(ii) In the event that any action, proceeding, complaint or litigation is commenced by a non-COMCOR affiliated third party involving a claim for which AGI may be liable pursuant to §10(q)(i) (an "Asserted Liability"), COMCOR shall promptly notify AGI in writing of such Asserted Liability (the "Claim Notice"); provided that no delay on the part of COMCOR in giving any such Claim Notice shall relieve AGI of any indemnification obligation under §10(q)(i) unless (and then solely to the extent that) AGI is materially prejudiced by such delay. AGI shall have thirty (30) days (or less if the nature of the Asserted Liability requires) from its receipt of the Claim Notice (the "Notice Period") to notify COMCOR whether or not AGI desires, at Age's sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choosing (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to COMCOR) to defend against such Asserted Liability. If AGI undertakes to defend against such Asserted Liability, (A) AGI shall use its reasonable best efforts to defend and protect the interests of COMCOR with respect to such Asserted Liability, (B) COMCOR, prior to or during the period in which AGI assumes the defense of such matter, may take such reasonable actions as COMCOR deems necessary to preserve any and all rights with respect to such matter (including, but not limited to, participating in the defense proceedings with counsel so chosen by COMCOR), provided, however such actions shall not be construed as a waiver of COMCOR's rights to defense and indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, (C) AGI shall not, without the prior written consent of COMCOR, consent to any settlement which (I)does not contain an unconditional release of COMCOR from the subject matter of the settlement, (II) imposes any liabilities or obligations on COMCOR, and (C) with respect to any non-monetary provision of such settlement, could impose conditions upon COMCOR which, in COMCOR's reasonable judgment could have a material adverse effect on the business operations, assets, properties or prospects of COMCOR and (B) in the event that AGI undertakes to defend against such Asserted Liability, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, AGI shall be deemed to have unconditionally accepted the obligation that AGI will indemnify COMCOR pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any event, COMCOR shall have the right to control, pay or settle any Asserted Liability which AGI shall have undertaken to defend so long as COMCOR shall also waive any right to indemnification therefor by AGI. If AGI undertakes to defend against such Asserted Liability, COMCOR shall cooperate to the extent reasonable with AGI and its counsel in the investigation, defense and settlement thereof at the expense of AGI. If COMCOR desires to participate in any such defense it shall pay its own counsel fees, subject to the reimbursement rights set forth in §10(q)(i). If AGI does not undertake to defend against such Asserted Liability within the Notice Period, then AGI shall have the right to participate in any such defense at the AGI's sole cost and expense, but, in such case, COMCOR shall control the

investigation and defense and may settle or take any other actions COMCOR deems reasonably advisable without in any way waiving or otherwise affecting COMCOR's rights to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. COMCOR and AGI agree to make available to each other, their counsel and other representatives, all information and documents available to them which relate to such claim or demand. COMCOR and AGI also agree to render to each other such assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such claim or demand.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
