Settlement of Third Party Claims Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Defense of Third Party Claims In the case of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right: (a) to control and conduct any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith and necessary or appropriate to defend the claim, (b) to take all other reasonable steps or proceedings to settle or defend any such Third-Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and (c) to employ counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party to contest any such Third-Party Claim in the name of the Indemnified Party or otherwise. The Indemnifying Party shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a Third-Party Claim Notice (the “Indemnity Notice Period”), give written notice to the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver to the Indemnified Party within the Indemnity Notice Period written notice that the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party may defend against any such Third-Party Claim in any such manner as it may deem appropriate, provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to fully participate in (but not control) such defense (including with counsel of its choice), at its sole expense, and the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation. In the event that either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided above (the “Controlling Party”), the non-Controlling Party shall have the right to fully participate (but not control) in such defense (including with counsel of its choice), at its sole expense, and the Controlling Party shall reasonably cooperate with the non-Controlling Party in connection with such participation; provided, however, that Buyer and Seller shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts with respect to any information shared pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) to preserve attorney-client privilege.
Conduct of Third Party Claims If the matter or circumstance that may give rise to a Claim other than a Tax Claim is a result of or in connection with a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) then:
11.4.1 the Purchaser shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and subject to Applicable Law, consult with the Seller in relation to the conduct of the Third Party Claim and shall take reasonable account of the views of the Seller before taking any action in relation to the Third Party Claim;
11.4.2 no admissions in relation to the Third Party Claim shall be made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Group and the Third Party Claim shall not be compromised, disposed of or settled without the written consent of the Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
11.4.3 subject to the Seller indemnifying the Purchaser or member of the Purchaser’s Group concerned against all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal and professional costs and expenses) that may be incurred thereby, the Purchaser shall, or the Purchaser shall procure that the members of the Purchaser’s Group shall, take such action as the Seller may reasonably request to avoid, dispute, deny, defend, resist, appeal, compromise or contest the Third Party Claim;
11.4.4 the Seller shall, subject in each case to being paid all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses:
(i) make available to the Purchaser and the relevant Group Company such persons and all such information as the Purchaser may reasonably request for assessing, contesting, disputing, defending, compromising or appealing the Third Party Claim; and
(ii) shall give the Purchaser and the relevant Group Company reasonable access to its premises and to its books and records for such purpose during normal business hours on any Business Day following reasonable notice being given to the Seller;
11.4.5 subject to 11.4.3, the Seller shall be entitled at its own expense and in its absolute discretion, by notice in writing to the Purchaser, to assume conduct of any Third Party Claim and to have the conduct of any related proceedings, negotiations or appeals;
11.4.6 if the Seller sends a notice to the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 11.4.5 and until such time as any final compromise, agreement, expert determination or non-appealable decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction is made in respect of that Third Party Claim or that Third Party Claim is otherwise finally disposed of:
(i) the Purchaser shall, and the Purchaser shall procure that any member of the Purchaser’s Group shall:
(a) give, subject to being paid all reasonable costs and expenses, all such information and assistance including access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records (excluding, in each case, information or documents which are protected by legal professional privilege but including, in each case, information or documents that are subject to common interest privilege), as the Seller may reasonably request, including instructing such professional or legal advisers as the Seller may nominate to act on behalf of the Purchaser or other member of the Purchaser’s Group concerned but in accordance with the Seller’s instructions, provided that the appointment of such adviser or advisers shall have been approved in writing by the Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and
(b) not make any admission of liability, agreement or compromise in relation to that Third Party Claim without the prior written approval of the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);
(ii) the Seller shall:
(a) consult with the Purchaser and take reasonable account of the views of the Purchaser before taking any action in relation to the Third Party Claim;
(b) without prejudice to its ability to defend the Third Party Claim, conduct the Third Party Claim with a view to minimising any material harm to the goodwill and reputation of the Wider Group or the Purchaser’s Group;
(c) keep the Purchaser informed of all relevant matters relating to the Third Party Claim and shall promptly forward or procure to be forwarded to the Purchaser copies of all correspondence and other written communications with such other information, including non-written records (except information or documents which are protected by legal professional privilege), relating to the Third Party Claim;
(d) not make any admission of liability, settlement or compromise of the Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Purchaser or member of the Purchaser’s Group fails to consent to a settlement or compromise, the maximum liability of the Seller shall (without prejudice to Clause 10) not exceed the full amount of the proposed settlement or compromise and the Purchaser or member of the Purchaser’s Group shall be liable for any damages awarded in excess of the proposed settlement or compromise and costs incurred from (and including) the date the Seller notified the Purchaser of the settlement or compromise; and
(e) indemnify, save as set out in Clause 11.4.6(ii)(d), the Purchaser or other member of the Purchaser’s Group concerned against all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal and professional costs and expenses) that may be incurred as a result of the Seller assuming conduct of the Third Party Claim.
11.4.7 The covenants in this Clause 11.4 may be enforced:
(i) by any Group Company against the Seller; and
(ii) by any member of the Seller’s Group against the Purchaser or a Group Company, under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Xxx 0000.
11.4.8 The provisions of this Clause 11.4 may be varied or terminated by agreement between the Seller and the Purchaser (and the Purchaser may also release or compromise in whole or in part any liability in respect of rights or claims contemplated by this Clause 11.4) without the consent of any Group Company.
Defense and Settlement of Third Party Claims The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (without prejudice to the right of any Indemnified Party to participate at its or his own expense through counsel of its or his own choosing) to defend against any Third Party Claim at its or his expense and through counsel of its or his own choosing and to control such defense if the Indemnifying Party gives written notice of its or his intention to do so within 15 business days of its or his receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully in all reasonable respects in the defense of such Third Party Claim and shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its or his counsel all pertinent information under their control relating thereto. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to elect to settle any Third Party Claim; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not have any indemnification obligation with respect to any monetary payment to any third party required by such settlement unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to elect to settle any Third Party Claim subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party fails to give such consent within 15 business days of being requested to do so, the Indemnified Party shall, at its expense, assume the defense of such Third Party Claim and regardless of the outcome of such matter, the Indemnifying Party's liability hereunder shall be limited to the amount of any such proposed settlement. The foregoing provisions notwithstanding, in no event (a) may either Indemnifying Party adjust, compromise or settle any Third Party Claim unless such adjustment, compromise or settlement unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liability, (b) may the Company Indemnifying Party adjust, compromise or settle any Third Party Claim if such adjustment, compromise or settlement affects the absolute and sole right of Provant or the Surviving Corporation to own or use any of the Company's assets or (c) may the Company Indemnifying Party defend any Third Party Claim which, if adversely determined, would materially impair the financial condition, business or prospects of Provant or the Surviving Corporation.
RECOVERY FROM THIRD PARTIES 11.1 If
11.1.1 the Seller makes a payment in respect of a Warranty Claim by the Purchaser (the “Damages Payment”);
11.1.2 any member of the Purchaser’s Group recovers from a third party (including pursuant to any insurance policy) any sum in cash or in kind which compensates it in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter to that Warranty Claim (the “Third Party Sum”);
11.1.3 the receipt of that Third Party Sum was not taken into account in calculating the Damages Payment; and
11.1.4 the aggregate of the Third Party Sum and the Damages Payment exceeds the amount required to compensate the Purchaser in full for the Loss or Liability which gave rise to the Warranty Claim in question, such excess being the “Excess Recovery”, then the Purchaser shall, promptly on receipt of the Third Party Sum by any member of the Purchaser’s Group, repay to the Seller an amount equal to the lower of (i) the Excess Recovery and (ii) the Damages Payment, after deducting (in either case) all additional Tax and any costs incurred by the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group in recovering that Third Party Sum.
11.2 If, before the Seller pays any amount in respect of any Warranty Claim under this Agreement, any EDS Entity is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates any relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss or Liability which is the subject matter of the Warranty Claim, the Purchaser shall procure that, before steps are taken against the Seller, the Purchaser will make reasonable efforts to enforce recovery against the third party and any actual recovery shall reduce or satisfy, as applicable, such Warranty Claim to the extent of such recovery, provided that the Seller first indemnifies the Purchaser’s Group and the EDS Entities against any Tax that may be suffered on receipt of any sum recovered thereunder, together with any costs or expenses incurred in recovering such sum.
Notice of Third Party Claims Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 9201, District shall provide Contractor timely notification of the receipt of any third-party claim relating to this Contract. District shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs incurred in providing such notification.
