10.6. Governing Law, Consent to
Jurisdiction, etc. All questions concerning the construction,
validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York, New York for the adjudication of any
dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of the any
of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to
assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified
mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the
address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such
service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way
any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY
HERETO (INCLUDING ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES)
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.

(a) The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its Affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation
reasonable attorney fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in
connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or
proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof)
(collectively, “Losses”)
to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on
the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any
such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such
Person.
(b) Promptly after receipt
by any Person (the “Indemnified
Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or
might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or
investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this
Section 10.9, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in
writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and
shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any
Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its
obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially
prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any
Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person
unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to
the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to
such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such
Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated
above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such
proceeding.
