Assumption of Defense of a Third-Party Claim Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.3.1 in respect of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense, but shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense (subject to the Indemnifying Party agreeing in writing that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Article 8);provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) of any criminal or regulatory action or claim, any claim seeking material non-monetary remedies, or any claim where the indemnifiable amount, when taken together with all other outstanding claims for indemnification, would reasonably be expected to exceed twice the maximum amount for which the Indemnifying Party can be liable pursuant to this Article 8. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment (i) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and (ii) contains, as a condition of any settlement, compromise, discharge, entry of judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all Liabilities in respect of such Third-Party Claim.

Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense The Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable to Barberry of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto (a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Person to promptly give notice shall not relieve Barberry of its obligations except to the extent (if any) that Barberry shall have been prejudiced thereby. Barberry may, at its own expense, participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding (a) upon notice to the Indemnified Person and (b) upon delivery by Barberry to the Indemnified Person a written agreement that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification for all Losses arising out of such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding and that Barberry shall be liable for the entire amount of any Loss, at any time during the course of any such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) Barberry’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and (ii) Barberry shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Person upon the Indemnified Person’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding. If Barberry assumes such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Barberry. If, however, the Indemnified Person reasonably determines in its judgment that representation by Barberry’s counsel of both Barberry and the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then such Indemnified Person may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such Third Party Claim, action, suit or proceeding and Barberry shall pay all of the fees and disbursements in connection with the retention of such separate counsel. If Barberry fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party that Barberry desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant, or if Barberry gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of Barberry, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnified Person in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Person (with the consent of Barberry, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Person will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof. Whether or not Barberry chooses to defend or prosecute any such Third Party Claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.
