Matters Involving Third Parties (a) If any third party shall notify any indemnified party with respect to any matter (a "Third Party Claim") which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, then the indemnified party shall promptly notify each indemnifying party thereof in writing. (b) Any indemnifying party will have the right to defend the indemnified party against the Third Party Claim so long as: (i) the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing within 20 days after the indemnified party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the indemnifying party will indemnify the indemnified party from and against the entirety of any Damages the indemnified party may suffer resulting from or caused by the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the indemnified party; and (iii) the indemnifying party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such claim, the indemnifying party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.5(b), the indemnifying party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim, without the prior consent of the indemnified party; provided, however, that: (i) the indemnifying party shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof; (ii) such settlement or judgment does not involve the encumbrance of any assets of the indemnified party or include any restriction that would apply to the indemnified party; and (iii) that a condition to any such settlement shall be a complete release of such indemnified party and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents with respect to such Third Party Claim. (c) So long as the indemnifying party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.5(b) above, (i) the indemnified party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in (but not control) the defense of the Third Party Claim and (ii) the indemnified party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each indemnified party shall, and shall cause each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents to, cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in the defense of such Third Party Claim being defended by the indemnifying party pursuant to Section 7.5(b), including providing full access to documents, properties, books and records reasonably requested by the indemnifying party and make available all officers, directors, employees and indemnified parties reasonably requested by the indemnifying party for investigations, depositions and trial. (d) In the event any of the conditions in Section 7.5(b) and 7.5(c) above are or become unsatisfied or the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in the first instance, (i) the indemnified party will have the right to defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate, subject to the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (ii) the indemnifying parties will reimburse the indemnified party for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses).
Certain Matters of Construction The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision. Any pronoun used shall be deemed to cover all genders. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, “from” means “from and including,” and “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding.” The terms “including” and “include” shall mean “including, without limitation” and, for purposes of each Loan Document, the parties agree that the rule of ejusdem generis shall not be applicable to limit any provision. Section titles appear as a matter of convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any Loan Document. All references to (a) laws or statutes include all related rules, regulations, interpretations, amendments and successor provisions; (b) any document, instrument or agreement include any amendments, waivers and other modifications, extensions or renewals (to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents); (c) any section mean, unless the context otherwise requires, a section of this Agreement; (d) any exhibits or schedules mean, unless the context otherwise requires, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference; (e) any Person include successors and assigns; (f) time of day mean time of day at Agent’s notice address under Section 14.3.1; or (g) discretion of Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender mean the sole and absolute discretion of such Person. All calculations of Value, fundings of Loans, issuances of Letters of Credit and payments of Obligations shall be in Dollars and, unless the context otherwise requires, all determinations (including calculations of Borrowing Base and financial covenants) made from time to time under the Loan Documents shall be made in light of the circumstances existing at such time. Borrowing Base calculations shall be consistent with historical methods of valuation and calculation, and otherwise satisfactory to Agent (and not necessarily calculated in accordance with GAAP). Borrowers shall have the burden of establishing any alleged negligence, misconduct or lack of good faith by Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Documents. No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed against any party by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. Whenever the phrase “to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge” or words of similar import are used in any Loan Documents, it means actual knowledge of a Senior Officer, or knowledge that a Senior Officer would have obtained if he or she had engaged in good faith and diligent performance of his or her duties, including reasonably specific inquiries of employees or agents and a good faith attempt to ascertain the matter to which such phrase relates.
