Indemnified
Party who has been selected to defend the Third Party Claim. The
Indemnifying
Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its
counsel to the

circumstances
relating to the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party shall
cause its counsel to be available to the Indemnifying Party or its
counsel to respond to any inquiries of the Indemnifying Party
concerning the progress of such defense. In the event that the

loss
suffered by the Indemnified Party in settling or defending such
Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing of
such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all costs related to
the
settlement or the defense within thirty (30) days after a demand
for the
