(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 7.2 or 7.3 (any such indemnified party, a “Claimant”) of notice of the commencement by a third party of any Proceeding against it (a “Third Party Claim”), such Claimant will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, promptly give notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of such Proceeding (a “Third Party Claim Notice”).
16 |
(b) If any Third Party Claim is brought against a party and such party gives Third Party Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of the Proceeding forming the basis of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its own expense (if any only if, the Indemnifying Party shall have confirmed in writing that it is fully obligated to the extent provided in this Agreement to indemnify the Claimant with respect to such Third Party Claim, and the Third Party Claim does not arise in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation) to assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Claimant shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Claimant shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Claimant if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified parties a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified parties and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable. If the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim on the terms provided above within thirty (30) days or, upon petition by the Claimant, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim in good faith, then the Claimant may employ counsel (plus one local counsel in any jurisdiction in any single Third Party Claim if the Claimant determines in its reasonable discretion such local counsel is necessary) to represent or defend it in any such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus one local counsel in any jurisdiction in any single claim if the Claimant determines in its reasonable discretion such local counsel is necessary) for all Claimants in any jurisdiction in any single Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and diligently pursues its resolution, then (i) the Claimant shall not settle or compromise the Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have the power and authority to settle, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in respect of the Third Party Claim without the consent of the Claimant if the judgment or settlement results only in the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money damages (and the Indemnifying Party pays such amount in full, subject to limitations set forth in this Article VII) and includes an unconditional release of the Claimant from any and all Liability thereunder, and, in all other events, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Claimant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control or otherwise participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, then the Claimant may defend through counsel of its own choosing and in such manner as it reasonably deems appropriate, but the Claimant may only settle such Third Party Claim with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that the failure of the Claimant to obtain such consent shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. In any Third Party Claim with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder and in which the Claimant has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Claimant, as the case may be, shall at all times use its reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Claimant, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of any matter the defense of which they are maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter. The Claimant shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its Representatives all records and other materials in the Claimant’s possession or control reasonably required by them for their use in contesting or defending any Third Party Claim.
17 |
7.8 Procedure for Indemnification – Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
