Section 9.04.Β Indemnification
Procedures.
Β
(a)Β In order for any Acquiror
Company Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified PartyΒ (collectively, an βIndemnified Partyβ) to be entitled to any indemnification
provided for under this Article X of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of its
claim for indemnification to the party from whom indemnity pursuant to this
Agreement is claimed (an βIndemnifying Partyβ) with reasonable promptness after
determining to make such claim.Β Β The failure by any
Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party
shall not relieve any relevant Indemnifying Party from any liability which it
may have to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement, except to the extent
that such claim for indemnification involves the claim of aΒ third party against the Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such
failure.Β Β If an indemnifying party does not notify the Indemnified
Party within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by it of such
notice that such Indemnifying Party disputes
its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, such claim
specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a
liability of such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement and such Indemnifying Party shall pay the
amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of
any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is
estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally
determined.Β Β If an Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its
liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, such Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a
resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved
through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation or such other
means as determined by the parties.
Β
23
Β
Β
(b)Β If the claim for indemnification
involves a third party claim (a βThird Party Claimβ), then the Indemnifying Party shall have the
right, at its sole cost, expense and ultimate liability regardless of the
outcome, and through counsel of its choice (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), to litigate, defend, settleΒ or otherwise attempt to resolve such
Third Party Claim;Β Β provided, however, that if in the Indemnified
Partyβs reasonable judgment a conflict of
interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with
respect to such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to select counsel of its own choosing, reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to
pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.
Β
(c)Β Notwithstanding the provision
of Section 9.04(b), if in the Indemnified Partyβs reasonable judgment no such conflict
exists, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, participate at
its own expense in a defense of such Third Party ClaimΒ by counsel of its own choosing, but the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense unless (i)Β in
the case where only money damages are sought, the Indemnified Party has relieved
the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or (ii)Β in the case
where equitable relief is sought, the Indemnified Party elects to participate in
and jointly control the defense thereof.
Β
(d)Β Whenever the Indemnifying Party
controls the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may only settle or compromise the
matter subject to indemnification without the consent of the Indemnified Party
only if such settlement includes a complete release of all Indemnified Parties
as to the matters in dispute and relates solely to moneyΒ damages. The Indemnified Party will not
unreasonably withhold or delay consent to any settlement or compromise that
requires its consent.
Β
(e) In the event the Indemnifying Party
fails to timely defend, contest, or otherwise protect the Indemnified Party
against any such claim or
suit, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated to, defend, contest,
or otherwise protect against the same, and make any compromise or settlement
thereof, and in such event, or in the case where the Indemnified Party
jointly controls such claim or suit, the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover its costs thereof from the
Indemnifying Party, including reasonable attorneysβ fees, disbursements and all amounts
paid as a result of such claim or suit or the compromise or settlement
thereof.
Β
(f) The Indemnified Party shall
cooperate and provide such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably
request in connection with the defense of the matter subject to indemnification
and in connection with recovering from any third parties amounts that the
Indemnifying Party may pay or be required to pay by way of indemnification
hereunder.
Β
(g) The amount of Losses for which
indemnification is provided hereunder shall be computed without regard to any
insurance recovery related
to such Losses.
Β
(h) With respect to any Loss for which
an Indemnified Party has made a claim for indemnification against an
Indemnifying Party prior to the termination of the Survival Period in accordance
with this Agreement, the Survival Period shall be deemed continued until final
resolution of such claim for indemnification.
