Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determined in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an action may materially and adversely affect it or its affiliated other than as a result of monetary damages, such indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such action, but the indemnifying party shall not be bound by any determination of an action so defended or any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
