a lawsuit or other legal action or otherwise, a "Third-Party Claim"), if the
Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge in writing to the Indemnified Party under
the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such Third-Party Claim,

of such lawsuit or other legal action in accordance with this Section 6.4, the
Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in the
investigation, trial and defense of such Third-Party Claim; provided that, if
the named persons to a lawsuit or other legal action include both the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been
advised in writing by counsel that there may be one ore more legal defenses
available such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at
the Indemnifying Party's cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own
choosing. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such
Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.4 within 10 calendar days
after receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such
Third-Party Claim has been asserted shall upon delivering notice to such effect
to the Indemnifying Party have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying
Party's cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise and settlement of such
Third- Party Claim on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Party;

unreasonably withheld. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense
of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably
informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement, and in
the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the
Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the
progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. The Indemnifying Party

and in accordance with this Section 6.4 and for any final judgment (subject to
any right of appeal), and the Indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Damages by reason
of such settlement or judgment.
20
(i) Notwithstanding clause (i) above, in the event that
the Indemnified Party is an SKM Indemnified Party, any Claim Notice election or
other notification or correspondence required pursuant to such clause (i) shall
be valid if it is delivered to Xxxxxxx Smith_ (the "Stockholder
Representative"). Each Principal Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints the
Stockholder Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to the
matters set forth in this Section 6.4, and hereby irrevocably grants to the
Stockholder Representative the authority to administer Claims on behalf of such
Stockholder, to exercise such other rights and powers as are set forth in this
Agreement and to enter into, and to bind such Stockholder with respect to, the
settlement of any such Claim. Each PAL Indemnified Party shall be entitled to

correspondence from, the Stockholder Representative as such agent and
attorney-in-fact in connection with any Claim by or against any Stockholder
pursuant to this Section 6.4.

of asserting their respective rights under this Section 6.4. The remedies
described in this Section 6.4 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, and
