Conducting the Defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does deliver an Indemnifying Party Defense Notice and thereby elects to conduct the defense of the third party claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct such defense and, except as provided below, to settle the claim without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing; provided that in such cases the Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise and settle the third party claim only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; further provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, if (i) such judgment or settlement is not entirely indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII, (ii) such judgment or settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim, (iii) such judgment or settlement would result in the finding or admission of any violation of Law, or (iv) as a result of such consent or settlement, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or such judgment or settlement would interfere with or materially and adversely affect the business, operations or assets of the Indemnified Party.
Conducting the Defense. If an Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder against any Losses that may arise from a specific Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its choice, which shall report to the Indemnifying Party, as long as it notifies the Indemnified Party of such intention within 5 (five) Business Days of the receipt of the notice informing of the existence of the Third Party Claim. In such event, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for any and all costs incurred in connection with the defense, including attorneys’ fees, judicial costs and guaranties. The Indemnifying Party shall keep informed the Indemnified Party upon request of the status of the Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the judgment of the Indemnified Party, as long as the allegation of such conflict is reasonably justified, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required, at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with a Third Party Claim or contests its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for Losses arising from such Third Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party defends any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall also indemnify the Indemnified Party for the reasonable expenses of defending such Third Party Claim. The Parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation, or settlement of any such Third Party Claim; however, the Indemnifying Party, in view of its financial interests in the outcome of the Third Party Claim, may, at its discretion, exhaust all legal remedies and defense means.

  • Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims Promptly following the earlier of (a) receipt of notice of the commencement by a third party of any Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (b) receipt of information from a third party alleging the existence of a claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 6.07 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall, by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, (a) acknowledge, as between the parties hereto, liability for, and at its option elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense or (b) object to the claim of indemnification set forth in the notice delivered by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.07 setting forth the grounds therefor; provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not within the same thirty (30) day period give the Indemnified Party written notice acknowledging liability or objecting to such claim and setting forth the grounds therefor, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged, as between the parties hereto, its liability to the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. Any contest of a Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by attorneys of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense.
