defend and hold harmless each Indemnitee:

 

(i)            from and against any and all

indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee under this Section 2(a) in respect
of any claim made against the Indemnitee by any of its own directors, officers,
partners, members, stockholders, employees, agents, advisors, consultants,
representatives and controlling persons (any of the foregoing, a “Related
Person”) to the extent arising from any obligation of such Indemnitee to
such Related Person (whether arising from contract, by law or otherwise).

 

(b)           Without
in any way limiting the foregoing Section 2(a), each of the Indemnifying
Parties agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
each Indemnitee from and against any and all Obligations resulting from,
arising out of or in connection with, based upon or relating to liabilities
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable securities
or other laws, rules or regulations in connection with (i) the
inaccuracy or breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant

statements therein not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Indemnifying Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee from
and against any such Obligation to the extent that such Obligation arises out
of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission made in such Related
Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company Entities, as the case may be, in an instrument duly executed by
such Indemnitee and specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation
of such Related Document.

 

3.             Contribution.

 

(a)           Except
to the extent that Section 3(b) is applicable, if for any reason the indemnity
provided for in Section 2(a) is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless
any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations covered by such indemnity, then the
Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Obligation in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of
each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the
other, in connection with the state of facts giving rise to such Obligation, (ii) if
such Obligation results from, arises out of, is based upon or relates to the
Transactions or any Securities Offering, the relative benefits received by each
member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the
other,

 

6

 

from such Transaction or
Securities Offering and (iii) if required by applicable law, any other
relevant equitable considerations.

 

(b)           If
for any reason the indemnity specifically provided for in Section 2(b) is
unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee from any of the
Obligations covered by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly
and severally, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnitee as a result of such Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect (i) the relative fault of each of the members of the
Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, in
connection with the information contained in or omitted from any Related
Document, which inclusion or omission resulted in the inaccuracy or breach of
or default under any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement therein,
or which information is or is alleged to be untrue, required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the
relative benefits received by the members of the Company Group, on the one
hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or Securities
Offering and (iii) if required by applicable law, any other
relevant equitable considerations.

 

(c)           For
purposes of Section 3(a), the relative fault of each member of the Company
Group, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other, shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, their respective relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct the state
of facts giving rise to such Obligation. For purposes of Section 3(b), the
relative fault of each of the members of the Company Group, on the one hand,
and of the Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, (i) whether the included or omitted information
relates to information supplied by the members of the Company Group, on the one
hand, or by such Indemnitee, on the other, (ii) their respective
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
such inaccuracy, breach, default, untrue or alleged untrue statement, or
omission or alleged omission, and (iii) applicable law. For
purposes of Section 3(a) or 3(b), the relative benefits received by each member
of the Company Group, on the one hand, and the Indemnitee, on the other, shall
be determined by weighing the direct monetary proceeds to the Company Group, on
the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or
Securities Offering.

 

(d)           The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in such respective Section. The
Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable under Section 3(a) or 3(b), as
applicable, for contribution to the amount paid or payable by any Indemnitee
except to the extent and under such circumstances any Indemnifying Party would
have been liable to indemnify, defend and hold harmless such Indemnitee under
the corresponding Section 2(a) or 2(b), as applicable, if such indemnity

 

7

 

were enforceable under
applicable law. No Indemnitee shall be entitled to contribution from any
Indemnifying Party with respect to any Obligation covered by the indemnity
specifically provided for in Section 2(b) in the event that such Indemnitee is
finally determined to be guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such
Obligation and the Indemnifying Parties are not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

 

4.             Indemnification
Procedures.

 

(a)           Whenever
any Indemnitee shall have actual knowledge of the reasonable likelihood of the
assertion of a Claim, Manager (acting on its own behalf or, if requested by any
such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such Indemnitee) or such
Indemnitee shall notify the appropriate member of the Company Group in writing
of the Claim (the “Notice of Claim”) with reasonable promptness after
such Indemnitee has such knowledge relating to such Claim and has notified
Manager thereof. The Notice of Claim shall specify all material facts known to
Manager (or if given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) that may give rise to
such Claim and the monetary amount or an estimate of the monetary amount of the
Obligation involved if Manager (or if given by such Indemnitee, such
Indemnitee) has knowledge of such amount or a reasonable basis for making such
an estimate. The failure of Manager to give such Notice of Claim shall not
relieve any Indemnifying Party of its respective indemnification obligations
under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a
failure of actual notice to it and it is materially injured as a result of the
failure to give such Notice of Claim. The Indemnifying Parties shall, at their
expense, undertake the defense of such Claim with attorneys of their own
choosing reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Manager. Manager may
participate in such defense with counsel of Manager’s choosing at the expense
of the Indemnifying Parties. In the event that none of the Indemnifying Parties
undertake the defense of the Claim within a reasonable time after Manager has
given the Notice of Claim, or in the event that Manager shall in good faith
determine that the defense of any claim by the Indemnifying Parties is
inadequate or may conflict with the interest of any Indemnitee, Manager may, at
the expense of the Indemnifying Parties and after giving notice to the
Indemnifying Parties of such action, undertake the defense of the Claim and
compromise or settle the Claim, all for the account of and at the risk of the
Indemnifying Parties. In the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Parties
shall not, except with the prior written consent of Manager, consent to entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement that includes any injunctive or
other non-monetary relief, or that does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the Person or Persons asserting such Claim to such
Indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect to such Claim. In each
case, Manager and each other Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder will
cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties, so long as the Indemnifying Parties
are conducting the defense of the Claim, in the preparation for and the
prosecution of the defense of such Claim, including making available evidence
within the control of Manager or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, and
persons needed as witnesses who

 

8

 

are employed by Manager
or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, in each case as reasonably needed for
such defense and at cost, which cost, to the extent reasonably incurred, shall
be paid by the Indemnifying Parties.

 

(b)           The
Indemnifying Parties hereby agree to advance reasonable costs and expenses,
including attorney’s fees, incurred by Manager (acting on its own behalf or, if
requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such
Indemnitee) or any Indemnitee in defending any Claim in advance of the final
disposition of such Claim upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
Manager or such Indemnitee to repay amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately
be determined that Manager or such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
by any Indemnifying Party as authorized by this Agreement.

 

(c)           Manager
shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the amount of any Claim
actually paid by Manager (the “Notice of Payment”). The amount of any
Claim actually paid by Manager shall bear simple interest at the rate equal to
the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. prime rate as of the date of such payment plus 2%
per annum, from the date any Indemnifying Party receives the Notice of Payment
to the date on which any Indemnifying Party shall repay the amount of such
Claim plus interest thereon to Manager.

 

5.             Certain
Covenants. The rights of each Indemnitee to be indemnified under any other
agreement, document, certificate or instrument or applicable law are
independent of and in addition to any rights of such Indemnitee to be
indemnified under this Agreement. The rights of each Indemnitee and the
obligations of each Indemnifying Party hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnitee.
Following the Transactions, each of the Company Entities, and each of their
corporate successors, shall implement and maintain in full force and effect any
and all corporate charter and by-law provisions that may be necessary or
appropriate to enable it to carry out its obligations hereunder to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation a provision of
its certificate of incorporation (or comparable organizational document under
its jurisdiction of incorporation) eliminating liability of a director for
breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as
amended from time to time.

11

direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and assets of such
Indemnifying Party, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Manager,
the Fund, the Other Investors and their counsel, expressly to assume and agree
to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that such
Indemnifying Party would be required to perform if no such succession had taken
place. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns, and each other Indemnitee,
but neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder
shall be assigned, whether by operation of law or otherwise, by the Company
Entities without the prior written consent of Manager, the Fund and the Other
Investors.

 

10.           Miscellaneous.
The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This
Agreement is not intended to confer any right or remedy hereunder upon any
Person other than each of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns and each other Indemnitee. No amendment, modification,
supplement or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder shall be
valid and binding

 

12

 

unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party or other
Indemnitee against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, supplement
or discharge is sought. Neither the waiver by any of the parties hereto or any
other Indemnitee of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of
this Agreement, nor the failure by any party hereto or any other Indemnitee on
one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to
exercise any right, powers or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a
waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of
any provisions hereof, or any rights, powers or privileges hereunder. The
rights, indemnities and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights, indemnities or remedies that any party or other
Indemnitee may otherwise have by contract, at law or in equity or otherwise. This
Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

Agreement”) to acquire all of the capital stock of Hertz from Ford Holdings
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Ford Motor

agreements with respect to, among other things, the management of the Company
and transfers of its shares in various circumstances.

E.             Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Company has entered into Consulting Agreements with each of the
Investor Managers (or their Affiliates), dated as of the date hereof (as the
same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms and the
Stockholders Agreement, the “Consulting Agreements”).

F.             In order to finance the Acquisition and related
transactions, the Company is selling shares of its common stock, par value
US$0.01 per share (“Shares”), to the Committing Investors, including the
Fund, and to certain co-investors, including the Other Investors and such other
stockholders of the Company as are listed in the signature pages of the
Stockholders Agreement or as otherwise become stockholders of the Company prior

the Consulting Agreement) for the Company.

I.              The Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries from
time to time in the future may (i) offer and sell or cause to be offered
and sold equity or debt securities (such offerings, collectively, the “Subsequent
Offerings”), including without limitation (a) offerings of shares of
capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and/or options to
purchase such shares to employees, directors, managers, dealers, franchisees
and consultants of and to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (any such
offering, a “Management Offering”), and (b) one or more offerings
of debt securities for the purpose of refinancing any indebtedness of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for other corporate purposes, and (ii)
repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire certain securities of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or engage in recapitalization or structural
reorganization transactions relating thereto (any such repurchase, redemption,
acquisition, recapitalization or reorganization, a “Redemption”), in
each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement and
any other applicable agreement.

J.             The parties hereto recognize the possibility that claims
might be made against and liabilities incurred by Manager, the Fund, the Other

indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee under this Section 2(a) in respect

partners, members, stockholders, employees, agents, advisors, consultants,
representatives and controlling persons (any of the foregoing, a “Related
Person”) to the extent arising from any obligation of such Indemnitee to
such Related Person (whether arising from contract, by law or otherwise).

(b)           Without
in any way limiting the foregoing Section 2(a), each of the Indemnifying
Parties agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
each Indemnitee from and against any and all Obligations resulting from,
arising out of or in connection with, based upon or relating to liabilities
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable securities
or other laws, rules or regulations in connection with (i) the
inaccuracy or breach of or default under any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement in any Related Document, (ii) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Related Document
or (iii) any omission or alleged omission to state in any Related
Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be
obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee from and against any such Obligation to
the extent that such Obligation arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or omission made in such Related Document in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company Entities, as the
case may be, in an instrument duly executed by such Indemnitee and specifically
stating that it is for use in the preparation of such Related Document.

3.             Contribution.

(a)           Except
to the extent that Section 3(b) is applicable, if for any reason the indemnity
provided for in Section 2(a) is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless
any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations covered by such indemnity, then the
Indemnifying Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Obligation in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative fault of
each member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the
other, in connection with the state of facts giving rise to such Obligation, (ii) if
such Obligation results from, arises out of, is based upon or relates to the
Transactions or any Securities Offering, the relative benefits received by each
member of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the
other,

6

from
such Transaction or Securities Offering and (iii) if required by
applicable law, any other relevant equitable considerations.

(b)           If
for any reason the indemnity specifically provided for in Section 2(b) is unavailable
or is insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnitee from any of the Obligations
covered by such indemnity, then the Indemnifying Parties, jointly and
severally, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as
a result of such Obligation in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the
relative fault of each of the members of the Company Group, on the one hand,
and such Indemnitee, on the other, in connection with the information contained
in or omitted from any Related Document, which inclusion or omission resulted
in the inaccuracy or breach of or default under any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement therein, or which information is or is alleged to be
untrue, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, (ii) the relative benefits received by the
members of the Company Group, on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the
other, from such Transaction or Securities Offering and (iii) if
required by applicable law, any other relevant equitable considerations.

(c)           For
purposes of Section 3(a), the relative fault of each member of the Company
Group, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other, shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, their respective relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct the state
of facts giving rise to such Obligation. 
For purposes of Section 3(b), the relative fault of each of the members
of the Company Group, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other,
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, (i) whether
the included or omitted information relates to information supplied by the
members of the Company Group, on the one hand, or by such Indemnitee, on the
other, (ii) their respective relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct such inaccuracy, breach, default, untrue
or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, and (iii) applicable
law.  For purposes of Section 3(a) or
3(b), the relative benefits received by each member of the Company Group, on
the one hand, and the Indemnitee, on the other, shall be determined by weighing
the direct monetary proceeds to the Company Group, on the one hand, and such
Indemnitee, on the other, from such Transaction or Securities Offering.

(d)           The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in such respective Section.  The Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable
under Section 3(a) or 3(b), as applicable, for contribution to the amount paid
or payable by any Indemnitee except to the extent and under such circumstances
any Indemnifying Party would have been liable to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless such Indemnitee under the corresponding Section 2(a) or 2(b), as
applicable, if such indemnity

7

were
enforceable under applicable law.  No
Indemnitee shall be entitled to contribution from any Indemnifying Party with
respect to any Obligation covered by the indemnity specifically provided for in
Section 2(b) in the event that such Indemnitee is finally determined to be
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such Obligation
and the Indemnifying Parties are not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

4.             Indemnification
Procedures.

(a)           Whenever
any Indemnitee shall have actual knowledge of the reasonable likelihood of the
assertion of a Claim, Manager (acting on its own behalf or, if requested by any
such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such Indemnitee) or such
Indemnitee shall notify the appropriate member of the Company Group in writing
of the Claim (the “Notice of Claim”) with reasonable promptness after
such Indemnitee has such knowledge relating to such Claim and has notified Manager
thereof.  The Notice of Claim shall
specify all material facts known to Manager (or if given by such Indemnitee,
such Indemnitee) that may give rise to such Claim and the monetary amount or an
estimate of the monetary amount of the Obligation involved if Manager (or if
given by such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee) has knowledge of such amount or a
reasonable basis for making such an estimate. 
The failure of Manager to give such Notice of Claim shall not relieve
any Indemnifying Party of its respective indemnification obligations under this
Agreement except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of
actual notice to it and it is materially injured as a result of the failure to
give such Notice of Claim.  The
Indemnifying Parties shall, at their expense, undertake the defense of such
Claim with attorneys of their own choosing reasonably satisfactory in all
respects to Manager.  Manager may
participate in such defense with counsel of Manager’s choosing at the expense
of the Indemnifying Parties.  In the
event that none of the Indemnifying Parties undertake the defense of the Claim
within a reasonable time after Manager has given the Notice of Claim, or in the
event that Manager shall in good faith determine that the defense of any claim
by the Indemnifying Parties is inadequate or may conflict with the interest of
any Indemnitee, Manager may, at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties and
after giving notice to the Indemnifying Parties of such action, undertake the
defense of the Claim and compromise or settle the Claim, all for the account of
and at the risk of the Indemnifying Parties. 
In the defense of any Claim, the Indemnifying Parties shall not, except
with the prior written consent of Manager, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement that includes any injunctive or other non-monetary
relief, or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the Person or Persons asserting such Claim to such Indemnitee of a release from
all liability with respect to such Claim. 
In each case, Manager and each other Indemnitee seeking indemnification
hereunder will cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties, so long as the
Indemnifying Parties are conducting the defense of the Claim, in the
preparation for and the prosecution of the defense of such Claim, including
making available evidence within the control of Manager or such Indemnitee, as
the case may be, and persons needed as witnesses who 

8

are
employed by Manager or such Indemnitee, as the case may be, in each case as
reasonably needed for such defense and at cost, which cost, to the extent
reasonably incurred, shall be paid by the Indemnifying Parties.

(b)           The
Indemnifying Parties hereby agree to advance reasonable costs and expenses,
including attorney’s fees, incurred by Manager (acting on its own behalf or, if
requested by any such Indemnitee other than itself, on behalf of such
Indemnitee) or any Indemnitee in defending any Claim in advance of the final
disposition of such Claim upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
Manager or such Indemnitee to repay amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately
be determined that Manager or such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
by any Indemnifying Party as authorized by this Agreement.

(c)           Manager
shall notify the Indemnifying Parties in writing of the amount of any Claim
actually paid by Manager (the “Notice of Payment”).  The amount of any Claim actually paid by
Manager shall bear simple interest at the rate equal to the JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A. prime rate as of the date of such payment plus 2% per annum, from
the date any Indemnifying Party receives the Notice of Payment to the date on
which any Indemnifying Party shall repay the amount of such Claim plus interest
thereon to Manager.

5.             Certain
Covenants.  The rights of each
Indemnitee to be indemnified under any other agreement, document, certificate
or instrument or applicable law are independent of and in addition to any
rights of such Indemnitee to be indemnified under this Agreement.  The rights of each Indemnitee and the
obligations of each Indemnifying Party hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Indemnitee.  Following the Transactions,
each of the Company Entities, and each of their corporate successors, shall
implement and maintain in full force and effect any and all corporate charter
and by-law provisions that may be necessary or appropriate to enable it to
carry out its obligations hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, including without limitation a provision of its certificate of
incorporation (or comparable organizational document under its jurisdiction of
incorporation) eliminating liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as amended from time to
time.

6.             Notices.  All notices and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by certified or registered

7.             Governing
Law; Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial. 
This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including validity,
interpretation and effect, by the law of the State of New York, regardless of
the law that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws to the
extent such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of
another jurisdiction.  Each of the
parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees that any
legal suit, action or proceeding brought by any party hereto arising out of or
based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be
brought in any court of the State of New York or Federal District Court for the
Southern District of New York located in the City, County and State of New York
(each, a “New York Court”), (b) waives, to the fullest
extent that it may effectively do so, any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding brought in a New
York Court, and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in a New
York Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (c) submits
to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York Court in any suit, action or
proceeding and (d) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY
ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT
ISSUES, AND THEREFORE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF
THIS AGREEMENT.  With respect to clause
(d) of the immediately preceding sentence, each of the parties hereto
acknowledges and certifies that (i) no representative, agent or attorney
of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other
party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the waiver
contained therein, (ii) it understands and has considered the
implications of such waiver, (iii) it makes such waiver voluntarily and
(iv) it has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other
things, the mutual waivers and certifications contained in this Section 7.

8.             Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this
Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any
way be affected or impaired thereby.

12

9.             Successors;
Binding Effect.  Each Indemnifying
Party will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all
of the business and assets of such Indemnifying Party, by agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Manager, the Fund, the Other Investors and their
counsel, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that such Indemnifying Party would be required to
perform if no such succession had taken place. 
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
party hereto and its successors and permitted assigns, and each other
Indemnitee, but neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation
hereunder shall be assigned, whether by operation of law or otherwise, by the
Company Entities without the prior written consent of Manager, the Fund and the
Other Investors.

10.           Miscellaneous.  The headings contained in this Agreement are
for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.  This
Agreement is not intended to confer any right or remedy hereunder upon any
Person other than each of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns and each other Indemnitee.  No amendment, modification, supplement or
discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder shall be valid and binding
unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party or other Indemnitee
against whom enforcement of the amendment, modification, supplement or
discharge is sought.  Neither the waiver
by any of the parties hereto or any other Indemnitee of a breach of or a
default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any
party hereto or any other Indemnitee on one or more occasions, to enforce any
of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right, powers or
privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or
default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any provisions hereof, or any
rights, powers or privileges hereunder. 
The rights, indemnities and remedies herein provided are cumulative and
are not exclusive of any rights, indemnities or remedies that any party or
other Indemnitee may otherwise have by contract, at law or in equity or
otherwise.  This Agreement may be
executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
