Opportunity to Defend The indemnifying party may elect to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any Asserted Liability; provided, however, the indemnifying party may not compromise or settle any Asserted Liability without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (i) such compromise or settlement requires no more than a monetary payment for which the indemnified party hereunder is fully indemnified and such settlement provides a complete release of, or dismissal with prejudice of, all claims against the indemnified party for all matters that were or could have been asserted in connection with such claim, or (ii) involves no other matters binding upon the indemnified party (other than obligations of confidentiality). If the indemnifying party elects to compromise or defend such Asserted Liability, it will within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of the Claims Notice notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so, and the indemnified party will cooperate, at the expense of the indemnifying party, in the compromise of, or defense against, such Asserted Liability. If the indemnified party fails to cooperate, then each indemnifying party will be relieved of its obligations under this Section 6 only to the extent that such indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure to cooperate. Unless and until the indemnifying party elects to defend the Asserted Liability, the indemnified party will have the right, at its option, to do so in such manner as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that the indemnified party will not settle or compromise any Asserted Liability for which it seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in (but not to control) the defense of any Asserted Liability that it has elected not to defend with its own counsel and at its own expense.
Right to Review After receiving written notice of the denial of a claim, a claimant or his representative shall be entitled to:
Independent Legal Advice Each of the parties hereby acknowledges that it has been afforded the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice and confirms by the execution and delivery of this Agreement that they have either done so or waived their right to do so in connection with the entering into of this Agreement.
Independent Advice Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, except as set forth in this Agreement, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
Right to Defend Upon receipt of notice of any matter for which indemnification might be claimed by an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such matter at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party must cooperate in any such defense or other action. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party be entitled to control the defense unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of the matter. In the event the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend, contest or otherwise protect in a timely manner against any matter, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, thereafter to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the reasonable cost thereof from the Indemnifying Party including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding or the compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise, which settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party may reject, in its reasonable judgment, within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice. Failure to reject such notice within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed an acceptance of such settlement or compromise. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to effect a settlement or compromise over the objection of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that if (i) the Indemnifying Party is contesting such claim in good faith or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party waives any right to indemnity therefor. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of such matters, the Indemnified Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party does not abandon the defense thereof, be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation undertaken by the Indemnified Party with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
