failure of any indemnified person to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except and only to the extent that, the indemnifying person demonstrates actual material damage caused by such failure.  

(b)

In the case of a Third-Party Claim, if the indemnifying person shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified person that the indemnifying person shall be obligated to indemnify the indemnified person under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such Third-Party Claim, then the indemnifying person shall be entitled and, if it so elects, shall be obligated at its own cost, risk and expense, to participate in or take control of the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim (unless (x) the indemnifying person is also a party to such Third-Party Claim and the indemnified person determined in good faith, upon the advice of outside counsel, that a conflict of interest exists between the indemnified person and the indemnifying person with respect to such Third-Party Claim or (y) the indemnifying person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified person of its financial capacity to defend such Third Party-Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim) and to pursue the defense thereof in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings promptly taken or instituted and diligently pursued, including, without limitation, to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice reasonably acceptable to the indemnified person to handle and defend the same, compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnified person, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c)

In the event the indemnifying person elects to assume control of the defense and investigation of such lawsuit or other legal action in accordance with this Section 7.3 the indemnified person may, at its own cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided that, if the named persons to a lawsuit or other legal action include both the indemnifying person and the indemnified person and the indemnified person has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified person that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying person, the indemnified person shall be entitled, at the indemnifying person’s cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing.  

(d)

If the indemnifying person fails to notify the indemnified person in writing of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.3 within 10 days after receipt of the Claim Notice, the indemnified person against which such Third-Party Claim has been asserted shall (upon delivering notice to such effect to the indemnifying person) have the right to undertake, at the indemnifying person’s cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the account of the indemnifying person; provided that such Third-Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the indemnifying person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event the indemnifying person



17



assumes the defense of the claim, the indemnifying person shall keep the indemnified person reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement, and in the event the indemnified person assumes the defense of the claim, the indemnified person shall keep the indemnifying person reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The indemnifying person shall be liable for any settlement of any Third-Party Claim effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.3 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the indemnifying person agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified person from and against any and all Damages by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(e)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnified person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary Damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified person may, by notice to the indemnifying person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim.

8.

SURVIVAL; RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION NOT AFFECTED BY KNOWLEDGE.

All representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement, and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive for a period of two years from the date hereof (save for Sections 2.2 and 2.4, and all representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement relating to environmental or tax matters which shall survive through the applicable statute of limitation), except that this Section 8 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after such period. The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations.

9.

ELECTION IF STOCKHOLDERS’ APPROVAL NOT OBTAINED.

In the event that the Stockholders’ Approvals are not obtained by the Second Closing Date:

CCTI shall not, without the prior consent of Ventrillion (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), issue any of its or its subsidiaries’ Equity Securities to any person or entity for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date Ventrillion makes an election under Section 9.1(b)(ii) above (the “Lock-up Period”); provided however that CCTI may issue (i) common shares issuable upon the exercise of any outstanding options granted to its directors, officers and employees prior to the Lock-up Period under CCTI’s 2012 Stock Option Plan, which was effective from July 1, 2012 (the “Stock Options”), and (ii) up to 5,000,000 (five million) Stock Options to its directors, officers and employees as part of its ordinary course compensation arrangements; and

(b)

CCTI shall have the right, if the Stockholders’ Approvals are not obtained within 12 (twelve) months of Ventrillion’s election under Section 9.1(b)(ii) above, to terminate, with prior written notice to Ventrillion, the sale and closing of the Second Closing Common Shares and 60,000,000 (sixty million) of the Third Closing Common Shares with no further liability or obligation on the part of CCTI.

9.3

The parties acknowledge that the damages suffered by Ventrillion in the event the Stockholders’ Approvals are not received would be impossible to calculate, and the Liquidated Damages constitute a good faith and reasonable estimate of such damages.

9.4

The obligation of CCTI to pay amounts payable under this Section 9 (and the payment thereof) shall be absolute and unconditional; and shall be payable as specified herein, and not subject to any defense, claim, counterclaim, offset, recoupment, or reduction of any kind whatsoever.



19



9.5

This Section 9, and the rights and obligations created hereunder, shall survive this Agreement.
