and not jointly, agree, subject to the terms and conditions of this Clause 7, to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses suffered, incurred or paid by the
Indemnified Parties which arise out of or result from such matters as are set out in Schedule XIII(each such

otherwise) for such increased loss or to the extent the liability to a Third Party Claim is not reduced to the extent

agreement for or on behalf of, or incur any obligation or liability of, or to otherwise bind, the other Parties except as
specifically provided by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to create an
association or partnership between the Parties, deem them to be persons acting in concert or to impose any liability
attributable to such relationship upon any of the Parties nor, unless expressly provided otherwise, to constitute any Party as
the agent of any of the other Parties for any purpose.
