Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Third Party Claims (a) In order for a party (the “indemnified party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any person against the indemnified party (a “Third Party Claim”), such indemnified party must notify the indemnifying party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim within ten (10) business days after receipt by such indemnified party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the indemnified party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, promptly after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim.
Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims (a) In the event that any party (the “Indemnified Person”) desires to make a claim against any other party (the “Indemnifying Person”) in connection with any Losses for which the Indemnified Person may seek indemnification hereunder in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifying Person in writing, of the Third-Party Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”) as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt, by such Indemnified Person of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, that failure to give a Third-Party Claim Notice on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Person’s election, to assume or participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the cost of Indemnifying Person. In any case in which the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall give the Indemnified Person ten (10) calendar days’ notice prior to executing any settlement agreement and the Indemnified Person shall have the right to approve or reject the settlement and related expenses; provided, however, that upon rejection of any settlement and related expenses, the Indemnified Person shall assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the liability of the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall be limited to the amount or the monetary equivalent of the rejected settlement and related expenses.
Indemnification by Licensee Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensor and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, successors and assigns, (collectively, the “Licensor Parties”) from and against any Action, and any and all direct losses suffered or incurred by Licensor in connection with any third party claims (a) arising out of or resulting from any breach by Licensee of any provision of this Agreement, (b) regarding the Content (other than Licensed Content) of the websites associated with Licensed Domain Names, or (c) regarding any Content that was subject to a request for removal by a Governmental Authority, even if Licensee removes such Content within the time period proscribed by the Governmental Authority, provided that, in all cases, Licensee shall not be liable for any direct losses suffered or incurred by Licensor as a result of Licensor’s failure to provide Licensee with a reasonable period of time to remove Content in cases where (i) the basis or nature of the offense has not previously been identified by any Governmental Authority as offensive or inappropriate and (ii) Licensee has not also received notice from the Governmental Authority. Licensee’s obligation to indemnify Licensor shall be conditioned on (x) Licensor’s provision to Licensee of prompt notice of such an Action (except where any delay does not materially prejudice Licensee); (y) Licensor’s reasonable cooperation with Licensee in the defense and settlement of such an Action at Licensee’s cost; and (z) Licensee having exclusive control of the defense, settlement and/or compromise of such an Action (provided that Licensee may not settle any Action in a manner that adversely affects Licensor without Licensor’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
No Infringement of Third Party IP Rights Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating, or has ever infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated, any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person. The conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries has not infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person or constituted unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction, and when conducted in substantially the same manner after the date of this Agreement will not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person, including patents issuing on patent applications filed as of the date of this Agreement, or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction (except to the extent due to Company’s ownership by Buyer or its affiliates). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) no product or service ever produced, distributed, used, provided or sold by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has ever infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Intellectual Property Right of any other Person; (ii) no infringement, misappropriation or similar Action, or any Action alleging unfair competition or trade practices, is pending or has been threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary or against any other Person who may be entitled to be indemnified, defended, held harmless or reimbursed by the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to such Action; (iii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice or other communication (in writing or otherwise) relating to any actual, alleged or suspected infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Right of another Person, or any actual, alleged or suspected engagement by the Company or any Subsidiary in unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction; (iv) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is bound by any Contract to indemnify, defend, hold harmless or reimburse any other Person with respect to any infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Right (other than as set forth in Section 3.13(h) of the Disclosure Schedule); and (v) no Action involving any Licensed IP is pending or has been threatened, except for any such Action that, if adversely determined, would not adversely affect (A) the use or exploitation of such Licensed IP by the Company or any Subsidiary or (B) the distribution, hosting, delivery or sale of any Company Product. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has ever sought or obtained an opinion of counsel regarding any possible infringement, misappropriation, violation or unlawful use of another Person’s Intellectual Property Rights or the validity or enforceability of another Person’s Intellectual Property Rights.
Indemnification Procedure for Claims of Third Parties Indemnification, with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by those not parties to this Contract (including governmental claims for penalties, fines and assessments), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims If a claim by a third party (including claims for breaches of fiduciary duties) is made against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto from the Company (in the case of a Purchaser Indemnified Party seeking such indemnity) or the Purchaser (in the case of a Company Indemnified Party seeking indemnity) (each of the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, in such capacity, an “Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give notice in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable to such Indemnifying Party of any Proceeding commenced against or by it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have on account of this Article VI, so long as such failure shall not have materially prejudiced the position of such Indemnifying Party. Upon such notification, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding brought by a third party, and, after such assumption, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any expenses thereafter incurred by it in connection with such Proceeding, except as described below. In any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel (including local counsel), but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to promptly assume and thereafter conduct such defense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (iii) in the reasonable determination of counsel for the Indemnified Party, representation of such Indemnified Party by counsel obtained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of a third-party claim, shall, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by such Indemnifying Party), but if settled with such consent or if there be final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party will advance expenses to an Indemnified Party as reasonably incurred so long as such indemnified party shall have provided the indemnifying party with a written undertaking to reimburse the indemnifying party for all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder (which shall include breaches of fiduciary duty if permitted above).
Indemnification by Licensor Licensor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, successors and assigns, (collectively, the “Licensee Parties”) from and against any claim, suit, demand or action (“Action”), and any and all direct losses suffered or incurred by Licensee in connection with any third party claims (a) arising out of or resulting from any breach by Licensor of any provision of this Agreement or (b) that use of the Licensed Marks by Licensee in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement infringes or otherwise violates a third party’s Trademarks. Licensor’s obligation to indemnify Licensee shall be conditioned on (a) Licensee’s provision to Licensor of prompt notice of such an Action (except where any delay does not materially prejudice Licensor); (b) Licensee’s reasonable cooperation with Licensor in the defense and settlement of such an Action at Licensor’s cost; and (c) Licensor having exclusive control of the defense, settlement and/or compromise of such an Action (provided that Licensor may not settle any Action in a manner that adversely affects Licensee without Licensee’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims In the event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification claim against the Shareholder under this Agreement that does not involve a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice of such claim to the Shareholder in writing and in reasonable detail. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Shareholder shall not relieve the Shareholder from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Shareholder has been actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Shareholder does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Shareholder disputes such claim, such claim specified by the Shareholder in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Shareholder under this Article VII and the Shareholder shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand, or in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim is finally determined. If the Shareholder disputes its liability with respect to such claim in a timely manner, Shareholder and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.9.
Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Tax Claims If a claim shall be made by any taxing authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to the Buyer, one of its affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, agents or representatives pursuant to Section 9(a), then the Buyer shall give notice to the Sellers in writing of such claim and of any counterclaim the Buyer proposes to assert (a "Tax Claim"); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the -------- ------- indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Sellers have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. If a Tax Claim shall be made by any taxing authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to either of the Sellers or one of their affiliates pursuant to Section 9(a), then the Sellers shall give notice to the Buyer in writing of such Tax Claim; provide, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not ------- ------- affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Buyer has been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a taxable period ending on or prior to December 31, 1998, the Sellers shall control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in their sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any taxing authority with respect thereto, and may, in their sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and xxx for a refund where applicable law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, however, that the Sellers must first consult in -------- ------- good faith with the Buyer before taking any action with respect to the conduct of a Tax Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Sellers shall not settle any Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the Buyer, and counsel of its own choosing, shall have the right to participate fully in all aspects of the defense of such Tax Claim, (iii) the Sellers shall inform the Buyer, reasonably promptly in advance, of the date, time and place of all administrative and judicial meetings, conferences, hearings and other proceedings relating to such Tax Claim, (iv) the Buyer shall be entitled to have its representatives (including counsel, accountants and consultants) attend and participate in any such administrative and judicial meetings, conferences, hearings and other proceedings relating to such Tax Claim and (v) the Sellers shall provide to the Buyer all information, document requests and responses, proposed notices of deficiency, notices of deficiency, revenue agent's reports, protests, petitions and any other documents relating to such Tax Claim promptly upon receipt from, or in advance of submission to (as the case may be), the relevant taxing authority. The Sellers and the Buyer shall jointly control and participate in all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period. Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall settle any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the other. The Buyer shall control all proceedings with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a taxable period beginning after December 31, 1998. None of the Sellers shall have any right to participate in the conduct of any such proceeding. The Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and each of its affiliates, on the one hand, to, and each Seller and its affiliates, on the other hand, shall, reasonably cooperate in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include the retention and, upon request, the provision to the requesting person of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.
Benefits of Agreement; No Third-Party Rights None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditor of the Company or by any creditor of the Member. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any right in any Person (other than Covered Persons) not a party hereto, and this Agreement shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any third Person.
