Procedure for Indemnification Claims. If at any time a claim shall be made or threatened, or an action or proceeding shall be commenced or threatened, against a party hereto (the "Aggrieved Party") which could result in liability of the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") under its indemnification obligations hereunder, the Aggrieved Party shall give to the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of such claim, action or proceeding. Such notice shall state the basis for the claim, action or proceeding and the amount thereof (to the extent such amount is determinable at the time when such notice is given) and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding (including any action or proceeding resulting from any such claim). Failure by the Indemnifying Party to notify the Aggrieved Party of its election to defend any such claim, action or proceeding within a reasonable time shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such claim, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be deemed to have waived its right to contest and defend against any claim of the Aggrieved Party for indemnification hereunder based upon or arising out of such claim, action or proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party as to such claim, action or proceeding shall be limited to taking all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof and, to the extent the Indemnifying Party is liable for indemnification hereunder, to holding the Aggrieved Party harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and liabilities caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment or award rendered in connection with such claim, action or proceeding. The Aggrieved Party agrees to cooperate and make available to the Indemnifying Party all books and records and such officers, employees and agents as are reasonably necessary and useful in connection with the defense. The Aggrieved Party may participate, at its expense, in the defense of such claim, action or proceeding provided
