Payments by Partner of all Fees hereunder shall be made without deductions for any applicable taxes, imposts, customs, levies or other withholdings or such payments shall be “grossed-up” to provide Sift the same amount after such tax as it would have received without the imposition of such tax.

In no event will an Indemnified Party be liable for any settlement that admits any fault or liability of an Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party.
- 6.4 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. ALL LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS SHALL APPLY TO THIS SCHEDULE, EXCEPT THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES, COSTS, OR LIABILITIES IN RELATION TO ITS INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 6 IN AGGREGATE IN EXCESS OF TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000).
