Section 8.3 Procedures. Procedures.
(a) Third Party Claims. In order for a person (the "indemnified party") to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 7.1 or 7.2 in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any person against the indemnified party (a "Third Party Claim"), such indemnified party must notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Third Party Claim promptly following receipt by such indemnified party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, promptly following the indemnified party's receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim.
(b) Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof by notifying the indemnified party in writing to such effect within 30 days of receipt of the indemnified party's notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent it if, in the indemnified party's reasonable judgment, it is advisable to, in light of the separate interests of the indemnified party, to be represented by separate counsel (including, as applicable, local counsel), and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party and; provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third Parry Claim unless (i) the indemnifying party acknowledges fully the rights of the Indemnified Party (and does not contest, as a whole or in part) the indemnified party's indemnification rights for the Third Party Claim, (ii) the counsel selected by the indemnifying party is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, (iii) the indemnified party is kept informed of all material developments and is furnished copies of all material papers filed or sent to or from the opposing party or parties and (iv) the indemnifying party prosecutes the defense of such Third Party Claim with commercially reasonable diligence in a manner which does not materially prejudice the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying party does not give timely notice in accordance with the preceding sentence, the indemnifying party shall be deemed to have given notice that it does not wish to control the handling of such Third Party Claim. In the event the indemnifying party elects (by notice in writing within such 30 day period) to assume the defense of or otherwise control the handling of any such Third Party Claim for which indemnity is sought, the indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all reasonable professional fees (including attorneys' fees, accountants, consultants and engineering fees) and investigation expenses incurred by the indemnified party prior to such election, notwithstanding the fact that the indemnifying party may not have been so liable to the indemnified party had the indemnifying party not elected to assume the defense of or to otherwise control the handling of such Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense in accordance with this Section 8.3(b), the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the indemnified party that the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.
(c) If the indemnifying party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party's request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
(d) Other Claims. In the event any indemnified party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Section 8.1 or 8.2 that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such indemnified party, the indemnified party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying party. The failure by any indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to such indemnified party under Section 8.1 or 8.2, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that it has been actually prejudiced by such failure. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party within 20 calendar days following its receipt of such notice that the indemnifying party disputes its liability to the indemnified party under Section 8.1 or 8.2, such claim specified by the indemnified party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the indemnifying party under Section 8.1 or 8.2 and the indemnifying party shall pay the amount of such liability to the indemnified party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.

The Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom the Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided (i) the Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company after such assignment, (ii) the Company is furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee, (iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the "Purchaser," and, if such transferee (or the group of which such transferee is a part) would be the Principal Holder, the provisions hereof that apply to the "Principal Holder," (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement and with all laws applicable thereto; (vi) the Purchaser's rights under Sections 5.9, 5.10, 5.19, 5.20, 5.24 and 5.28 may not be assigned except to a transferee (or group) that would constitute the Principal Holder and any such assignment shall be an assignment in part and the Purchaser shall retain such rights with respect to any Securities retained by the Purchaser; and (vii) the Purchaser's rights under Section 5.11 may not be assigned except as a whole (and not in part) to a transferee (or group) that would constitute the Principal Holder.
Section 9.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that the Purchaser Indemnified Person is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 8.1 and each Company Indemnified Person is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 8.2, and (in each case) may enforce the provisions of such Sections directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.
Section 9.10 Rescission and Withdrawal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option owed to the Purchaser by the Company under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then, prior to the performance by the Company of the Company's related obligation, the Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election as a whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
Section 9.11 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any losses in connection therewith. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
Section 9.12 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser hereunder or the Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company by a trustee, receiver or any other person under any Law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Section 9.13 Further Assurances. Each party will do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and will execute and deliver all other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as another party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 9.14 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement is deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
Section 9.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein including recovery of damages, each of the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
Section 9.16 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this agreement shall survive the First Tranche Closing and, if applicable, the Second Tranche Closing.

The Company agrees to consider, in good faith, the recommendations of the Fund or the Fund’s designated representatives in connection with the matters on which the Fund is consulted as described above, recognizing that the ultimate discretion with respect to all such matters shall be retained by the Company.
In addition, if at any time the Fund does not have a contractual right (or elects to waive such contractual right) to designate a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), the Fund shall have the right to appoint a representative to attend meetings of the Board in a non-voting capacity (an “Observer”), to change the Observer so appointed at any time upon 15 days prior written notice to the Board and, upon the resignation of the Observer for any reason, to appoint a new Observer upon written notice to the Board. Further, the Company shall provide any such Observer with a copy of any materials to be distributed or discussed at such meetings at the same time as provided to members of the Board.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company reserves the right to exclude the Fund and the Fund’s designated representatives (other than those that may otherwise serve on the Board) from access to any material or portion thereof if
and only to the extent the Company believes upon advice of counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege of the Company or its subsidiaries, to protect highly confidential proprietary information (unless the Fund and the Fund’s designated representatives enter into a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company) or for substantially similar reasons.
The Fund agrees, and any representative of the Fund will agree, to hold in confidence pursuant to Section 5.27 of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 4, 2008 by and between the Company and the Fund, any confidential information provided to or learned by it in connection with its rights under this letter.
The rights described herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (a) at such time as no shares of the Company’s common stock (or securities convertible or exerciseable for the Company’s common stock) are held by the Fund or its affiliates; or (b) upon the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company that is effected (i) for independent business reasons unrelated to extinguishing such rights and (ii) for purposes other than (A) the reincorporation of the Company in a different state or (B) the formation of a holding company that will be owned exclusively by the Company’s stockholders and will hold all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company’s successor. The confidentiality obligations referenced herein will survive any such termination.
The rights described herein are granted in consideration of the Fund’s investment in the Company on or around the date hereof.
Our signatures below indicate our assent to the terms of this letter agreement as of the date set forth above.
