of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity
agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Backstop Investor Party against
the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
