The failure to give such notice within a reasonable time shall not void Buyer’s right to indemnification from Seller unless the delay shall have materially prejudiced Seller's right to defend. Seller shall have the right, at its expense, to take over Buyer’s defense in such actions, suits, or proceedings through counsel selected by Seller, to compromise and/or settle the same (on a basis acceptable to Buyer) and to prosecute any available appeals or reviews of any adverse judgment or ruling that may be entered therein, and Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller in the defense and/or prosecution of claims regarding these matters.

matter, Buyer shall be entitled to defend, compromise and/or settle the same (in its sole discretion), and Seller shall be obligated to indemnify Buyer for all Losses incurred in connection therewith.

The failure to give such notice within a reasonable time shall not void Seller's right to indemnification from Buyer unless the delay shall have materially prejudiced Buyer’s right to defend. Buyer shall have the right, at its expense, to take over Seller's defense in such actions, suits, or proceedings through counsel selected by Buyer, to compromise and/or settle the same (on a basis reasonably acceptable to Seller) and to prosecute any available appeals or reviews of any adverse judgment or ruling that may be entered therein, and Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in the defense and/or prosecution of claims regarding these matters.

provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to Buyer’s obligations with respect to the Liabilities or to Seller’s obligations with respect to the Excluded Liabilities.
