the Indemnity Claim and the amount of the Indemnity Claim or, if an amount is not then determinable, an estimate of the amount of the Indemnity Claim, if an estimate is feasible in the circumstances.

39

Third Party
Liability, the following procedures will apply:

8.3.4.1. except as contemplated by subparagraph 8.3.4.3 of this section, the Indemnifying Party or the Vendor will have the right to assume carriage of the compromise or settlement of the Third Party Liability and the conduct of any related legal, administrative or other proceedings, but the Indemnified Party or the Purchaser shall have the right and shall be given the opportunity to participate in the defence of the Third Party Liability, to consult with the Indemnifying Party or the Vendor in the settlement of the Third Party Liability and the conduct of related legal, administrative and other proceedings (including consultation with counsel) and to disagree on reasonable grounds with the selection and retention of counsel, in which case counsel satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party or the Vendor and the Indemnified Party or the Purchaser shall be retained by the Indemnifying Party or the Vendor;

8.3.5. If, with respect to any Third Party Liability, the Indemnifying Party or the Vendor does not admit the Indemnified Party's or the Purchaser's right to indemnification or decline to assume carriage of the settlement or of any legal, administrative or other proceedings relating to the Third Party Liability, then the following provisions will apply:

40

8.3.5.1. the Indemnified Party or the Purchaser, at its discretion, may assume carriage of the settlement or of any legal, administrative or other proceedings relating to the Third Party Liability and may defend or settle the Third Party Liability on such terms as the Indemnified Party or the Purchaser, acting in good faith, considers advisable; and

These statements are based on the current expectations or beliefs of Workstream's management and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: inability to grow our client base and revenue because of the number of competitors and the variety of sources of competition we face; client attrition; inability to offer services that are superior and cost effective when compared to the services being offered by our competitors; inability to further identify, develop and achieve success for new products, services and technologies; increased competition and its effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues; as well as the inability to enter into successful strategic relationships and other risks detailed from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
