Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal action, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, (iii) the Third Party Claim is or would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of the amounts available for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.5 or (iv) the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged that such Third Party Claim is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), the Indemnifying Party shall conduct such defense in good faith.

(c) If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate reasonably with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including in connection with the making of any related counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any person. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to any Third Party Claim, other than any privileged communications between the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, and shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain separate co-counsel and participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.3(b).

(d) In the event of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense, fails to make such an election within the thirty (30) days of the Claim Notice or otherwise fails to continue the defense of the Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle, compromise or pay such action or claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 7.4 Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against the Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the Indemnified Party’s best estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement; provided that no failure or delay in providing such notice shall constitute a waiver or otherwise modify the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure or delay. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim.

Section 7.5 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than with respect to fraud, breach of the Fundamental Representations and indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(ii), (i) no Party shall have liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any Losses unless the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds US$1,500,000 (in which case, the entire amount of Losses, subject to Section 7.5(ii) below, shall be payable by the liable Party), and (ii) the maximum liability for the Company or the Key Holder with respect to the Purchaser and the maximum liability for the Purchaser, in each case, shall not exceed an amount equal to 50% of the Purchaser’s purchase price. No Indemnifying Party shall be required to compensate any Indemnified Party more than once (whether under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) in respect of the same Loss.

Section 7.6 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 8.11 and Article VI, and other than with respect to fraud, from and after the Closing, this Article VII shall provide the exclusive remedy for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, covenant or other agreement or other claim resulting from or arising out of this Agreement.
