19
(a) In the event that any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party, said Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, specifying the nature of the specific basis for such claim or demand, and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand; any such notice, being the "Claim Notice"); provided, however, that any failure to give such Claim Notice will not be deemed a waiver of any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced or harmed. The Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) to represent the Indemnified Party, and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel with regard thereto, provided, further, that any Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to the date on which it receives written notice from the Indemnifying Party designating such counsel, to retain counsel, whose reasonable fees and expenses shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to file any motion, answer or other pleading and take such other action which it reasonably shall deem necessary to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party until the date on which the Indemnified Party receives such notice from the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party shall retain such counsel, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties of any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceedings or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one such firm for the Indemnified Party (except to the extent the Indemnified Party retained counsel to protect its (or the Indemnifying Party's) rights prior to the selection of counsel by the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any claim or demand which the Indemnifying Party defends. No claim or demand may be settled by an Indemnifying Party or, where permitted pursuant to this Agreement, by an Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party in the first case or the consent of the Indemnifying Party in the second case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement shall be accompanied by a complete release of the Indemnified Party in the first case or the Indemnifying Party in the second case.
(b) In the event any Indemnified Party shall have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a claim or demand being asserted against or sought to be collected from it by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall send a Claim Notice with respect to such claim to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not dispute such claim, the amount of such claim shall be paid to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claim Notice.
(c) So long as any right to indemnification exists pursuant to this Article XI, the affected parties each agree to retain all books, records, accounts, instruments and documents reasonably related to the Claim Notice. In each instance, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept informed by the Indemnifying Party and its legal counsel with respect to all significant matters relating to any legal proceedings. Any information or documents made available to any party hereunder, which information is designated as confidential by the party providing such information and which is not otherwise generally available to the public, or which information is not otherwise lawfully obtained from third parties or not already within the knowledge of the party to whom the information is provided (unless otherwise covered by the confidentiality provisions of any other agreement among the parties hereto, or any of them), and except as may be required by applicable law or requested by third party lenders to such party, shall not be disclosed to any third Person (except for the representatives of the party being provided with the information, in which event the party being provided with the information shall request its representatives not to disclose any such information which it otherwise required hereunder to be kept confidential).
