Defense of Third Party Claims and Extension of Statute of Limitations Sample Clauses

The "Defense of Third Party Claims and Extension of Statute of Limitations" clause establishes the procedures and responsibilities when one party faces legal claims from an external third party related to the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines how the notified party must promptly inform the other party of such claims, and may specify which party is responsible for defending against the claim, including covering legal costs or controlling the defense. Additionally, it extends the time period (statute of limitations) during which a party can bring a claim under the contract, often to ensure that any third-party disputes are fully resolved before contractual rights expire. This clause is essential for allocating risk and ensuring that parties are protected and have sufficient time to address third-party legal actions arising from their contractual relationship.
Defense of Third Party Claims and Extension of Statute of Limitations. (i) With respect to the Excluded Matters and/or any Other R&W Insured Losses, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice (which such written notice shall state in reasonable detail the nature of any such claim for indemnification and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made) hereunder to the Indemnifying Party after obtaining notice of any claim as to which recovery may be sought against the Indemnifying Party because of the indemnity in this Article IX, and, if such indemnity obligation shall arise from the claim of a third party, shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim and any litigation resulting from such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of the defense of any claim (i) to the extent that the object of such claim for indemnification is to obtain an injunction, restraining order, declaratory relief or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party (ii) if the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties and the former shall have been advised in writing by counsel (with a copy to the Indemnifying Parties) that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to them that are different from or additional to those available to Indemnifying Parties (in which event each shall have the right to utilize counsel of their own choosing), or (iii) if such action or proceeding involves, or could reasonably be expected to involve liability that would constitute a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Parties. Failure by the Indemnifying Party to notify an Indemnified Party of its election to defend any such claim or action by a third party within thirty (30) days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such claim and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonably incurred out-of-pocket cost and expense of the Indemnified Party to defend such claim. The Indemnified Party shall (unless the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense thereof) keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably apprised of any significant developments relating to any such claim.

  • 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. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for; in all other events, the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any settlement or compromise without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification under Article VI, the Indemnified Party may require the Indemnifying Party to reimburse it on a current basis for its reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in defending against such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if any) within 15 days after the final resolution of such Third Party Claim (whether by the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise), or, in the case of any Third Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged liability, within 15 days after such Indemnifying Party’s objection has been resolved by settlement, compromise or the final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

  • Defense of Third Party Claims If an Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification under Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 is based on a claim brought by a Third Party (including without limitation a customer of the Indemnified Party with respect to a claim brought against such customer by a Third Party Rights Holder) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to defend such Third Party Claim in the name or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any such Third Party Claim (a “Claims Notice”) and reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party’s failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation which Licensor would otherwise have pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such failure to so notify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall have the right (following notice to the Indemnifying Party) to retain its own counsel (which counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) and control its defense of any such Third Party Claim, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to employ counsel to defend such proceeding or otherwise failed to prosecute such defense with reasonable diligence. The Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party will enter into a joint representation agreement with counsel reasonably acceptable to both parties, specifying that the Indemnifying Party shall at all times control the defense, unless the Indemnified Party agrees otherwise, in writing, that the Indemnifying Party shall have sole authority to settle or compromise the Third Party Claim, and the reasonable fees and expenses for such counsel to be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, in the event it is not legally possible for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party because of conflicts of interest (e.g., the conflict of interest is non-waivable), then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of both counsels to the extent such fees and expenses are directly related to defending the claims for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own cost and expense in the proceeding and, in such event, shall and shall have the right to, consult with the Indemnifying Party regarding the defense thereof; provided that, except US 1104947v.12 as otherwise provided herein, the Indemnifying Party shall at all times control such defense of such proceeding. The Indemnifying Party may not settle or compromise the claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless the settlement or compromise includes a full release of all of the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall pay to or for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties in cash the amount for which such Indemnified Parties are entitled to be indemnified within thirty (30) days after the settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim or the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim without its consent. Section 1.5 The following new Section 8.8 shall hereby be added to the Sublicense Agreement:

  • Indemnification of Third Party Claims The obligations and liabilities of any party to indemnify any other under this Article 6 with respect to Claims relating to third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

  • Assumption of Defense of a Third-Party Claim Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.3.1 in respect of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense, but shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense (subject to the Indemnifying Party agreeing in writing that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Article 8);provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) of any criminal or regulatory action or claim, any claim seeking material non-monetary remedies, or any claim where the indemnifiable amount, when taken together with all other outstanding claims for indemnification, would reasonably be expected to exceed twice the maximum amount for which the Indemnifying Party can be liable pursuant to this Article 8. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment (i) does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and (ii) contains, as a condition of any settlement, compromise, discharge, entry of judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all Liabilities in respect of such Third-Party Claim.

  • Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims (a) In the event that any party (the “Indemnified Person”) desires to make a claim against any other party (the “Indemnifying Person”) in connection with any Losses for which the Indemnified Person may seek indemnification hereunder in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifying Person in writing, of the Third-Party Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”) as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt, by such Indemnified Person of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, that failure to give a Third-Party Claim Notice on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Person’s election, to assume or participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the cost of Indemnifying Person. In any case in which the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall give the Indemnified Person ten (10) calendar days’ notice prior to executing any settlement agreement and the Indemnified Person shall have the right to approve or reject the settlement and related expenses; provided, however, that upon rejection of any settlement and related expenses, the Indemnified Person shall assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the liability of the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall be limited to the amount or the monetary equivalent of the rejected settlement and related expenses. (b) The Indemnified Person shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and to discuss matters with the Indemnifying Person related to the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 10.3(a) of this Agreement, but the Indemnified Person shall bear and shall be solely responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with such participation; provided, however, that, subject to Section 10.3(a) above, all decisions of the Indemnifying Person shall be final and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Person in all respects in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, including refraining from taking any position adverse to the Indemnifying Person. (c) If the Indemnifying Person fails to give notice of the assumption of the defense of any Third-Party Claim within a reasonable time period not to exceed forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall no longer be entitled to assume (but shall continue to be entitled to participate in) such defense. The Indemnified Person may, at its option, continue to defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Person shall indemnify the Indemnified Person for all reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith (provided it is a Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Person is otherwise obligated to provide indemnification hereunder). The Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in the defense of any Third-Party Claim the defense of which it does not assume. Prior to effectuating any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall furnish the Indemnifying Person with written notice of any proposed settlement in sufficient time to allow the Indemnifying Person to act thereon. Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice, the Indemnified Person shall be permitted to effect such settlement unless the Indemnifying Person (a) reimburses the Indemnified Person in accordance with the terms of this Article 10 for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such Claim; (b) assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim; and (c) takes such other actions as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request as assurance of the Indemnifying Person’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Article 10 in connection with such Third-Party Claim.
