-19-

remedies available under applicable law, Purchaser shall have the option to declare this Agreement null and void with respect to the Location or Locations at issue and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted in conformity with the Purchase Price allocated to the Locations as set forth in Schedule 3.02(a) as finally adjusted by the Independent Appraisers final report in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02.

(d)

(i)

If Purchaser elects to close this transaction as to a particular Location notwithstanding a finding that some or all of the Real Property comprising said Location is or may be contaminated or the property of another person is contaminated as a result of contamination that arose from the Location and damages and costs that arose because of such contamination are not fully covered by the applicable State Insurance, then in that event the Seller shall not be entitled to rescind Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and Seller shall be responsible for all environmental expenses and claims not covered by insurance. In such event, Purchaser shall not be required to reimburse Seller the amount of any deductible or co-payment amount incurred to date under any State Insurance, contract, plan or policy providing insurance benefits with respect to the subject Real Property.

Seller authorizes Purchaser on its behalf to perform all required cleanup, remediation, monitoring or other work in accordance with the applicable State Insurance.

In addition, Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any loss, claim, expense, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses as is provided by law) to which Purchaser and/or the Acquired Assets may become subject insofar as such loss, claim, damage or liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon a breach or alleged breach of, or failure to comply with any provision of, or to give any notice or make any filing pursuant to, any bulk sales Law or any similar Law of any state or other jurisdiction.

Section 14.02. Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and their respective successors, shareholders, officers, directors, representatives and agents from and against any and all Claims resulting from or relating to (a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any of the covenants or agreements of Purchaser in this Agreement; (b) any and all suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, demands, assessments, audits and judgments arising out of any of the foregoing; and (c) any liability, obligation or commitment of any nature (absolute, accrued, contingent or other) of Purchaser or relating to the Acquired Assets or the operation of the Business arising out of transactions entered into or events occurring after the Transfer Date and any liability or obligation under the Assumed Leases after the Transfer Date.

Section 14.03. Procedure.

(a)

After acquiring actual knowledge of any Claim for which one of the parties hereto (the “Indemnified Party”) may seek indemnification against another party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Article XIV, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Failure to provide written notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article XIV except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by that failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party upon delivery of written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party, after written notice from the Indemnified Party, fails to take timely action to defend the action resulting from the Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the action resulting from the Claim by counsel of its own choosing, but at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to

-43-

settle or compromise any Claim against it, and, as the case may be, recover from the Indemnifying Party any amount paid in settlement or compromise thereof, if it has given written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party has failed to take timely action to defend the same. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any claim against the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(b)

Upon its receipt of any amount paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XIV, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party such documents as it may reasonably request assigning to the Indemnifying Party any and all rights, to the extent indemnified, that the Indemnified Party may have against third parties with respect to the Claim for which indemnification is being received.

Section 14.04. Limitation on Indemnification by Seller. The obligations of Seller pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.01 are subject to the following limitations:

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 14.01 until the total amount which the Purchaser would recover under Section 14.01, but for this Section 14.04, exceeds the Basket, in which event the Purchaser shall be entitled to recover for all Claims recoverable under Section 14.01, including the amount in the Basket; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification for any such Claims following the applicable Survival Date.

(b)

by Purchaser, if there has been a material misrepresentation or a material default or material breach by Seller with respect to the representations and warranties in Articles V, VI and VII of this Agreement or the due and timely performance of any of the covenants and agreements of Seller contained in this Agreement, and in the case of a covenant or agreement default or breach, such default or breach shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by Seller of notice specifying particularly such default or breach only if the default or breach could be cured within thirty (30) days, otherwise, only if the Seller fails to begin to take remedial action within the thirty (30) day period and such remedial action continues in a businesslike manner until such default or breach is materially cured;

(a)

The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and, in the event of an ambiguity or a question of intent or a need for interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement (such as by “sole,” “absolute discretion,” “complete discretion”, or words of similar import), if any provision of this Agreement requires or provides for the consent, waiver or approval of a party, such consent, waiver and/or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

	(ii)	The parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant herein shall have independent significance. If any party has

-48-


		breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant, as the case may be.

(d)	(i)	Words of any gender used in this Agreement shall be held and construed to include any other gender; words in the singular shall be held to include the plural; and words in the plural shall be held to include the singular; unless and only to the extent the context indicates otherwise.

Section 16.12. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. Any waiver by any party of any condition, or of the breach of any provision, term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall not be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any condition or of the breach of any other provision, term, covenant, representation or warranty of this Agreement.
