actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and
expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation
reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against
any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct,
indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating
to any claim, demand, suit, action, or proceeding (including any inquiry or

Agreement, whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or
equitable remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including,
but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common
law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of
this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein, whether or not any such
Indemnified
Party is a party to any such action or proceeding, suit or the target of any
such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party
shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for liability finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal,
to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party. If any such action or claim shall be brought or asserted
against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Company and the Investor(s) hereunder in writing, and the Investor(s) and the
Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel
and the payment of all expenses. Such Indemnified Party shall, in its sole

such Indemnified Party in its sole discretion) in any such action and to
participate and to participate in the defense thereof, and the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party, except that the
Investor(s) and/or the Company shall be required to pay such fees and expense if
(a) the Investor(s) or the Company agree to pay such fees and expenses, or (b)
the Investor(s) and/or the Company shall fail to assume the defense of such
action or proceeding or shall fail, in the sole discretion of such Indemnified
Party, to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in any
such action or proceeding, (c) the Investor(s) and the Company are the plaintiff
in any such action or proceeding or (d) the named or potential parties to any
such action or proceeding (including any potentially impleaded parties) include

more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to
those available to the Company or the Investor(s). The Investor(s) and the
Company shall be jointly and severally liable to pay fees and expenses of
counsel pursuant to the preceding sentence, except that any obligation to pay
under clause (a) shall apply only to the party so agreeing. All such fees and
expenses payable by the Company and/or the Investor(s) pursuant to the foregoing
sentence shall be paid from time to time as incurred, both in advance of and
after the final disposition of such action or claim. The obligations of the
parties under this section shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and

obligation of Escrow Agent.
The parties agree that neither payment by the Company or the
Investor(s) of any claim by Escrow Agent for indemnification hereunder shall
