9.6. PROCEDURE. If any action shall be brought against a party in respect to which indemnity may be sought from the other party pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9  [DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, LIMITATION OF LI...], the party seeking indemnity (the Indemnitee) shall follow the procedures in this Section. If an Indemnitee receives any notice of a claim or other allegation with respect to which the other party (the Indemnitor) has an obligation of indemnity hereunder, then the Indemnitee will, within 15 days of receipt of such notice, give the Indemnitor written notice of such claim or allegation setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances surrounding the claim. The Indemnitee will not make any payment or incur any costs or expenses with respect to such claim, except as requested by the Indemnitor or as necessary to comply with this procedure. The Indemnitee will not make any admission of liability or take any other action that limits the ability of the Indemnitor to defend the case. The Indemnitor shall immediately assume the full control of the defense or settlement of such claim or allegation, including the selection and employment of counsel, and shall pay all authorized costs and expenses of such defense. The Indemnitee will fully cooperate, at the expense of the Indemnitor, in the defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own expense, to employ separate counsel and participate in the defense or settlement of the claim; provided that the Indemnitor shall have no liability for costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnitee, except to the extent authorized by the Indemnitor pursuant to this procedure.

9.7. ESSENTIAL PART OF BARGAIN. The parties acknowledge that the disclaimers and limitations set forth in this Article 9  [DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY, LIMITATION OF LI...] are an essential element of this Agreement between the parties and that the parties would not have entered into this Agreement without such disclaimers and limitations.
