Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, the Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Purchaser and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, subsidiaries, partners, members and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in any action between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or between the Indemnified Party and any third party or otherwise) or other liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company in the Transaction Documents, including as a result of any claim by the Indemnified Party or a third party with respect to any such breach.
-32-
8.2 Notification. Each Indemnified Party under this Article VIII shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim by a third party against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. In case any such claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any claim in which both the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to control its own defense of such claim if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, either (x) one or more defenses are available to the Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim effected against an Indemnified Party without its written consent. The rights accorded to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article VIII shall restrict or limit any rights that any Indemnified Party may have to seek equitable relief.
8.3 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Losses referred to herein (other than by reason of a breach of, or default under, the provisions of Section 8.2 hereof by such Indemnified Party), 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 such Losses 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, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults 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 referred to above

(c) at the election of each Purchaser as to such Purchaser, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement that would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, which breach could not reasonably be expected to be cured prior to January 31, 2003.
(d) at the election of each Purchaser as to such Purchaser, if the Company has not satisfied the condition specified in either Section 6.14 or Section 6.15, by providing written notice of its exercise of such termination rights to the Company within five days following receipt of the certificates provided for in Section 6.14 and Section 6.15, respectively.
