Legal Counsel. I acknowledge that I have either been advised by independent legal counsel regarding the legal effect of this document and, having been so advised, desire to enter into this legally binding Agreement.

Independent Counsel. The Executive acknowledges that Executive has been represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in the signing of this Agreement and in the making of its terms by independent legal counsel, selected of the Executive’s own free will, and that the Executive has had the opportunity to discuss this Agreement with counsel. Executive further acknowledges that Executive has read and understands the meaning and ramifications of this Agreement and as evidence of this fact signs this Agreement below. The Executive further acknowledges that the Company has not made any representations or given any advice with respect to the tax or other consequences of this Agreement, or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement to Executive and that the Executive has been advised of the importance of seeking independent counsel with respect to such consequences. By executing this Agreement, the Executive represents that the Executive has, after being advised of the potential conflicts between Executive and the Company with respect to the future consequences of this Agreement, either consulted independent legal counsel or elected, notwithstanding the advisability of seeking such independent legal counsel, not to consult with such independent legal counsel.

Independent Counsel. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “independent counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: # the Company, the Parent, or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or # any other party to the proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “independent counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company, the Parent, or the Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

Independent Counsel. The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Company, and the Company shall give written notice to the Indemnitee advising the Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. The Indemnitee may, within five (5) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 13 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within ten (10) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to [Section 7(c)(ii)] of this Agreement and after a request for the appointment of Independent Counsel has been made, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the Company’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under [Section 7(d)] of this Agreement. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to [Section 7(f)] of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). Any expenses incurred by or in connection with the appointment of Independent Counsel shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the Determination of Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification) and not by Indemnitee.

Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (“Legal Counsel”), which shall be Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

Professional Counsel. To the extent necessary, the Lender has obtained, to the extent necessary, professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of the Exchange and an investment in the Shares and the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Shares (together with the Shares, the “Exchange Securities”).

Separate Counsel. Each party hereto represents and agrees with each other that it has been represented by or had the opportunity to be represented by, independent counsel of its own choosing, and that it has had the full right and opportunity to consult with its respective attorney(s), that to the extent, if any, that it desired, it availed itself of this right and opportunity, that it or its authorized officers (as the case may be) have carefully read and fully understand this Agreement in its entirety and have had it fully explained to them by such party's respective counsel, that each is fully aware of the contents thereof and its meaning, intent and legal effect, and that it or its authorized officer (as the case may be) is competent to execute this Agreement and has executed this Agreement free from coercion, duress or undue influence. By their execution of this Agreement, [[Organization B:Organization]], on the one hand, and [[Organization A:Organization]], on the other hand, hereby waive any actual or perceived conflict(s) of interest in connection with any prior, existing and any future representation or other relationships between [[Organization B:Organization]]’s counsel and [[Organization B:Organization]] or [[Organization B:Organization]]’s counsel and [[Organization A:Organization]], and that neither [[Organization B:Organization]] nor [[Organization A:Organization]] has requested additional information; further [[Organization A:Organization]] and [[Organization B:Organization]] acknowledge that Company counsel and members thereof maintain securities holdings in [[Organization B:Organization]] which may include Exchange Securities, and may in the future acquire or dispose of additional securities or investments of [[Organization B:Organization]].

Legal Counsel. Executive acknowledges that he understands that he has the right to consult with an attorney of his choice at his expense to review this Agreement and has been encouraged by the Companies to do so. The Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for reasonable attorney fees incurred for the review and negotiation of this Agreement, up to a maximum amount of $10,000.

Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to consult with an attorney before signing this Release Agreement.
