(i) accept the assignment of such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract, in such case, as between Buyer and Seller, such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract shall, to the maximum extent practicable and notwithstanding the failure to obtain the applicable Nonmaterial Consent, be transferred at the Closing pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement or as elsewhere provided under this Agreement; or
 
 
(ii) reject the assignment of such Restricted Nonmaterial Contracts, in which case, notwithstanding Sections 1.1 and 1.5, (A) neither this Agreement nor the Assignment and Assumption Agreement nor any other document related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale, assignment, assumption, conveyance or delivery or an attempted sale, assignment, assumption, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract, and (B) Seller shall retain such Restricted Nonmaterial Contract and all liabilities arising therefrom or relating thereto.
 
“Best Efforts” means the efforts that a prudent person desirous of achieving a result would use in similar circumstances to achieve that result as expeditiously as possible, provided, however, that a person required to use Best Efforts under this Agreement will not be required to take actions that would result in a material adverse change in the benefits to such person of this Agreement and the contemplated transactions, or to dispose of or make any change to its business, expend any material funds or incur any other material burden.

6.3  Procedure Relative to Indemnification. The following procedure shall govern indemnification:
 
 
a.
If either party hereto shall claim that it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to the terms of this Article Six, it (the “Claiming Party”) shall so notify Seller in the case of a claim for indemnification hereunder (a “Claim”) by any Claiming Party who or which is a Buyer Indemnified Party or Buyer in the case of a Claim by a Claiming Party who or which is a Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such claim promptly within ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice of such claim or notice of any claim of a third party that may reasonably be expected to result in a claim by the Claiming Party against the Indemnifying Party except that notice shall be given to the Indemnifying Party within such earlier period of time as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Indemnifying Party to respond to any pleading or other document for which a timely response is required; provided, however, that failure to timely give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice shall specify the breach of representation, warranty, or agreement claimed by the Claiming Party and the Losses incurred by, or imposed upon, the Claiming Party on account thereof. If such Losses are liquidated in amount, the notice shall so state and such amount shall be deemed the amount of the Claim of the Claiming Party. If such Losses are not liquidated in amount, the notice shall so state and, in such event, a Claim shall be deemed asserted against the Indemnifying Party by the Claiming Party, but no payment shall be made on account thereof until the amount of such Claim is liquidated and the Claim is finally determined. In the case of a Claim other than one which is based upon a Proceeding by any third party, including any Proceeding by any Governmental Authority (a “Third Party Claim”), if the Indemnifying Party agrees with such Claim for indemnification, it shall remit payment for the amount of such Claim promptly after receipt from the Claiming Party of the notice and invoice therefore. In the event of a dispute, the Claiming Party and the Indemnifying Party shall proceed in good faith and attempt to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction.
 
 
b.
The following provisions shall apply to any Claim of the Claiming Party that is based upon a Third Party Claim:
 
(i) The Indemnifying Party shall, upon receipt of such written notice and at its expense, defend such Third Party Claim in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Claiming Party. The Claiming Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested of it and the Claiming Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third Party Claim only with the consent of the Claiming Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, in making its determination as to whether to grant such consent, the Claiming Party shall be entitled to consider the impact of the proposed settlement upon its reputation and/or the goodwill of the businesses which it conducts.
 
(ii) If the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Claiming Party that it disputes any Claim made by the Claiming Party with respect to, and/or it shall refuse or choose not to conduct a defense against, such Third Party Claim, then the Claiming Party shall have the right to conduct a defense against such Third Party Claim and shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. Once the amount of such Claim is liquidated and the Claim is finally determined, the Claiming Party shall be entitled to pursue each and every remedy available to it at law or in equity to enforce the indemnification provisions of this Article Six and, if it is determined, or the Indemnifying Party agrees, that it is obligated to indemnify the Claiming Party for such Claim, the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay all costs, expenses and fees, including all reasonable attorneys' fees, which may be incurred by the Claiming Party in attempting to enforce indemnification under this Article Six, whether the same shall be enforced by suit or otherwise.
 
6.4  Limitations on Indemnification.  In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Seller under Section 6.1 exceed $50,000.  In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Buyer under Section 6.2 exceed $ 50,000 (except that such limitation does not apply to Buyer’s obligations pursuant to Section 1.4 of this Agreement or the Promissory Note).  No person shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article Six with respect to any Losses that are attributable to any fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by such person or any of its Affiliates.
