(a) In support of the value of the goodwill acquired by the Buyer hereunder, and in recognition of the value paid by the Buyer for the Assets hereunder, which value shall inure to the benefit of the Seller and Owners, Seller and the Owners each agree that it or he shall not directly or indirectly own, lease, maintain, manage, consult for or otherwise operate or provide healthcare, revenue cycle or billing services competitive with the Buyer or its Affiliates (including Parent) anywhere in the world, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, unless authorized by the Buyer or the Parent.

5.07 Indemnification by Buyer.  From and after the Closing Date, Buyer ("Indemnitor") shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, and its employees, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnitee") from and against all Claims of any nature, to the extent not covered by insurance, whether absolute, contingent or otherwise, asserted against or imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnitee relating to (a) Buyer’s conduct of the operations of its business on or after the Closing Date, or (b) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by the Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement.
 
5.08 Notice to Indemnitor.  In the event that an Indemnitee has presented against it a demand, claim or other written notice (each a "Notice"), which Notice constitutes a cause of action for which Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, then and in such event, the Indemnitee shall notify Indemnitor in writing of the receipt of such Notice as soon as practicable after first receiving such Notice, but in any event not longer than 30 days following the Indemnitee’s receipt of such Notice.  The delay or failure of the Indemnitee to provide any notice required herein shall not release Indemnitor from liability or any other obligation with respect to this indemnification, except and only to the extent that Indemnitor’s ability to defend against the action is impaired by such delay or failure.
 
5.09 Action by Indemnitor.  Indemnitor, with respect to any Notice referred to hereunder, shall have the opportunity to defend such action with counsel reasonably acceptable to all the parties herein.  In the event Indemnitor shall agree to defend the action, Indemnitor shall be provided full and complete cooperation by the Indemnitee in order to effectuate a defense and shall be entitled to effectuate at Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense a reasonable settlement of the action, provided that Indemnitor obtains a complete release of the Indemnitee with respect to any such action.
 
5.10 Failure to Act.  In the event Indemnitor, after written notice, fails to promptly pay the amount claimed in any such action, or fails to otherwise defend such action, then and in such event, the Indemnitee may pay such amount, or settle or defend such action, and the costs of any such payment or defense shall be paid by Indemnitor promptly upon demand.

5.12 Brokers and Finders.  Seller and Owners shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer from any fees due to any broker, finder, or consultant retained by or claiming through or under the Seller or an Owner with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and Owners from any fees due to any broker, finder, or consultant retained by or claiming through or under the Buyer with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
