Section 9.3 Third-Party Claims. If a claim by a third party is made
against an indemnified person hereunder, and if such indemnified person intends
to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article, such indemnified
person shall promptly notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claims
setting forth such claims in reasonable detail, provided that failure of such
indemnified person to give prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve
the indemnifying person of any of its obligations hereunder, except to the
extent that the indemnifying person is materially prejudiced by such failure.
The indemnifying person shall have twenty (20) days after receipt of such
notice to undertake, through counsel of its own choosing, subject to the
reasonable approval of such indemnified person, and at its own expense, the
settlement or defense thereof, and the indemnified person shall cooperate with
it in connection therewith; provided, however, that the indemnified person may
participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such
indemnified person, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be borne by such indemnified person. If the indemnifying person shall assume
the defense of a claim, it shall not settle such claim without the prior
written consent of the indemnified person, (i) unless such settlement includes
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant of a release of the
indemnified person from all liability with respect to such claim or (ii) if
such settlement involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition
of any material obligations on such indemnified person other than financial
obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder. If
the indemnifying person shall assume the defense of a claim, the fees of any
separate counsel retained by the indemnified person shall be borne by such
indemnified person unless there exists a conflict between them as to their
respective legal defenses (other than one that is of a monetary nature), in
which case the
11
Page 75 of 134

indemnified person shall be entitled to retain separate counsel, the reasonable
fees and expenses of which shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying person. If
the indemnifying person does not notify the indemnified person within thirty
(30) days after the receipt of the indemnified person's notice of a claim of
indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the
indemnified person shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the
claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to
this Agreement.
Section 9.4 Termination of Indemnification. The obligations to indemnify
and hold harmless a party hereto, (a) with respect to any breach of, or
inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall
terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates and (b)
with respect to any breach of covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement
shall not terminate; provided, however, that as to clause (a) above such
obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to
any item as to which the person to be indemnified shall have, before the
expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a
notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the
indemnifying party.
