8/20/2003 STRICT STATUTORY LIABILITY, WHETHER DEVELOPER IS IMMUNE FROM LIABILITY OR NOT. IT IS THE EXPRESSED INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION IS AN INDEMNITY BY THE DEVELOPER TO INDEMNIFY AND PROTECT THE INDEMNIFIED PERSONS FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE INDEMNIFIED PERSONS' OWN NEGLIGENCE, INCLUDING GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WHERE THAT NEGLIGENCE IS A CONCURRING CAUSE OF THE RESULTING INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE. FURTHERMORE, THE INDEMNITY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL HAVE NO APPLICATION TO ANY CLAIM, LOSS, DAMAGE, CAUSE OF ACTION, SUIT AND LIABILITY WHERE THE INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE RESULTS FROM THE SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PERSONS UNMIXED WITH THE FAULT OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.

Within 10 days after receiving written notice of the indemnification request, Developer shall advise the Indemnified Person as to the chosen counsel. If Developer does not properly notify the Indemnified Persons as required above, the Indemnified Person shall assume and control the defense, and all defense expenses actually incurred by it shall constitute an indemnified loss, which must be paid by the Developer within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from an Indemnified Person. Such indemnified loss shall bear interest at the rate, but not the time, established in section 6.1 (F) from the due date noted in the invoice until the date of payment.
