| 29 |
(a) any failure of the representations and warranties made by Stratus, Hygeia Merger Sub or Canterbury Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or in any Stratus Document to be true and correct; or

(a) Escrow Fund. The Escrow Shares shall be available to compensate the Stratus Indemnified Parties for any claims by such Parties for any Losses incurred or sustained by them and for which they are entitled to recovery under this Article X.
(b) Escrow Period; Distribution upon Termination of Escrow Period. Subject to the following requirements, the Escrow Fund shall be in existence as of the Closing and shall terminate at 11:59 p.m., local time, on the sixth (6th) month anniversary after the Closing Date with respect to Fifty (50%) percent of the Escrow Fund, and the balance of the Escrow Fund shall terminate at 11:59 P.M., local time twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”); provided, however, that the Escrow Period shall not terminate with respect to 100% of the amount of any unsatisfied claims specified in any Officer’s Certificate delivered in good faith prior to the respective expiration date with respect to facts and circumstances existing prior to the Expiration Date (each, an “Unresolved Claim”). As soon as an Unresolved Claim has been resolved (whether by settlement, other agreement or Order), Stratus shall forthwith deliver to the Holder Representative for distribution, to and in the names of those Persons designated by the Holder Representative, the portion of the Escrow Shares, if any, not required to satisfy other Unresolved Claims. For the purposes hereof, “Officer’s Certificate” shall mean a certificate signed by any executive officer of Stratus and delivered to the Holder Representative: (1) stating that Stratus has paid, incurred, sustained or accrued, or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay, incur, sustain or accrue Losses, and (2) specifying in as much detail as then exists the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid, incurred, sustained or accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related.
10.6 Indemnification Procedures.
Subject to Section 10.5, the following shall apply to all Claims; provided that the Holder Representative shall be the exclusive person to act on and receive all Notices on behalf of the Canterbury Holders and the Hygeia Stockholders:
(a) Claims for Indemnification. In the event that any Indemnified Party asserts a Timely Claim, it shall provide written notice thereof containing reasonable details regarding the claim (the “Claim Notice”) to the party against which such claim is asserted (an “Indemnifying Party”) with a copy to the Holder Representative.
(b) Resolution of Conflicts; Arbitration.
(i) If the Indemnifying Party shall object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Claim Notice to recover Losses within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the agreed-upon amount of the Claim to the Indemnified Party.
(ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to sixty (60) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the matter shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with Section 13.9 hereof.
| 30 |
(c) Third-Party Claims With Respect to Indemnified Parties.
(i) In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third-party claim which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in a demand against an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to elect to assume the defense of such claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party that to the best of its knowledge, such party is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such third-party claim as and to the extent provided hereunder; and provided, further, that in the event the Indemnifying Party subsequently determines that it is not obligated to indemnify any such Indemnified Person with respect to such third-party claim, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party to such effect and the Indemnifying Party shall cease to have the right to control the defense of such third-party claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to elect to assume the defense of such third-party claim if: (w) the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that such third-party claim seeks material non-monetary relief; (x) the third-party claim is a criminal proceeding or (y) the claim seeks relief which would limit or otherwise adversely affect the conduct of business by the Indemnified Party. Failure by the Indemnifing Party to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of any such claim or litigation by a third party within ten (10) days after notice thereof has been given to the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its right to assume the defense of such claim or litigation, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, without prejudice to its right of indemnification under this Agreement. All claims for legal fees and expenses or other Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.6(c) shall be subject to the claims processing and dispute procedures set forth in Section 10.6(b).
(ii) The Indemnifying Party, if he or it are entitled to and do assume the defense, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to defend such claim and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel with regard thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense, the obligations under Article X of this Agreement shall include taking all steps necessary in the investigation, defense or settlement of such claim or litigation (including the retention of legal counsel) and holding the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation; provided, however, that: (x) the Indemnifying Party shall first consult with the Indemnified Party regarding such settlement, (y) no settlement may be made by the Indemnifying Party without the consent in writing of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) releases the Indemnified Parties from any liability in respect thereof, (ii) does not include any admission of culpability on the part of the Indemnified Parties and (iii) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Parties or any of their Affiliates or otherwise impose affirmative or negative covenants on the Indemnified Party, and (z) the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement with respect to Taxes without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense, the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such defense or settlement through separate counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, with the fees and expenses of such separate counsel borne by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in the event the Indemnified Party shall conclude (upon the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses or rights available to it which are different from, in actual conflict with, or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to select separate counsel to act on its behalf, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable separate counsel fees and other reasonable expenses related thereto.
(iii) If the Indemnified Party elects to assume such third-party claim or litigation, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to participate in such defense or settlement through separate counsel chosen by the the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such separate counsel borne by the Indemnifying Party.
| 31 |
10.7 Limitation on Indemnification.
(a) Other than as set forth below, resort to indemnification pursuant to this Article X and the Escrow Fund shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Stratus Indemnified Parties and the Stratus Indemnified Parties hereby waive, to the fullest extent permissible by law, any other rights or remedies that may arise under any applicable statute, rule or regulation.
(b) For purposes of determining the amount of Escrow Shares to satisfy any Indemnification Claims, the Escrow Shares shall be valued at the fair market value of such shares at the time such claim is made (as determined by mutual agreement of the parties or by a third party valuation expert appointed by the parties, the cost of which shall be shared by the parties).
(c) An Indemnifying Party shall not have any liability under this Article X unless the aggregate amount of Losses to the indemnified parties as finally determined exceed Seventy Five Thousand ($75,000) Dollars (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event, subject to Section 10.7(a) the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay the full amount of such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided however, that the maximum liability of any Hygeia Stockholder or Canterbury Holder hereunder shall be limited to the consideration received by such Hygeia Stockholder or Canterbury Holder minus any taxes paid.

Such agency may be changed by the Hygeia Stockholders and Canterbury Holders from time to time upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Stratus. No bond shall be required of the Holder Representative, and the Holder Representative shall not receive any compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Holder Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Hygeia Stockholders and Canterbury Holders.
(b) Except for intentional fraud, the Holder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Holder Representative. Pursuant to the following sentence, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Hygeia Stockholders and Canterbury Holders shall be, severally based on such Hygeia Stockholders’ and Canterbury Holders’ pro rata Portion of the Merger Consideration and not jointly, obligated to indemnify the Holder Representative and hold the Holder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Holder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Holder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Holder Representative. At the time of distribution pursuant to Section 10.5 of any remaining Escrow Shares, the Holder Representative shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such Shares to pay and reimburse fees and expenses of third parties incurred or expected to be incurred in connection with her role as Holder Representative pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the Holder Representative Reserve would be insufficient to pay and reimburse fees and expenses of third parties.

(f) All of the immunities and powers granted to the Holder Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.
(g) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Holder Representative, including an extension or waiver of this Agreement, shall constitute a decision of the Hygeia Stockholders and Canterbury Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Hygeia Stockholders and Canterbury Holders; and Stratus may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Holder Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Hygeia Stockholders and Canterbury Holders.
