(a) Sellers and Members shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Holdings, Parent, the Company, their respective successors and assigns and each of their affiliates, officers, directors, managers and employees (collectively the “Company Indemnitee”) against, and in respect of, any and all damages, fines, claims, deficiencies, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including out of pocket expenses, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees incurred in the investigation or defense of any of the same or in asserting any

42


of their respective rights hereunder) (collectively, “Company Losses”) resulting after the Closing Date from (i) any failure by any Seller or any Member to fulfill any obligation set forth herein that it is required to perform, (ii) any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, (iii) any Excluded Liabilities, (iv) any Excluded Assets, or (v) any actual or alleged violation by any Seller prior to the Closing of any federal, state or local laws affecting or regulating the delivery, billing or payment for health care services, including, without limitation, 42 U.S.C. §1320a-7b, 42 U.S.C. §1395nn or 31 U.S.C. §3729-3733 (or other federal or state laws related to false claims) and the regulations promulgated under such laws, regardless of whether any such matter (A) represents a failure of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be true and correct when made or deemed made or (B) represents a breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement of any Seller or any Member contained in this Agreement or (C) was disclosed to Holdings, Parent or the Company in this Agreement or otherwise; and (collectively items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) are hereinafter referred to as the “Company Claims”).

(b) The indemnification obligations of the Sellers and Members pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(ii) shall expire and terminate on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, unless a Company Indemnitee shall have provided notice of a Company Claim to the Sellers in accordance with Section 10.2.  If a Company Indemnitee provides such notice prior to  the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the indemnification obligations under Section 10.1(a)(ii) shall continue as to the Company Claim identified in the notice(s) until the appropriate amount of indemnification, if any, is determined, paid and satisfied in full.

Section 10.2 Assertion of Company Claims. Any Company Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by a Company Indemnitee to the indemnifying parties promptly after a Company Indemnitee has become aware of the Company Claim.  The notice shall state the amount or the estimated amount of the Company Claim to the extent then feasible, but the estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Company Claim.  With respect to any claim under Section 10.1 relating to a third party claim or demand, Company Indemnitee shall provide the Sellers and Members with prompt written notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.4 and the indemnifying Sellers and Members may defend, in good faith and at its expense, by legal counsel chosen by it and reasonably acceptable to Company Indemnitee, any such claim or demand, and Company Indemnitee, at its expense, shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such third party claim. So long as any Seller or any Member is defending in good faith any such third party claim, Company Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise such third party claim.  In any event, Company Indemnitee shall cooperate in the settlement or compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted claim. If the Sellers or Members elect or are deemed to have elected not to assume the defense of any Company Claim, the Company Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, compromise and settle the Company Claim subject to the prior consent of the Sellers and Members, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed. The Company Indemnitee shall or shall direct in writing its counsel to deliver to the Sellers and Members copies of all correspondence and matters relating to such Company Claim. If the Company Claim involves or could result in claims against, or potential liability of, the Sellers or Members the extent or nature of which were not known by the Sellers or Members as of the date the Sellers or Members elected or is deemed to have elected not to take over the defense of such claim or demand, the Sellers and Members shall, by written notice to the Company Indemnitee, be entitled to take over the defense of such

43


claim or demand at the Sellers’ and Members’ expense. With respect to any claim under Section 10.1 that does not relate to a third party claim or demand, the Company Indemnitee shall provide the Sellers and Members with prompt written notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.4.  If Sellers or Members notify the Company Indemnitee that they do not dispute the claim described in such notice or fail to notify the Company Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice by the Company Indemnitee whether Sellers or Members dispute the claim described in such notice, the Company Loss in the amount specified in the notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of Sellers and Members and, subject to the Basket and the Cap, if applicable, an amount equal to such Company Loss shall be paid from the Escrow Amount by the Escrow Agent within ten (10) days of the date such amount is determined. If Sellers and Members have timely disputed their liability with respect to such claim, Sellers, Members and the Company Indemnitee will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute.  Upon conclusive determination of Sellers’ and/or Members’ liability for such Company Losses pursuant to this Article X and subject to the Basket and the Cap, if applicable, an amount equal to such Company Losses shall be paid in accordance with Section 10.10 below.

Section 10.3 Seller Claims. Holdings, Parent or the Company, shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and Members and their successors and assigns and each of their officers, directors, managers and employees (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitee”) against, and in respect of, any and all damages, fines, claims, deficiencies, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including out-of-pocket expenses, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees incurred in the investigation or defense of any of the same or in asserting any of their respective rights hereunder) (collectively, “Seller Losses”) resulting after the Closing Date from: (a) any breach or violation by the Company, Parent or Holdings of any covenant set forth herein or any failure to fulfill any obligation set forth herein, (b) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by the Company, Parent or Holdings or (c) any Assumed Liabilities (collectively items (a), (b) and (c) are hereinafter referred to as the “Seller Claims”). The indemnification obligations of the Company, Parent and Holdings pursuant to item (b) of this Section 10.3 shall expire and terminate on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, unless any Seller or any Member shall have provided written notice of a claim to the Company, Parent or Holdings, as applicable, prior to or on such date.  If any Seller or any Member provides such notice prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the indemnification obligations under item (b) of this Section 10.3 shall continue until the appropriate amount of indemnification, if any, is determined, paid and satisfied in full.

Section 10.4 Assertion of Seller Claims. Any Seller Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Sellers’ Representative to the Company, Parent and Holdings promptly after the Sellers’ Representative has become aware of the Seller Claim.  The notice shall state the amount or the estimated amount of the Seller Claim to the extent then feasible, but the estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Seller Claim. With respect to any claim under Section 10.3 relating to a third party claim or demand, the Sellers’ Representative shall provide the Company, Parent and Holdings with prompt written notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.4 and the Company, Parent or Holdings may defend, in good faith and at its expense, by legal counsel chosen by it and reasonably acceptable to the Sellers’ Representative, any such claim or demand, and the Sellers’ Representative, at its expense, shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such third party claim.  So long as the Company, Parent or Holdings is defending in good faith any such third party claim, the Sellers’ Representative shall

44


not settle or compromise such third party claim. In any event, the Sellers’ Representative shall cooperate in the settlement or compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted claim.  If the Company, Parent or Holdings elects or is deemed to have elected not to assume the defense of any Seller Claim, the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to defend, compromise and settle the Seller Claim subject to the prior consent of the Company, Parent and Holdings, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or unduly delayed. The Sellers’ Representative shall or shall direct in writing its counsel to deliver to the Company, Parent and Holdings copies of all correspondence and matters relating to such Seller Claim.  If the Seller Claim involves or could result in claims against, or potential liability of, the Company, Parent or Holdings the extent or nature of which were not known by the Company, Parent or Holdings as of the date the Company, Parent or Holdings elected or is deemed to have elected not to take over the defense of such claim or demand, the Company, Parent or Holdings shall, by written notice to the Sellers’ Representative, be entitled to take over the defense of such claim or demand at the expense of the Company, Parent or Holdings. With respect to any claim under Section 10.3 that does not relate to a third party claim or demand, the Sellers’ Representative shall provide the Company, Parent and Holdings with prompt written notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.4.  If the Company, Parent or Holdings notifies the Sellers’ Representative that it does not dispute the claim described in such notice or fails to notify the Sellers’ Representative within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice by the Sellers’ Representative whether the Company, Parent or Holdings disputes the claim described in such notice, the Seller Loss in the amount specified in the notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Company, Parent and Holdings and, subject to the Basket and the Cap, if applicable, an amount equal to such Seller Loss shall be paid by the Company, Parent or Holdings within ten (10) days of the date such amount is determined.  If the Company, Parent or Holdings has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Company, Parent or Holdings and the Sellers’ Representative will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute. Upon conclusive determination of the liability of the Company, Parent or Holdings for such Seller Losses pursuant to this Article X and subject to the Basket and the Cap, if applicable, an amount equal to such Seller Losses shall be paid by the Company, Parent or Holdings within ten (10) days of the date such amount is determined.
