If, however, (y) no Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within 10 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the matter, that the Indemnifying Party is assuming the defense thereof, or (z), the maximum liability under such Third Party Claim is greater than the available indemnification amount for the Indemnifying Party (after taking into account the amount of all other claims for which the Indemnifying Party may be or may be claimed to be liable and any limitations contained in Section 7.4.3 hereof), then the Indemnified Party may defend against, or enter into any settlement with respect to, the matter. The Indemnified Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
7.4.3 Limitation on Liability for Indemnity.
(a) The Parent Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.4 until the aggregate amount of all Losses suffered by the Parent Indemnified Parties exceed $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) (the Parent Indemnity Basket) whereupon the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses in excess of $100,000. The Parent Indemnity Basket shall be determined without regard to any materiality qualification contained in any representation or warranty.
(b) The Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.4 until the aggregate amount of all Losses, suffered by the Stockholder Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Dollars) (the Stockholder Indemnity Basket) whereupon the Stockholder Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for the aggregate amount of all of such Losses in excess of $100,000.

The aggregate liability of the Stockholder Indemnifying Parties for indemnification under this Section 7.4 shall not exceed $4,000,000 (Four Million Dollars). The joint and several liability of the Indemnifying Stockholders under this Section 7.4 shall be in proportion to, and shall not exceed, such Indemnifying Stockholders pro rata interest in the Escrow.

- 34 -
Indemnified Party is entitled to receive in indemnification hereunder, or such lesser amount as is then held in the Escrow, shall be released from the Escrow and paid to such Stockholder Indemnified Party in partial (if the amount then held in the Escrow is less than the amount such Stockholder Indemnified Party is entitled receive in indemnification hereunder ) or full satisfaction of the Parent Indemnifying Parties obligation hereunder, as the case may be.
