ANNEX A

In connection with BO’s engagement to advise and to assist the Company pursuant to the Agreement dated December 2008 to which this Annex A is attached, the Company agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless BO (hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnified Party”), to the full extent allowed by law or equity, from and against any and all judgments, losses, claims (whether or not valid), damages, costs, fees, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which an Indemnified Party may become subject, related to or arising out of BO’s engagement or performance under the Agreement, the transaction contemplated thereby, the services rendered by BO under the Agreement, or any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation, proceeding or action in any court of before any regulatory, administrative or other body relating to any of the foregoing (hereinafter referred to collectively as a “Claim”), and shall, upon request, reimburse an Indemnified Party for all legal and other costs, fees and expenses as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending a Claim, whether or not such Indemnified Party is ever made party to any legal proceedings; provided, however, that no such indemnification shall be required to be paid to an Indemnified Party with respect to a Claim that is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (after exhaustion of all appeals) or in an arbitration conducted in accordance with this Agreement to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

In the event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable or insufficient for any reason (other than by reason of the terms hereof) to hold any Indemnified Party harmless, then the Company shall contribute to any amounts paid or payable by an Indemnified Party in such proportion as appropriately reflects the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party and to the Company in connection with the matters to which the Claim relates. If an allocation solely on the basis of benefits is judicially determined to be impermissible, then the Company shall contribute in such proportion as appropriately reflects the relative benefits and relative fault of the Company and such Indemnified Party, as well as any other equitable considerations. In no event shall the Company contribute less than the amount necessary to ensure that the aggregate liability of BO for contribution pursuant to this paragraph in connection with all Claims do not exceed the amount of fees actually received by BO under the Agreement. For purposes hereof, relative benefits to the Company and BO shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the total value received or contemplated to be received by the Company and/or its security holders bears to the fees paid to BO under the Agreement, and other relative fault of each indemnified party an the Company shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the actions and omissions to act were by such Indemnified Party or the Company and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or omission.

All amounts due to an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be payable by the Company promptly upon request by such Indemnified Party.  In addition, the Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Party to enforce the terms of this Annex A.

The Company agrees not to enter into any waiver, release or settlement of any Claim (whether or not BO is a formal party to such Claim) in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder without the prior written consent of BO (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), unless such waiver, release or settlement includes an unconditional release of BO from all liability arising out of such claim.

The provisions of this Annex A shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to BO; shall not be limited by any rights that BO may otherwise have; shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any termination of BO’s engagement; and shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of BO and the Company.
