6.1 Claims for Indemnification. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, Buyer shall promptly notify the Company of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim; provided however, that a failure to provide such notice will not reduce the indemnification obligation hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such failure to deliver notice materially prejudices the Company.  In the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the notice to the Company shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability potentially arising therefrom.
