In the event of any registration of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, the Company shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the case of any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 10.1 or Section 10.2, the Seller of any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, its directors, officers, employees and agents, each other person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such Registrable Securities and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings whether commenced or threatened in respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Seller or any such director or officer or employee or agent or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, and the Company shall reimburse such Seller and each such director, officer, employee, agent, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action, or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding, whether commenced or threatened in respect thereof), or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment, or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the indemnified party for the express purpose of use in the preparation thereof and, provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), or expense arises out of such person's failure to send or give a copy of the final prospectus, as the same may be then supplemented or amended, within the time required by the Securities Act to the person asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Seller or any such director, officer, employee, agent, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such Registrable Securities by such Seller. b. In the event that the Company includes any Registrable Securities of a prospective Seller in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 10.3, such prospective Seller shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents, each other person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such Registrable Securities and each other person, if any, who controls the Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings whether commenced or threatened in respect thereof), joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or employee or underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such prospective Seller shall reimburse the Company and any such director, officer, employee, agent, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action, or proceeding if, and only if, such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by such Seller specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment, or supplement. In no event shall the liability of any Seller hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Seller upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer, employee, agent, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such Registrable Securities by such Seller. c. The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers, and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution to the same extent as provided above with respect to information so furnished in writing by such persons specifically for inclusion in any prospectus or registration statement. d.

In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that the indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof. If, in the indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnified party may assume the defense of such claim, jointly with any other indemnified party that reasonably determines such conflict of interest to exist, and the indemnifying party shall be liable to such indemnified parties for the reasonable legal fees and expenses of one counsel for all such indemnified parties and for other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense thereof incurred by the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability, or a covenant not to xxx, in respect of such claim or litigation. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enterinto any settlement of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by an indemnifying party without the consent of such indemnifying party. e. Indemnification and contribution similar to that specified in this Section 10.6 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Seller with respect to any required registration or other qualification of Registrable Securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the Securities Act. f. The indemnification required by this Section 10.6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred. g. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10.6 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any unreimbursed legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. In no event shall the liability of any Seller hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Seller upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10.6(g) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 10.6(g). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

D. The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such ~~indemnified party as a result of losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party~~ Person in connection with the ~~actions which resulted in~~ Partnership's activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such ~~losses~~Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of Section ~~11(f)~~ 7.7; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the ~~Securities Act)~~ participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be ~~entitled~~ deemed to ~~contribution~~ be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.
