(b) Each Purchaser Indemnitee shall promptly give written notice to Seller of the assertion by any Person of any claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which Seller is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the rights of a Purchaser Indemnitee to be indemnified hereunder shall only be affected by the failure to give such notice if and to the extent such failure prejudices Seller in the defense of such third party claim. Amounts due with respect to Losses covered by this Section 7.1 shall be paid promptly after delivery of reasonably documented written notice of the amount of Losses incurred, and if Seller disputes the validity of the notice or the amounts of the Losses and such dispute is ultimately resolved wholly or partially in favor of the Purchaser Indemnitee, Seller shall promptly pay the amount found owing.

Neither Seller, on the one hand, nor any Purchaser Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be entitled to settle or compromise any such claim, action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
