Section
6.2 Indemnification; Procedures
for Indemnification.
(a) Subject
to the limitations of this Article 6, the Stockholder (an “Indemnifying Party”)
shall indemnify and hold harmless Harbinger and Harbinger’s officers, directors,
employees, agents, successors, assigns and Affiliates (each, an “Indemnified
Party”), and Harbinger (an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Stockholder and the Stockholder’s officers, directors, employees,
agents, successors, assigns and Affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions, judgments, causes of
action, losses of the benefit of the bargain, costs or expenses, including
interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively,
“Losses”) (net of amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party in
indemnification or insurance from third parties) asserted against, resulting
from, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party as a result
of or relating to any breach by any Indemnifying Party of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement.
(b) If
an Indemnified Party receives notice from any third party with respect to any
matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification
against the Indemnifying Party under Section 6.2(a), then the Indemnified Party
shall promptly (but in any event no later than 10 days after receipt of such
notice) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however,
that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the
Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation
under this Article 6 unless (and then solely to the extent that) the
Indemnifying Party is thereby prejudiced.
Page
16 of 25
(c) The
Indemnifying Party shall have the right (except as otherwise provided herein) to
assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice, who
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at any time within 15
days after the Indemnified Party has given notice to the Indemnifying Party of
the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may retain
separate counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of
the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing the Indemnifying
Party shall not be entitled to assume, and the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of any Third-Party
Claim (i) if the Indemnifying Party does not timely assume the defense of such
Third-Party Claim, (ii) if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a
conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment
of the counsel to the Indemnifying Party for the same counsel to represent both
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or (iii) to the extent the
Third-Party Claim seeks an order, injunction, non-monetary or other equitable
relief against the Indemnified Party which, in the reasonable judgment of the
Indemnified Party, if successful, could materially interfere with the business,
operations, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the
Indemnified Party. In any such case, the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the
Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party.
(d) So
long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is conducting the defense of the
Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.2(c), the Indemnifying Party
shall have the sole authority to, and shall be permitted to, consent to the
entry of judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise which the
Indemnifying Party deems appropriate and which will not require any payment by,
or equitable or other relief against, the Indemnified Party, provided that,
without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party
will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement
with respect to any Third-Party Claim that (i) does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each
Indemnified Party of a full release from all liabilities in respect of such
Third-Party Claim, (ii) does contain any admission of wrongdoing by or guilt of
any Indemnified Party or (iii) includes specific performance or any other form
of non-monetary relief to be performed in any part by the Indemnified
Party.
(e) The
Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for his, her or its
reasonable legal and other fees, costs and expenses (including the cost of any
investigation or preparation) relating to any matter for which the Indemnified
Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 reasonably
promptly after bills are received or expenses are incurred.
Section
6.3 Limitations.
(a) The
aggregate liability of the Stockholder, on the one hand, or Harbinger, on the
other hand, pursuant to this Article 6 in respect of breaches of representations
and warranties shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price.
Page
17 of 25
(b) In
no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled under this Article 6 to recover
any punitive, exemplary or other special damages, damages representing lost
profits, revenue, income or opportunities, business interruption, or harm to
reputation, or any similar amounts.
(c) Except
for specific performance and as explicitly provided in the Pledge Agreement,
indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy of the Indemnified Parties against the Indemnifying Parties and their
employees, directors, officers, agents and other representatives in respect of
any breach this Agreement.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section
7.1 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance

performed in such state and without regard to the conflicts or choice of law

agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other

Section
7.4 Further
Assurances. Each of the Parties shall, upon request of another Party,
execute and deliver to the requesting Party and to the Collateral Agent any
additional documents and take such further actions (including delivering
instructions to any depositary or securities intermediary or the Company) as the
requesting Party or the Collateral Agent may deem to be necessary or desirable

Agreement.
Page
19 of 25
Section
7.5 Specific
Performance. The Stockholder acknowledges that it will be impossible
to measure in money the damages to Harbinger if the Stockholder fails to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement, and that, in the event of any such
failure, Harbinger will not have an adequate remedy at
law. Accordingly, the Stockholder agrees that injunctive or other
equitable relief, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is an appropriate
remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on
the basis that Harbinger has an adequate remedy at law. The
Stockholder agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement
for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with Harbinger’s seeking or
obtaining such equitable relief.
Section
7.6 Assignments. This
Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors, and permitted assigns. No Party will assign any rights or
delegate any obligations hereunder without the consent of the other Parties,
other than in the case of Harbinger, which shall have the right to assign any or
all of its rights and/or delegate its obligations to any fund affiliated with
Harbinger Master or Harbinger Special. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended to or will confer any
rights or remedies on any Person other than the Parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
Section
7.7 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed and delivered will be an original, but all of which together
will constitute one and the same agreement. In pleading or proving
this Agreement, it will not be necessary to produce or account for more than one
such counterpart. Facsimile and PDF signatures hereto shall be deemed
to be of the same force and effect as originals.
Section
7.8 Waivers. No waiver
of any breach or default hereunder will be valid unless in a writing signed by
the waiving Party. No failure or other delay by any Party in
exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will be or operate as a
waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
Section
7.9 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the Pledge Agreement contains the
entire understanding and agreement between the Stockholder, on the one side, and
Harbinger, on the other side, and supersedes any prior understandings or
agreements between the Stockholder, on the one side, and Harbinger, on the other
side, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Section
7.10 Amendments in Writing. This
Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except by a writing duly
executed by all of the Parties.
Section
7.11 Legal Fees. Each of the
Parties acknowledges and agrees that such Party is responsible for bearing and
paying its own legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with negotiating,
executing and implementing this Agreement. Nothing in this Section
7.11 shall preclude a Party from making a claim for or recovering legal expenses
incurred in connection with enforcement of its rights and remedies under this
Agreement in a court of law or other legal proceeding, arbitration or
mediation.
