Additional  Buyers hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify  defend,  and

of the  Buyers  for any  damages  or other  amount or claim of any nature to the
extent  that any such  claim or  claims  result  in a  potential  obligation  or
liability of Seller in excess of the  obligation or liability or amount  thereof
for which  Seller would have been  responsible  or liable in the absence of this
Agreement.

         (e) Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary herein or in the Purchase
