harmless the other Party and such other Party’s Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, managers,
partners, employees, agents, equity holders, successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any
and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Party arising out of, based upon or resulting from any breach of any
representation or warranty of the Indemnifying Party herein or breach by the Indemnifying Party of, or any failure the Indemnifying
Party to perform, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction
Documents by the Indemnifying Party.


 


Section
5.02 Procedures for Indemnification. In the event that an Indemnified Party shall incur or suffer any Losses in
respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Article V against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall
assert a claim for indemnification by providing a written notice (the “Notice of Loss”) to the Indemnifying Party
stating the nature and basis of such indemnification. The Notice of Loss shall be provided to the Indemnifying Party as soon as
practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware that it has incurred or suffered a Loss.


 


Section
5.03 Payment. Upon a determination of liability under this Article V the Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid to the
Indemnified Party the amount so determined within five (5) Business Days after the date of such determination. If there should be a dispute

pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation that is not subject to dispute. Upon the payment in full of any amounts due under
this Article V with respect to any claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any
Person with respect to the subject matter of such claim.


 


Section
5.04 Effect of Knowledge on Indemnification. The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon any
representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted
with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.
The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any

		(b)	Every
                                            right and remedy provided herein shall be cumulative with every other right and remedy, whether

                                            waiver by any Party of the performance of any obligation by another Party shall be construed
                                            as a waiver of the same or any other default then, theretofore, or thereafter occurring or

                                            of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent
                                            any Party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition.
                                            No notice to or demand on a Party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that Party

                                            No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude
                                            exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved Party whole with
                                            respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any

Section
6.09 Resolution of Disputes. Except as otherwise provided herein, all controversies, disputes or actions between the Parties
arising out of the Transactions or this Agreement, including their respective Affiliates, owners, officers, directors, agents and employees,
arising from or relating to this Agreement shall on demand of either party be submitted for arbitration to in accordance with the rules
and regulations of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator jointly selected by each
Party who is a party to the Dispute, provided, however, that if such Parties are unable to agree on the identity of the arbitrator within
10 Business Days of commencement of efforts to do so, each Party who is a party to the Dispute shall select one arbitrator and the arbitrators
so selected shall select a final arbitrator, and the final arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration alone. The Parties agree that, in
connection with any such arbitration proceeding, each shall submit or file any claim which would constitute a compulsory counterclaim
(as defined by Rule 13 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures) within the same proceeding as the claim to which it relates. Any such
claim which is not submitted or filed in such proceeding shall be barred. The arbitrator shall be instructed to use every reasonable
effort to perform its services within seven days of request, and, in any case, as soon as practicable. The Parties agree to be bound
by the provisions of any limitation on the period of time by which claims must be brought under Florida law or any applicable federal
law. The arbitrator(s) shall have the right to award the relief which he or she deems proper, consistent with the terms of this Agreement,
including compensatory damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from due date), injunctive relief, specific performance, legal damages
and costs. The award and decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties, and judgment upon the award may
be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any right to contest the validity or enforceability of this award shall be governed
exclusively by the United States Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be conducted in Franklin, Tennessee. The provisions of this Section
6.09 shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

any provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement
so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are
fulfilled to the extent possible.
