If any suit or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against the Holder, Company, to the extent and in the manner reasonably directed by the Holder, will resist and defend such suit or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel reasonably approved by the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for costs and expenses incurred in connection with documenting this transaction and perfecting its liens, including attorney’s fees, filing fees, and other out of pocket expenses, and any reasonable out of pocket due diligence expenses, including but not limited to site visits, inspection of assets, travel, industry consultants and database access fees not to exceed $20,000. (b) The Company agrees (i) to treat the Note as indebtedness and (ii) not to treat the Note as (x) “contingent payment debt obligations” that have been issued with “original issue discount,” or (y) as accruing any imputed interest, in each case, for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes, and the Company and the Holder shall not take any position inconsistent with such treatment on any tax return, report, form or other document, unless otherwise required by a change in law after the date hereof, a closing agreement with an applicable taxing authority, a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or any other “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code. 6.4 Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, and the partners, members, managers, officers, directors, trustees, advisors, employees and agents of the Holder and each person, if any, who controls the Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any material breach of this Agreement by the Company and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse the Holder, and its partners, members, officers, directors or controlling Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability (collectively, “Loss”) arises out of, or is based upon any breach of this Agreement by the Holder; provided further, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Holder (or any partner, member, officer, director or controlling Person of the Holder) to the extent that any such Loss is caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged
26 untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if either (i) (A) the Holder failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus with or prior to, or the Holder failed to confirm that a final prospectus was deemed to be delivered prior to (in accordance with Rule 172 of the Securities Act), the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Holder to the Person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted and (B) the final prospectus corrected such untrue statement or omission or (ii) (X) such untrue statement or omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus and (Y) having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with copies of the prospectus as so amended or supplemented or notified by the Company that such amended or supplemented prospectus has been filed with the Commission, in accordance with Rule 172 of the Securities Act, the Holder thereafter fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, with or prior to or the Holder fails to confirm that the prospectus as so amended or supplemented was deemed to be delivered prior to (in accordance with Rule 172 of the Securities Act), the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Holder to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted. (b) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 6.4, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expense of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.4 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any Losses referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 6.5 Counterparts; Signatures.
