Each Investor covenants and agrees, severally ------------------------ and not jointly, to defend, indemnify and save and hold harmless the Company, together with its officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees, trustees, affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 of the SEC under the Act), attorneys and representatives, from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims or legal damages (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants and other costs and expenses incident to any actual or threatened claim, suit, action or proceeding, whether incurred in connection with a claim against any such Investor or a third party claim) (collectively, "Company Losses"), up to the amount of such -------------- Investor's original investment in the Private Placement (as set forth in Schedule A hereto) arising out of or resulting from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Investor in this Agreement, any Additional Agreement or in any writing delivered pursuant to this Agreement or at the Closing; or (ii) the failure of the Investor to perform or observe fully any covenant, agreement or provision to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement or any Additional Agreement.

In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the other party of the commencement thereof, the other party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that such other party may wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from it to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the other party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under Section 9.1 or 9.2 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof nor for any settlement thereof entered into without the consent of the other party; provided, however, that (i) if the other party shall elect not to assume the -------- ------- defense of such claim or action or (ii) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines (x) that there may be a conflict between the positions of the other party and of the Indemnified Party in defending such claim or action or (y) that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those available to the other party, then separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in and conduct the defense, in the case of (i) and (ii)(x), or such different defenses, in the case of (ii)(y), and the other party shall be liable for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense. <PAGE> 9.4. Indemnification Non-Exclusive. The foregoing indemnification ----------------------------- provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common-law remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. 10.
