Each Owner will indemnify and hold the other Owner harmless from all claims, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the second Owner arising in connection with or as a direct or indirect result of the first Owner's exercise of the rights granted or breach of the obligations imposed in this Agreement; provided, however, the Grantor's indemnification and hold harmless obligations shall only be to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws. 10. Compliance with Laws. Each Owner will comply with all applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, and regulations (collectively, "Applicable Laws") governing the maintenance and use of the Easements. 11. Damage. If either Owner, or an Affiliate of either Owner, causes any damage to the Easements or the other Owner's Parcel, then the responsible party will immediately cause and pay for the repair of such damage. 12. Default. If an Owner fails to comply with any provision herein, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay any maintenance costs or property taxes and assessments ("Defaulting Owner"), then the other Owner ("Non-Defaulting Owner") may upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to the Defaulting Owner, cure the default by the payment of money or performance of other action for the account of the Defaulting Owner. The foregoing right to cure may not be exercised if within ten (10) days of the written notice: (i) the Defaulting Owner cures the default; or (ii) if the default is curable, but cannot reasonably be cured within that time period, the Defaulting Owner begins to cure such default within such time period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion. The ten (10) day notice period will not be required if, using reasonable judgment, the Non-Defaulting Owner gives reasonable notice of its intent to cure to the Defaulting Owner. Within ten ( 10) days following written demand, including copies of paid invoices, the Defaulting Owner must reimburse the Non-Defaulting Owner any sum reasonably expended by the Non-Defaulting Owner to cure the default. The Non-Defaulting Owner also has the right to restrain by injunction any violation or threatened violation by the Defaulting Owner of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof, or to obtain a decree to compel performance if any such term, covenant, or condition is not adequate. In addition to all other rights and remedies, the Non-Defaulting Owner may place a lien on the Defaulting Owner's Parcel for such amount owed, together with interest at the maximum legal rate, plus attorneys' fees necessary for collection. The Non-Defaulting Owner may, in addition to, or instead of, foreclosure, obtain a personal judgment against the owner of the Defaulting Owner's Parcel who failed to pay the real property taxes and special assessments. All remedies are cumulative and will be deemed additional to any and all other remedies to which the Owners may have at law or in equity. 13. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, and other communications hereunder must be in writing and delivered by personal delivery, a recognized overnight courier service, or postage prepaid registered mail, return receipt requested to the parties at their addresses first indicated above or to such other address or such additional recipient as any Owner may have furnished to the others in writing in accordance herewith. All notices will only be effective upon receipt or refusal. -4- 14. Duration and Effect. The Easements burden the Grantor Parcel and benefit the Grantee Parcel. This Agreement will continue in effect perpetually and constitute an easement and a covenant running with the land; but nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as a conveyance by Grantor of its rights in the fee to Grantor Parcel. Grantor and Grantee will automatically be released from all liability thereafter arising under this Agreement upon conveyance of their respective entire interest in the real property burdened or benefited by this Agreement. 15. Amendments.
