No objections based on or involving the question whether such charges meet the definitionof “Expenses,” including any question regarding the reasonableness of such Expenses, shall begrounds for failure to advance to such Indemnitee, or to reimburse such Indemnitee for, the amountclaimed within such three business day period, and the undertaking of Indemnitee set forth in thisSection 7 to repay any such amount to the extent it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is notentitled to indemnification shall be deemed to include an undertaking to repay any such amountsdetermined not to have met such definition.     (b) Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay to the MLP and the Company (i) any advances orpayment of Expenses made pursuant to this Section 7 and (ii) any judgments, penalties, fines andsettlements paid to or on behalf of Indemnitee hereunder, in each case to the extent that it isultimately determined in a final judgment or other final adjudication of a court of competentjurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

The right to indemnification or advances as provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable byIndemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction.
