Third Party Claims. If a claim by a third party is made against a Seller Indemnified Party or a Buyer Indemnified Party (each, an "Indemnified Party"), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under Article 5 or this Article 11, such Indemnified Party shall promptly furnish written notice to the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") of such claim. The failure of the Indemnified Party to deliver prompt written notice of a claim shall not affect the indemnity obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party was substantially disadvantaged by such delay in delivery notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to undertake, conduct, and control (through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense) the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party (but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party). So long as the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's cost and expense, (i) has undertaken the defense of, and assumed full responsibility for all indemnified liabilities with respect to, such claim, (ii) is reasonably contesting such claim in good faith, by appropriate proceedings, and (iii) has taken such action (including the posting of a bond, deposit, or other security) as may be necessary to prevent any action to foreclose a lien against or attachment of the property of the Indemnified Party for payment of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim. Notwithstanding compliance by the Indemnifying Party with the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim, but in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity by the Indemnifying Party for such claim. If within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party's notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder, the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that it elects (at the Indemnifying Party's cost and expense) to undertake the defense thereof and assume full responsibility for all indemnified liabilities with respect thereto, or gives such notice and thereafter fails to contest such claim in good faith or to prevent action to foreclose a...
Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.03(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party.
Third Party Claims. (a) If any third party shall notify any Indemnified Party in writing with respect to any matter involving a claim by such third party (a “Third Party Claim”) which such Indemnified Party believes would give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article IV, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such claim and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement.
(b) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by, within (30) days of receipt of the Claim Notice, notifying the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and upon delivery of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to fully control and settle the proceeding, provided, that, any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party.
(c) If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including the making of any related counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any person. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to any Third Party Claim, other than any privileged communications between the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, and shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain separate co-counsel and participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 4.2(b).
(d) In the event of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make such an election within the 30 days of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle, compr...
Third Party Claims. (a) If any party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1 (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any such third person of any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, arbitration, hearing, inquiry, proceeding, complaint, charge or investigation by or before any governmental entity or arbitrator and an appeal from any of the foregoing (any such claim or Action being referred to herein as an “Indemnifiable Claim”) with respect to which another party hereto (an “Indemnifying Party”) is or may be obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (the “Claim Notice”) of the Indemnifiable Claim; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve or otherwise affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to provide indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that any damages directly resulted or were caused by such failure.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, that (A) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be borne by the Indemnifying Party, and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Indemnifiable Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. So long as the Indemnifying Party is vigorously contesting any such Indemnifiable Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice that it elects to undertake the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim described therein, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle, or compromise the Indemnifiable Claim in the exercise of its reasonable discretion; provided, that the Indemnifi...
Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion by any third party of a claim against a Seller Indemnitee which gives rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement (“Third Party Claims”), the Buyer will have the right, at its cost and expense and subject to the terms of this clause 10.3(b), to assume the defence thereof including the appointment and selection of counsel. If the Buyer elects to assume the defence of any Third Party Claim, it shall within 30 days notify the Seller Indemnitee in writing of its intent to do so. In the event the Buyer exercises its right to undertake the defence against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Seller Indemnitee shall cooperate with the reasonable requirements of the Buyer in such defence and make available to the Buyer all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such party’s possession or under its control relating thereto as may be reasonably required by the Buyer (save to the extent that such information is bound by a duty of confidentiality based on the written opinion of counsel), and the relevant Seller Indemnitee may participate by its own counsel and at its own expense in defense of such Third Party Claim. Except for the settlement of a Third Party Claim which involves the payment of money only which is to be paid in full by the Buyer, no Third Party Claim for which the Buyer has elected to defend may be settled by the Buyer without the prior written consent of the relevant Seller Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that a Seller Indemnitee shall have sole discretion in relation to settlement of any claim involving criminal liability of such Seller Indemnitee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to assume the defence of a Third Party Claim the Buyer shall have agreed to fully indemnify the relevant Seller Indemnitee on demand in respect of any fees, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by such Seller Indemnitee as a result of the relevant Third Party Claim or in connection with any action taken by the Buyer in connection therewith provided that the relevant Seller Indemnitee shall not be prohibited by the foregoing provisions from settling or paying any Third Party Claim immediately if it is under a legal obligation (based on the written opinion of counsel) to do so and such settlement or payment shall not impair its rights to indemnity under this Agreement.
Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and ...
Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Target Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 9.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of cou...
Third Party Claims. (i) Promptly after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of, or otherwise acquiring knowledge of the assertion of, any third party claim in respect of which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is reasonably likely to be entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under this Article 12 (“Third-Party Claims”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying Party, specifying in reasonable detail the information then available regarding the amount and nature of Losses with respect thereto; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability hereunder with respect to such Third-Party Claim, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such failure has actually and materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim (with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice, approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Indemnified Party may, at its election and expense, participate in (but not control) the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume the defense in a timely manner, (A) the Indemnified Party may assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in a reasonable manner, and (B) the Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, at its election and expense. The Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the defense or handling of such Third-Party Claims. If the Third-Party Claim is, in fact, a Third-Party Claim to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified against under this Article 12, the Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs incident to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, including attorneys’ fees, litigation and appeal expenses, settlement payments and amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments (provided, however, that such costs and amounts are reasonable to the extent not incurred directly by the Indemnifying Party). If the Third-Party Claim is, in fact, not a Third-Party Claim to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified against under this Article 12, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for all costs incident to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, including attorneys’ fees, litigatio...
Third Party Claims. With respect to third party claims, if within twenty (20) days after receiving the notice described in clause (a) above the indemnifying party gives (i) written notice to the indemnified party stating that (A) it would be liable under the provisions hereof for indemnity in the amount of such claim if such claim were successful and (B) that it disputes and intends to defend against such claim, liability or expense at its own cost and expense and (ii) provides reasonable assurance to the indemnified party that such claim will be promptly paid in full if required, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the indemnifying party (subject to the consent of the indemnified party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the indemnified party shall not be required to make any payment with respect to such claim, liability or expense as long as the indemnifying party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the assumption of defense of any such matters by the indemnifying party shall relate solely to the claim, liability or expense that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification. The indemnifying party shall have the right, with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled provided the indemnifying parties' obligation to indemnify the indemnified party therefor will be fully satisfied. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish the indemnified party with all documents and information that the indemnified party shall reasonably request and shall consult with the indemnified party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, the indemnified party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the expense of separate counsel for the indemnified party shall be paid by the indemnifying party. If no such notice of...
Third Party Claims. (a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 11.2, 11.3 (to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 11.3) or 11.4 (an "Indemnified Person") of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an "Indemnifying Person") of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person's failure to give such notice.
(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 11.9(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 11 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person's Consent unless (A...
