For purposes of this Section 7, “Losses” shall mean each and all of the following items: claims, losses (including, without limitation, losses of earnings), liabilities, obligations, payments, damages (actual, punitive or consequential to the extent provided in this Section 7.2), charges, judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest which may be imposed in connection therewith, costs and expenses of investigation, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel, consultants and other experts). Each Purchaser and the Company hereby agree that Losses shall not include punitive or consequential damages except to the extent that such Losses are the result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the party from whom the indemnification is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”).

7.3 Claim Notice; Right to Defend. A party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) under this Section 7 shall promptly upon becoming aware of the facts indicating that a claim for indemnification may be warranted, give to the Indemnifying Party a claim notice relating to such Loss (a “Claim Notice”). Each Claim Notice shall specify the nature of the claim, the applicable provision(s) of this Agreement or other instrument under which the claim for indemnity arises, and, if possible, the amount or the estimated amount thereof. No failure or delay in giving a Claim Notice (so long as the same is given prior to

expiration of the representation or warranty upon which the claim is based) and no failure to include any specific information relating to the claim (such as the amount or estimated amount thereof) or any reference to any provision of this Agreement or other instrument under which the claim arises shall affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party unless such failure materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. If such Loss relates to the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third person, the Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party regarding such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After the delivery of notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable (except to the extent the proviso to this sentence is applicable, in which event it will be so liable) to the Indemnified Party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, provided that each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent it and assume its defense (in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall not represent it) if (i) upon the advice of counsel, the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, (ii) in the event the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof within 10 days of receipt of notice of such claim or commencement of action, and in which case the fees and expenses of one such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party or (iii) if such Indemnified Party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party. If any Indemnified Party employs such separate counsel it will not enter into any settlement agreement which is not approved by the Indemnifying Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
