SECTION 7. Miscellaneous.

        7.1   Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and the Lenders and their respective officers, employees, agents, attorneys and representatives (singularly, an "Indemnified Party", and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to Agent or the Lenders, including all local counsel hired by such counsel) ("Claim") incurred by Agent or the Lenders in investigating or preparing for, defending against, or providing evidence, producing documents or taking any other action in respect of any commenced or threatened litigation, administrative proceeding or investigation under any federal securities law, federal or state environmental law, or any other statute of any jurisdiction, or any regulation, or at common law or otherwise, which is alleged to arise out of or is based upon any acts, practices or omissions or alleged acts, practices or omissions of the Borrower or its agents or arises in connection with the duties, obligations or performance of the Indemnified Parties in negotiating, preparing, executing, accepting, keeping, completing, countersigning, issuing, selling, delivering, releasing, assigning, handling, certifying, processing or receiving or taking any other action with respect to the Loan Documents and all

4


documents, items and materials contemplated thereby even if any of the foregoing arises out of an Indemnified Party's ordinary negligence. The indemnity set forth herein shall be in addition to any other obligations or liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder or at common law or otherwise, and shall survive any termination of this Second Amendment, the expiration of the Loan and the payment of all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder and under the Notes, provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation under this Section 7.1 to the Lenders with respect to any of the foregoing arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lenders. If any Claim is asserted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall endeavor to notify the Borrower of such Claim (but failure to do so shall not affect the indemnification herein made except to the extent of the actual harm caused by such failure). The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ, at the Borrower's expense, counsel of the Indemnified Parties' choosing and to control the defense of the Claim. The Borrower may at its own expense also participate in the defense of any Claim. Each Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel in connection with any Claim to the extent such Indemnified Party believes it reasonably prudent to protect such Indemnified Party. The parties intend for the provisions of this Section 7.1 to apply to and protect each Indemnified Party from the consequences of strict liability imposed or threatened to be imposed on any Indemnified Party as well as from the consequences of its own negligence, whether or not that negligence is the sole, contributing, or concurring cause of any Claim, but not from any portion of such Claim arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party.

        7.2   Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. However, this Second Amendment shall bind no party until the Borrower, the Agent and Majority Lenders have executed a counterpart. Facsimiles shall be effective as originals.

        7.3   WRITTEN CREDIT AGREEMENT. THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN AND AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN AND AMONG THE PARTIES.

        7.4   No Impairment. The Borrower confirms and agrees that (a) neither the execution of this Second Amendment nor any other Loan Document nor the consummation of the transactions described herein and therein shall in any way effect, impair or limit the covenants, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Borrower under the Loan Documents and (b) the obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents continue in full force and effect.
