Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent of any
liability caused by any of the Lender Parties’ gross negligence or willful
misconduct, with the foregoing indemnity and hold harmless agreement by Borrower
in favor of Lender to survive the termination of this Agreement and payment and
