Indemnification; Notice and Settlements. A party seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 (an “indemnified party”) shall give prompt notice to the party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing of any claim for recovery, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss. The indemnified party shall provide to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable thereafter all information and documentation reasonably requested by the indemnifying party to verify the claim asserted; provided that, in the event of a third party claim giving rise to the Loss, the failure of the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party on a timely basis will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to the indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnified party demonstrates that the defense of such action is materially prejudiced by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such notice. The indemnifying party shall have the right to, and shall at the request of the indemnified party, assume the defense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, of any such suit, action or proceeding at its own expense. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under Section 8.2 or 8.3 for any settlement effected without its consent of any claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
