Claims Involving Litigation. Within 30 days after notification to any indemnified party with respect to any claim or legal action or other matters that may result in a Loss for which indemnification may be sought under this Article, but in any event in time sufficient for the indemnifying party to contest any action, claim, proceeding or other matter that has become the subject of proceedings before any court or tribunal, the indemnified party shall give written notice of the claim, legal action or other matter to the indemnifying party and, at the request of the indemnifying party, shall furnish the indemnifying party or its counsel with copies of all pleadings and other information with respect to the claim, legal action or other matter. If the information includes any matter which is privileged or otherwise exempt from discovery by an adverse party, disclosure of that matter may be made contingent upon entering into a joint defense agreement or taking other reasonable protective measures. The failure to provide that notice within the time specified shall not relieve an indemnifying party of its indemnity obligations hereunder except to the extent of any Losses which are attributable to that failure. Upon the election of the indemnifying party made within 60 days after receipt of that notice by the indemnifying party, indemnifying party shall have the right to assume control of that claim, legal action or other matter (to the extent only that the claim, legal action or other matter relates to a Loss for which the indemnifying party is liable), including the determination of all appropriate actions, the negotiation of settlements on behalf of the indemnified party, and the conduct of litigation through attorneys of the indemnifying party's choice, provided, however, that no settlement can result in any liability or cost to the indemnified party for which it is entitled to be indemnified hereunder without its consent. If the indemnifying party elects to assume control, (i) any expense incurred by the indemnified party thereafter for investigation or defense of the matter shall be borne by the indemnified party and (ii) the indemnified party shall give all reasonable information and assistance, other than pecuniary, that the indemnifying party shall deem necessary to the proper defense of the claim, legal action, or other matter, subject to the requirements, if applicable, of a joint defense agreement or reasonable protective measures as referred to above. In the absence of an election, the indemnified party will use good faith efforts to defend, at the indemnifying party's expense any claim, legal action or other matter to which the other party's indemnification under this Article applies until the indemnifying party assumes the defense, and, if the indemnifying party fails to assume that defense within the time period provided above, at the indemnified party's election either continue the defense thereof, at the indemnifying party's expense, or settle the same in the indemnified party's reasonable discretion, and with the consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the indemnifying party's expense.
