10.02 Indemnification.

Such legal or other expenses shall be promptly reimbursed as and when they are incurred. The Company acknowledges and agrees that if either the Commitment Fee, once paid, if required to be refunded to the Company or otherwise, at any time or for any reason other than as a result of clauses (A) or (B) above, the amount so refunded shall constitute an indemnifiable Loss under this Agreement.

(b) In case any proceeding shall be instituted in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to the paragraph above, the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company.

Upon the Company’s prompt written notice to the Backstop Participants, the Company may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Backstop Participants to represent the Backstop Participants and any Indemnitee and will pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnitee will have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee unless (i) the Company and the Backstop Participants have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Company and the Indemnitee, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Company. It is understood that the Company shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnitees in any matter or series of related matters.

Notwithstanding the previous sentence, this Agreement, or any Backstop Participants’ obligations hereunder, may be assigned, delegated or transferred, in whole or in part, by any Backstop Participant to any Affiliate (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such Backstop Participant over which the Backstop Participant or any of its Affiliates exercises investment authority, including, without limitation, with respect to voting and dispositive rights; provided, that any such assignee assumes the obligations of the Backstop Participant hereunder and agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Backstop Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions herein, no such assignment will relieve a Backstop Participant of its obligations hereunder if such assignee fails to perform such obligations. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) is not intended to and does not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under this Agreement.

12.03 Prior Negotiations; Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the agreements attached as exhibits to and the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of

-20-

this Agreement, except that the parties hereto acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed among the parties will continue in full force and effect.

12.04 GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY APPLICABLE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

12.05 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each party need not sign the same counterpart.

12.06 Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. The rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party otherwise may have at law or in equity.
