after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7.2 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the Guarantor under this Section 7.2, notify the
Guarantor in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify
the Guarantor (i) will not relieve the Guarantor from liability under paragraph
(a) above unless and to the extent that the Guarantor did not otherwise learn
of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the Guarantor of
substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the
Guarantor from any obligations to any Indemnified Person other than the
indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) above.&#160; The Guarantor shall be entitled to appoint
counsel of the Guarantor&#146;s choice at the Guarantor&#146;s expense to represent the
Indemnified Person in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which
case the Guarantor shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and
expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Persons
except as set forth below); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that such counsel
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the
Guarantor&#146;s election to appoint counsel to represent the Guarantor in an
action, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel
(including local counsel), and the Guarantor shall bear the reasonable fees,
costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by
the Guarantor to represent the Indemnified Person would present such counsel
with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or
targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the
Guarantor and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Person(s) which
are different from or additional to those available to the Guarantor, (iii) the
Guarantor shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after
notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the Guarantor shall authorize
the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
Guarantor. The Guarantor will not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Persons, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Persons are actual or potential
parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent
includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liability
arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.</font></p>
