Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim (a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor specifying the basis for the claim, the amounts for which Indemnitee is seeking payment under this Agreement, and all documentation related thereto as reasonably requested by the Company.
(b) In the event that the Company shall be obligated hereunder to provide indemnification for or make any advancement of Expenses with respect to any Proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, with counsel approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of the Company’s election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees or expenses of separate counsel subsequently employed by or on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding; provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee with respect to his or her separate counsel shall be Expenses hereunder.
(c) In the event that the Company does not assume the defense in a Proceeding pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then the Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.
(d) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), enter into any settlement which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, any non-monetary remedy imposed on Indemnitee or any monetary damages for which Indemnitee is not wholly and actually indemnified hereunder or (ii) with respect to any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee may be or is made a party or may be otherwise entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, does not include the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding.
Procedure for Claims (1) In the event the Indemnitee is named as a party in any action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation upon which the Indemnitee intends to base a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee shall give the Indemnitor prompt written notice of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation (provided, however, that failure of the Indemnitee to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee the Indemnitor may have under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure).
(2) The Indemnitor shall participate in and, assume the defence of any such action, including for certainty any derivative action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation all at the Indemnitor's expense provided, however, that counsel retained by the Indemnitor shall be satisfactory to the Indemnitee in the exercise of his reasonable judgement. Notwithstanding the Indemnitor's assumption of the defense of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in, but not control, the defense of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, and the Indemnitor shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel as such fees, costs and expenses are incurred (provided that with respect to any single action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnitor shall not be required to bear the fees, costs and expenses of more than one such counsel in any single jurisdiction) if (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Indemnitor to represent the Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (b) the defendants, respondents or other parties in any such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation include both the Indemnitee on the one hand and the Indemnitor on the other hand, and the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation on behalf of the Indemnitee); (c) the Indemnitor shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee in the exercise of the Indemnitee's reasonable judgment to represent him, within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, proceeding or investigation; or (d) the Indemnitor authorizes the Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at the Indemnitor's expense.
(3) The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in the Indemnitor's defense by providing such information and other assistance which the Indemnitor may reasonably request in connection with such defense.
(4) The Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnitee's prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a release of the Indemnitee from any liabilities arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding. The Indemnitee shall not, without the Indemnitor's prior written consent, admit liability, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding referred to in the preceding paragraph and the Indemnitee shall not disclose the existence of this Agreement unless required by law, subpoena, court order or upon the advice of counsel.
Procedure for Notification To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss. If, at the time of the receipt of such request, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is potentially available, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers, and copies of all subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the Company. The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantial defenses, rights or insurance coverage.
