Section 6.3 Procedure for Indemnification. No party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article 6 until such party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall have given the party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of the claim for indemnification and, if such claim for indemnification arises out of any claim, suit, action or proceeding by a third party against the Indemnified Party, unless and until the Indemnified Party shall have given the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such third-party claim and the Indemnifying Party has been offered the right, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party, to participate in the defense of such third-party claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such a third-party claim, it shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 6.4 No Bar. Other than the indemnification periods outlined in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the provisions of this Article 6 shall not limit in any way the claims which may be made by the parties at law or in equity for any breach by any such party of the terms of this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto.

Section 7.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom any waiver or amendment may be sought to be enforced. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement and no investigation by or on behalf of any party hereto shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by such party of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein. The waiver by any party hereto of any condition or of a breach of another provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any other condition or subsequent breach. The waiver by any party of any part of any condition precedent to its obligations under this Agreement shall not preclude it from seeking redress for breach of this Agreement other than with respect to the condition waived.
