7.6            LIMITATIONS ON BUYER’S LIABILITY.  Buyer will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to the matters described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 7.3 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $50,000, and then only for the amount by which such Damages exceed $50,000.  However, this Section 7.6 will not apply to any Breach of any of Buyer’s representations and warranties of which Buyer had Knowledge at any time prior to the date on which such representation and warranty is made or any intentional Breach by Buyer of any covenant or obligation, and Buyer will be liable for all Damages with respect to such Breaches.  The total liability of Buyer pursuant to Section 7.3 shall be limited to an amount equal to $4,050,000.

7.7            NO RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION.  If Closing occurs, none of the Sellers shall have any right of contribution, indemnification or other claim against the Company in connection with any matter and, effective upon the consummation of Closing, the Sellers hereby release the Company from any such claims.

7.8            PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION-THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.

(a)            Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Sections 7.2, or 7.3 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such notice.

(b)            If any Proceeding referred to in Section 7.8(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding the indemnifying party will, unless the claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conduct such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding.  If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (i) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in fall by the indemnifying party; and (ii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.  If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive light to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).


(c)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(d)            Sellers hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on Sellers with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

7.9            PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION–OTHER CLAIMS.  A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

7.10            EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.  Except in the event of fraud, if the Closing occurs, the remedies for indemnification contained in this Section 7 shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties hereto, and shall be deemed exclusive of any other remedy conferred by law or equity upon any party hereto, with respect to any matter related to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions.

7.11            MITIGATION.

 (a)            The parties shall use reasonable efforts to collect the proceeds of any insurance which would have the effect of reducing Damages (in which case such proceeds shall reduce such Damages) and, if indemnification payments shall have been received by any indemnified person prior to the collection of such proceeds, such indemnified person shall remit to the indemnifying party, the amount of such proceeds (net of the cost of collection thereof) to the extent of indemnification payments received in respect of such Damages. To the extent any Damages of an indemnified person is reduced by receipt of payment (i) under insurance policies, or (i) from third parties not affiliated with the indemnified person, such payments (net of the expenses of the recovery thereof) shall be credited against such Damages.

     (b)            The amount of any Damages payable hereunder shall be net of any tax benefit actually derived (or reasonably expected to be derived) by any indemnified person on account of such Damages.

     (c)            The indemnifying party shall be subrogated to the indemnified person’s rights of recovery to the extent of any Damages satisfied by the indemnifying party.  Such indemnified person shall execute and deliver such instruments and papers as are necessary to assign such rights and assist in the exercise thereof.

8.            GENERAL PROVISIONS.
