7.3 NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS. If any party or parties (the “Indemnified Party”) reasonably believes that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or otherwise receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any third-party claim, action, or proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”), with respect to which such other party or parties (the “Indemnifying Party”) is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 above, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim for Indemnification (an “Indemnity Claim”).

7.5 ARBITRATION. All disputes under this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration to be determined before a single arbitrator pursuant to the commercial law rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration may be commenced at any time by any party hereto giving written notice to each other party to a dispute that such dispute has been referred to arbitration under this Section 7.5. The arbitrator shall be selected by the joint agreement of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party, but if they do not so agree within 20 days after the date of the notice referred to above, the selection shall be made pursuant to the rules from the panels of arbitrators maintained by such Association. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such award shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrator giving the reasons for the award. This provision for arbitration shall be specifically enforceable by the parties and the decision of the arbitrator in accordance herewith shall be final and binding without right of appeal. Each party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrator shall be equally shared; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the arbitrator any claim for indemnification or any defense or objection thereto was unreasonable, the arbitrator may assess, as part of his award, all or any part of the arbitration expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and of the arbitrator against the party raising such unreasonable claim, defense or objection. To the extent that arbitration may not be legally permitted hereunder and the parties to any dispute hereunder may not at the time of such dispute mutually agree to submit such dispute to arbitration, any party may commence a civil action in a court of appropriate jurisdiction to solve disputes hereunder. Nothing contained in this Section 7.5 shall prevent the parties from settling any dispute by mutual agreement at any time.

7.6 INDEMNIFICATION THRESHOLD. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any party be liable to any other party under any warranty, representation, indemnity or covenant made by such party in this Agreement until the aggregate amount of Damages thereunder against such party exceeds ten thousand dollars ($10,000) (the “Threshold”), at which point such party shall be liable for the full amount of liability for such claims below and above the threshold.

No claim may be made by any party hereto unless written notice of the claim is given within that twenty-four month period; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation period will not apply to a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant known to any party before the date of this Agreement.

9.2 NON-CIRCUMVENTION BY SELLER. Seller does hereby agree that Seller shall not, at any time within the 3-year period immediately following the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly attempt:

Seller specifically understands and agrees that the foregoing prohibitions preclude, without limitation, any attempt by Seller to contact, negotiate with or enter into any contract or transaction with any Buyer’s Business Entity(ies). It is mutually understood and agreed by the Seller and the Buyer that if Buyer decides to grant its consent to any proposed circumvention activity by Seller, Buyer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to condition such consent upon the execution of a written agreement by and between Buyer and Seller concerning remuneration to be paid to Buyer pursuant to the consummation of the proposed transaction.

Buyer may, without need for any consent or notice to Seller, assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Buyer, and such assignment shall release Buyer of all of its liabilities and obligations to Seller, provided such liabilities and obligations are fully assumed by Buyer’s assignee.

No supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
