- 3 - 

indemnification to the Corporation. Any request for indemnification shall include sufficient documentation or information reasonably available to Indemnitee to support his claim forindemnification.

The President or the Secretary or other appropriate officer of theCorporation shall, promptly upon receipt of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors of the Corporation in writing that Indemnitee has made such request. Determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement toindemnification shall be made not later than sixty (60) days after the Corporation’s receipt of his written request for such indemnification; if no determination has been made in such 60-day period, the Corporation shall be deemed to haveapproved the request. 

(b) The Indemnitee shall be entitled to select the forum in which Indemnitee’s request forindemnification will be heard, which selection shall be included in the written request for indemnification required in Section 6(a). The forum shall be any one of the following: 

(i) The Disinterested Directors who are members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; or 

(ii) A panel of three arbitrators, one selected by the Corporation, another by Indemnitee and the third by the first two arbitratorsselected. If for any reason three arbitrators are not selected within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the first arbitrator, then selection of additional arbitrators shall be made by the American Arbitration Association. If anyarbitrator resigns or is unable to serve in such capacity for any reason, the American Arbitration Association shall select such arbitrator’s replacement. The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of theAmerican Arbitration Association now in effect. 

If Indemnitee fails to make such designation, his claim shall be determined by the SupremeCourt of the State of New York, County of New York, which shall apply Delaware Law as provided in Section 17 below. 

(c)Upon making a request for indemnification, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching any contrary determination.The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, arbitration award or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not affect this presumption or, except as provided in Section 2 or 4 hereof,establish a presumption with regard to any factual matter relevant to determining Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification hereunder. 

(d) Upon making a request for indemnification with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, which under this Agreement or applicable Delaware law requires a determination ofIndemnitee’s good faith, or that Indemnitee’s action did not constitute gross negligence, Indemnitee shall be presumed to have acted in good faith

 

- 4 - 

and/or without gross negligence, and the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching any contrary determination, if the Indemnitee’s action is basedon the records or books of account, including financial statements, of the Corporation and/or any Related Entity, or on information supplied to the Indemnitee by the officers of the Corporation and/or any Related Entity in the course of theirduties, or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation and/or any Related Entity by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation and/or RelatedEntity. The provisions of this Section 6(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have acted in good faith and/or without gross negligence. 

7. **Fees and Expenses of Forum**. The Corporation shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses in connection with the forumselected to determine Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement. If a panel of three arbitrators is retained to make such a determination, the Corporation shall fully indemnify such panel ofarbitrators against any and all expenses and losses incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to this Agreement or their engagement pursuant hereto, except with respect to expenses and losses resulting from the gross negligence or willfulmisconduct of such persons. If a determination pursuant to Section 6 hereof is made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall pay the Expenses of Indemnitee incurred in connection with any Proceeding to determine hisentitlement to such indemnification. 

8. **Remedies of Indemnitee**. 

(a) In the event that (i) a determination pursuant to Section 6 hereof is made that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification,(ii) advances of Expenses are not timely made pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) payment is not timely made following a determination of entitlement to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, or (iv) Indemnitee otherwise seeksenforcement of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to a final adjudication in any court of competent jurisdiction of his rights.

(b) In the event that a determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, in whole or in part, has been made pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the decision in the judicial proceedingprovided in paragraph (a) of this Section 8 shall be made de novo and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of a determination that he is not entitled to indemnification. 

(c) If a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification has been made pursuant to Section 6 hereof or otherwise pursuantto the terms of this Agreement, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in the absence of (i) a misrepresentation of a material fact by Indemnitee or (ii) a specific finding (which has become final) by a court of competentjurisdiction that all or any part of such indemnification is expressly prohibited by Delaware law.
