The respective obligations and liabilities of Buyer and CPR (the “Indemnifying Party”) to the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the CPR Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, as indemnified parties (the “Indemnified Party”) under Section 5.1 with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (“Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Within ten (10) calendar days (or such earlier time as might be required to avoid prejudicing the Indemnifying Party’s position) after receipt of notice of commencement of any action evidenced by service of process or other legal pleading, or with reasonable promptness after the assertion of any claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof together with a copy of such claim, process or other legal pleading, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing and at its own expense; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in the defense with counsel of its own choice and at its own expense (provided that the Indemnifying Party will bear the expense of counsel for the Indemnified Party if counsel for the Indemnified Party could have an inconsistent or conflicting interest from that of the Indemnifying Party or one or more legal defenses that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party).
(b) If the Indemnifying Party, by the fifteenth (15th) calendar day after receipt of notice of any such claim (or, if earlier, by the tenth (10th) calendar day preceding the day on which an answer or other pleading must be served in order to prevent judgment by default in favor of the person asserting such claim), does not elect to defend against such claim, the Indemnified Party, upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party, will have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of or for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claims at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.
8
(c) Anything in this Article V to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement involves only the payment of money and the claimant provides to the Indemnified Party a general release from all liability in respect of such claim. If the settlement of the claim involves more than the payment of money, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle the claim without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will each cooperate with all reasonable requests of the other for the purpose of defending against any claims.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party’s failure to give any notice under this Section 5.2 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article V, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.
5.3 Procedure for Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party has a claim against an Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnifying Party (the “Notice of Claim”), describing in detail the nature of the claim, the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement and the amount for which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnification Amount”), if known.
