MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 3.1 INDEMNITY. Each Reaffirming Party agrees to indemnify

misconduct of such Indemnitee (treating, for this purpose only, JPMorgan Chase,
any Lender and its directors, trustees, officers and employees as a single
Indemnitee). The obligations of such Reaffirming Party under this Section shall
be secured hereby and shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of

time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the
credit or the account of any
4
Reaffirming Party against any of and all the obligations of any Reaffirming

such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan
Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of JPMorgan
Chase, each Lender under this Section 3.2 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which JPMorgan Chase or such Lender
may have.

SECTION 3.5 LIABILITY OF JPMORGAN CHASE AND ANY LENDER, ETC. If
any claim is ever made upon JPMorgan Chase or any Lender for repayment or
recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of
the Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said
amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or
administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property
or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee
with any such claimant (including the Borrower or any other obligor in respect
of any Obligation), then and in such event each Reaffirming Party agrees that
any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon
it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any Loan
Document or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower or any
other obligor in respect of any Obligation, and such Reaffirming Party shall be

PARTIES AND JPMORGAN CHASE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY

CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
