Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall not relieve any Party hereto of such Party’s obligation of indemnification hereunder unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture by any Party hereto of substantive rights or defenses.

7.7 Contribution. If for any reason other than the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense, the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold them harmless, the relevant Party hereto shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by any Party hereto on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the relative fault of the Parties and other equitable considerations which may be relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party hereto shall in any event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which is the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of such amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party hereunder.
