Time Limit for Claims No Indemnified Party may make a Claim for indemnification under Section 6.1 in respect of any Claim unless notice in writing of the Claim, incorporating a statement setting out in reasonable detail the grounds on which the Claim is based, has been given by the Indemnified Party prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period as set forth in Part VI of Appendix B.
Pending Claims There are no (i) claims, demands, litigation, proceedings or governmental investigations pending or to Seller’s knowledge threatened, against Seller, the Manager or any Affiliate of any of them (collectively, “Seller Parties”) or related to the business or assets of the Hotel, except as set forth on Exhibit I attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, (ii) special assessments or extraordinary taxes except as set forth in the Title Commitment or (iii) pending or threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceedings which would affect the Property or any part thereof. To Seller’s knowledge, there are no other: pending arbitration proceedings or unsatisfied arbitration awards, or judicial proceedings or orders respecting awards, which might become a lien on the Property or any portion thereof, pending unfair labor practice charges or complaints, unsatisfied unfair labor practice orders or judicial proceedings or orders with respect thereto, pending charges or complaints with or by city, state or federal civil or human rights agencies, unremedied orders by such agencies or judicial proceedings or orders with respect to obligations under city, state or federal civil or human rights or antidiscrimination laws or executive orders affecting the Hotel, or other pending, actual or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened litigation claims, charges, complaints, petitions or unsatisfied orders by or before any administrative agency or court which affect the Hotel or might become a lien on the Hotel (collectively, the “Pending Claims”).
Indemnification Proceedings In the event that any claim or demand for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”), would be liable to the another party under Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 (an “Indemnified Party”) is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, but the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article XI, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim or demand is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from receipt of the above notice from the Indemnified Party (in this Section 11.5, the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand; provided, that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of such claim or demand (or fails to give notice to the Indemnified Party during the Notice Period), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim or demand with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the claim or demand is asserted against both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and based on the advice of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party it is determined that there is a conflict of interest which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for paying separate counsel for the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for paying for more than one separate firm of attorneys to represent all of the Indemnified Parties, regardless of the number of Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such claim or demand, (i) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
Assistance in Litigation or Administrative Proceedings Covered Entity shall provide written notice to Business Associate if litigation or administrative proceeding is commenced against Covered Entity, its directors, officers, or employees, based on a claimed violation by Business Associate of HIPAA, the HIPAA Rules or other laws relating to security and privacy or PHI. Upon receipt of such notice and to the extent requested by Covered Entity, Business Associate shall, and shall cause its employees, Subcontractors, or agents assisting Business Associate in the performance of its obligations under the Contract to, assist Covered Entity in the defense of such litigation or proceedings. Business Associate shall, and shall cause its employees, Subcontractor’s and agents to, provide assistance, to Covered Entity, which may include testifying as a witness at such proceedings. Business Associate or any of its employees, Subcontractors or agents shall not be required to provide such assistance if Business Associate is a named adverse party.
Infringement Proceedings Each Party agrees to promptly notify the other Party of any unauthorized use of the other Party's Marks of which it has actual knowledge. Each Party will have the sole right and discretion to bring proceedings alleging infringement of its Marks or unfair competition related thereto; provided, however, that each Party agrees to provide the other Party with its reasonable cooperation and assistance with respect to any such infringement proceedings.
Litigation; Proceedings Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 3.1(g), there is no action, suit, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties before or by any court, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) which (i) relates to or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents, the Shares or the Underlying Shares, (ii) could, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) could, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of the Company to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
Judicial or Administrative Proceedings Business Associate shall notify County if it is named as a defendant in a criminal proceeding for a violation of HIPAA. County may terminate this Agreement if Business Associate is found guilty of a criminal violation of HIPAA. County may terminate this Agreement if a finding or stipulation that the Business Associate has violated any standard or requirement of HIPAA, or other security or privacy laws is made in any administrative or civil proceeding in which the Business Associate is a party or has been joined.
Indemnification in Derivative Actions and Direct Actions by the Company Subject to Section 10 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, against any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of such proceedings.
Method of Asserting Claims All claims for indemnification under Section 9, other than any Tax Claim (which shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in Section 9.4) and any Environmental Claim (which shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in Section 9.5), will be asserted and resolved as follows:
9.3.1 Subject to the provisions of each of Section 9.1 and Section 9.2, a party claiming indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by a third party against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall deliver notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to timely give such Claim Notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have (i) been prejudiced as a result of such failure or (ii) forfeited rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party as a result of such failure.
9.3.2 In the case of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense and settlement thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to control such defense and any settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days following a Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, may employ its own counsel and control the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel employed by the Indemnified Party in each applicable jurisdiction, provided that in any such case the Indemnified Party shall diligently and in good faith contest such Third Party Claim. Whether the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party controls the defense of any Third Party Claim, the parties shall cooperate in the defense thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and provision to the counsel of the controlling party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a commercially reasonable, mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle, compromise or discharge a Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent if such settlement, compromise or discharge (i) constitutes a complete and unconditional discharge and release of the Indemnified Party, (ii) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by, or on behalf of, any such Indemnified Party and (iii) provides for no relief other than the payment of monetary damages and such monetary damages are paid by the Indemnifying Party (subject to, if Seller is the Indemnifying Party, the Deductible Amount, the Minimum Amount and the Maximum Amount, as provided above). No Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party desires to settle a Third Party Claim, it shall provide the Indemnifying Party with a written document signed by the Person making the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party setting forth the terms of the proposed settlement (the “Settlement Offer”). The Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such proposed settlement unless it agrees that it shall indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 9, subject to the Maximum Amount, the Minimum Amount and the Deductible Amount, provided that the amount of the final settlement or judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim that is in excess of the amount of the Settlement Offer shall not be subject to the Maximum Amount nor shall it be applied against the Maximum Amount.
9.3.3 If an Indemnified Party has a claim against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice (an “Indemnity Notice”) within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party has Knowledge of any claim that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification and shall include in such Indemnity Notice the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement upon which such claim is based, provided, however, that failure to timely give such Indemnity Notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have (i) been prejudiced as a result of such failure or (ii) forfeited rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party as a result of such failure. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within thirty (30) days, the Indemnified Party may commence an Action in connection therewith.
Conflicting Claims If conflicting claims or demands are made or asserted with respect to any interest of any Beneficiary in any Exchangeable Shares, including any disagreement between the heirs, representatives, successors or assigns succeeding to all or any part of the interest of any Beneficiary in any Exchangeable Shares, resulting in conflicting claims or demands being made in connection with such interest, then the Trustee shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to refuse to recognize or to comply with any such claims or demands. In so refusing, the Trustee may elect not to exercise any Voting Rights, Exchange Right or Automatic Exchange Rights subject to such conflicting claims or demands and, in so doing, the Trustee shall not be or become liable to any person on account of such election or its failure or refusal to comply with any such conflicting claims or demands. The Trustee shall be entitled to continue to refrain from acting and to refuse to act until:
(a) the rights of all adverse claimants with respect to the Voting Rights, Exchange Right or Automatic Exchange Rights subject to such conflicting claims or demands have been adjudicated by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and all rights of appeal have expired; or
(b) all differences with respect to the Voting Rights, Exchange Right or Automatic Exchange Rights subject to such conflicting claims or demands have been conclusively settled by a valid written agreement binding on all such adverse claimants, and the Trustee shall have been furnished with an executed copy of such agreement certified to be in full force and effect. If the Trustee elects to recognize any claim or comply with any demand made by any such adverse claimant, it may in its discretion require such claimant to furnish such surety bond or other security satisfactory to the Trustee as it shall deem appropriate to fully indemnify it as between all conflicting claims or demands.
