INDEMNIFICATION
AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
7.1 Indemnification.
The
Parties hereto agree to indemnify and save harmless the other Parties hereto
and
including, where applicable, their respective affiliates, directors, officers,
employees and agents (each such party being an “Indemnified
Party”)
harmless from and against and agree to be liable for 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 the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
7.2 No
Indemnification.
This
indemnity will not apply in respect of an Indemnified Party in the event and
to
the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment shall
determine that the Indemnified Party was grossly negligent or guilty of willful
misconduct.
7.3 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.
7.4 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
consulting 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.
20
7.5 Settlement.
No
admission of liability and no settlement of any action shall be made without
the
consent of each of the Parties hereto and the consent of the Indemnified Party
affected, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
7.6 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.
|
7.7 Contribution.
If for
any reason other than the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified
Party
being the primary cause of the loss claim, damage, liability, cost or expense,
the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or
insufficient to hold them harmless, the relevant Party hereto shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any and
all such losses, claim, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by any Party
hereto on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other, but also the
relative fault of the Parties and other equitable considerations which may
be
relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relevant Party hereto shall in
any
event contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as
a
result of the loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense (other than a
loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expenses, the primary cause of which
is
the gross negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party), any excess of
such
amount over the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Party
hereunder.
