shall not be excused from performance of its obligations to any Purchaser hereby
as a result of nonperformance or breach by any other Purchaser. The Company
acknowledges that the decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant
to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other

liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of the Company or of its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by
any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser. The
Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein and no action taken by any
Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as
a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
hereby. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any

INDEMNIFICATION
Section
7.01 Company and Shareholder
Indemnity. The Company and the Shareholders agree, severally and
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their
respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified
Party” and collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies,
costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) (“Damages”) incurred by the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties as a result of any
inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by
the Company herein; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable under this Section 7.1 to a Purchaser Indemnified
Party to the extent that such Damages resulted or arose from the breach by a
Purchaser Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement of a Purchaser Indemnified Party contained in the Transaction
Documents or the gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or bad faith
of a Purchaser Indemnified Party.
Section
7.02 Indemnification
Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VII
(an “indemnified
party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters
giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any
indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VII except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to
give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an
indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the
reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it
and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or
claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the
reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified
parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an
indemnified party that it will not contest such a claim for indemnification
hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification
notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or
compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or
discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the
indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or
pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party
elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim,
proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs and expenses arising out of
the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding
shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party
shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any
negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and
shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to
the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying
party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If
the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the
indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel
of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be
liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without
its prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the
contrary,
the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written
consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in
respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or
which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the
claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article
VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of
investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss,
damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably
agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of
action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party
or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to
pursuant to the law.
