will pay to Buyer Indemnified Persons the amount of, any loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense (including reasonable costs of investigation and defense and
reasonable attorneys’ fees) whether or not involving a third-party claim
(collectively, “Damages”), resulting from:

                (ii)         any breach by Seller of any covenant or agreement

                (iii)         any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims,
demands, assessments and judgments incident to any of the foregoing.

            (b)         Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and
Seller’s affiliates, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, members,

will pay to Seller Indemnified Persons the amount of, any Damages (as defined
above) resulting from:

                (i)         any breach of any representation or warranty made by
Buyer in this Agreement;

                (ii)         any breach by Buyer of any covenant or agreement of

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                (iii)         Buyer’s operation or ownership of the Company,
Holdings and the Properties after the Closing; and

                (iv)         any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims,
demands, assessments and judgments incident to any of the foregoing.

            (c)

                (i)         Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of
notice of the commencement of any proceeding (a “Proceeding”) or claim against
it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an
indemnifying party under paragraph (a) or (b) above, give notice to the
indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim or Proceeding, but the
failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party
of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent
that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such claim or
Proceeding is prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice.

                (ii)         If any Proceeding is brought against an indemnified
party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such
Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such
Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless the indemnifying party is
also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good
faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or the indemnifying
party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its
ability to defend such Proceeding, in which case the indemnified party may
retain its own counsel and be reimbursed for its expenses incurred in connection
therewith pursuant to this paragraph), to assume the defense of such Proceeding
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice
from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume
the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it
diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this
Section for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the
defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the
indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than
reasonable costs of investigation and except as provided above. If the
indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (1) the same shall not
be conclusive evidence for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in
that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (2) no
compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying
party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or
admission of any violation of Legal Requirements by an indemnified person and no
effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and
(B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the
indemnifying party or other determination binding solely on the indemnifying
party; and (3) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any
compromise or settlement of such claims effected. If notice is given to an
indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying
party does not, within ten (10) days after the indemnified party’s notice is
given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any
determination made in such Proceeding or any reasonable compromise or settlement
effected by the indemnified party.

-12-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                (iii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified
party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a
Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of
monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party,
assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Proceeding, but
the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so
defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may
not be unreasonably withheld).

            (d)         A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving
a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom
indemnification is sought, provided such notice is given prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date.
