Indemnification by Purchaser Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its affiliates and its and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors (the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and shall reimburse the applicable Seller Indemnitee for any Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee which result from:
(a) Any material breach of a representation or warranty by Purchaser, or non-fulfillment of any covenant or obligation of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and
(b) Litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions or decrees, the basis for which occurred after the Agreement Date, resulting from any of the items described in Section 11.02(a) above; provided, however, that the applicable Seller Indemnitee has taken all commercially reasonable and appropriate actions to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses as reasonably requested by Purchaser, which such failure of mitigation shall not relieve Purchaser of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.02 but may affect the amount of such obligation; and further provided, that any Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitee pursuant to any attempt to mitigate any such losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, causes of action or expenses shall be reimbursed by Purchaser as part of its indemnification obligations in this Section 11.02. Seller shall notify Purchaser promptly after receiving written notice of the assertion of any litigation, proceedings, governmental investigations, orders, injunctions, decrees or any third party claims subject to indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”). Upon receipt of such notice of a Third Party Claim, Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim using counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Seller Indemnitee, but may not enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. A Seller Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel and to otherwise separately defend itself but shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any exercise of such rights by a Seller Indemnitee shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations and liabilities under this Section 11.02 or any other provision of this Agreement.
