IX.4 Defense by Indemnifying Party. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding (i) if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim (subject to any limitations on such liability contained in this Agreement) and (ii) if it provides assurances, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, that it will be financially able to satisfy such claims in full if the same are decided adversely. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, it may use counsel of its choice to prosecute such defense, subject to the approval of such counsel by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In this regard, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Esq. is hereby approved by 8687544 as counsel to INOL (in its capacity as the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party, in its sole discretion, determines that there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party (or any constituent party thereof) and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party (or any constituent party thereof) shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary to pursue the resolution thereof in a prompt and diligent manner. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to consent to a settlement of, or the stipulation of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required from the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all Losses arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof (as well as all other Losses theretofore incurred by the Indemnified Party which then remain unpaid or unreimbursed), (ii) in the case of a settlement, the settlement is conditioned upon a complete release by the claimant of the Indemnified Party and (iii) such settlement or judgment does not require the encumbrance of any asset of the Indemnified Party or impose any restriction upon its conduct of business.
