• Exculpation and Indemnification of Escrow Agent 9.1. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person's obligations under such document. Except for amendments to this Agreement referred to below, and except for instructions given to the Escrow Agent by the Company and the subscribers relating to the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between any and all of the persons referred to herein, notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and whether or not it has knowledge thereof. 9.2. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. The Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Escrow Agreement or any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent, as applicable, signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. 9.3. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Except as specifically provided for herein, the Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the use or application of any funds or other property paid or delivered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any loss which may be incurred by reason of any investment of any monies which it holds hereunder provided the Escrow Agent, as applicable, has complied with the provisions of Section 2 hereunder. 9.4. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption. 9.5. To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the investment of funds held hereunder or any payment made hereunder, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, may pay such taxes. The Escrow Agent, as applicable, may withhold from any payment of monies held by it hereunder such amount as the Escrow Agent, as applicable, estimates to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes not yet paid, and may use the sum withheld for that purpose. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless against any liability for taxes and for any penalties or interest in respect of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in Section 9.6. 9.6. The Escrow Agent will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Escrow Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, hereunder, the monies or other property held by it hereunder or any income earned from investment of such monies; provided, that such expenses or loss are not as a result of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, acting, or omitting to take action, in bad faith or with willful misconduct or gross negligence promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, notify the Company thereof in writing, but the failure by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to give such notice shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Escrow Agent hereunder. For the purposes hereof, the term "expense or loss" shall include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Escrow Agent, and all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claims, demand, action, suit or proceeding.

• Survival and Indemnification 8.1 All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the parties hereto. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations period, and all representations, warranties and covenants to be made or performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing until made or performed and for the applicable statute of limitations period after their due date. The indemnity obligations of each party to this Agreement shall terminate (absent fraud or intentional misrepresentation) one year from the Closing Date. Any claim for indemnification that is asserted within one year of the Closing Date shall survive until resolved or judicially determined. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation, verification or examination by any party hereto or by anyone on behalf of any such party. 8.2.1 GLCP shall hold harmless and defend ITEC and its successors and assigns from and against any and all claims related to, caused by or arising from (a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement of GLCP set forth in this Agreement, or any other misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to fulfill a covenant or agreement by GLCP contained in any agreement or other document delivered pursuant hereto, or (b) any and all claims of third parties made based upon facts alleged that, if true, would have constituted such a misrepresentation, breach or failure. 8.2.2 ITEC shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend GLCP and its representatives, officers, members, managers, directors, affiliates, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims related to, caused by or arising from (i) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement of ITEC contained herein or in any agreement or other document delivered pursuant hereto, or (ii) any and all claims of third parties made based upon facts alleged that, if true, would constitute such a misrepresentation, breach or failure. 8.3 The party seeking indemnification under this article (the "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") of the facts and circumstances giving rise to any claim, provided, however, that an Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice shall not impair or otherwise affect such Indemnified Party's right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. All rights contained in this article are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies, which are otherwise available, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. All indemnification rights shall be deemed to apply in favor of the indemnified party's officers, directors, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns. 8.4 The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless legal action shall have been instituted against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit within fifteen (15) days after notification thereof as provided herein. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnification hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim by a person other than the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim without prejudice to the right of the Indemnifying Party thereafter to contest its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect to the claims asserted therein. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel to conduct the defense in such claims and at its sole cost and expense shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnifying Party admits in writing its liability to hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out of such settlement. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend such claim in such a manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and in any action by the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions of this article, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such action (including making a personal contact with the third party if deemed beneficial) and the relevant records of party shall be made available on a timely basis.

• 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.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section.

Exculpation. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful breach of this Agreement.

The Seller agrees to pay or reimburse the Purchaser for any payment made or amount payable or loss suffered or incurred by the Purchaser at any time from and after the Closing in respect of any Damages to which the foregoing indemnity relates. (b) If any claim shall be asserted against Purchaser by a third party for which Purchaser intends to seek indemnification from the Seller under this Section, Purchaser shall given written notice to the Seller of the nature of the claim asserted within forty-five (45) days after any executive officer of Purchaser learns of the assertion thereof and determines that the Purchaser may have a right of indemnification with respect thereto, but the failure to give this notice will not relieve the Seller of any liability hereunder in respect of this claim. 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).
