NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing,

1.          Indemnification
and Reimbursement of the Guarantor.


 


(a)          The
Indemnitor, jointly and severally, hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the Guarantor harmless from and against any and all costs,
losses, damages, claims and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and other third-party expenses)
(collectively, “Losses”) incurred by the Guarantor under the Guaranties from and after the date of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any of the foregoing incurred in connection with enforcing this Agreement.


 


(b)          In
the event any sums are paid by the Guarantor under or on account of the Guaranty, the Guarantor shall be entitled to immediate
reimbursement from the Indemnitor for such sum, and any amount so due the Guarantor, if not paid within five days after demand
therefor, shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal
(or if the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a prime rate, then the 14-day moving average closing trading price of 90 day Treasury
bills), plus 2% per annum, such interest accruing daily and compounding monthly.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement for any Losses to the
extent that such Losses are due to the gross negligence, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct, bad faith, misappropriation,
or any criminal act of the Guarantor.


 


2.          In
the event of a claim for indemnity or reimbursement hereunder, the Guarantor shall provide reasonable notice to the Indemnitor
of the existence of any such claim, demand or other matters to which the indemnification obligations hereunder would apply, and
the Guarantor agrees to give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of the same at the Indemnitor’s
own cost and expense and with counsel of the Indemnitor’s own selection.


 


3.          Separate
and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time. No action
hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action. In no event shall any provisions of this Agreement be deemed to be a waiver of
or to be in lieu of any right or claim, including, without limitation, any right of contribution or other right of recovery, that
any party to this Agreement might otherwise have against any other party to this Agreement.


 


4.          If
at any time the Guarantor’s obligation under the Guaranty is terminated, this Agreement will terminate automatically solely
with respect to matters first arising from and after the date of the termination of such obligation under the Guaranty.


 


5.          If
any term of this Agreement or any application thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement
and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby. No delay or omission in exercising any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.


 


6.          The
rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided to the parties
hereto by law or by any other agreement to which the parties hereto are bound.

7.          Except
as expressly set forth in Section 1(c) above, the reimbursement and indemnification obligations of the Indemnitor hereunder
are absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of
the obligations giving rise to the payment of the Losses or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any substitution,
release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any obligation, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense
of a surety or guarantor; it being the intent of the parties hereto that such obligations shall be absolute and unconditional under
any and all circumstances. With respect to its obligations hereunder, except with respect to the notices required by this Agreement,
the Indemnitor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement
that any other party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any person.


 


8.          The
obligations of the Indemnitor hereunder shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment
by or on behalf of the Indemnitor in respect of any obligation hereunder is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by the person
receiving such payment, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.


 


9.          This
Agreement shall be binding upon each of the parties and each party’s respective executors, heirs, successors and assigns
(including without limitation any entity or entities that are their respective corporate, partnership or other successors and assigns)
and shall inure to the benefit of the Guarantor and its successors and assigns.


 


10.         Notices
given hereunder shall be given by postage paid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by recognized national
overnight courier service, to the address of the Indemnitor as set forth on Schedule 1, or to such other address as the
Indemnitor may designate in a writing given in the manner provided in this paragraph.


 


11.         This Agreement
shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of
laws principles.


 


12.         This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes.
