The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by an Indemnitor on behalf of an Investor Designee with respect to any claim for which such Investor Designee has sought indemnification from the Company or its subsidiaries shall affect the foregoing and the applicable Indemnitor shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Investor Designee against the Company and its subsidiaries.
