same has been finally adjudicated to constitute fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Grantee or a breach by Grantee
of the Prior Notes, the Note or this Agreement. Promptly after
receipt by Grantee of notice of the commencement or threatened
commencement against it of any third party Action, Grantee will
notify Grantor. Grantor will be entitled to assume the defense of
the Action unless Grantee shall have reasonably concluded that a
conflict may exist between Grantor and Grantee in conducting the
defense of the Action. If Grantor assumes the defense of any Action
in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it will not be
liable to Grantee for any legal or other expenses subsequently
separately incurred by Grantee in connection with the defense of
such Action. Grantor shall not be liable for any settlement of a
third-party Action effected without its written consent, which
consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
