|
|
(3) | The Parties agree that the statutory limitations period shall commence on the filing of the written notice of claim by the Indemnified Person and any applicable limitations period is extended or varied to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law to give effect to this Section 8.5(3). |

|
|
(2) | The omission to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person, unless the notification occurs after the expiration of the specified period set out in Section 8.5 or (and only to that extent that) the omission to notify materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to exercise its right to defend provided in this Section 8.7. |
|
|
(3) | Subject to the terms of this Section 8.7 upon receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may participate in the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim and may also elect to assume the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim. |

(5) | In order to assume the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must give the Indemnified Person written notice of its election within fifteen (15) days of Indemnifying Party's receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim and shall comply with the procedures set out in Appendix B. |

Third Party Claim Procedure
| (2) | If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim: |
| (1) | the Indemnifying Party shall pay for all reasonable costs and expenses of the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim except that the Indemnifying Party shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defence, be liable to the Indemnified Person for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defence of the Third Party Claim, incurred by the Indemnified Person after the date the Indemnifying Party validly exercised its right to assume the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim; |
|
|
|
| (2) | the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Person for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim prior to the date the Indemnifying Party validly exercised its right to assume the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim; |
|
|
|
| (3) | the Indemnified Person shall not, other than with respect to Third Party Claims in respect of taxes, contact or communicate with the Person making the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless required by applicable Law; |

| (4) | legal counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to defend the Third Party Claim must be satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, acting reasonably; and |
|
|
|
| (5) | the Indemnifying Party may not compromise and settle or remedy, or cause a compromise and settlement or remedy, of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |
If the Indemnifying Party (i) is not entitled to assume the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim under Section 8.7(4) of the Agreement, (ii) does not elect to assume the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim, or (iii) assumes the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim but fails to diligently pursue such defence, or the Indemnified Person concludes that the Third Party Claim is not being defended to its satisfaction, acting reasonably, the Indemnified Person has the right (but not the obligation) to undertake the defence of the Third Party Claim. In the case where the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently pursue the defence of the Third Party Claim or the Indemnified Person concludes that the Third Party Claim is not being defended to its satisfaction, acting reasonably, the Indemnified Person may not assume the defence of the Third Party Claim unless the Indemnified Person gives the Indemnifying Party written demand to diligently pursue the defence and the Indemnifying Party fails to do so within 14 days after receipt of the demand, or such shorter period as may be required to respond to any deadline imposed by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal.
| (3) | If the Indemnified Person undertakes the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may compromise and settle the Third Party claim but the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim effected without its consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). |
