(a) Each Seller, jointly and severally, agrees to pay to and indemnify the Trust, and hold the
Trust harmless from, any expenses of the Trust arising under Section 2.2(j) or 3.4 of the
Administration Agreement, Section 8.1(a)(v) and 8.9 of the Collateral Agreements, Section 3.5 or

Purchase Agreement and the last sentence of Section 7.6 and the second sentence of Section 8.15 of
the Trust Agreement (collectively, “Indemnification Expenses”). Subject to Sections 2.1(b) and
(c), each Seller, jointly and severally, shall pay any Indemnification Expense in Federal
(immediately available) funds no later than five Business Days after the receipt by the Sellers,
pursuant to Section 2.1(b), of written notice of any claim for Indemnification Expenses.
(b) The Trustees shall give notice to, or cause notice to be given to, the Sellers in writing
of any claim for Indemnification Expenses or any threatened claim for Indemnification Expenses
immediately upon their acquiring knowledge of such claim. Such written notice shall be accompanied
by any demand, xxxx, invoice or other communication received from any third party claimant (a
“Claimant”) in respect of such Indemnification Expense.
2
(c) The Trust agrees that the Sellers may, and the Sellers are authorized on behalf of the
Trust to, contest in good faith with any Claimant any amount contained in any claim for
Indemnification Expense, provided that if, within such time period as the Trust shall determine to
be reasonable, the Sellers and such Claimant are unable to resolve amicably any disagreement
regarding such claim for Indemnification Expense, the Sellers shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Trust to represent the Trust in any resulting proceeding and shall pay the fees
and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. It is understood that the Sellers
shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party 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). The Sellers shall not be liable
for any settlement of any proceeding effected without their written consent, but if settled with
such consent or if there be a final judgment for the Claimant, each Seller, jointly and severally,
agrees to indemnify the Trustees and the Trust from and against any loss or liability by reason of
such settlement or judgment.
Section 2.2 Condition to Payments. The Sellers’ obligations under Section 2.1 shall
be subject to the condition that the Securities that are deliverable under the Securities Purchase
Agreement at the First Time of Delivery shall have been issued and paid for at the First Time of
Delivery.

Section 4.7 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retrospectively or prospectively)
if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by
all of the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to
be effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.
Section 4.8 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the

to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the
covenants and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall
bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or
not, including without limitation, the estate of each Seller that is an individual, and the
executor, administrator or personal representative of such Seller, as well as such Seller’s heirs,
assigns, beneficiaries, transferees and distributees, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or
representative of such Seller’s creditors, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of
the Service Provider and its successors and assigns. In addition, within three months of the
appointment of a personal representative of the estate of any deceased Seller that is an
individual, such personal representative shall enter into an agreement assuming all of the
obligations of this Agreement and agreeing not to challenge this Agreement.
Section 4.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, acknowledged and delivered
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
constitute a single agreement, with the same effect as if the signatures on each such counterpart
were upon the same instrument.

other obligations of each Seller under this Agreement as if he or she was a “Seller” hereunder, and
