From and after the Closing Date, each of AV Parties, and Hanover Parties shall, from time to time, at the request of each other and without further consideration do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, and assurances as may be reasonably required to give effect to the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder. This Section 12 shall survive Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the APA or otherwise, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the breach of this Section 12 will cause irreparable damage to Hanover Parties and AV Parties and upon breach of any provision of this Section 12, AV Parties and Hanover Parties shall be entitled to any and all remedies at law including injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief.
13. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Indemnification by Hanover Sellers. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 13, from and after the Closing, Hanover Sellers shall indemnify AV Parties in respect of, and hold AV Parties harmless against, any and all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, demands, fines, fees, interest, penalties, assessments, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses (collectively, Damages) incurred or suffered by AV Parties, or any Affiliate of AV Parties resulting from, related to, or arising out of:
(i) any breach of a representation or warranty of Hanover Sellers contained in Section 4 of this Agreement (provided that any such claim for Damages shall be limited and enforceable solely against the applicable Hanover Seller); or
(ii) any failure by Hanover Parties to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (provided that any such claim for Damages shall be limited and enforceable solely against the applicable Hanover Seller).
(b) Indemnification by AV Parties. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 13, from and after the Closing, AV Parties shall indemnify Hanover Parties, in respect of, and hold Hanover Parties harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Hanover Parties resulting from, related to, or arising out of:
(i) any breach of a representation or warranty of AV Parties contained in Section 5 of this Agreement; or
(ii) any failure by AV Parties to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.
(c) Claims for Indemnification.
(i) Procedure for Claims. A Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 13 (an Indemnified Party) wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Section 13 (a Claim) shall deliver to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the Indemnifying Party) a written notice (a Claim Notice) that (i) states in reasonable detail the facts constituting the basis for the Damages claimed, (ii) states the amount (the Claim Amount) of any Damages claimed by the Indemnified Party, to the extent then known, (iii) states that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 13 and set forth a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iv) includes a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages. Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall (A) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claim Amount, (B) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claim Amount (the Agreed Amount), or (C) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claim Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claim Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response (the Resolution Period), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 16(o).
(ii) Third-Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to, or arising out of a third-party claim shall be subject to the following additional procedures and provisions. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any action, suit, or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim or demand by a third party. Such notification shall (i) state in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such third-party claim, (ii) state the sections of this Agreement with respect to which indemnification is being claimed for such Damages and that the Indemnified Party if entitled to Indemnification under this Section 13, and (iii) state the amount of the Damage being claimed. Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding, or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any action, suit, proceeding, or claim that seeks non-monetary relief or criminal penalties without the written consent of the Indemnified Party.
If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding, or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one additional counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The party controlling such defense shall (A) keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding, or claim and the defense thereof, (B) provide the other party with reasonable access to all relevant information and documentation relating to the claim and the prosecution or defense thereof, and (C) consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.
(iii) Treatment of Indemnity Payments. All indemnity payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the purchase price paid by AV Parties for any assets acquired in connection herewith, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.
(iv) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 13 in respect of any Damages shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit actually realized as a result of such Damages by the Indemnified Party, determined in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnified Party.
(v) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive damages except arising out of a third-party claim.
(vi) Each Indemnified Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages for which such Indemnified Party is or may become entitled to be indemnified hereunder.
(vii) Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
(viii) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the New Land Contracts or in the documents entered pursuant thereto or in connection with this Agreement, and subject to the limitations set forth herein, this Section 13 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates from and after the Effective Time with respect to matters set forth in Section 13(a) and 13(b) hereof.
14. SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties of Hanover Sellers and AV Parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the Survival Date), at which time they shall expire. The covenants and other agreements of each party set forth in this Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. If an indemnification claim under Section 13, as the case may be, is properly asserted in writing prior to the Survival Date or other applicable survival date, then the related representation and warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim.
15. BROKERS. All parties hereto each warrant and represent to the other that, none of them have entered into any agreement, written or oral, with any person or entity as a result of which any party hereunder will become obligated to pay a finders fee or brokers commission as a result of execution of this Agreement or consummation of the transactions provided for herein. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold the other parties hereto harmless against any liability, loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of, or attributable to, any claim by any person or entity to a finders fee or brokerage commission based upon an alleged agreement (written or oral) between such person or entity and such party. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive the closing and the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
16. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Except as provided in herein or in the APA, this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.
(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of Florida.
(c) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and the signature pages by facsimile transmission or other electronic means shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all
purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.
(d) Costs. Wherever in this Agreement provision is made for the doing of any act by any person it is understood and agreed that such act shall be done by such person at its own cost and expense unless a contrary intent is expressed.
(e) Construction. Both parties to this Agreement having participated fully and equally in the negotiation and preparation hereof, this Agreement shall not be more strictly construed or any ambiguities within this Agreement resolved against either party hereto.
(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to herein that are to be delivered at Closing) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. No provisions hereof may be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.
(g) Attorneys Fees. In connection with any litigation arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable attorneys fees and costs including all fees and costs incurred prior to and at all trial and appellate levels.
(h) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of party hereto hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this agreement or the actions of parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof.
(i) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, Assignee may assign all of its rights, interests and obligations to AV Parties or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AV Parties without any such consent. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(j) Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of each partys respective obligations hereunder.
(k) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to
expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
(l) Interpretation. When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Whenever the words include, includes or including are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words without limitation. The word or shall not be exclusive. No summary of this Agreement prepared by any party shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(m) Remedies. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party or expressly conferred upon a party pursuant to any other agreement, document, or instrument in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder or delivered in connection herewith, will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties, in addition to all other remedies provided hereunder, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. This provision shall survive Closing.

All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (i) four (4) Business Days after being sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (ii) one (1) Business Day after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, (iii) on the date of confirmation of receipt (or, the first Business Day following such receipt if the date of such receipt is not a Business Day) of transmission by electronic mail or facsimile, or (iv) the date such notice is actually received by the party for whom it is intended (or, the first Business Day following such receipt if the date of such receipt is not a Business Day), in the case of any other means of transmission (including personal delivery, messenger service or ordinary mail), in each case to the intended recipient as set forth below:
