6. Indemnification.

7. Right to Assign. We shall have the right, at our election, to assign any of our rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any successors, assigns, parents, affiliates, subsidiaries or other related entities and, to the extent of such assignment, we shall thereafter be relieved of our obligations hereunder.
