costs or expenses (“Loss”) arising from any claim, demand, assessment,

including, without limitation, any claim or liability based upon
negligence, warranty, strict liability, violation of government regulation
or infringement of patent or other proprietary rights, arising from, in
connection with or occurring as a result of this Agreement and any and all
transactions contemplated hereby; provided that if such Loss or Claim
arises in whole or in part from the gross negligence or intentional
misconduct of an Indemnitee, then the amount of the Loss that ARNO shall
indemnify CONSULTANT for shall be reduced by an amount in proportion to
the percentage of CONSULTANT’s responsibilities for such Loss as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision or in a binding settlement between the
parties. Additionally, ARNO shall indemnify, defend, and hold

business, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

of any Claim by giving ARNO notice of such Claim (including a copy of any
such Claim served upon indemnitee), within 10 business days after such

party to provide notice within the specified time period will not relieve
ARNO from its obligations hereunder except to the extent it has been
prejudiced by the failure to give timely notice. ARNO shall defend
Indemnitee from any Claim so tendered to it at its sole cost and expense
and shall keep Indemnitee informed as to the progress of its defense and
