liabilities, claims, suits, proceedings, demands, judgments, damages, expenses
and costs, including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements, expert
fees and costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, defense or settlement
of any claims covered by this indemnity which any such indemnified party may
suffer or incur by reason of the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of
the Suechtings to TNT-DE in Article 2 of this Agreement.
6.2 NOTICE AND RIGHT TO DEFEND THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.
(a) Upon receipt of written notice of any claim, demand or assessment
or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which
indemnity may be sought on account of the indemnity contained in Section 6.1,
the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee") shall promptly, but in no
event later than twenty (20) days prior to the date a response or answer thereto
is due (unless a response or answer is due within fewer than twenty (20) days
from the date of Indemnitee's receipt of notice thereof), inform the party
against whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnitor") in writing thereof.
The failure, refusal or neglect of such Indemnitee to notify the Indemnitor
within the time period specified above of any such claim or action shall relieve
such Indemnitor from any liability which it may have to such Indemnitee in
connection therewith, but only to the extent the effect of such failure, refusal
or neglect is to prejudice materially the rights of the Indemnitor in defending
against the claim or action.
(b) In case any claim, demand or assessment shall be asserted or
suit, action or proceeding commenced against an Indemnitee, and such Indemnitee
shall have timely and properly notified the Indemnitor of the commencement
thereof, the Indemnitor will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the
extent that it may wish, to assume the defense, conduct or settlement thereof,
with counsel selected by the Indemnitor. After notice from the Indemnitor to
the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense, conduct or settlement
thereof, the Indemnitor will not be liable to the Indemnitee for expenses
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense, conduct or settlement
thereof, except for such expenses as may be reasonably required to enable the
Indemnitor to take over such defense, conduct or settlement.
(c) The Indemnitee will cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection
with any such claim, make personnel, witnesses, books and records relevant to
the claim available
-7-
to the Indemnitor at no cost, and grant such authorizations or powers of
attorney to the agents, representatives and counsel of the Indemnitor as the
Indemnitor may reasonably request in connection with the defense or settlement
of any such claim.
(d) In the event that the Indemnitor does not wish to assume the
defense, conduct or settlement of any claim, demand or assessment, the
Indemnitee shall have the exclusive right to prosecute, defend, compromise,
settle or pay the claim in its sole discretion and pursue its rights under this
Agreement; provided that, before settling any claim hereunder, the Indemnitee
shall give five (5) business days' notice to the Indemnitor to allow the
Indemnitor to reject the settlement, in which case the Indemnitor shall defend
the claim.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.2, the Indemnitee
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, claim or
proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be its fees and expenses unless (i) the Indemnitor has
agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnitor has failed to assume
the defense of such action, claim or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to
any such action, claim or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee has been advised by
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor (in which
case, if the Indemnitee informs the Indemnitor in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such action, claim or proceeding on
behalf of the Indemnitee, it being understood, however, that the Indemnitor
shall not, in connection with any one such action, claim or proceeding or
separate but substantially similar or related actions, claims or proceedings in
the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Indemnitee, which firm shall be
designated in writing by the Indemnitee).

warranties made herein by the parties hereto and any indemnification obligations
