(e) No Duplication; Sole Remedy.

(i) Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation or warranty.

(ii) The parties’ respective rights to indemnification provided for in this Section 8.3 shall be the exclusive remedy for any Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent an Indemnified Party from pursuing remedies that may be available to such party under applicable law in the event of an Indemnifying Party’s failure to comply with its indemnification obligations under this Section 8.3 or in the case of fraud.
