party thereto is in default or breach, in each case in any material respect,

lease or commitment has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both,

preceding sentence, any representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity
may be sought under this Agreement shall survive the time at which it would
otherwise terminate pursuant to the preceding sentence, if notice of the
inaccuracy or breach thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have
been given in reasonable detail to the party against whom such indemnity may be
sought prior to such time. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained
in this Agreement shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms or,
if no term is specified, indefinitely.
SECTION 6.02. Indemnification
(a) The Issuer hereby indemnifies each of the Purchasers, their
general partner and any limited partner of any of the Purchasers, any
affiliate of the general partner of the Purchasers and any of their
respective directors, officers, agents and employees and each other person,
if any, controlling the general partner of the Purchasers or any limited
partner of the Funds or any of their affiliates (an "Indemnified Person")
against and agrees to hold each of them harmless from any and all losses,
claims, damages, costs, liabilities or expenses (or actions, suits or
proceedings in respect thereof), including, without limitation, reasonable
expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding ("Damages") incurred or
suffered by any Indemnified Person, in each case arising out of any
misrepresentation or breach of warranty, covenant or agreement made or to
be performed by the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) In addition to the indemnification obligations set forth above,
the Issuer hereby indemnifies each Indemnified Person against and agrees to
hold each of them harmless from any Damages to which such Indemnified
Person may become subject or which may be incurred or suffered by such
Indemnified Person in connection with or arising from the matters which are
the subject of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement

as they are incurred by any such Indemnified Person in connection with
investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim pending or
threatened, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto. The
Issuer shall not be responsible for any Damages to the extent a court of
competent jurisdiction shall have finally determined that such Damage
resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person's bad faith or gross
negligence. If for any reason (other than the gross negligence or bad
faith of any Indemnified Person referred to above) the foregoing indemnity
is unavailable or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, then
the Issuer shall contribute to amounts paid or payable by such Indemnified
-16-
Person in respect of such Damages in such proportion as appropriately
reflects the relative benefits received by, and fault of, the Issuer and
such Indemnified Person in connection with the matters as to which such
Damages relate and other equitable considerations.
(c) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby indemnifies the
Issuer against and agrees to hold it harmless from any and all Damages
