be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Business or the Purchaser's

ARTICLE XII - GENERAL RULES REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION
12.1 Indemnification Procedures. The obligations and liabilities of each
indemnifying party hereunder with respect to claims resulting from the assertion
of liability by the other party or indemnified third parties shall be subject to
the Code and the following terms and conditions:
(a) the indemnified party shall give prompt written notice (which in no
event shall exceed 30 days from the date on which the indemnified party first
became aware of such claim or assertion) to the indemnifying party of any claim
which might give rise to a claim by the indemnified party against the
indemnifying party based on the indemnity agreements contained in Section 10 or
11 hereof, stating the nature and basis of said claims and the amounts thereof,
to the extent known;
(b) if any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the indemnified
party with respect to which the indemnifying party may have liability under the
indemnity agreements contained in Section 10 or 11 hereof, the indemnifying
party will have the right at any time to assume and thereafter conduct the
defense of such action, suit or proceeding with counsel of its choice reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party (which, in the case of the Sellers, shall
be deemed to include Akin, Gump Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxx, L.L.P.); provided, that
unless and until an indemnifying party assumes the defense of an action, suit or
proceeding, the indemnified party may defend such action, suit or proceeding in
any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate.
(c) The indemnified party shall make available to the indemnifying party
and its attorneys and accountants all books and records of the indemnified party
relating to such proceedings or litigation, and the parties hereto agree to
render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each
other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such action,
suit or proceeding.
(d) In no event shall a party defending an action, suit or proceeding
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any claims
without the written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(e) All claims for indemnity hereunder shall be net of any Tax benefit,
insurance recovery, mitigation of damages or similar benefit. If any claims are
made by third parties against an indemnified party for which an indemnifying
party would be liable, and it appears likely that such claims might also be
covered by the indemnified party's insurance policies, the indemnified party
shall make a timely claim under such policies and to the extent that such party
obtains any recovery from such insurance, such recovery shall be offset against
any sums due from an indemnifying party (or shall be repaid by the indemnified
party to the extent that an indemnifying party has already paid any such
amounts). If the indemnified party files a claim under any insurance policy, the
indemnified party shall waive its rights of subrogation against the indemnifying
party with respect to such claim and shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the insurer to waive its rights of subrogation against the indemnifying
party. The parties acknowledge, however, that if an indemnified party is
self-insured as to any matters, either directly or through an insurer which
assesses retroactive premiums based on loss experience, then to the extent that
the indemnified party bears the economic burden of any claims through
self-insurance or retroactive premiums or insurance ratings, the indemnifying
party's obligation shall only be reduced by any insurance recovery in excess of
the amount paid or to be paid by the indemnified party in insurance premiums.
12.2 Floor and Ceiling Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Sections 11 or 12, the Sellers' liability under this Agreement shall be
limited to the amount of the Purchase Price. Further, the Sellers shall have
liability hereunder only if, and to the extent that, the aggregate combined
amount of all indemnification obligations of the Sellers exceeds $10,000.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 10 or 12, the Purchaser's
liability under this Agreement shall be limited to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000.00). Further, the Purchaser shall have liability hereunder
only if, and to the extent that, the aggregate combined amount of all
indemnification obligations of Purchaser exceeds $10,000.
12.3 Other Remedies. The indemnification provisions set forth in Sections
10,11 and 12, are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory,
equitable or common law remedy any party may have for breach of representation,
warranty or covenant.
ARTICLE XIII - TERMINATION
13.1 Termination Rights. This agreement may be terminated at any time
prior to the Closing Date:
(a) by the mutual consent of the Sellers and Purchaser;
(b) by the Sellers or Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred prior to
the expiration or the Interim Period, provided, however, that the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 13.1(b) shall not be available to
any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been
the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of Closing to occur on or before such
date;
(c) by the Sellers or Purchaser if the other party refuses or fails to
perform any covenant or agreement required to be performed by it under this
Agreement or if any representation or warranty of any other party proves to have
been inaccurate or misleading in any material respect at the time it was made or
at the Closing and the other party refuses or fails after notice to correct or
make not misleading any such misrepresentation or warranty; and
(d) by Purchaser if any of the Assumed Contracts with Columbia, Physicians
Health Partners or PacifiCare are terminated prior to the Closing Date, or the
Sellers receive oral or written notice of termination or intent to terminate
from such Persons prior to the Closing Date.
Any party desiring to terminate this Agreement shall give written notice
of such termination pursuant to paragraph 14. 3 herein.
13.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted
by Section 13.1 of this Agreement, such termination will be without liability of
any party (or any shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant,
or representative of such party) to the other parties to this Agreement;
provided, that if such termination results from the failure of a party to use
its best efforts to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of
the other parties or to perform a covenant of this Agreement or from a breach by
any party to this Agreement, such party will be fully liable up to a maximum of
$15,000 for any and all damages, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited
to, reasonable counsel fees) sustained or incurred by the other parties as a
result of such failure or breach.
ARTICLE XIV - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

CONTEMPLATED HEREBY UNTIL THE CLOSING OR SUCH TIME THEREAFTER AS REQUIRED BY THE
CODE. The parties each agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any
controversy, claim or dispute arisin out of or relating to the Agreement, or
breach thereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Dispute"). In the
event such negotiations fail, the Dispute shall first be submitted for initial
fact-finding mediation to a neutral third party reasonably acceptable to both
the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, in Colorado or at
such other place as the parties mutually agree. Such mediator shall be selected
within thirty (30) days of written notice by either party to the other demanding
such fact-finding mediation. In the event that the Sellers and the Purchaser
cannot resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days of the initial demand for such
fact-finding mediation, the Sellers and the Purchaser each reserve the right to
demand, within 30 days thereafter, that the Dispute be submitted to arbitration.
Either party may initiate an arbitration proceeding by a request in writing
submitted to the other party. Thereupon, the Dispute shall be settled by
arbitration in accordance wit the American Arbitration Association which shall
appoint three (3) arbitrators, one of which shall be selected by the Sellers,
one by the Purchaser, and the third by the arbitrators selected by the parties
(the "Arbitrators"). The arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The award rendered by
the Arbitrators shall be final and enforcement upon the award may be entered by
any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be conducted in
Denver, Colorado or at such other place as the parties mutually agree. The
Arbitrators shall award reasonable attorney's fees to the prevailing party.
Subject to the foregoing, the costs of such fact-finding mediation and/or
arbitration shall be borne equally by the Sellers and the Purchaser.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.9 to the contrary, either party may
seek injunctive relief to enforce any non-competition or confidentiality
obligations of the other party. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE DISPUTE
RESOLUTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN ARE EXPRESSLY SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE
CODE.

covenant of such party.

(singular and plural) shall include all numbers and each gender shall include
