be sold by the Company.

the related indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may
be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional
to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the
indemnified party reasonably may be believed to conflict with the interests
of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to
select separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to
participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such
separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be
reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying party shall
