The Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to conduct, through counsel of its own choosing, which counsel is approved by the Seller (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld), the defense of any such claim or action, and may compromise or settle such claims or actions with the prior consent of the Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Indemnification Matters The Company hereby acknowledges that one (1) or more of the directors nominated to serve on the Board of Directors by the Investors (each a “Fund Director”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more of the Investors and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (a) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any such Fund Director are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Fund Director are secondary), (b) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Fund Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Fund Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Fund Director), without regard to any rights such Fund Director may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (c) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any such Fund Director with respect to any claim for which such Fund Director has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Fund Director against the Company.
Indemnification of the Purchaser Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.6, SMSA will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and his representatives and agents (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by SMSA in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against Purchaser in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of SMSA who is not an Affiliate of Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is pleaded with particularity as follows and based upon a breach of Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser Party shall promptly notify SMSA in writing, and SMSA shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by SMSA in writing, (ii) SMSA has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of SMSA and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case SMSA shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. SMSA will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without SMSA’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
Purchaser Indemnification 3.4.1 Purchaser shall indemnify, hold harmless and, if requested by a Seller (in such Seller’s sole discretion), defend (with counsel reasonably approved by such Seller) such Seller, together with such Seller’s affiliates, parent and subsidiary entities, successors, assigns, partners, managers, members, employees, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, counsel, representatives, agents, Property Manager, Regional Property Manager, and AIMCO (collectively, including such Seller, “Seller’s Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all damages, mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens, liabilities, penalties, interest, losses, demands, actions, causes of action, claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, including the cost of in-house counsel and appeals) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from or related to Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ entry onto such Seller’s Property, and any Inspections or other acts by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Consultants with respect to such Property during the Feasibility Period or otherwise; provided, however, such indemnity shall not cover any Loss to the extent arising from Seller’s Indemnified Parties’ negligence or willful misconduct or any preexisting latent physical or environmental conditions discovered by Purchaser in connection with its investigations as long as Purchaser immediately ceases its investigations upon discovering such latent condition and takes reasonable steps not to exacerbate such condition.
3.4.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on any Property without Sellers’ Representative’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Sellers’ Representative’s sole discretion. Further, Sellers’ Representative shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all entries, surveys, tests (including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental study of its Property), investigations and other matters that in such Sellers’ Representative’s reasonable judgment could result in any injury to its Property or breach of any contract, or expose the applicable Seller to any Losses or violation of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect such Property or such Seller’s interest therein; provided, however, each Seller hereby expressly consents to Purchaser's performance of a Phase I environmental study of the applicable Property (to be conducted by an environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Seller's Representative) and an ACM (asbestos containing material) study (to be conducted by an environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Seller's Representative) in connection therewith, but only to the extent customarily performed in connection with a Phase I environmental study; and, provided, further, however, if the Phase I for any Property concludes that a Phase II is recommended, but the applicable Seller refuses permission for such Phase II (in such Seller's sole and absolute discretion), Purchaser may terminate this Contract pursuant to Section 3.2 prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenants in connection with Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ activities pursuant to this Section. No consent by Sellers’ Representative to any such activity shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the applicable Seller or assumption of liability or risk by such Seller. Purchaser hereby agrees to restore, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, each Property substantially to the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article III. Purchaser shall maintain and cause its third party consultants to maintain (a) casualty insurance and commercial general liability insurance with coverages of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for injury or death to any one person and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for injury or death to more than one person and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with respect to property damage, and (b) worker’s compensation insurance for all of their respective employees in accordance with the law of the state(s) or commonwealth(s) in which the Properties are located.

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Sellers contained in ARTICLE 2 hereunder or the Company in ARTICLE 3, provided that no Seller shall have any obligation hereunder with respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties of any other Seller;
(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement;
(c) any Company Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness outstanding as of the Closing to the extent not paid or satisfied by the Company or Sellers at or prior to the Closing;

(e) any of the matters set forth on Section 10.1(e) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule. Any claims arising out of clauses (b), (c), (d), or (e) of this Section 10.1 are referred to herein as “Excluded Claims.”
