Indemnifying Party shall be released from all liability with respect to claims under each such section not theretofore made by the Indemnified Party. No right of indemnity against any claim of a third
party shall arise from any representation, warranty or covenant of an Indemnifying Party herein contained, unless such third-party claim is filed or lodged against the Indemnified Party on or prior to
the expiration of the applicable period of survival provided above, and all other conditions hereunder are satisfied. A claim shall be made or commenced hereunder by the Indemnified Party delivering
to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the amount claimed (if known or reasonably estimable), and the factual basis for the claim. </FONT></P>

not the Purchaser or any such other party indemnified under this clause is a formal party to any such lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The foregoing provisions are expressly intended to cover
reimbursement of legal and other expenses incurred in a deposition or other discovery proceeding. (ii)&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing clause&nbsp;(i), the Company shall not be liable to any
party otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant thereto: (A)&nbsp;in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent the same is determined, in final judgment by a court
having jurisdiction, to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party or (B)&nbsp;for any settlement effected by such party without the written consent of the Company,

proceeding is begun, made or instituted as a result of which the Indemnifying Party may become obligated to the Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnified Party agrees to notify the Indemnifying
Party promptly and to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, to the extent reasonably necessary for the resolution of such claim or in the defense of such suit,
action or proceeding, including making available any information, documents and things in the possession of the Indemnified Party which are reasonably necessary therefor. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding

such settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party may retain one firm of counsel to represent all Indemnified Parties in such claim, action or
proceeding; </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>provided, however</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, that in the event that the defendants in, or targets of, any such claim, action or proceeding include more than one
Indemnified Party, and any Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the opinion of its own counsel, that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are in
conflict with those available to any other Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it or any other person entitled to indemnification and
reimbursement hereunder with respect to any such claim, action or proceeding in which it or such other person may become involved or is named as defendant and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the
reasonable fees and disbursement of such counsel. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party's election to assume the defense or investigation of such claim, action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and to direct the defense or investigation of such claim, action or proceeding if (A)&nbsp;in the written
opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, use of counsel of the Indemnifying Party's choice could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, or (B)&nbsp;the Indemnifying Party
