which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally

extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages
and liabilities, joint or several, to which any Indemnified Party may become
subject, caused by, related to or arising out of this Agreement, the Management
Services or any other advice or services contemplated by this Agreement or the
engagement of Holding pursuant to, and the performance by any Indemnified Party
of the Management Services contemplated by, this Agreement and (ii) promptly
reimburse each Indemnified Party for all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses), as incurred, in connection with the
investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim
or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified
Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is
initiated or brought by or on behalf of the Company and whether or not resulting
in any liability. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company shall not
be liable to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7 to the extent that
such loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense is found in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Indemnified Party's willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud.
8. Limited Liability. The Company agrees that no Indemnified Party shall

agents or other representatives) is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by
"force majeure" to carry out
any of Holding's obligations under this Agreement, Holding shall give prompt
notice to the Company of such force majeure, whereupon such obligations of
Holding shall be suspended so far as it is affected by such force majeure.
11. Assignment. Subject to Section 5, neither party may assign this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

and this Agreement shall be construed, if possible, as if amended to conform to
legal requirements, failing which it shall be construed as if any such offending
provision were omitted.
13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware, without giving
effect to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and
permitted assigns.
16. Amendment. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended except
by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. No waiver of any
breach or provision of this Agreement by a party shall be deemed to be a waiver
of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or different
nature.

which shall be an original and both of which, when taken together, shall
