(c) Olive Gardens Lease. Seller agrees that it will either (i) at or before the Closing, provide an estoppel certificate or other written confirmation from General Mills Restaurants, Inc. or its successor in interest (“Olive Garden”) either confirming that the right of first refusal contained in its lease does not apply to the purchase of the Property in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement or that it waives such right or (ii) at Closing, execute and deliver to Purchaser an agreement from Seller and McKinley Inc. by which they agree to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any loss or liability arising from any claim made by Olive Garden that its right of first refusal is applicable to the purchase of the Property by Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, including any costs of defense incurred by Purchaser in defending any such claim.
