indemnifying party expressly for use in the preparation thereof, and so
designated by such indemnifying party; (2) the use by such indemnifying party of
any prospectus after such time as Carmike has advised such indemnifying party

The indemnifying party shall be
entitled to control the defense or prosecution of such claim or demand in the
name of the indemnified party, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified
party, if it notifies the indemnified party in writing of its intention to do so
within 20 days of its receipt of the notice from the indemnified party without
prejudice however to the right of the indemnified party to participate therein
through counsel of its own choosing, which participation shall be at the
indemnified party's expense unless (1) the indemnified party shall have been
advised by its counsel that use of the same counsel to represent both the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party would represent a conflict of
interest (which shall be deemed to include any case where there may be a legal
defense or claim available to the indemnified party which is different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action

hold the indemnified party harmless under said subsections in respect of any
Losses referred to therein for any reason other than as specified therein, then

indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one
hand and such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by (or omitted to be supplied by) Carmike or the
Sellers, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to above in
this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigation
or defending in any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act)

after receipt of notice of any such Claim, but in no event more than thirty (30)
days after receipt of such notice, fail to defend or pay, the Purchaser will
(upon further notice to the Sellers) have the right to undertake the defense,
compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk
of the Sellers, subject to the right of the Sellers to assume the defense of
such Claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination
thereof.
13.03. Assistance. In the event so requested by the Sellers, the
Purchaser shall use its best efforts to make available all information and
assistance reasonably required in the defense by the Sellers of a Claim.
13.04. Limitations. The Sellers' obligation to indemnify the Purchaser,
MCTI, SBHI, RDLLLC and the Company as provided in Section 13.01 above is subject
to the condition that the Sellers shall have been given notice by Purchaser,
MCTI, SBHI, RDLLLC or the Company of the Claim for which indemnity is sought:
A. Eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date for all
Claims, other than a Claim based on breach of the warranties or representations

their individual executions hereof as Shareholders of MCTI, MCT hereby
acknowledges and agrees that receipt of MCT's portion of the
77
79

whatsoever hereunder, and shall not seek recovery against the Shareholders of
MCTI therefor.

liability that he or she may have on account of common law fraud or purposeful

delivered under the terms hereof, which certificate is untrue in any material
respect.

obtained from MCTI, SBHI, RDLLLC, Sellers or the Company or the Sellers
concerning their operations, financial condition and business, and shall return
to Company (without retaining copies thereof) any documents or other information
obtained from the Company or the Sellers in connection therewith. Purchaser
shall not disclose to any third party any such information regarding Sellers or
Company except only to those who have a need to know such information in order
to advise Purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereunder, and only if such third party is advised in advance of
the confidentiality of such information, and agrees to abide by this Section
15.03 to the same extent as if such person was a party to this Agreement.
Sellers and Company shall similarly keep confidential any non-public information
obtained from the Purchaser concerning the operation and business of Purchaser
and shall return to the Purchaser (without retaining copies thereof) any
documents or other written information obtained from the Purchaser in connection
