(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnitors under this Agreement, deliver to each of the Indemnitors a written notice of the commencement thereof, and each Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof with its own counsel; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnitee to be paid by the Indemnitors, if the named parties to such proceeding include both the Indemnitors and the Indemnitee and, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitors would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitors in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnitors and shall furnish to the Indemnitors all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim. The Indemnitors shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No Indemnitors shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the Indemnitors shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnitors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitors within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnitors of any liability to the Indemnitee, except to the extent that the Indemnitors is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(c) The indemnification required by this Agreement shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the defense against any of the Indemnified Liabilities, reasonably promptly upon the receipt by such Indemnitee of written bills (with such appropriate supporting information as is reasonably requested by the Indemnitors that an Indemnified Liability has been incurred and the amount thereof (together with such appropriate supporting information as is reasonably requested by the Indemnitors); provided that the Indemnitee, as applicable, shall reimburse all such payments to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d) To the extent that the undertaking by the Indemnitor hereunder may be unenforceable for any reason, the Indemnitors shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
7.2. Further Action. The Parties agree that if at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party.

Accordingly, each of the Parties agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.
