INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification by the Physician Parties.

(a) Except as provided in Section 10.1(b) and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6, each of the Physician Parties, jointly and severally, hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser and its permitted assignee, and their respective officers, directors, employees and shareholders (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and against all demands, suits, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, liens, settlements, penalties, and forfeitures, and reasonable costs and expenses incident thereto (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, the “Indemnity Losses” and individually, an “Indemnity Loss”), asserted against or suffered or incurred, directly or indirectly, by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons and resulting from:

(i) any material misrepresentation in or material breach of the representations or warranties of any of the Physician Parties or the failure of any of the Physician Parties to perform any of their respective covenants or obligations contained in this Asset Purchase Agreement;

(ii) except with respect to any liabilities relating to or arising from the provision of professional medical services (or failure to provide professional medical services), the operation of the Practice by the Clinic prior to the Closing including, but not limited to, any and all obligations or liabilities of any of the Physician Parties of any kind, description or character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, known or unknown; or

(iii) any liability for Taxes arising out of, or by virtue of, or based on any Physician Party.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.1(a), the Physician Parties shall not be obligated to jointly and severally indemnify, defend or hold the Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any Indemnity Losses asserted against or suffered or incurred by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and resulting from any material misrepresentation in or material breach of any representation of the Physicians contained in Section 4.2 hereof or from the failure of the Physicians to perform any of the Physicians’ covenants or obligations contained in the Non-Competition Agreements. In each of these cases, the Physicians shall severally and not jointly indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser and its permitted assignee harmless from and against all Indemnity Losses asserted against or suffered or incurred by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and resulting from any material misrepresentation in or material breach of such representations of the Physicians or its permitted assignee or from the failure of the Physicians or permitted assignee to perform any of such covenants or obligations.

10.2 Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6, the Purchaser and its permitted assignee hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Physician Parties and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners and shareholders (collectively “Physician Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and against any Indemnity Loss asserted against or suffered or incurred by any of the Physician Indemnified Persons and resulting from:

(a) any misrepresentation in or breach of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser or the failure of the Purchaser or permitted assignee to perform any of their respective covenants or obligations contained in this Asset Purchase Agreement or in the Asset Purchase Agreements;

(b) the use of the Assets after the Closing and the conduct of business by the Purchaser’s permitted assignee after the Closing; or

(c) the Initial Public Offering or any document filed by Purchaser, any permitted assigns of Purchaser, or any Affiliate thereof as required by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities or blue sky laws unless, and then only to the extent that, the Indemnity Loss arises out of or is based upon written information furnished by the Physician Parties that contains an untrue statement or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

10.3 Notice. If any person or entity has reason to believe that he, she or it has suffered or incurred (or has a reasonable belief that he, she or it will suffer or incur) any Indemnity Loss subject to indemnity hereunder, such person or entity shall so notify the indemnifying party promptly in writing describing such loss or expense, the amount thereof, if known, and the method of computation of such Indemnity Loss, all with reasonable particularity. If the nature of the Indemnity Loss set forth in the notice does not involve any third party claim, and if the indemnifying party does not respond to the indemnified party in writing contesting the existence of amount of any Indemnity Loss within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notice, then such indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay, and shall pay in accordance with Section 10.5, the amount of the Indemnity Loss set forth in such notice to the indemnified party. If any action at law, suit in equity, administrative action or arbitration or mediation proceeding is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any person intends to claim any liability or expense as an Indemnity Loss under this Article 10, such person shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of such action. The failure to give or to timely give any notice required by this Section 10.3 shall not relieve the party from whom indemnity is sought of any of its obligations under this Article 10, except to the extent that such failure results in actual prejudice to the indemnifying party.

10.4 Defense of Third Party Claim.

(a) With respect to any action at law, suit in equity, administrative action or arbitration or mediation proceeding that is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any person intends to claim any liability or expense under this Article 10, the indemnifying party shall have fourteen (14) business days after receipt of the notice with respect thereto referred to in the first sentence of Section 10.3 to notify the indemnified party that it elects to conduct and control any action, suit or proceeding with respect to such claim; provided, however, that no such election may be made with respect to any action, suit or proceeding by a taxing authority with respect to any consolidated, combined or unitary return filed by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates. If the indemnifying party does not give such notice, the indemnified person shall have the right to defend, contest, settle or compromise such action, suit or proceeding in the exercise of its exclusive discretion, and the indemnifying party shall, upon request from the indemnified person, promptly pay the indemnified person in accordance with the other terms and conditions of this Article 10 the amount of any Indemnity Loss subject to indemnity hereunder resulting from its liability to the third party claimant. If the indemnifying party gives such notice, it shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall desire, to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing (which counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party and shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnified party) and at its sole expense, the conduct and settlement of such action, suit or proceeding, and the indemnified person shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection therewith; provided, however, that (i) the indemnifying party shall not thereby permit to exist any lien, encumbrance or other adverse charge securing the claims indemnified hereunder upon any asset of the indemnified person, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not thereby consent to the imposition of any injunction against the indemnified person without the written consent of the indemnified person, (iii) the indemnifying party shall permit the indemnified person to participate in such conduct or settlement through counsel chosen by the indemnified person, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the indemnified person except as provided below, and (iv) upon a final determination of such action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party shall promptly reimburse to the extent required under this Article 10 the indemnified person for the full amount of any Indemnity Loss resulting from such action, suit or proceeding and all reasonable and related expenses incurred by the indemnified person, other than fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified person incurred after the assumption of the conduct and control of such action, suit or proceeding by the indemnifying party (except as provided below); provided further, however, that such fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party shall be borne by the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between such party and the indemnifying party in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party, or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after giving notice of its intent to assume such defense. So long as the indemnifying party is contesting any such action in good faith, the indemnified person shall not pay or settle any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified person shall have the right to pay or settle any such action, suit or proceeding, provided that in such event the indemnified person shall waive any right to indemnity therefor from the indemnifying party and no amount in respect thereof shall be claimed as an Indemnity Loss under this Article 10.

(b) If requested by the indemnifying party, the indemnified person agrees to cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel in contesting any claim which the indemnifying party elects to contest or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the claim, or any cross-complaint against any person asserting the claim, or any cross-complaint against any person and further agrees to take such other action as reasonably may be requested by an indemnifying party to reduce any loss or expense for which the indemnifying party would have responsibility, but the indemnifying party will reimburse the indemnified person for any reasonable expenses incurred by it in so cooperating or acting at the request of the indemnifying party.

(c) The indemnified person agrees to afford the indemnifying party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all persons, including governmental authorities, asserting any claim against the indemnified person or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such persons.

10.5 Payment of Losses. Except as specifically set forth in any other section of this Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to payment of losses, which section shall govern payment of losses with respect to matters set forth therein, the indemnifying party shall pay to the indemnified person in cash the amount of any Indemnity Loss to which the indemnified person may become entitled by reason of the provisions of this Asset Purchase Agreement, such payment to be made within sixty (60) business days after any such amount of losses is finally determined either pursuant to mutual agreement of the parties, pursuant to the second sentence of Section 10.3, pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.4(a), pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.4 or Section 11.5, or pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article 12 or pursuant to a final, unappealable binding judgment of a court with jurisdiction.

10.6 Damages; Limitations. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Asset Purchase Agreement, a Party’s right to recover any amounts under the indemnification provisions of this Article 10 shall be determined or limited as provided in this Section 10.6.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither party shall be obligated to indemnify the other under this Article 10 in excess of the amount of the Aggregate Consideration.

(b) All representations, warranties and indemnities made by the parties shall survive the Closing and shall thereafter terminate and expire twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date, except that representations, warranties (Section 4.1(j)) and associated indemnities with respect to tax matters, and representations, warranties and associated indemnities with respect to environmental matters (Section 4.1(m)), shall survive for a period equal to the statute of limitations applicable to any claim arising from or attributable to such matters; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights and obligations with respect to indemnification as provided in this Article 10 shall continue with respect to any matter for which indemnification has been properly sought pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Asset Purchase Agreement prior to the expiration of any such survival period.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Physician Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Persons under this Article 10: (i) unless the aggregate of all Indemnity Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Seller’s Basket”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover all Indemnity Losses, including the amount equal to the Seller’s Basket. Nothing contained in this Section 10.6(c) shall be deemed to limit or impair the Purchaser’s or Purchaser’s permitted assignee’s right to seek injunction or other equitable relief for a Physician Party’s breach of any provision set forth in the Non-Competition Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Purchaser or its permitted assignee shall not be obligated to indemnify Physician Parties under this Article 10: (i) unless the aggregate of all Indemnity Losses of the Physician Parties exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) (the “Buyer’s Basket”), in which case the Physician Parties shall be entitled to recover all damages to the Physician Parties, including the amount equal to the Buyer’s Basket.

Provided, however the right to recover any amount under the indemnification provision of Article 10 shall be determined and limited exclusively as provided in Section 10.6. The election of any one or more remedies by any party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

If there is any conflict between the AAA rules and this arbitration clause, this arbitration clause will govern and determine the rights of the parties. The parties to this Agreement (the “Parties”) shall be entitled to full discovery regarding the Controversy as permitted by applicable codes of civil procedure.

The arbitrator shall also award the prevailing Party any reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses the prevailing Party incurs in connection with the arbitration, and the non-prevailing Party shall pay the arbitrator’s fees and expenses. The arbitrator shall determine who is the prevailing Party. Each Party also agrees to accept service of process for all arbitration proceedings in accordance with AAA’s rules.

(c) The obligation to arbitrate shall not be binding upon either party with respect to a controversy involving a monetary amount exceeding $100,000, requests for temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions or other procedures in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain interim relief when deemed necessary by such court to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending resolution by arbitration of the actual dispute between the Parties.

In the event either party fails to appear at any properly noticed arbitration proceeding, an award may be entered against such party by default or otherwise, notwithstanding said failure to appear.

11.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Asset Purchase Agreement, together with other Transaction Documents and all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written (including the letter of intent) of the parties, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof.

The parties acknowledge that federal and state law and regulations applicable to physicians, health care organizations, and business transactions in which physicians and other health care providers participate are subject to change, and that such changes in laws and regulations, and interpretations thereof by courts and regulatory authorities may affect the transactions contemplated by this Asset Purchase Agreement, i.e., certain aspects of the contemplated transactions may become prohibited or economically impractical as a result of such changes. If such event occurs, the parties each agree to negotiate in good faith such alterations to the structure and terms of the transactions under this Asset Purchase Agreement as may be necessary to make them lawful under then-applicable laws and regulations, without materially disadvantaging either party.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, if any action or proceeding is brought by any party with respect to this Asset Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or with respect to the interpretation, enforcement or breach hereof, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to an award of all reasonable costs of litigation or arbitration, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the losing party, in such amounts as may be determined by the court having jurisdiction of such action or proceeding or by the arbitrators deciding such action or proceeding.

11.11 Further Assurances. From time to time hereafter and without further consideration, each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional or further instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer and take such actions as any of the other parties hereto may reasonably request in order to more effectively consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the carrying out of the parties’ respective obligations hereunder or the purposes of this Asset Purchase Agreement.

11.15 Headings. The headings of the several Articles and Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Asset Purchase Agreement.

11.16 Severability. Each article, section, subsection and lesser section of this Asset Purchase Agreement constitutes a separate and distinct undertaking, covenant or provision hereof.
