Indemnification Proceedings Any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement will (i) give prompt (but in no event more than thirty (30) days') notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that failure to so promptly notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from liability except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby) and (ii) unless in the indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between the indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to the claim, permit the indemnifying party, at its expense, to assume the defense of the claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any compromise or settlement made without its consent or judgment consented to without its consent, but any such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to or elects not to assume the defense of a claim will not be under an obligation to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by the indemnifying party with respect to the claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between the indemnified party and any other indemnified party with respect to the claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one additional counsel for the indemnified parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be contained in this Section 7.3, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified party, a release from all liability in respect of such claim.
Indemnification Process 20.2.1 As used in this Section 20, “Indemnified Person” means a person whom an Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify, defend and/or hold harmless under Section 20.1. 20.2.2 An Indemnifying Party’s obligations under Section 20.1 shall be conditioned upon the following:
Indemnification Procedure Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement if the indemnifying party is advised of the settlement but fails to respond to the settlement within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notification. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the Indemnified Party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
Expenses Indemnification Procedure (a) Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding referenced in Section 1(a) or (b) hereof (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding). Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company.
Indemnification Claims (a) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 7.1 or 7.2 in respect of, arising out of or involving, a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claims, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by the Indemnified Party) within 20 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim (a "Claim Notice"); provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 7.1 or 7.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within 10 Business Days after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim. (b) The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof (at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party notice of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 15 days of receipt of the applicable Claim Notice, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay damages that could reasonably be expected to arise from such Third Party Claim, and (iii) such counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 7.3 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or of assistance as contemplated by this Section 7.3; provided that (1) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, that it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel due to actual or potential conflicts of interest, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel (limited to one law firm) to represent it and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, and (2) the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give the Claim Notice as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense (except as otherwise provided herein), separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement that the claims made in that Third Party Claim are within the scope and subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. The indemnification required by Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be, shall be made by prompt payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or the indemnifiable Loss is incurred. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the parties hereto reasonably necessary for such defense or prosecution shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof, which cooperation shall include (upon the Indemnifying Party's reasonable request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided that, without the Indemnified Party's consent, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (x) that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or (y) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). (c) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement other than in respect of, arising out of or involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claims, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by the Indemnified Party); provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 7.1 or 7.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
