legally binding obligations of the Investor enforceable in accordance with their
terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other
equitable remedies.
Section 6.02 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Notes and the Shares to
be purchased by the Investor (collectively, the "Securities") will be acquired
for investment for the Investor's own account and not with a view to the resale
or distribution of any part thereof. The Investor represents that it has full
power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

Securities and Exchange Commission or state regulatory agencies. The Investor
further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of

registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this
connection, the Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as

by the Act.

COUNSEL, REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT
THE PROPOSED SALE, TRANSFER, OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTUATED WITHOUT

Section 8.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Investors
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any

Section 8.05 Indemnity.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investors and
each of its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members,
managers, employees, agents, representatives, assignees and controlling persons
(each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, expenses and liabilities (including the cost of any investigation,
litigation, or other proceedings, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is
a party thereto), and fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, joint or
several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable
law and related to or arising out of (i) any transaction contemplated by the
Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents or any other document in any way relating to the
Transaction, the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
(as such documentation may be amended, modified or supplemented) or (ii) any
breach of a representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Transaction
Documents. The Company will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification
provision to an Indemnified Party to the extent that any loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party's bad faith,
gross negligence, or knowing violation of law. The Company also agrees that no
Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in
contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company, or any security holders or
creditors thereof, related to or arising out of the execution, delivery and
xix
performance of any Transaction Document or any other document in any way
relating to any of the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or
liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court to have
resulted from such Indemnified Party's bad faith or gross negligence or any
breach of this Agreement.
(b) If the indemnification of an Indemnified Party provided for in Section
8.06(a) is for any reason held unenforceable, the Company agrees to contribute
to the losses, claims, damages and liabilities for which such indemnification is
held unenforceable (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party,
on the other hand, of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, including, without limitation, the Transactions and the other
transactions contemplated by any other document in any way relating to any of
the Transactions (whether or not any of such transaction is consummated) or (ii)
if (but only if) the allocation provided for in clause (i) is for any reason
held unenforceable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the
Company, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be
required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the aggregate interest
and costs and expenses actually paid to such Indemnified Party in connection
with the Transaction

Transaction Document, and the Company hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims
in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New
York, New York state court or such federal court. The Company hereby irrevocably

complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or
proceeding by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by delivering a copy
of such process to the Company, at its address specified in Section 8.02 or by
any other method permitted by law. The Company agrees that a final judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or by any other manner provided by law.
xx
(b) Nothing in this Section 8.09 shall affect the right of the Investors to
serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of
the Investors to bring any action or proceeding against the Company or their
property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

disclosure by the Investors or its respective agents, representatives, advisors,
legal counsel or employees; (ii) is or becomes available to the Investors on a

contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to pay, and the
Investor shall not be permitted to contract for, take, reserve, charge or
receive, any compensation which constitutes interest under applicable law in

If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined in a final, non-appealable

combination of the foregoing; (D) the interest provided for shall be
automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under
