pro-rata as commitment proceeds are drawn.

By its acceptance of this Commitment Letter, the Company agrees to pay,
indemnify and hold SBA harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to or
