Failure to so notify the Partnership will not relieve the Partnership of any liability which the Partnership might have to the Indemnitee except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the Partnership’s legal position.

(d) No Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.7 if it has entered into any settlement or compromise of any claim giving rise to any indemnifiable loss without the written consent of the Partnership. If a bona fide settlement offer is made with respect to a claim and the Partnership desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Partnership will give written notice of settlement to the Indemnitee to that effect. If the Indemnitee fails to consent to the settlement offer within 10 days after receipt of the notice of settlement, then the Indemnitee will be deemed to have rejected such settlement offer and will be responsible for continuing the defense of such claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Partnership as to such claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer plus any and all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Indemnitee up to the date of the notice of settlement and which are otherwise the responsibility of the Partnership pursuant to this Section 6.7. (e) Any such indemnification shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and in no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners or the General Partner to personal liability for the obligation of the Partnership to indemnify contained in this Section 6.7. (f) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled, in any capacity, under any agreement, vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee. (g) To the extent obtainable on reasonable terms, the Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Indemnitees or liability insurance on behalf of the Partnership relating to claims for indemnification against any liability which may be asserted against or expense which may be incurred by such Persons in connection with the Partnership’s activities, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Persons against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. (h) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement. (i) The provisions of this Section 6.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators, and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.
