Procedures; Third
Party Claims, etc.
|
|
(a)
|
A
person entitled to make a claim of indemnification hereunder shall be
referred to as an “Indemnified Party.” A person obligated for
indemnification hereunder shall be referred to as an “Indemnifying
Party.” The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend any
claim, action, suit or proceeding made by any third party against an
Indemnified Party; provided, however, that
the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense
with counsel of its choice and at its own expense and, if (i) the
Indemnifying Party is also a party to such claim, action, suit or
proceeding and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint
representation would be inappropriate, (ii) the Indemnifying Party does
not provide a competent and vigorous defense, or (iii) the Indemnifying
Party agrees, then the Indemnified Party’s participation shall be at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall
provide such cooperation and access to its books, records and properties
as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to such
matter; and the parties shall cooperate with each other in order to ensure
the proper and adequate defense thereof. An Indemnified Party
shall not settle any claim subject to indemnification hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
|
|
(b)
|
With
regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable
hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party
upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the
Indemnified Party; (ii) the settlement of the claim; (iii) with respect to
indemnities for tax liabilities, upon the issuance of any final resolution
by a taxation authority; or (iv) with respect to claims before any
administrative or regulatory authority, when the Loss is finally
determined and not subject to further review or appeal; provided, however, that
the Indemnifying Party shall pay on the Indemnified Party’s demand any
cost or expense reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending
or otherwise dealing with such
claim.
|
11
|
(c)
|
To
seek indemnification hereunder, an Indemnified Party shall notify the
other party hereto of any claim for indemnification, specifying in
reasonable detail the nature of the Loss and the amount or an estimate of
the amount thereof. Neither the giving of such notice nor the
failure to give such notice shall constitute an election of remedies or
limit an Indemnified Party in any manner in the enforcement of any other
remedies that may be available to it, including the right to proceed
against an Indemnifying Party.
