The Parties further agree that if and to the extent that pro-rata contributions are nevertheless considered by a court, all Indemnitees shall collectively be deemed to be a single Person.
SECTION 7.06. Notice; Settlements.
An Indemnitee shall provide written notice to the Indemnitor of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnitee of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article VII, except if and to the extent that the Indemnitor has been materially prejudiced thereby. In case any such action, suit, claim, or proceeding is brought against an Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, and, at its election (or the election of any Indemnitor individually on his own behalf), assume control of such defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee, by delivering written notice to that effect to such Indemnitee. Upon delivery of such notice to such Indemnitee and approval of such counsel by such Indemnitee, the Indemnitor will not be liable under Section 7.02, 7.03, or 7.04 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such action, suit, claim, or proceeding. The Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim, or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor shall not, without an Indemnitees prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any action, suit, claim, or proceeding to which such Indemnitee is a party, or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof. The Indemnitor shall not, without an Indemnitees prior written consent, settle or compromise any action, suit, claim, or proceeding with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim, or proceeding, and the requirements of this sentence shall apply regardless of whether such Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such action, suit, claim, or proceeding.
SECTION 7.07. Survival.
The obligations of the Parties under this Article VII shall survive the transfer of any Shares or the Closing or termination of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall inure to the benefit of any transferee or assignee to the extent provided by this Agreement.
SECTION 7.08. Limitation.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Article VII to the contrary, in no event shall either Party have any obligation to indemnify the other Party with respect to any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise out of or are related to (a) any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of the Party seeking indemnification, which act or omission results in any violation or breach (or alleged violation or breach) of any contract, agreement, or understanding (written or oral) or any duty (fiduciary or otherwise) to which the Party seeking indemnification is a party or is subject (other than violations or breaches alleged to have been committed by the Party seeking indemnification with respect to the contracts and agreements entered into with the other Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, which alleged violations or breaches are not proved), or (b) any act or omission or the status of (or alleged act or omission or the alleged status of) the Party seeking indemnification, which act, omission, or status results in any violation or breach (or alleged violation or breach) of any law, rule, regulation, or order applicable to either Party.
SECTION 7.09. Limitations.
The indemnification due by an Indemnitor to an Indemnitee under this Article 7 shall be equal to the entire amount of the Losses, subject to the following:
(a) The Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any Losses unless the aggregate of idemnifiable Losses incurred under this Agreement exceeds Two Hundred Thousand US Dollars (USD200,000), it being specified that in the event that such amount is exceeded, the indemnification shall become due from the first dollar of such Losses.
(b) The maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered by the Indemnitee under this Agreement shall not exceed the Purchase Price. If the aggregate amount of the idemnifiable Losses covered by indemnifications provided hereunder by the Seller as the Indemnitor to the Purchaser as the Indemnitee exceeds Ten Per cent (10%) of the Purchase Price, i.e. Two Hundred Thousand US Dollars (USD200,000), the Seller shall be entitled to buy back the Shares from the Purchaser at a price equal to the Purchase Price minus the aggregate amount of the indemnifiable Losses paid by the Seller.
(c) The Parties waive as against each other any claims to special, exemplary, or punitive damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any award of special, exemplary, or punitive damages shall not be included in calculating the amount of indemnifiable Losses hereunder.
SECTION 7.10. Other Provisions.
Any amount due by an Indemnitor to an Indemnitee hereunder may be reduced by the Indemnitor by any amount due to it from the Indemnitee.
