Notice and Procedural Requirements for Third Party Claims.

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election so to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim except as hereinafter provided.

If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the obligations of the Indemnifying Party shall include taking all steps necessary in the defense of such Third Party Claim and holding the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Damages caused or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnified Party or any judgment in connection with the claim or litigation.
30
If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not withhold such consent unless it has provided security of a type and in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party for the payment of its indemnification obligations with respect to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount of Damages caused or arising out of any judgment rendered with respect to such Third Party Claim, and for all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claim.
The Indemnifying Party may settle any Third Party Claim in its sole discretion without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, provided that such settlement involves only the payment of cash by the Indemnifying Party to the claimant and does not impose any other obligation on the Indemnifying Party or any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party.
Section 6.6
Notice and Procedural Requirements for Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which do not result from a Third Party Claim (a "Direct Claim") shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt notice thereof in accordance with Section 8.1 of this Agreement; provided, however, that any failure to provide, or delay in providing, such notification shall not constitute a bar or defense to indemnification except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced thereby. After receiving notice of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party rejects such claim or does not respond within such thirty (30) day period (in which case the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected such claim), the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Article VI.
Section 6.7
Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will the Members’ indemnity obligations under this Article VI exceed the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 except in the case of fraud by the Company or a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made in Section 2.2 or Section 2.10.
