ARTICLE 20
SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION
20.1 Survival. This Agreement shall survive the Closing.

Each party hereto shall indemnify, defend, and hold the other harmless against and in respect of any loss, damage, deficiency, or expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) resulting from any material misrepresentation, material breach of warranty, or material non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, or obligation on the part of the other party under this Agreement.
20.2.2 Obligations for Pre-Closing and Post-Closing Matters. Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold Purchaser harmless against, and reimburse Purchaser on demand for, any and all liabilities, claims, costs, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), whether direct, contingent, or consequential and no matter how arising, in any way related to the Property, and resulting from claims asserted against Purchaser by any third party based on (i) facts or circumstances occurring on or before the Closing Date, and not otherwise caused by any act, conduct, omission, contract, or commitment of Purchaser, or (ii) any act, conduct, omission, contract or commitment of Seller at any time or times, whether or not disclosed to Purchaser prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold Seller harmless against, and reimburse Seller on demand for, any and all liabilities, claims, costs, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), whether direct, contingent, or consequential, and no matter how arising, in any way related to the Property and resulting from claims asserted against Seller by any third party, but only if based on (i) facts or circumstances occurring following the Closing Date, and not otherwise caused by any act, conduct, omission, contract, or commitment of Seller, or (ii) any act, conduct, omission, contract, or commitment of Purchaser related to the Property at any time or times.
33
20.2.3 Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold Purchaser and Franchisor, if requested, harmless against, and reimburse Purchaser and Franchisor, if requested, on demand for, any and all liabilities, claims, costs, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees), whether direct, contingent, or consequential and no matter how arising, in any way related to the Property, and resulting from claims asserted against Purchaser by any third party based on (i) termination of any Unit Purchase Agreement, (ii) termination of any Unit Rental Management Agreement, and (iii) termination of the Master Declaration with respect to the Terminated Property. Additionally, Sellers Principals will guaranty Sellers indemnification obligations under this Section 20.2.1 pursuant to the Indemnity Guaranty.
20.2.4 Notice and Defense of Claims. A party claiming indemnification under this Article 18 (the Asserting Party) must with reasonable promptness notify in writing the party from which indemnification is sought (the Defending Party) of the nature and basis of such claim for indemnification. If such claim relates to a claim, litigation, or other action by a third party against the Asserting Party or to any fixed or contingent liability to a third party (a Third Party Claim), the Defending Party may elect to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time after receipt of the notice referred to above at its own expense with counsel selected by the Defending Party. The Defending Party may not assume the defense if the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impeded parties) include both the Defending Party and the Asserting Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in which case the Asserting Party shall have the right to employ counsel reasonably approved by the Defending Party at the expense of the Defending Party. If the Defending Party timely assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Defending Party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the Asserting Party incurred thereafter in connection with the Third Party Claim. If the Defending Party timely assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Asserting Party may not settle or otherwise compromise the Third Party Claim without the consent of the Defending Party. If the Defending Party fails to timely assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Asserting Party may settle or otherwise compromise the Third Party Claim without the consent of the Defending Party. No such settlement or compromise shall deprive or impair the Asserting Partys right to indemnification in respect of the Third Party Claim, except to the extent the Defending Party can demonstrate that such settlement or compromise unreasonably and unfairly prejudiced the rights of the Defending Party.
20.2.5 No Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the provisions of this Article 18 or any other provisions of this Agreement be deemed (i) a release by either party of any statutory or common law rights or causes of action that either party, its successors and assigns, or any third party may have against the other party with respect to the unlawful presence of Hazardous Materials at the Real Property, or (ii) an indemnification by either party or its successors and assigns of the other party with respect to any liabilities, obligations, or responsibilities of the other party to governmental authorities or third parties concerning the unlawful presence on the Real Property of Hazardous Materials.
