Without in any way limiting or diminishing the warranties, representations or agreements herein contained or the rights or remedies available to Seller or a breach hereof, Buyer hereby agrees, with respect to this Contract, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller (and its respective partners) from and against all losses, judgments, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind, nature and description in existence before, on or after Closing, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent, joint or several, arising out of or relating to:

(c) Indemnification Procedure for Claims of Third Parties. Indemnification, with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by those not parties to this Contract (including governmental claims for penalties, fines and assessments), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the party or parties from which it is seeking indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any assertion of liability by a third party which might give rise to a claim for indemnification based on the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.9, which notice shall state the nature and basis of the assertion and the amount thereof, to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation to indemnify unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay.

(ii) If in any action, suit or proceeding (a “Legal Action”) the relief sought is solely the payment of money damages, and if the Indemnifying Party specifically agrees in writing to indemnify such Indemnified Party with respect thereto and demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of such Indemnified Party its financial ability to do so, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, commencing thirty (30) days after such notice, at its option, to elect to settle, compromise or defend, pursuant to this paragraph, by its own counsel and at its own expense, any such Legal Action involving such Indemnified Party’s asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to settle, compromise or defend any such Legal Action, such settlement, compromise or defense shall be conducted in the sole discretion of such Indemnified Party, but such Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information concerning such settlement, compromise or defense as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request from time to time. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to settle, compromise or defend any such asserted liability, it shall notify such Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days of notice from such Indemnified Party provided above.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous subsection of this Contract, until the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the

defense of the Legal Action, the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party. Furthermore, (x) if the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are likely to be defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (y) if the Legal Action involves other than money damages and seeks injunctive or other equitable relief; or (z) if a judgment against Buyer, as the Indemnified Party, in the Legal Action will, in the good faith opinion of Buyer, establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interest of the continuing business of the Hotel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of the Legal Action and the defense shall be handled by the Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to approve legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the defense of the Legal Action is handled by the Indemnified Party under the provisions of this subsection, the Indemnifying Party shall pay all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in conducting such defense only if the final, non-appealable decision rendered in any such Legal Action is in favor of the Indemnified Party and not the third party who commences the Legal Action.

(iv) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the Indemnified Party (w) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel and accountants, at its own expense, (x) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed as to the status of such Legal Action at all stages thereof, whether or not the Indemnified Party is represented by its own counsel, (y) the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party and its attorneys, accountants and other representatives, all books and records of the Indemnifying Party relating to such Legal Action and (z) the parties shall render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Legal Action.

(v) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not make settlement of any claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving injunctive or other equitable relief against Seller or Buyer or its respective assets, employees, Affiliates or business, or relief which Seller or Buyer reasonably believes could establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interests of its continuing business.

(vi) The liability of the Seller under the terms and conditions of this Contract shall be limited to the assets of the limited partnership of Seller and there shall be no personal recourse against its general partner, Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx.

8.10 Escrow Funds of Seller. To provide for the timely payment of any post-closing claims by Buyer against Seller hereunder, at Closing, Seller shall deposit an amount equal to Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (“Seller’s Escrow Funds”) to be withheld from the Purchase Price payable to Seller and shall be deposited for a period of one (1) year in an escrow account with the Title Company pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer and Seller (the “Seller’s Post-Closing Agreement”), which escrow and Seller’s Post-Closing Agreement shall be established and entered into at Closing and shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligations under this Contract.

If no claims have been asserted by Seller against Buyer, or all such claims have been satisfied, within such one-year period, Buyer’s Escrow Funds deposited by Buyer shall be released to Buyer.

In the event that Seller makes a claim subsequent to the Closing against the Buyer as a result of any breach by the Buyer in connection with this Contract, any aggregate recovery in connection with Seller’s claims against the Buyer, including legal fees and expenses, shall be limited to the sum of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00) which shall include Buyer’s Escrow Funds, plus the amount of any insurance indemnifying Buyer and the applicable deductibles.
