ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification by Arnos. Arnos agrees to indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, stockholders, principals, partners, agents, or representatives (other than Xxxx Xxxxx and his Affiliates other than American Property Investors, Inc. and its controlled Affiliates (each an “Indemnified Person” and collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) against, and to hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all (i) Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Person relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by PSC or the Corporation in this Agreement other than any breaches of or inaccuracies contained in any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.8 (for purposes of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.8(b), the existence of any breach and the amount of any Taxes arising or resulting therefrom will be determined without regard to any disclosures by the Company or any Subsidiary set forth on Schedule 3.8), or (b) any breach of or failure by PSC to perform any of its covenants or obligations set out or contemplated in this Agreement and (ii) Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Person relating to or arising out of or in connection with any Environmental Claim to the extent that the same is based upon, or arises out of, any Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate liability of Arnos for any and all obligations under this Agreement shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price received by PSC.

10.2 Claims. As promptly as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person shall promptly give notice to Arnos of such claim and the amount the Indemnified Person will be entitled to receive hereunder from Arnos; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Person to promptly give notice shall not relieve Arnos of its obligations except to the extent (if any) that Arnos shall have been prejudiced thereby. If Arnos does not object in writing to such indemnification claim within 30 days of receiving notice thereof, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover, on the thirty-fifth day after such notice was given, from Arnos the amount of such claim, and no later objection by Arnos shall be permitted; if Arnos agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but objects that it is obligated to pay only a lesser amount, the Indemnified Person shall nevertheless be entitled to recover, on the thirty-fifth day after such notice was given, from Arnos the lesser amount, without prejudice to the Indemnified Person’s claim for the difference. In addition to the amounts recoverable by the Indemnified Person from Arnos pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Indemnified Person shall also be entitled to recover from Arnos interest on such amounts at the rate of Two Times Prime from, and including, the thirty-fifth day after such notice of an indemnification claim is given to, but not including, the date such recovery is actually made by the Indemnified Person.

10.3 Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense. The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable to Arnos of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto (a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Person to promptly give notice shall not relieve Arnos of its obligations except to the extent (if any) that Arnos shall have been prejudiced thereby. Arnos may, at its own expense, participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding (a) upon notice to the Indemnified Person and (b) upon delivery by Arnos to the Indemnified Person a written agreement that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification for all Losses arising out of such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding and that Arnos shall be liable for the entire amount of any Loss, at any time during the course of any such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) Arnos’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and (ii) Arnos shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Person upon the Indemnified Person’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding. If Arnos assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Arnos. If, however, the Indemnified Person reasonably determines in its judgment that representation by Arnos’s counsel of both Arnos and the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then such Indemnified Person may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such Third Party Claim, action, suit or proceeding and Arnos shall pay all of the fees and disbursements in connection with the retention of such separate counsel. If Arnos fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party that Arnos desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant, or if Arnos gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of Arnos, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnified Person in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Person (with the consent of Arnos, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Person will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof. Whether or not Arnos chooses to defend or prosecute any such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

10.4 Settlement or Compromise. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Person or Arnos, of any claim, suit, action or proceeding shall also be binding upon Arnos or the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise thereof; provided, however, that no obligation, restriction or Loss shall be imposed on the Indemnified Person as a result of such settlement without its prior written consent. The Indemnified Person will give Arnos at least thirty (30) days notice of any proposed settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding it is defending, during which time Arnos may reject such proposed settlement or compromise; provided, however, that from and after such rejection, Arnos shall be obligated to assume the defense of and full and complete liability and responsibility for such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding and any and all Losses in connection therewith in excess of the amount of unindemnifiable Losses which the Indemnified Person would have been obligated to pay under the proposed settlement or compromise.

10.5 Failure of Arnos to Act. In the event that Arnos does not assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding brought against an Indemnified Person, then any failure of the Indemnified Person to defend or to participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve Arnos of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

10.6 Tax Character. Arnos, PSC and Buyer agree that any payments pursuant to this Article X will be treated for federal and state income tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price, and that they will report such payments on all Tax Returns consistently with such characterization.
