16.2. | Product Liability. Except as otherwise provided herein, Buyer (as the Indemnifying Party) will defend, at its own expense, indemnify and hold harmless Supplier and its Affiliates (as the Indemnified Parties) from and against all Liabilities arising out of any Claim to the extent such Claim is based upon a claim arising out of or relating to any personal injury or death of any Person as a result of the use of any Product sold by Buyer, its Affiliates or Sub-licensees, except to the extent such Claim is due to the manufacture of Product supplied by Supplier other than in accordance with Specifications as provided in this Agreement or the negligent, grossly negligent, or intentional act or omission of Supplier and its Affiliates. Similarly, Supplier (as the Indemnifying Party) will defend, at its own expense, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (as Indemnified Parties) from and against any and all Liabilities arising out of any Claim brought against Buyer or any such Affiliate to the extent such Claim is based upon a claim arises out of a Third Party claim or suit or demand based on bodily injury or property damage resulting from the manufacture of Product supplied by Supplier other than in accordance with Specifications as provided in this Agreement, unless such claim is due to the negligent, grossly negligent or intentional act or omission of Buyer. | ||
16.3. | Claims. If any claim is made by a Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) against a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) that, if sustained, would give rise to a Liability to a party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause notice of the claim to be delivered to the Indemnifying Party along with all of the facts, |

EXECUTION COPY
information or materials relating to such claim of which the Indemnified Party is aware; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided for hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within five (5) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, unless the Third Party Claim involves potential conflicts of interest or substantially different defenses for the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence), separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying |

Party has not assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim that, if sustained, would give rise to a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. The parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and reasonable efforts to make employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any Liability with respect to, or settle or compromise a Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party may pay, settle or compromise a Third Party Claim (i) with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (ii) without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, so long as such settlement includes (A) an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all Liability in respect of such Third Party Claim and (B) does not subject the Indemnified Party to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy. In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim against an Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause notice of such claim to be delivered to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for a |
