For purposes of this Section, “Indemnitee” shall refer to the Seller, the Company and the Company Indemnitees and “Indemnifying Party” shall refer to the Seller, Company and the Company Indemnifying Parties.
(A) Unless in the reasonable judgment of Indemnitee (i) there is a conflict between the positions of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee in conducting the defense of such Claim or (ii) legitimate business considerations would require the Indemnitee to defend or respond to such Claim in a manner different from that recommended by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, by giving notice thereof to the Indemnitee confirming the Indemnifying Party’s obligation under this Section 10 to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect of such Claim, be entitled to assume and control such defense with counsel chosen by it. The Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate therein after such assumption, but the costs of such participation (other than the costs of
providing witnesses or documents at the request of the Indemnifying Party or in response to legal process) following such assumption shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee. Upon assuming such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall have full right to enter into any compromise or settlement which is dispositive of the matter involved; provided that except for the settlement of a Claim that involves no obligation of the Indemnitee other than the payment of money for which indemnification is provided hereunder (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnitee the opportunity to discuss with it such payment, which opportunity shall not affect the right of the Indemnifying Party to effect such settlement in its discretion), the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, the Indemnifying Party may not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of a Claim which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect of such Claim.

The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Claim, but the cost of such participation shall be at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall not be required to defend any Claim under this Section 10 unless the Indemnifying Party confirms its obligation under this Section 10 to indemnify the Indemnitee in respect of such Claim by written notice to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitee is not required to defend any Claim under the immediately preceding sentence, it shall owe no duties to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claim, and may defend, fail to defend or settle such Claim without affecting its right to indemnity hereunder.
(C) The Indemnitee may compromise or settle any Claim against it at any time; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that if in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee it would be materially harmed or otherwise prejudiced by not entering into a proposed settlement or compromise and the Indemnifying Party withholds consent to such settlement or compromise, the Indemnitee may enter into such settlement or compromise and such settlement or compromise shall not be conclusive as to, or otherwise be used to establish, the existence or
amount of the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee or any third party. The Indemnitee may not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Claim which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnifying Party of a release from all liability in respect of such Claim.
(D) Both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with one another in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any Claim, including without limitation making available to the other all pertinent information and witnesses within its control at reasonable intervals during normal business hours.
