(i) from and against any and all Obligations in any way resulting

action or failure to act of the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their
predecessors, whether such action or failure has occurred or is yet to

final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
the gross negligence or wilful or intentional misconduct of any of the
Indemnitees, the performance by CD&R of management consulting, monitoring,
financial advisory or other services for the Company or any Subsidiary
(whether performed prior to the date hereof, hereafter, pursuant to the
Consulting Agreement or otherwise); and
(ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and
against any and all Obligations in any way resulting from, arising out of
or in connection with, based upon or relating to (A) the fact that such
Indemnitee is or was a director or an officer of the Company or any
Subsidiary, as the case may be, or is or was serving at the request of such
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of or advisor or
consultant to another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or

(b) Without in any way limiting the foregoing Section 2(a), each
Indemnifying party agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Obligations resulting

liabilities under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable
securities or other laws, rules or regulations in connection with (i) the
inaccuracy or breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement in any Related Document, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Related Document or (iii)
any omission or alleged omission to state in any

Related Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, the
Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee from and against any
such Obligation to the extent that such Obligation arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or omission made in a Related Document in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished by any of the Indemnitees
to the Company expressly for use in the preparation of such Related Document.
3. Contribution.
------------
(a) Except to the extent that Section 3(b) is applicable, if for any
reason the indemnity provided for in Section 2(a) is unavailable or is
insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations covered
by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such
Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative
fault of the Company and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees,
on the other, in connection with the state of facts giving rise to such
Obligation, (ii) if such Obligation results from, arises out of, is based upon
or relates to the Transactions or any Securities Offering, the relative benefits
received by the Company and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the
Indemnitees, on the other, from such Transaction or Securities Offering and
(iii) if required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable
considerations.
(b) If for any reason the indemnity specifically provided for in
Section 2(b) is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee
from any of the Obligations covered by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying
Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by the Indemnitees as a result of such Obligation in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees, on the other, in connection
with the information contained in or omitted from any Related Document, which
inclusion or omission resulted in the inaccuracy or breach of or default under
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement therein, or which
information is or is alleged to be untrue, required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the relative
benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the
Indemnitees, on the other, from such Transaction or Securities Offering and
(iii) if required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable
considerations.
(c) For purposes of Section 3(a), the relative fault of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitees, on the other,
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, their respective
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct the
state of facts giving rise to such Obligation. For purposes of Section 3(b),
the relative fault of the Company and the Subsidiaries on the one hand,
6
and of the Indemnitees, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, (i) whether the included or omitted information relates to
information supplied by the Company or the Subsidiaries on the one hand, or by
the Indemnitees, on the other, and (ii) their respective relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct such inaccuracy,
breach, default, untrue or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged
omission. For purposes of Section 3(a) or 3(b), the relative benefits received
by the Company and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees, on
the other, shall be determined by weighing the direct monetary proceeds to the
Company and the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Indemnitees, on the
other, from such Securities Offering.
(d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contributions pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in such
respective Section. The Company shall not be liable under Section 3(a) or 3(b),
as applicable, for contribution to the amount paid or payable by any Indemnitee
except to the extent and under such circumstances as the Indemnifying Party
would have been liable to indemnify, defend and hold harmless such Indemnitee
under the corresponding Section 2(a) or 2(b) (in either case as interpreted by
Section 2(c)), as applicable, if such indemnity were enforceable under
applicable law. No Indemnitee shall be entitled to contribution from an
Indemnifying Party with respect to any Obligation covered by the indemnity
specifically provided for in Section 2(b) in the event that such Indemnitee is
finally determined to be guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such
Obligation and the Company is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
4. Indemnification Procedures.
--------------------------
(a) Whenever any Indemnitee shall have actual knowledge of the
reasonable likelihood of the assertion of a Claim, CD&R (acting on its own
behalf or, if requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of
such Indemnitee) or such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in
writing of the Claim (the "Notice of Claim") with reasonable promptness after
such Indemnitee has such knowledge relating to such Claim and has notified CD&R
thereof. The Notice of Claim shall specify all material facts known to CD&R (or
if given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) that may give rise to such Claim
and the monetary amount or an estimate of the monetary amount of the Obligation
involved if CD&R (or if given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) has knowledge
of such amount or a reasonable basis for making such an estimate. The failure
of CD&R to give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties
of their indemnification obligations under this Agreement except to the extent
that such omission results in a failure of actual notice to the Company and it
is materially injured as a result of the failure to give such Notice of Claim.
The Company shall, at its expense, undertake the defense of such Claim with
attorneys of its own choosing reasonably satisfactory to CD&R. CD&R may
participate in such defense with counsel of CD&R's choosing at its own expense.
In the event that the Company does not undertake the defense of the Claim within
a
7
reasonable time after CD&R has given the Notice of Claim, or in the event that
CD&R shall in good faith determine that, in the defense of any claim, the
interests of the Indemnifying Parties may be in conflict with those of any
Indemnitee, CD&R may, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties and after
giving notice to the Indemnifying Parties of such action, (i) undertake the
defense of the Claim and (ii) with the consent of the Indemnifying Parties
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), compromise or settle the
Claim, all for the account of and at the risk of the Indemnifying Parties. In
the defense of any Claim, (x) the Indemnifying Parties shall act diligently and
in good faith and (y) the Indemnifying Parties shall not (where it is in control
of such Claim), except with the consent of CD&R, and CD&R shall not (where it is
in control of such Claim), except with the consent of the Indemnifying Parties,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that includes any
injunctive or other non-monetary relief, or that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the person or persons asserting such
Claim to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect to such
Claim. In each case, CD&R and each Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder
will cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties, so long as the Indemnifying
Parties are conducting the defense of the Claim, in the preparation for and the
prosecution of the defense of such Claim, including making available evidence
within the control of CD&R or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, and persons
needed as witnesses who are employed by CD&R or such Indemnitee, as the case may
be, in each case as reasonably needed for such defense and at cost, which cost,
to the extent reasonably incurred, shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties.
(b) The Indemnifying Parties hereby agree, jointly and severally, to
advance reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by
CD&R (acting on its own behalf or, if requested by any such Indemnitee other
than itself, on behalf of such Indemnitee) in defending any Claim in advance of
the final disposition of such Claim upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of CD&R to repay amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined
that CD&R or such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Indemnifying Parties as authorized by this Agreement.
(c) CD&R shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the
amount of any Claim actually paid by CD&R (the "Notice of Payment") in
accordance with this Agreement. The amount of any Claim actually paid by CD&R
shall bear simple interest at the rate equal to Chase Manhattan Bank's prime
rate as of the date of such payment plus 2% per annum, from the date the Company
receives the Notice of Payment to the date on which the Indemnifying Parties
shall repay the amount of such Claim plus interest thereon, if any, to CD&R.
5. Certain Covenants; Other Indemnities. The rights of each
------------------------------------
Indemnitee to be indemnified under any other agreement, document, certificate or
instrument or applicable law are independent of and in addition to any rights of
