Defense of Claims In case any such action or proceeding is brought against an indemnified party, except as provided for in the next sentence, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by the indemnified party of such counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than costs of investigation, and the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense at its own expense. If (i) the indemnifying party fails to notify the indemnified party in writing, within 15 days after the indemnified party has given notice of the action or proceeding, that the indemnifying party will indemnify the indemnified party from and against all Losses the indemnified party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the claim, (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide the indemnified party with evidence acceptable to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party will have the financial resources to defend against the claim or proceeding and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the indemnifying party fails to defend diligently the action or proceeding within 10 days after receiving notice of such failure from such indemnified party; (iv) such indemnified party reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party or other indemnified parties which are different than those available to, or not available to, the indemnifying party; or (v) if such indemnified party reasonably shall have concluded (upon advice of its counsel) that, with respect to such claims, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party may have different, conflicting, or adverse legal positions or interests then, in any such case, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any fees and expenses therefor.
Defense of Claim In case any claim, demand or deficiency (a “Claim”) is asserted or any action is commenced or notice is given of any administrative or other proceeding against a party hereto (“Indemnified Party”) in respect of which indemnity properly sought against the other party (“Indemnitor”) pursuant to this Agreement, Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice thereof in writing to Indemnitor. Within 30 days after receipt of such notice (or prior to such earlier date as any answer in any administrative or other proceeding is due), Indemnitor may give Indemnified Party written notice of its election to conduct the defense of such Claim at its own expense (and any separate counsel engaged by Indemnified Party shall be at its expense). If Indemnitor has given Indemnified Party such notice of election to conduct the defense, Indemnified Party shall nevertheless have the right to participate in the defense thereof, but such participation shall be solely at its expense. If Indemnitor shall not notify Indemnified Party in writing (within the time hereinabove provided) of its election to conduct the defense of such Claim, Indemnified Party may (but need not) conduct (at the expense of Indemnitor) the defense of any Claim. The party assuming the defense of a Claim hereunder (the “Defending Party”) shall notify the other party of its intention to settle, compromise or satisfy any such Claim and may make such settlement, compromise or satisfaction unless such other party (the “Assuming Party”) shall notify the Defending Party in writing (within 30 days after receipt of such notice of intention to settle, compromise or satisfy) of its election to assume (at its sole expense) the defense of any such Claim and promptly thereafter take appropriate action to implement such defense. The Assuming Party shall indemnify the Defending Party and hold it harmless against any losses in excess of the amount of losses the Defending Party would have incurred if the proposed settlement had been agreed to. Indemnified Party shall cooperate with Indemnitor in any defense, at Indemnitor’s cost, and Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable access to, and copies of, records requested by Indemnitor and shall provide the reasonable assistance of Indemnified Party’s employees in connection with any defense.
Defense of Claims Brought by Third Parties If any Third Party brings a claim or otherwise asserts that a Product or Licensed Agent infringes such Third Party’s Patent or misappropriates such Third Party’s Know-How (each, a “Third-Party Infringement Claim”), the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion will promptly notify the other Party in writing. Subject to Section 9.1, [***] will have the sole right to undertake and control the defense or settlement of any Third-Party Infringement Claim using counsel of its choice, at its expense. Subject to Section 9.1, if [***] is named as a defendant in any such Third Party Infringement Claim, [***] will have the right to participate in such defense and settlement with its own counsel, at its expense. Subject to Section 9.1, [***] will not enter into any settlement of any Third-Party Infringement Claim that is instituted or threatened to be instituted against [***] without [***]’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that such consent will not be required if [***]. As requested by [***], [***] will provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to [***] in connection with [***]’s control of the defense or settlement of a Third-Party Infringement Claim. Such cooperation and assistance will include executing all necessary and proper documents and taking such actions as will be appropriate to allow [***] to control the defense and settlement of such Third-Party Infringement Claim. Subject to Section 9.1, [***] will reimburse [***] for the reasonable FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred by [***] in providing such assistance and cooperation; provided that [***] will have no obligation to reimburse [***] for any such FTE Costs and Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred if Company exercises its right to participate in the defense and settlement of a Third-Party Infringement Claim with its own counsel. [***]will keep [***] reasonably informed of the progress of any Third Party Infringement Claim. To the extent reasonable, both Parties will cooperate in good faith to [***].
Notice; Defense of Claims An indemnified party may make claims for indemnification hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the indemnifying party within the period in which indemnification claims can be made hereunder. If indemnification is sought for a claim or liability asserted by a third party, the indemnified party shall also give written notice thereof to the indemnifying party promptly after it receives notice of the claim or liability being asserted, but the failure to do so shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability except to the extent that it is prejudiced by the failure or delay in giving such notice. Such notice shall summarize the bases for the claim for indemnification and any claim or liability being asserted by a third party. Within 20 days after receiving such notice the indemnifying party shall give written notice to the indemnified party stating whether it disputes the claim for indemnification and whether it will defend against any third party claim or liability at its own cost and expense. If the indemnifying party fails to give notice that it disputes an indemnification claim within 20 days after receipt of notice thereof, it shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the claim, which shall become immediately due and payable. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to direct the defense against a third party claim or liability with counsel selected by it (subject to the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) as long as the indemnifying party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense. The indemnified party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense of a third party claim or liability at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party is advised that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party may engage separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. If no such notice of intent to dispute and defend a third party claim or liability is given by the indemnifying party, or if such good faith and diligent defense is not being or ceases to be conducted by the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right, at the expense of the indemnifying party, to undertake the defense of such claim or liability (with counsel selected by the indemnified party), and to compromise or settle it, exercising reasonable business judgment. If the third party claim or liability is one that by its nature cannot be defended solely by the indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall make available such information and assistance as the indemnifying party may reasonably request and shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in such defense, at the expense of the indemnifying party.
Notification and Defense of Claim Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by Agent of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Agent will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Corporation under this Agreement, notify the Corporation of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Agent otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Agent notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof:
Notification and Defense of Claims The Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Indemnitor in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder, but the failure so to notify the Indemnitor will not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability that the Indemnitor may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement unless the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby. With respect to any such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies the Indemnitor of the commencement thereof:
Arbitration of Claims The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit E) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described in Section 9.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.
Assertion of Claims No claim shall be brought under Section 8.2 hereof unless the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, at any time prior to the applicable Survival Date, give the Stockholder (a) written notice of the existence of any such claim, specifying the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known or (b) written notice pursuant to Section 8.4 of any third party claim, the existence of which might give rise to such a claim but the failure so to provide such notice to the Stockholder will not relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any liability which they may have to the Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or otherwise (unless and only to the extent that such failure results in the loss or compromise of any rights or defenses of the Indemnifying Persons and they were not otherwise aware of such action or claim). Upon the giving of such written notice as aforesaid, the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, shall have the right to commence legal proceedings prior or subsequent to the Survival Date for the enforcement of their rights under Section 8.2 hereof.
Payment of Claims Contractor agrees to pay all claims for labor, material, services and supplies to be furnished by Contractor hereunder, and agrees to allow no lien or charge to be fixed upon the lease, the Partnership Well or other property of the Partnership or the land upon which said Partnership Well is located.
Release of Claims Agreement The receipt of any severance payments or benefits pursuant to this Agreement is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive (the “Release”), which must become effective no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination of employment (the “Release Deadline”), and if not, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Agreement. To become effective, the Release must be executed by Executive and any revocation periods (as required by statute, regulation, or otherwise) must have expired without Executive having revoked the Release. In addition, in no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective. If the termination of employment occurs at a time during the calendar year where the Release Deadline could occur in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive’s termination of employment occurs, then any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments (as defined in Section 4(c)(i)) will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar year following the calendar year in which such termination occurs, or such later time as required by (i) the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit as set forth in Section 3, (ii) the date the Release becomes effective, or (iii) Section 4(c)(ii); provided that the first payment shall include all amounts that would have been paid to Executive if payment had commenced on the date of Executive’s termination of employment.
