WHEREAS, the Installment Agreement provides that Price shall deposit with the Escrow Agent a certificate registered in the name of Price evidencing 2,000,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Price Escrowed Certificate”) purchased from the Seller pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement together with an executed blank stock power with signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or a member of the New York Stock Exchange (such Price Escrowed Certificate and accompanying blank executed stock power being hereinafter referred to as the “Price Escrowed Collateral”); and
WHEREAS, the Installment Agreement provides that the Seller shall deposit with the Escrow Agent: (i) stock certificates registered in the names of the Buyers evidencing the Purchased Shares (the “Purchased Shares Collateral”); and (ii) a stock certificate registered in the Seller's name evidencing 300,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Seller Escrowed Certificate”) together with an executed blank stock power with signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or a member of the New York Stock Exchange (such Seller Escrowed Certificate and accompanying blank executed stock power being hereinafter referred to as the “Seller Escrowed Collateral”); and

WHEREAS, in order to establish the escrow of the Collateral and to effect the provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Installment Agreement, the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. Appointment of and Acceptance by the Escrow Agent. The Seller, Price and the Buyers hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as Escrow Agent hereunder. The Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and, upon receipt of the Collateral, agrees to hold and distribute the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement.
2. Seller's Acknowledgement of the Escrow Agent's Legal Representation. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is counsel to Price and the Buyers in connection with the transactions contemplated and referred herein. The Seller agrees that in the event of any dispute arising in connection with this Escrow Agreement or otherwise in connection with any transaction or agreement contemplated and referred herein, the Escrow Agent shall be permitted to continue to represent Price and the Buyers and the Seller will not seek to disqualify the Escrow Agent from continuing to act as such counsel.

The Seller and the Buyer's Representative hereby agree to deliver such a joint written direction to the Escrow Agent concurrently with payment in full for the Purchased Shares. If the Buyers shall have failed to pay to Seller on any Installment Payment Date US $25,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds and such default shall have continued for a continuous period of ten calendar days after notice of such default shall have been provided to the Escrow Agent and the Buyer's Representative, the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to the Seller the Purchased Shares Collateral, the Price Escrowed Collateral and the Seller Escrowed Collateral.
(b) Unless the Escrow Agent shall have delivered the Seller Escrowed Collateral to Seller pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5(a), the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Seller Escrowed Collateral to the Seller on the second anniversary of the Closing date under the Purchase Agreement.
6. Suspension of Performance; Delivery of the Collateral into Court. If at any time, there shall exist any dispute between the Seller and the Buyers or between the Seller and Price with respect to holding or disposition of any portion of the Collateral or any other obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or if at any time the Escrow Agent is unable to determine, to the Escrow Agent's sole satisfaction, the proper disposition of any portion of the Collateral or the Escrow Agent's proper actions with respect to its obligations hereunder, or if the parties have not within ten (10) days of the furnishing by the Escrow Agent of a notice of resignation pursuant to this Agreement, appointed a successor Escrow Agent to act hereunder, then the Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, take either or both of the following actions:
(a) suspend the performance of any of its obligations (including without limitation any delivery obligations) under this Agreement until such dispute or uncertainty shall be resolved to the sole satisfaction of the Escrow Agent or until a successor Escrow Agent shall be appointed (as the case may be); and/or
(b) petition (by means of an interpleader action or any other appropriate method) any court of competent jurisdiction in any venue convenient to the Escrow Agent, for instructions with respect to such dispute or uncertainty, and to the extent required by law, pay into such court, for holding and disposition in accordance with the instructions of such court, all Collateral held by it pursuant to this Agreement.
The Escrow Agent shall have no liability to the Seller, the Buyers, Price or any person with respect to any such suspension of performance or payment into court, specifically including any liability or claimed liability that may arise, or be alleged to have arisen, out of or as a result of any delay in the delivery of any of the Collateral or any delay with respect to any other action required or requested of the Escrow Agent.

XXXXXXXXXX LAW
STANDARD TERMS FOR ALL ESCROW AGREEMENTS
Acceptance by Xxxxxxxxxx Law (the “Escrow Agent”) of its duties under the Escrow Agreement to which this is attached is subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Standard Terms”), which all parties to the Escrow Agreement hereby agree shall govern and control the rights, duties and privileges of the Escrow Agent and shall be deemed incorporated by reference into the Escrow Agreement as if set forth in full therein (the Escrow Agreement and these Standard Terms shall together be referred to as the “Agreement"):
The duties of the Escrow Agent are to be determined solely by the express provisions of the Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall have no responsibilities except the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Agreement.
The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act taken or omitted by it, or for any mistake in fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except for its own willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not incur liability and shall be fully protected in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith.
The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act on or rely upon any written notice, direction, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document which appears to have been signed or presented by the party or parties entitled to execute or deliver such document, and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to inquire of or investigate the authorization, signature or authenticity of such person or document.
The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to invest or earn interest on any funds held in escrow. It may, however, deposit such funds or proceeds thereof in or with any bank, savings or loan association, trust company, money market mutual fund or financial institution (in its own name or in the name of any of its members or nominees). The Escrow Agent has no obligation to, and does not undertake to, perfect any security interests in any of the property, register any of the property or the proceeds thereof, invest or redeem any of the property or proceeds thereof, or surrender or tender any of the property or the proceeds thereof for any reason, or in any other respect enforce the obligations or preserve the rights of any party relating to any notes, debt instruments, securities, contracts or other property or proceeds thereof held in escrow.
The Escrow Agent may resign its duties and shall thereupon be discharged from all further duties or obligations hereunder at any time upon giving 10 days' written notice to the parties to the Agreement. The parties to the Agreement will thereupon jointly designate a successor escrow agent hereunder within said 10-day period to whom the property held in escrow shall be delivered and shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a general release executed by all parties to the Agreement (other than the Escrow Agent) and shall pay the Escrow Agent in full any amounts owed to it under the Agreement. In default of such a joint designation of a successor escrow agent and delivery of such release and amounts, and unless the Escrow Agent has deposited the property held in escrow with a court, the Escrow Agent shall retain the property theretofore held in escrow as custodian thereof until otherwise directed by the parties to the Agreement jointly, without further liability or responsibility.
The parties to the Agreement other than the Escrow Agent (collectively referred to as the “Indemnitors”) jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and its members, employees and agents (jointly and severally the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold them harmless of and from, any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees (including those of the Escrow Agent computed at its regular hourly rates), which the Indemnitees may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought or threatened to be brought, whether by any party hereto or by any other person or entity, against any Indemnitee or in which any Indemnitee may become involved arising out of or relating directly or indirectly in any way to the Agreement or any transaction to which the Agreement directly or indirectly relates. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph for any reason is held to be unavailable, the Indemnitors shall contribute such amounts as are, as between the Indemnitors, just and equitable to pay to the Indemnitees or to reimburse them for, the aggregate of any and all losses, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses, including counsel fees, incurred by the Indemnitees as a result of or in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, claim or proceeding arising out of or relating directly or indirectly in any way to the Agreement or any transaction to which the Agreement directly or indirectly relates. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of the Agreement, whether by disbursement of the property held in escrow, the resignation of the Escrow Agent or otherwise.
The Escrow Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, for any reason or for no reason, commence an interpleader or other action, suit or proceeding for the resolution of any controversy regarding this Agreement or the subject matter of its escrow.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS BY, AND BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS, AND THIS AGREEMENT CANNOT BE CHANGED OR TERMINATED EXCEPT BY A WRITING SIGNED BY ALL OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREE THAT NO ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE COMMENCED AGAINST THE ESCROW AGENT UNLESS (A) THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL FIRST HAVE BEEN GIVEN 30 DAYS' WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE CLAIM AND (B) THE SAME IS BROUGHT IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT OTHER THAN THE ESCROW AGENT AGREE THAT IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING COMMENCED BY THE ESCROW AGENT, SERVICE BY MAIL AS PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED GOOD, PROPER AND EFFECTIVE SERVICE UPON SAID PARTY, AND EACH CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK (OR ANY OTHER COURT SELECTED BY THE ESCROW AGENT) IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING HEREUNDER, HEREBY WAIVING ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OR VENUE OF SAID COURT.
If a controversy arises between one or more of the parties hereto, or between any of the parties hereto and any person not a party hereto, as to whether or not or to whom the Escrow Agent shall deliver the property held in escrow or any portion thereof, or as to any other matter arising out of or relating to the Agreement or the property held in escrow, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry or investigation, or make any determination as to such controversy, and need not make any delivery of such property but may retain it until the rights of the parties to the dispute shall have finally been determined by agreement in form, substance and formalities satisfactory to the Escrow Agent or by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction from which final order the time for appeal has expired without an appeal having been taken. If and to the extent directed to do so by said agreement or final order the Escrow Agent shall deliver the property held in escrow within a reasonable time after the Escrow Agent has received written notice of any such agreement or final order, accompanied by proof satisfactory to it of the validity of such agreement and/or the finality of such order. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to assume that no such controversy has arisen unless it has received a written notice that such a controversy has arisen which refers specifically to the Agreement and identifies by name and address all parties to the controversy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to comply with any order of any court or other lawful authority which has not been stayed.
All notices, requests and other communications which may or must be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to each of the parties at their addresses set forth in the Agreement. Any of the parties hereto by notice in writing delivered or mailed to the other parties hereto, as aforesaid, may change the name or address, or both, to which future notices to it shall be delivered or mailed.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, but not to the benefit of any third party. The Agreement and any rights thereunder may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Escrow Agent, and any purported assignment without the Escrow Agent's prior written consent shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever. The rights granted the Escrow Agent herein are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of the Escrow Agent's right to assert all other legal and equitable remedies available to it under the circumstances.

Seller Indemnity Agreement
XXXXXXXX INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 30th day of June, 2006, by and between Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (the “Indemnitor”) and Xxxxx Xxxxx (“Price”).
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof by and between the Indemnitor, as Seller, and Price and one or more designees of Price (“Permitted Designees”), as Buyers, the Indemnitor has agreed to sell and transfer to Price and the Permitted Designees (individually, an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) 12,345,001 shares of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, of Syntony Group, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Indemnitor”) (the “Purchased Shares”), and the Indemnitees have agreed to purchase and accept from the Indemnitor the Purchased Shares for an aggregate purchase price of US $600,000; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares, the Indemnitor has agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement to the Indemnitees, and;
WHEREAS, the Indemnitor wishes to provide this Agreement for indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to the Indemnitees to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, the Indemnitor and Price agree as follows for the benefit of the Indemnitees:
1. The Indemnitor agrees that if one or more of the Indemnitees is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of: (a) any action or omission of the Indemnitor or any officer, director, employee, counsel, accountant or other agent prior to the date of the Closing or (b) the inaccuracy or incompleteness of the representations and warranties of the Indemnitor set forth in the Purchase Agreement, each such Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Indemnitor to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by applicable law, against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney's fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) (collectively “Expenses”) reasonably incurred or suffered by each such Indemnitee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of each such Indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.
2. The Indemnitor shall advance to each such Indemnitee to the extent permitted by law all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by each such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding within 30 days after receipt by the Indemnitor of a written request, with appropriate documentation, for such advance. Such request shall include an undertaking by each such Indemnitee to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses.
3. Promptly after receipt by each such Indemnitee of notice of any claim or the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to which each such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity hereunder, each such Indemnitee or a representative of each such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing of such claim or the commencement of such Proceeding, and the Indemnitor shall (i) assume the defense of such Proceeding, (ii) employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to each such Indemnitee and (iii) pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, each such Indemnitee, at its own expense, shall be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Indemnitor and from any other party in such action; provided, however, if any such Indemnitee reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by the Indemnitor not advisable or if the Indemnitor fails to employ counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, the reasonable fees and disbursements of such separate counsel for such Indemnitee shall be paid by the Indemnitor to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay for more than one such separate counsel for the Indemnitees. In addition, the Indemnitees shall give the Indemnitor such information and cooperation with regard to such Proceeding as the Indemnitor may reasonably require and as shall be in the Indemnitees' power.
4. The Indemnitor shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnitees against settlements entered into without the consent of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any penalty, limitation or admission on the Indemnitees without the Indemnitees' written consent. Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitees shall unreasonably withhold its or his consent to any proposed settlement.
5. If one of more of the Indemnitees are entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Indemnitor for some or a portion of the Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Indemnitor shall nevertheless indemnify each such Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which such Indemnitees are entitled. Both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitees acknowledge that in certain instances, federal or state law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Indemnitor from indemnifying the Indemnitees under this Agreement or otherwise.
6. If the Indemnitees have not received full indemnification within 30 days after making a written demand on the Indemnitor for indemnification, the Indemnitees shall have the right to enforce their indemnification rights under this Agreement by commencing litigation in any court in the State of New York having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court. The Indemnitor hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. The remedy provided for in this Section 6 shall be in addition to any other remedies available to the Indemnitees in law or equity.
7. It shall be a defense to any action brought by any one or more of the Indemnitee against the Indemnitor to enforce this Agreement for Expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition that it is not permissible under applicable law or under this Agreement for the Indemnitor to indemnify the Indemnitees for the amount claimed. In connection with any such action or any determination by the Indemnitor as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proving such a defense or determination shall be on the Indemnitor. Neither the failure of the Indemnitor to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action by the Indemnitees that indemnification of the claimants is proper under the circumstances because they have met the standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Indemnitor that the Indemnitees had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitees have not met the applicable standard of conduct. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, action, suit, or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitees did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.
8. The Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitees against any and all Expenses that are incurred by the Indemnitees in connection with any action brought by the Indemnitees for indemnification of Expenses by the Indemnitor under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law. In addition, the Indemnitor shall, if so requested by the Indemnitees, advance the foregoing Expenses to the Indemnitees.
9. The rights of the Indemnitees hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights the Indemnitees may have under applicable law, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under applicable law, or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties that the Indemnitees enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. The indemnification rights afforded to the Indemnitees under this Agreement are contract rights.
10. No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless in the form of a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought, and no such waiver shall operate as a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Except as specifically provided herein, no failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof.
11. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitees, who shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do everything that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Indemnitor effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
12. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitees and their respective successors, assigns, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives.
13. If any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of this Agreement containing a provision held to be invalid, void, or otherwise unenforceable that is not itself invalid, void, or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, void, or unenforceable.
14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.
15. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
16. Receipt by either the Indemnitor or Price of a counterpart of this Agreement manually signed and then scanned electronically and E-mailed to the other or manually signed and then sent by facsimile transmission to the other shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be an original counterpart with the same force and effect as the manually signed counterpart from which it was electronically reproduced.
17. All notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand, against receipt, or mailed, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and addressed as follows:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof by and between the Indemnitee, as Seller, and the Indemnitor and one or more designees of the Indemnitor (“Permitted Designees”), as Buyers, the Indemnitee has agreed to sell and transfer to the Indemnitor and the Permitted Designees 12,345,001 shares of Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, of Syntony Group, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”) (the “Purchased Shares”), and the Indemnitor and the Permitted Designees have agreed to purchase and accept from the Indemnitee the Purchased Shares for an aggregate purchase price of US $600,000; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares, the Indemnitor has agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement to the Indemnitee, and;
WHEREAS, the Indemnitor wishes to provide this Agreement for indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to the Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee agree as follows:
1. The Indemnitor agrees that if the Indemnitee is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of: (a) a reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding Common Stock becoming effective on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing or (b) the inaccuracy or incompleteness of the representations and warranties of the Indemnitor set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Indemnitor to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by applicable law, against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney's fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) (collectively “Expenses”) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.
2. The Indemnitor shall advance to the Indemnitee to the extent permitted by law all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding within 30 days after receipt by the Indemnitor of a written request, with appropriate documentation, for such advance. Such request shall include an undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses.
3. Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of any claim or the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity hereunder, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing of such claim or the commencement of such Proceeding, and the Indemnitor shall (i) assume the defense of such Proceeding, (ii) employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee and (iii) pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Indemnitee, at its own expense, shall be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Indemnitor and from any other party in such action; provided, however, if the Indemnitee reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by the Indemnitor not advisable or if the Indemnitor fails to employ counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, the reasonable fees and disbursements of such separate counsel for the Indemnitee shall be paid by the Indemnitor to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay for more than one such separate counsel for the Indemnitee.

8. The Indemnitor shall indemnify the Indemnitee against any and all Expenses that are incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by the Indemnitee for indemnification of Expenses by the Indemnitor under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law.
