(g) any loss, claim, liability, expense, or other damage attributable to: (x) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of PFSI and for time periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date; (y) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on NFTC as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes related to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date; and (z) any and all Taxes of PFSI, Parent or their affiliates which relate to the operations of PFSI’s business from and after the Closing Date; and

(h) any suit, action or other proceeding brought by any governmental authority or Person arising out of, or in anyway related to, any of the matters referred to in Sections 7.1(a) through 7.1(g).

7.2 Indemnification by NFTC. NFTC shall indemnify, exculpate and hold PFSI and Parent, and their respective stockholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively the "PFSI Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against, and agree promptly to defend PFSI Indemnified Parties from and reimburse PFSI Indemnified Parties for, any and all Claims incurred by PFSI Indemnified Parties that result from:

7.3 Method of Asserting Claims.

(a) The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) will give prompt written notice to the other party or parties (the “Indemnitor”) of any Claim which it discovers or of which it receives notice after the Closing and which might give rise to a claim by it against Indemnitor under Section 7 hereof, stating the nature, basis and (to the extent known) amount thereof; provided that failure to give prompt notice shall not jeopardize the right of any Indemnitee to indemnification except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the ability of the Indemnitor to defend such Claim. Subject to the Indemnitor’s right to defend in good faith third party claims as hereinafter provided, the Indemnitor shall satisfy its obligations and this Section 9 within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Indemnitee.

(b) In case of any Claim or suit by a third party or by any governmental body, or any legal, administrative or arbitration proceeding with respect to which Indemnitor may have liability under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7, which the Indemnitor acknowledges is a Claim or demand for which it must indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnitee under Section 7.1 or 7.2 above, Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent desired by it, to assume the defense thereof and to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to defend any such Claim or demand asserted against the Indemnitee. After notice from Indemnitor to Indemnitee of the election so to assume the defense thereof, Indemnitor will not be liable to Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless Indemnitor does not actually assume the defense thereof following notice of such election. Indemnitee and Indemnitor will render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be required of each other in order to insure proper and adequate defense of any such suit, Claim or proceeding. If the Indemnitor actually assumes the defense of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will not make any settlement of any Claim which might give rise to liability of Indemnitor under the indemnity agreements contained in this Section without the written consent of Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if such settlement includes the unconditional release of Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor shall not agree to make any settlement of any Claim that does not include the unconditional release of the Indemnitee without the written consent of Indemnitee.

7.4 Payment of Claims. An Indemnitor which is liable for any Claim shall pay such Claim promptly to the Indemnitee within 10 business days of the final determination of the liability of the Indemnitor and the amount of the Claim.

7.5 Nature and Survival of Representations. All statements made by or on behalf of PFSI or Parent herein or in the Schedules, shall be deemed representations and warranties of PFSI and Parent regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of NFTC. The representations and warranties made by PFSI and Parent, on the one hand, and by NFTC, on the other hand, under this Agreement shall survive for eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, except that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.5 (Title to Purchased Assets; Liens and Encumbrances), 2.7 (Intellectual Property; Trade Secrets), and 2.13 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (ii) there shall be no limitation on any claim involving fraud or intentional misconduct.

7.6 Limitation on Claims. No Claims may be asserted by a party pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) or 7.1(h) (as it relates to Sections 7.1(a)) or 7.2(a) or 7.2(e)) (as it relates to 7.2(a)) of this Agreement until the aggregate amount of all such Claims of such party shall exceed Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), at which time the party seeking indemnification shall be entitled to recover only to the extent that the cumulative aggregate amount of such Claims, finally determined, exceeds the Threshold Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum aggregate amount for which PFSI and/or Parent shall be liable for Claims asserted by the NFTC Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall be $1,250,000.

7.7 Remedies. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the foregoing indemnification provisions, absent fraud or intentional misconduct, are the sole and exclusive remedy any party may have for a breach of any representation or warranty hereunder.
