Promptly following receipt by an Indemnified Party of a copy of a complaint or of notice by a third party of any complaint or of the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment from the other Party for any Purchaser Loss, such Indemnified Party shall notify Global Energy (the "Indemnifying Party"), in writing (the "Indemnity Claim Notice") of such complaint or of notice of the commencement of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party results in the Indemnifying Party being deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage, if any, or the Indemnifying Party being deprived of, or being practically unable to assert, rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim, and provided further, it being agreed that Indemnity Claim Notices must be delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable Claims Period. The Indemnity Claim Notice shall set forth the identity of the third party claimant, a summary (to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party) of the allegations and nature of the complaint or such audit, investigation, action or proceeding and of the amount asserted in such complaint or of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding, and the provision or provisions under this Agreement which form the basis for the indemnity claim being made by the Indemnified Party.

In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of such complaint or the audit, investigation, action or proceeding on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such 20-day period, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Party as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single audit, investigation, action or proceeding. In any audit, investigation, action or proceeding for which indemnification is being sought hereunder the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party's own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

Such notice shall specify the basis for and, to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party, the amount of such claim. Notices for claims pursuant to this Article 8.3.3 must be delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable Claims Period. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article 8 or the amount thereof, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion of the claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion of such claim) becomes finally determined.
