9.3 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Parent Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party for indemnification:
(a) An indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party prompt notice (“Indemnification Notice”) of any third-party Action with respect to which such indemnified party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 (a “Third-Party Claim”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the Loss or Losses that have been or may be suffered by the indemnified party. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such indemnified party under Section 9.1 or 9.2, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the indemnifying party to defend against such Third Party Claim or increases the amount of liability suffered as a result thereof.
- 19 -
(b) In the case of any Third-Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by any indemnified party, such indemnified party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the indemnifying party, to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims, unless the indemnifying party, within a reasonable time after the giving of Indemnification Notice by the indemnified party (in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter), shall (i) deliver a written confirmation to such indemnified party that the indemnification provisions of Section 9.1 or 9.2 are applicable to such Action and the indemnifying party will indemnify such indemnified party in respect of such Action pursuant to the terms of this Article IX and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall do so without asserting any challenge, defense, limitation on the indemnifying party’s liability for Losses, counterclaim or offset, (ii) notify such indemnified party in writing of the intention of the indemnifying party to assume the defense of any thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to conduct the defense of any such Third-Party Claims.
(c) If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claims pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or 9.2(b), then the indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the indemnified party shall have the right to be kept fully informed by the indemnifying party and their legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the indemnifying party so assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claims, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement of any thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the indemnified party shall be borne by such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to the applicable of any such Third-Party Claims (including any impleaded parties) include an indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party in the conduct of the defense of any of the applicable thereof, and in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne instead by the indemnifying party.
(d) If the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claims pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(b), the indemnified party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising out of or in connection such Third Party Claims, unless the indemnifying party withdraws from or fails to adequately defend, in the reasonable opinion of the indemnified party after consultation with litigation counsel of its choosing at its own expense, such Third Party Claims, or unless a judgment is entered against the indemnified party for a liability arising out of or in connection therewith. If the indemnifying party does not elect to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the indemnifying party fails to adequately defend, in the reasonable opinion of the indemnified party after consultation with litigation counsel of its choosing at its own expense, or withdraws from the defense thereof, the indemnified party shall have the right to undertake or continue, as the case may be, the defense or settlement thereof, at the indemnifying party’s expense. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the indemnified party (at the expense of the indemnifying party) shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third Party Claims (i) that seek a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the indemnified party, or (ii) to the extent any such Third Party Claims involve criminal allegations against the indemnified party or (y) the entire Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the indemnified party. In the event the indemnified party retains control of any Third Party Claims, the indemnified party agrees not to settle any thereof without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld.
- 20 -
(e) If the indemnified party undertakes the defense of any such Third-Party Claims pursuant to this Section 9.3 and proposes to settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party prompt written notice thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the indemnifying party’s expense.

WHEREAS, Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller desires to sell, and Purchaser desires to purchase, all of the Seller's rights, title, and interest in and to 2,000,000 of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) as further described herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

(b) Failure to Defend. If the Indemnitor shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 5 days after the Claim Notice of such Third- Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third- Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided, always, that in such event, the Indemnitor shall (i) promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim, or (ii) shall pay, in advance of any settlement or proceedings and in installments as reasonably agreed to by the parties, such sums and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim and any settlement thereof. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitor shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.
12.3 Non-Third-Party Claims. Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyer of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyer such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyer shall not excuse Buyer from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyer is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of all Indemnitors under this Article XII shall terminate on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, except with respect to (a) liability for any item as to which, prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, any Indemnitee shall have asserted a Claim in writing, which Claim shall identify its basis with reasonable specificity, in which case the liability for such Claim shall continue until it shall have been finally settled, decided or adjudicated, (b) liability of any party for Losses for which such party has an indemnification obligation, incurred as a result of such party's material breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by such party after the Closing, (c) liability of Buyer for Losses incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party due to material breaches of its representations and warranties in Article IV of this Agreement, and (d) liability of Buyer for Losses arising out of Third-Party Claims for which Buyer has an indemnification obligation, which liability shall survive until the statute of limitation applicable to any third party's right to assert a Third-Party Claim bars assertion of such claim.
