Legal Defense of Third Party Claims. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified PartyIndemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified PartyIndemnitee. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party Indemnitee for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnified Party Indemnitee shall have given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, all of the Indemnified Parties Indemnitees shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense or prosecution thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable to the Indemnified Party Indemnitee for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party Indemnitee in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks as its primary claim for relief an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party Indemnitee which the Indemnified Party Indemnitee reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages; provided, however, that if such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages; (ii) an Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable to the Indemnitee for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by Indemnified Party the Indemnitee in defending such Third Party Claim) if, in the Indemnified PartyIndemnitee's reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim; and (iii) if at any time after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim an Indemnifying Party shall fail to prosecute or shall withdraw from the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party Indemnitee shall be entitled to resume the defense thereof and the indemnifying Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnitee for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party Indemnitee in such defense.
