calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Defaulting Party shall
cure
such default, or commence proceedings to cure such default and prosecute
the
same to completion without undue delay.
6.10 Indemnification.
The
Parties hereto agree to indemnify and save harmless the other Party hereto,
including its respective affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents (each such party being an “Indemnified
Party”)
from
and against any and all losses, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, damages,
liabilities or expenses of whatever nature or kind, including any investigation
expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party, to which an Indemnified Party
may
become subject by reason of an act or inaction of the other Party.
6.11 Claim
of Indemnification.
The
Parties hereto agree to waive any right they might have of first requiring
the
Indemnified Party to proceed against or enforce any other right, power, remedy,
security or claim payment from any other person before claiming this
indemnity.
6.12 Notice
of Claim.
In case
any action is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity
may be sought against any of the Parties hereto, the Indemnified Party will
give
the relevant Party hereto prompt written notice of any such action of which
the
Indemnified Party has knowledge and such Party will undertake the investigation
and defense thereof on behalf of the Indemnified Party, including the prompt
retaining of counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party affected and the
payment of all expenses. Failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify shall
not
relieve any Party hereto of such Party’s obligation of indemnification hereunder
unless (and only to the extent that) such failure results in a forfeiture
by any
Party hereto of substantive rights or defenses.
6.13 Settlement.
No
admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without
the
consent of the Indemnified Party affected, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld.
11
6.14 Legal
Proceedings.
Notwithstanding that the relevant Party hereto will undertake the investigation
and defense of any action, an Indemnified Party will have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof,
but
the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnified
Party unless:
(a)
|
such
counsel has been authorized by the relevant Party
hereto;
|
(b)
|
the
relevant Party hereto has not assumed the defense of the action
within a
reasonable period of time after receiving notice of the
action;
|
(c)
|
the
named parties to any such action include that any Party hereto
and the
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there
may be a
conflict of interest between any Party hereto and the Indemnified
Party;
or
|
(d)
|
there
are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party
which
are different from or in addition to those available to any Party
hereto.
|
6.15 Notice.

this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by prepaid registered

notice, demand or other communication shall be the date of delivery thereof
if
