(b) With respect to any third party action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim which is the subject of a Notice of Claim (a Third Party Claim), an Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume and control (with counsel of its choice) the defense of such Third Party Claim at the Indemnitors expense and at its option by sending written notice of its election to do so within fifteen (15) days after receiving the Notice of Claim from the Indemnitee as aforesaid; provided, however, that:
(i) The Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose (the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee);
(ii) If the Indemnitor elects to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim in its sole discretion so long as either (i) such compromise or settlement is purely monetary and provides an unconditional release of the Indemnitee with respect to such claim or (ii) the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(iii) If the Indemnitor shall not have assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim within the fifteen (15) day period set forth above, the Indemnitee may assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it and may make any compromise or settlement thereof or otherwise protect against the same and be entitled to all amounts paid as a
result of such Third Party Claim or any compromise or settlement thereof, to the extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto, provided that, in the case of any such compromise or settlement, (i) such compromise or settlement is purely monetary and provides an unconditional release of the Indemnitor with respect to such claim or (ii) the Indemnitee shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and

(d) Upon payment of any amount pursuant to any indemnification claim, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all of the Indemnitees rights of recovery (and, if KGH, PAC or Sellers are the Indemnitors, the Indemnitee shall cause the KGH, PAC or Sellers, as the case may be, to be subrogated to all of Buyers rights of recovery) against third parties with respect to the matters to which such indemnification claim relates.

Casualty and Condemnation.
14.1 Risk of Loss. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Sellers. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of all or a portion of the Property, Buyer may, at its option, by notice to Sellers given within ten (10) business days after Sellers notify Buyer of such damage or destruction (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Buyer the full ten (10) business day period to make such election): (i) terminate this Agreement and Sellers shall cause Escrow Agent immediately to return the Deposit to Buyer, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, receive any and all insurance proceeds (including any and all rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Sellers or Company as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured, or coinsured amount under such insurance policies. If no notice is given by Buyer after receipt of proper notice from Sellers, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer elects (ii) above, Buyer may extend the Closing Date for up to an additional thirty (30) business day period in which to obtain insurance settlement agreements with the Companys insurers, and Sellers will cooperate with Buyer in obtaining the insurance proceeds and such agreements from the Companys insurers, If all or a portion of the Property is not materially damaged, then Buyer shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement, and at Closing Buyer shall receive any and all insurance proceeds (including any rent loss insurance applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due the Company as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured, or coinsured amount under said insurance policies. Material damage and materially damaged means damage (x) reasonably estimated to exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00), unless otherwise required by Lender, or (y) which, in Buyers reasonable estimation, will take longer than ninety (90) days to repair.
14.2 Condemnation. If prior to Closing, condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are commenced against all or any portion of the Property, or if Sellers receive a notice that such proceedings are contemplated, Sellers shall give Buyer written notice thereof, at which point Buyer shall have the option to (i) terminate this Agreement by giving a Termination Notice, in which event Sellers shall cause Escrow Agent immediately to return the Deposit to Buyer, or (ii) proceed to Closing in accordance with this Agreement, in which event the net award to which Sellers shall be entitled shall be paid or assigned by Sellers to Buyer at Closing. If Buyer does not exercise its Termination Option within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the condemnation proceedings, Buyer will be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing as provided in clause (ii) above.
14.3 Binding Effect. This Article 14 is an express provision with respect to destruction and eminent domain and is intended to supersede any applicable statute regarding risk of loss.
Article 15

For all purposes under this Agreement, including the negotiation and finalizing of this Agreement and Closing, each document transmitted by facsimile machine shall be treated, in all manner and respect, as an original document and the signature of any party on each document transmitted by facsimile machine shall be considered, for all purposes, as an original signature (except for any documents or instruments which must be recorded).
