The Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification as provided for in this Section 5 by giving written notice to the Indemnitee(s) within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an indemnification claim notice. In order to receive indemnification hereunder, an Indemnitee must provide written notice of any Third-Party Claim, including all reasonable details, promptly following becoming aware of such or of any grounds for a Third-Party Claim. Upon assuming the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select and appoint the lead legal counsel for the defense of the Third-Party Claim. Upon the assumption by the Indemnifying Party of the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the applicable Indemnitee(s) or any other Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such party(s) or other Indemnitee in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its own expense. The Indemnitee will, and will cause each other Indemnitee to, cooperate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and will furnish such records, information, and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, all at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. No settlement shall be entered into by an Indemnifying Party without the applicable Indemnitee’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; unless such settlement includes a waiver of any claims against the Indemnitee and no obligation to make any payment. Indemnitee shall not make any admission or enter into any settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.

**(b) Exclusion of Special Damages.** Except for a breach of a Party’s confidentiality obligations hereunder or a Party, in no event shall either Party be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages that the other Party may incur by reason of its having entered into or relied upon this agreement, regardless of the form of action in which such damages are asserted, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise and even if foreseeable and/or if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

**(c) Limitation of Liability.** Except for (i) the breach of a Party’s confidentiality obligations hereunder, (ii) a party’s indemnification obligations hereunder, or (iii) damages resulting from a party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, in no event shall either Party’s liability to the other party for damages of any nature exceed the fees paid by you to the SSC in the 3 months preceding the claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and except in the event of SSC’s intentional misconduct or as otherwise limited by applicable law, in no event shall SSC’s total aggregate liabilities of any nature arising hereunder exceed the total amounts paid by the client to SSC in the six (6) months preceding the claim.
