(a) Upon obtaining knowledge thereof, a person who may be entitled to indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnitee") shall promptly give the Party who may be obligated to provide such indemnification (the "Indemnitor") written notice of any Loss (as defined in Section 7.4(b)) which the Indemnitee 17 has determined has given or could give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder (a "Notice of Claim"). A Notice of Claim shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and all known particulars related to a Loss. The Indemnitor shall perform its obligations hereunder with respect to a Loss described in a Notice of Claim within 30 days after the Indemnitor shall have received such Notice of Claim; provided, however, that such obligations shall be suspended so long as the Indemnitor is in good faith defending, contesting or otherwise opposing pursuant to Section 7.4(c) a Loss which constitutes a claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding described in Section 7.4(c). (b) As used in this Section 7.4, the term "Loss" shall mean a damage, liability, claim, loss, expense or cost described in Section 6.1(a), 6.1(b), 6.7(b), or 7.2 hereof, or a fee, commission, compensation or payment described in Section 10.1, hereof, as the case may be. (c) With respect to a Loss which constitutes a third-party claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding and which is the subject of a Notice of Claim, the Indemnitor shall, in good faith and at its own expense, defend, contest or otherwise oppose such claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding with legal counsel selected by it. The Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate, at its own expense, in the defense, contest or other opposition thereof through legal counsel selected by it and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assert any and all cross-claims or counterclaims which it may have. So long as the Indemnitor is, in good faith, defending, contesting or otherwise opposing such claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding, the Indemnitee shall (i) at all times cooperate, at its own expense, in all reasonable ways with, make its relevant files and records available for inspection and copying by, make its employees reasonably available to and otherwise render reasonable assistance to the Indemnitor upon request; and (ii) not compromise or settle such claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor fails to so defend, contest or otherwise oppose such claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, contest or otherwise oppose, to assert cross-claims or counterclaims with respect to and to compromise and settle such claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding without affecting, impairing or limiting any indemnification to which the Indemnitee is entitled hereunder. If the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding, the Indemnitor shall also indemnify the Indemnitee for all of the legal fees and expenses reasonably and actually incurred in connection with the defense, contest or other opposition of such claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. (d) Whether or not a Notice of Claim has been given pursuant to Section 7.4(a), Seller shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense, contest or other opposition of all of actions, claims, demands, suits or proceedings which involve events occurring or conditions existing prior to the Closing with respect to the Business or the Assets and which, in the sole opinion of Seller, might have an adverse impact on Seller. Seller shall give prompt written notice to Buyer of its election to exercise such right. Without the prior written consent of Seller, Buyer shall not settle or compromise any action, demand, claim, suit or proceeding with respect to which Seller shall have given such a notice. If Seller does not consent to such a settlement or compromise, Seller will assume the defense, contest or other opposition of such action, demand, claim, suit or proceeding for its own account, whereupon Buyer shall be released from any liability with respect to such action, claim, demand, suit or proceeding to the extent that such liability exceeds the liability which Buyer would have had with respect to such a settlement or compromise. Except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, neither such right nor the exercise thereof shall be construed to modify, expand or enlarge the obligations or liabilities of Seller hereunder in any respect. 18 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Parties agree that neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any indemnity obligation under this Article 7 until the Party claiming indemnification hereunder has suffered aggregate Losses by reason of the other Party's breaches of this Agreement in excess of $10,000, at which point Seller or Buyer (as the case may be) will be obligated to indemnify the other Party from and against all such Losses in excess of $10,000; and the Parties further agree that in no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller or Buyer for indemnification claims made pursuant to this Article 7 exceed $1,000,000. 6.12 Subrogation. Any Indemnitor hereunder shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnitee with respect to any claims, suits or demands for which the Indemnitor has indemnified the Indemnitee.
