any other party (or parties) (the "Indemnifying Party") is
obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Sections 9 or 9.1 hereof, the
Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice
thereof which notice shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the
amount of the Losses arising therefrom. Such notice shall be a condition
precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party for indemnification
hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a
third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnify Party (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) unless suit shall have been instituted against it and the
Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit after notification
thereof as provided in Section 9.4 hereof.
9.5 Defense by Indemnifying Party. In connection with any claim giving
rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal
proceeding by a person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying
Party at its sole cost and expense shall assume the defense of any such claim or
legal proceeding using counsel of its choice (subject to the approval of the
Indemnified Party, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any
such action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that if
the Indemnified Party, in its sole reasonable discretion, determines that there
exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party (or any constituent
party thereof) and the Indemnified Party or that the Indemnifying Party does not
have sufficient financial resources to fully defend the proceeding or to pay the
claim or judgment, the Indemnified Party (or any constituent party thereof)
shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable costs and
expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, but in no event shall
the Indemnifying Party be liable for the costs and expenses of more than one
such separate counsel. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of
any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may
defend against such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the
Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate,
and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control)
the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense.
