(ii) The indemnifying party will have fifteen (15) days after its receipt of the claim notice to notify the indemnified party in writing whether the indemnifying party agrees that the claim is subject to Section 7.6(a)and, if so, whether the indemnifying party elects to undertake, conduct, and control, through counsel of its choosing (subject to the consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be withheld unreasonably), and at its sole risk and expense, the good-faith settlement or defense of the Third-Party Claim.

(iii) If, within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of the claim notice, the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party that it elects to undertake the good-faith settlement or defense of the Third-Party Claim, the indemnified party will reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection therewith including, without limitation, by making available to the indemnifying party all relevant information material to the defense of the Third-Party Claim. The indemnified party will be entitled to participate in the settlement or defense of the Third-Party Claim through counsel chosen by the indemnified party, at its expense. If the proposed settlement would impose an obligation or duty on the indemnified party, the indemnified party will have the right to approve the settlement, and, in that case the settlement may not be undertaken without such approval. As long as the indemnifying party is contesting the Third-Party Claim in good faith and with reasonable diligence, the indemnified party will not pay or settle the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party will have the right to pay or settle any Third-Party Claim at any time, provided that in such event it waives any right to indemnification therefor by the indemnifying party.

(iv) If the indemnifying party does not provide notice that it elects to undertake the good-faith settlement or defense of the Third-Party Claim, or if the indemnifying party fails to contest the Third-Party Claim or to undertake or approve settlement, in good faith and with reasonable diligence, the indemnified party will thereafter have the right to contest, settle, or compromise the Third-Party Claim at its exclusive discretion, at the risk and expense of the indemnifying party, and the indemnifying party will thereby waive any claim, defense, or argument that the indemnified party’s defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim is in any respect inadequate or unreasonable.

18 - ACQUISTION AGREEMENT

(v) A party’s failure to give timely notice will not constitute a defense (in part or in whole) to any claim for indemnification by such party, except if, and only to the extent that, such failure results in any material prejudice to the indemnifying party.

(b) Claims Other than Third-Party Claims.

(i) Each indemnified party will, with reasonable promptness, deliver to the indemnifying party written notice of all claims for indemnification under Section 7.6, other than Third-Party Claims, including, in reasonable detail, the basis for the claim, the nature of Damages, and a good-faith estimate of the amount of Damages.

(ii) The indemnifying party will have thirty (30) days after its receipt of the claim notice to notify the indemnified party in writing whether or not the indemnifying party accepts liability for all or any part of the Damages described in the claim notice. If the indemnifying party does not so notify the indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be deemed to accept liability for all the Damages described in the claim notice.
