Third Party Claims The obligation of an indemnifying party to ------------------ indemnify another party to this Agreement under the provisions of this Article with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by Persons not parties to this Agreement (including governmental claims for penalties, fines and assessments) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) The indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any assertion of liability by a third party which might give rise to a claim for indemnification, which notice shall state the nature and basis of the assertion and the amount thereof, to the extent known, provided, however, that no delay on the part of the indemnified party in giving notice shall relieve the indemnifying party of any obligation to indemnify unless (and then solely to the extent that) the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such delay.
(b) If any action, suit or proceeding (a "Legal Action") is brought against an indemnified party with respect to which the indemnifying party may have an obligation to indemnify, the Legal Action shall be defended by the indemnifying party and such defense shall include all proceedings and appeals which counsel for the indemnified party shall reasonably deem appropriate.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous subsection of this Article, until the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of any such Legal Action, the defense shall be handled by the indemnified party. Furthermore, (i) if the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are likely to be defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; (ii) if the indemnifying party fails to provide the indemnified party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party has sufficient financial resources to defend and fulfill its indemnification obligation with respect to the Legal Action; (iii if the Legal Action involves other than money damages and seeks injunctive or other equitable relief; or (iv) if a judgment against the indemnified party will, in the good faith opinion of the indemnified party, establish a custom or precedent which will be materially adverse to the best interests of its continuing business, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of the Legal Action and the defense shall be handled by the indemnified party. If the defense of the Legal Action is handled by the indemnified party under the provisions of this subsection, the indemnifying party shall pay all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnified party in conducting such defense.
(d) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the indemnifying party (i) the indemnified party shall have the right to be represented by advisory counsel and accountants, at its own expense, (ii) the indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully informed as to the status of such Legal Action at all stages thereof, whether or not the indemnified party is represented by its own counsel, (iii) the indemnifying party shall make available to the indemnified party, and its attorneys, accountants and other representatives, all books and records of the indemnifying party relating to such Legal Action and (iv) the parties shall render to each other such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of the Legal Action.
(e) In any Legal Action initiated by a third party and defended by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not make any settlement of any claim without the written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be deemed unreasonable to withhold consent to a settlement involving injunctive or other equitable relief against the indemnified party or its assets, employees or business, or relief which the indemnified party reasonably believes could establish a custom or precedent which will be adverse to the best interests of its continuing business.
Litigation; Regulatory Action Except as Previously Disclosed in Schedule 4.2(I) no litigation, proceeding or controversy before any court or governmental agency is pending that, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on InterWest or its Subsidiaries or that alleges claims under any fair lending law or other law relating to discrimination, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Community Reinvestment Act and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and, to the best of its knowledge, no such litigation, proceeding or controversy has been threatened; and except as Previously Disclosed in Schedule 4.2(I), neither InterWest nor any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their material properties or their officers, directors or controlling persons is a party to or is subject to any order, decree, agreement, memorandum of understanding or similar arrangement with, or a commitment letter or similar submission to, any Regulatory Authority, and neither InterWest nor any of its Subsidiaries has been advised by any of such Regulatory Authorities that such authority is contemplating issuing or requesting (or is considering the appropriateness of issuing or requesting) any such order, decree, agreement, memorandum or understanding, commitment letter or similar submission.
Regulatory Enforcement Actions The Company, the Bank and its other Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all laws administered by and regulations of any Governmental Agency applicable to it or to them, the failure to comply with which would have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company, the Bank, the Company’s or the Bank’s Subsidiaries nor any of their officers or directors is now operating under any restrictions, agreements, memoranda, commitment letter, supervisory letter or similar regulatory correspondence, or other commitments (other than restrictions of general application) imposed by any Governmental Agency, nor are, to the Company’s knowledge, (a) any such restrictions threatened, (b) any agreements, memoranda or commitments being sought by any Governmental Agency, or (c) any legal or regulatory violations previously identified by, or penalties or other remedial action previously imposed by, any Governmental Agency remains unresolved.
Defense of Third Party Claims An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to VTDC or the Partnership, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), of the commencement or assertion of any Claim by a third party (collectively, a “third-party action”) in respect of which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder. 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.
Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims Promptly following the earlier of (a) receipt of notice of the commencement by a third party of any Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (b) receipt of information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 6.07 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall, by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, (a) acknowledge, as between the parties hereto, liability for, and at its option elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense or (b) object to the claim of indemnification set forth in the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.07 setting forth the grounds therefor; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not within the same thirty (30) day period give the Indemnified Party written notice acknowledging liability or objecting to such claim and setting forth the grounds therefor, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged, as between the parties hereto, its liability to the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. Any contest of a Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for; in all other events, the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification under Article VI, the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending against such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if any) within 15 days after the final resolution of such Third Party Claim (whether by the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise), or, in the case of any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged liability, within 15 days after such Indemnifying Party’s objection has been resolved by settlement, compromise or the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
