(a) As soon as practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof, any Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any claim, assessment or demand which the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement. A failure to give such notice shall not negate a right to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall bear any amount of Loss resulting directly from a failure to give a timely notice.

(b) If such claim, assessment or demand relates to a claim, assessment or demand asserted by a third party (including without limitation any governmental agency or body) against the Indemnified Party and if the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligations to indemnify and hold harmless under this Section 7, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to employ such counsel as is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to defend any such claim, assessment or demand asserted against the Indemnified Party.

(c) The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any said claim, assessment or demand at its own cost and expense, provided that unless the Indemnified Party bears a greater risk of loss than the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of said claim, assessment or demand.

(a) The indemnification provided in this Section 7 shall constitute the exclusive remedy for breach of representation and warranties in this Agreement, regardless of whether any claims or causes of action asserted with respect to such matters are brought in contract, tort or any other legal theory whatsoever; provided, however, that only in the case of fraud, the indemnification provisions in this Section 7 are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common law remedy any party may have for breach of any representation or warranty. The maximum aggregate indemnification liability of SELLER shall be equal to 50% of the aggregate amount of all payments actually received by SELLER pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Agreement as of the time such Indemnified Party has the right to be indemnified.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no party shall be liable under this Section 7 for an amount to the extent, if any, that any damages giving rise to such amount results from a failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to exercise good faith in not jeopardizing or prejudicing the interests of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) No Indemnified Party shall seek or be entitled to incidental, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits in any claim for indemnification under this Section 7, nor shall it accept payment of any award or judgment for such indemnification to the extent that such award or judgment includes such party’s incidental, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits.

(d) All damages to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 shall be net of any insurance coverage with respect thereto and any tax benefits realizable by the Indemnified Party.

(e) The Indemnifying Party shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 7 until such time as the total amount of all damages that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party, or to which an indemnified party has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds $50,000.
