and judgments) or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and

party that is obligated to provide the indemnification (the "Indemnifying
Party") as soon as reasonably possible. If, after such notice, the Indemnifying
Party acknowledges that this Agreement applies with respect to such Claim, then
the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, in a notice promptly
delivered to the Indemnified Party to immediately take control of the defense
and investigation of such Claim and to employ and engage attorneys reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, at the
Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall
cooperate, at the Indemnifying Party's cost, in all reasonable respects with the

Indemnified Party, (1) the parties shall cooperate to ensure that timely and
adequate defense of the Claim is provided, (2) all costs shall initially be
shared equally and (3) the parties shall submit the dispute to the dispute

behalf under any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor's relief law, and such
proceedings have not been vacated or set aside within 60 days from the date of

                  13.03 No Waiver. The election of either party to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.01 or Section 13.02 shall not serve to
waive, limit, bar or otherwise extinguish any rights that party may have to

this Agreement up to the date of termination, subject to the provisions of
