Defense of Tax Claims Sample Clauses

Defense of Tax Claims. This Lease does not grant to NAI any right to control the defense of or contest any tax claim for which an Interested Party may have a right to indemnity under subparagraph 5(C), other than the right to contest Local Impositions as provided in subparagraph 5(A), nor does this Lease grant to NAI the right to inspect the income tax returns, books or records of any Interested Party. Nevertheless, if a tax claim is asserted against BNPPLC for which it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to subparagraph 5(C), BNPPLC will consider in good faith any defenses and strategies proposed by NAI with regard to such claim. Further, if any such tax claim is asserted against BNPPLC which involves assertions that apply not only to the transactions contemplated by this Lease, but also to other similar transactions in which BNPPLC has participated, then BNPPLC will not settle the claim on a basis that results in a disproportionately greater tax burden with respect to the transactions contemplated herein than with respect to such other similar transactions. For example, if taxing authorities assert that both this Lease and other comparable lease agreements made by BNPPLC are not financing arrangements as intended by the parties thereto, and on the basis of such assertions the taxing authorities claim that BNPPLC owes income taxes which are not Excluded Taxes, then BNPPLC will not settle the claim in a manner that would cause NAI’s liability under subparagraph 5(C) to be disproportionately greater than the indemnity obligation of another similarly situated tenant of BNPPLC under another lease agreement with an indemnity provision comparable to subparagraph 5(C). Also, BNPPLC will not grant to another tenant the right to dictate to BNPPLC the tax position BNPPLC must take in regard to the Property or the Operative Documents, except that BNPPLC may include provisions comparable to the foregoing in other leases to assure other tenants against a disproportionately greater burden than NAI will bear in regard to any settlement of a tax claim by BNPPLC.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.03, Investor shall be solely responsible for controlling the defense of such Tax Claim. (c) If such Tax Claim relates to a pre-Closing Tax period or to the election or termination of the Company’s S Corporation status during a pre-Closing Tax period, Sellers’ Representative shall control, defend, settle, compromise, or contest such Tax Claim; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) Sellers’ Representative shall keep Investor and the Company fully informed of any proceedings, events and developments related to or in connection with such Tax Claim; (ii) Investor and the Company shall be entitled to receive copies of all correspondence and documents related to such Tax Claim; (iii) Sellers’ Representative shall consult with Investor and shall not enter into any settlement with respect to any such Tax Claim without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and (iv) Investor and/or the Company shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim, each at its own cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Sellers’ Representative wishes to settle a Tax Claim and the Company and/or Investor withholds its consent, Investor or the Company shall take over control of the Tax Claim at its own cost and expense and, to the extent that the amount of the Tax Claim ultimately is determined to be greater than the amount for which Sellers’ Representative was willing to settle, Investor or the Company, as the case may be, shall bear such excess cost, including interest and/or penalties accruing on or after...

Licensee shall cause each of its Affiliates and each Sublicensee to notify Licensee promptly in the event such entity becomes aware that its practice of the Licensed Patents is the subject of a claim of patent infringement by another.

  • 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.

Any failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article VII unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such third-party action on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that: (a) The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party action (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such third-party action; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to have charge of such third-party action; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (iv) the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a material conflict of interest that could violate applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel); (b) The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into or making any settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of such third-party action or any liability in respect thereof if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if, in the opinion of the Indemnified Party, such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment could have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Indemnified Party; (c) The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third-party action; and (d) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any third-party action (i) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time or (ii) to the extent the third-party action seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party. The Parties shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any third-party action pursuant to this Article VII and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.

  • Defense of Proceedings In case any Indemnified Proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, it shall notify the applicable Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof as provided in Section 10(c), and such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in, and provided such Indemnified Proceeding involves a claim solely for money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and is not a criminal or regulatory action, to assume the defense of, such Indemnified Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of such Indemnifying Party’s election so to assume the defense thereof and the failure by such Indemnified Party to object to such counsel within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such notice, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for legal or other expenses related to such Indemnified Proceedings incurred after such notice of election to assume such defense except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigating, monitoring or cooperating in such defense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party reasonably necessary in connection with the defense thereof. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its counsel in any such Indemnified Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the employment of counsel by such Indemnified Party at the expense of the applicable Indemnifying Party has been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party; (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded in its good faith (which conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not reached reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between the applicable Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding or that there are or may be one or more different or additional defenses, claims, counterclaims, or causes of action available to such Indemnified Party (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party); (iii) the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that (A) this clause (iii) shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any conflict of interest that may arise with respect to any such counsel, and (B) an Indemnified Party may not invoke this clause (iii) if such Indemnified Party failed to timely object to such counsel pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 10(d) above (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (iii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party); or (iv) any counsel employed by the applicable Indemnifying Party shall fail to timely commence or reasonably conduct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding and such failure has prejudiced (or is in immediate danger of prejudicing) the outcome of such Indemnified Proceeding (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (iv) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party); in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for such Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party. Only one counsel shall be retained by all Indemnified Parties with respect to any Indemnified Proceeding, unless counsel for any Indemnified Party reasonably concludes in good faith (which conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not reached reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and one or more other Indemnified Parties in the conduct of the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding or that there are or may be one or more different or additional defenses, claims, counterclaims, or causes or action available to such Indemnified Party.

  • Defense of Actions In any case in which 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 participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, 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, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party, (ii) counsel to the indemnifying party has informed the indemnifying party that the joint representation of the indemnifying party and one or more indemnified parties could be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or is reasonably likely to be prejudiced by such delay, in any such event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining separate legal counsel). An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). The indemnifying party shall lose its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle a matter if it shall fail to diligently contest such matter (except to the extent settled in accordance with the next following sentence). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it being understood that the indemnified party shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in withholding its consent if the proposed settlement imposes any obligation on the indemnified party).

  • Indemnification for Certain Claims The Party providing services hereunder, its affiliates and its parent company, shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by the Party receiving services hereunder against any claim, loss or damage arising from the receiving company’s use of the services provided under this Agreement pertaining to (1) claims for libel, slander or invasion of privacy arising from the content of the receiving company’s own communications, or (2) any claim, loss or damage claimed by the End User of the Party receiving services arising from such company’s use or reliance on the providing company’s services, actions, duties, or obligations arising out of this Agreement.
