The foregoing indemnification obligation shall not apply in the event and to the extent that such claim arose as a result of any indemnitee's negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
7.1.2 WYETH shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless ACCESS, its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all damages, losses, liabilities, expenses, claims, demands, suits, penalties or judgments or administrative or judicial orders (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred, assessed or sustained by or against ACCESS, its directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to a claim by a Third Party arising out of (a) the negligent acts or omissions of WYETH; (b) any breach by WYETH of this Agreement or of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder; (c) any allegation that the Trademarks or WYETH's packaging or WYETH's (or any Affiliate of WYETH's) marketing materials infringes any patent or other proprietary or protected right of any Third Party; (d) any Recall or Seizure attributable to WYETH's performance; (e) any enforcement or other action by any Regulatory Authority relating to the distribution, the pricing of the Product by WYETH or sale of the Product by WYETH to Third Parties; (f) WYETH's failure to comply with any applicable law, regulation or order (including, without limitation, environmental laws, regulations and orders), or (g) the marketing and distributing of the Product by WYETH, its Affiliates or sub-distributors. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall not apply in the event and to the extent that such claim arose as a result of any indemnitee's negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
7.1.3 To receive the benefit of indemnification under this Section 7.1, the Party and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents seeking indemnification (an "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party"), in writing, of any claim asserted or threatened against such Indemnified Party for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder from the Indemnifying Party. With respect to any such claim the Indemnified Party shall, at no out-of-pocket expense to it, reasonably cooperate with and provide such reasonable assistance to such Indemnifying Party as such Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. Such reasonable assistance may include, without limitation, providing copies of all relevant correspondence and other materials that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 are conditioned upon the delivery of written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any asserted or threatened claim promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such claim; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice or any delay thereof shall not affect the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that such failure or delay impairs the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend or contest any such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any suit or claim for which indemnification is sought with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party defends the suit or claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense thereof at its sole cost and expense. An Indemnifying Party may not settle a suit or claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party if (a) such settlement would impose any monetary obligation on the Indemnified Party for which indemnification is not provided hereunder, (b) or require the Indemnified Party to submit to an injunction or otherwise limit the Indemnified Party's rights under this Agreement, or (c) does not include a release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such suit or claim. Any payment made by an Indemnifying Party to settle any such suit or claim shall be at its own cost and expense.
7.1.4 The indemnification provided by this Section 7 shall be the Parties' sole and exclusive remedy in connection with any third party claim.
