(a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under this Article 10 (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall promptly give written notice to the Person obligated to indemnify against such Third Party Claim (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third Party Claim; provided, that the failure to timely notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent of actual prejudice arising from such failure.

(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 10.4(a) of the assertion of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person (it being agreed that the Indemnifying Person’s counsel as of the date hereof shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person); provided, however, that (a) the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to assume defense of a Third Party Claim if the Indemnified Person has one (1) or more defenses that cannot be asserted by the Indemnifying Person and such inability would actually prejudice the Indemnified Person, (b) the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to assume defense of a Third Party Claim if such claim is being brought by a Governmental Body or seeks an injunction or provisional relief and (c) as a condition to assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person must acknowledge and agree in writing that each Indemnified Person will be indemnified and held harmless hereunder with respect to the full amount of any and all Damages the Indemnified Person may suffer or incur arising out of or relating to the Third Party Claim (regardless of any limitations set forth herein). After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 10 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, then no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s express written consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Person, (B) the sole relief provided is monetary Damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person, and (C) the claim does not relate to Taxes. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of the Indemnifying Person’s election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Person shall be bound by any determination made in such Third Party Claim or any compromise or settlement reasonably effected by the Indemnified Person.

(c) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 10: (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other fully informed of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related legal actions at all stages thereof where such other person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) each Party agrees (at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as a Party may reasonably require of another and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third Party Claim.

(d) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article 10, the Parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges of the other Party. In connection therewith, each Party agrees that: (i) it will use its reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure); and (ii) all communications between any Party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(e) With respect to a claim between the Parties, if any Indemnified Person believes that such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10 other than in connection with a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Person shall give the appropriate Indemnifying Person notice of such claim stating the amount of Losses, if known, and the method of computation thereof, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement under which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises (each, a “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Person shall have fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such notice to deliver a written response noting that it disagrees with the amount or the method of determination to the indemnification obligation in the Claim Notice, and specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement (each, a “Reply Certificate”). If a Reply Certificate is timely delivered pursuant to this Section 10.4(e) but only disputes a portion of the claims set forth in the Claim Notice, any claim that is not disputed in the Reply Certificate shall be deemed to have acknowledged and authorized such Indemnified Person’s right to receive the amount specified in the applicable Claim Notice. If a Reply Certificate is not timely delivered with respect to any Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Person shall be deemed to have acknowledged and authorized such Indemnified Person’s right to receive the amount specified in the applicable Claim Notice. If a Reply Certificate pursuant is timely delivered in response to any Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter for a period of thirty (30) days prior to the initiation of any litigation in respect thereof.

Section 10.5 Limitation on Xxxxxxx.Xx no event shall any Indemnified Person be entitled to duplicate compensation with respect to the same Damage, Liability, loss, cost, expense, claim, award or judgment under more than one provision of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.
