(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within 20 days thereafter, to4accept full responsibility (subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7) for any Buyer Losses or Company Losses (as the case may be) resulting from a Third Party Claim, and to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such 20 day period, then such Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.5); provided, however,

that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single Proceeding. In any Proceeding with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, will have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense.

(c) The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, will at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which they are maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter. No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless the Indemnifying Party fails to assume and maintain the defense of such claim pursuant to this Section 7.3. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability arising out of such claim, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or Liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term which in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

(d) In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 7.3(a), such Indemnified Party will send written notice of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party. Such notice will specify the basis for such claim. As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has given such notice, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party will establish the merits and amount of such claim by mutual agreement or mediation. If the Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party fail to establish the merits and amount by way of mutual agreement or mediation they will establish the merits and amount by way of arbitration as provided in Section 8.9. Within five Business Days of the final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, and the Indemnifying Party will pay to the Indemnified Party (or to such other Person as the Indemnified Party directs) immediately available funds in an amount, if any, equal to such claim as determined hereunder.

EXHIBIT B

SPOUSAL CONSENT

I acknowledge that I have read the foregoing Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Agreement”) and that I understand its contents. I am aware that by its provisions, my spouse agrees, among other things, to a right of first refusal, to the granting of rights to purchase and to the imposition of certain restrictions on the transfer of securities of the Company, including my community interest therein (if any), which rights and restrictions may survive my spouse’s death. I hereby consent to such rights and restrictions, approve of the provisions of the Agreement, and agree that I will bequeath any interest which I may have in said securities or any of them, including my community interest, if any, or permit any such interest to be purchased, in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Agreement. I direct that any residuary clause in my will shall not be deemed to apply to my community interest (if any) in such partnership interests except to the extent consistent with the provisions of the Agreement.

I further agree that in the event of a dissolution of the marriage between myself and my spouse, in connection with which I secure or am awarded any securities of the Company or any interest therein through property settlement agreement or otherwise, I shall receive and hold said securities subject to all the provisions and restrictions contained in the Agreement, including any option of the Company or other Shareholders (as such terms are defined in the Agreement) to purchase such shares or interest from me.

I also acknowledge that I have been advised to obtain independent counsel to represent my interests with respect to the Agreement but that I have declined to do so and hereby expressly waive my right to such independent counsel
