Actions against Parties; Notification Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
Action Against Parties; Notification Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of, and unconditional release of all liabilities from, the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Certain Settlement Provisions The Corporation shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit or proceeding without the Corporation’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Corporation shall not settle any action, suit or proceeding in any manner that would impose any fine or other obligation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
COMPLIANCE WITH BREACH NOTIFICATION AND DATA SECURITY LAWS Contractor shall comply with the provisions of the New York State Information Security Breach and Notification Act (General Business Law § 899-aa and State Technology Law § 208) and commencing March 21, 2020 shall also comply with General Business Law § 899-bb.
Certain Notifications (a) From the date hereof until the Closing, except as Previously Disclosed, AIG shall promptly notify the FRBNY, the UST and the Trust of (i) any fact, event or circumstance to the knowledge of AIG which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty of AIG contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or to cause any covenant or agreement of AIG or any SPV contained in this Agreement not to be complied with or satisfied in any material respect, (ii) any fact, circumstance, event, change, occurrence, condition or development of which AIG is aware and which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have an AIG Material Adverse Effect or (iii) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 9.05(a) shall not limit or affect any rights of or remedies available to the FRBNY, the UST, the Trust or any of the Trustees; provided, further, that a failure to comply with clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 9.05(a) shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or the failure of any condition set forth in Section 10.02(a) to be satisfied unless the underlying AIG Material Adverse Effect or material breach would independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.02(a) to be satisfied.
(b) From and after the Closing Date, AIG shall promptly notify the FRBNY and the UST of any fact, event or circumstance to the knowledge of AIG which would reasonably be expected to cause any covenant or agreement of AIG or any SPV contained in this Agreement that contemplates performance after the Closing Date not to be complied with or satisfied in any material respect; provided, however, that delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 9.05(b) shall not limit or affect any rights of or remedies available to the FRBNY or the UST.
