-----
Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional

terms and conditions: if an indemnified party shall have received notice of any
Third
10
Party Claim, the indemnified party shall promptly (and, in any event, within

the indemnified party within five days of the receipt of such notice from the
indemnified party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably
-------- -------
likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the
reasonable judgment of the indemnified party for the same counsel to represent
both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, then the indemnified
party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for
which the indemnified party reasonably determines counsel is required, at the
expense of the indemnifying party. In the event the indemnifying party
exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party

and information in the indemnified party's possession or under the indemnified
party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the indemnifying
party. Similarly, in the event the indemnified party is, directly or
indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the
indemnifying party shall cooperate with the indemnified party in such defense
and make available to the indemnified party, at the indemnifying party's
expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the
indemnifying party's possession or under the indemnifying party's control
relating thereto as is reasonably required by the indemnified party. Such Third
Party Claim may be settled by the indemnifying party if it contains a full
release of the indemnified party and such Third Party Claim may be settled by
the indemnified party if it contains a full release of the indemnifying party.
