Any failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article IX unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The

Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such third-party action on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that:

(a) The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party action (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if (i) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by any the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such third-party action, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to have charge of such third-party action, (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a material conflict of interest that could violate applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel);

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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 of such third-party action; and

The parties hereto shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any third-party action pursuant to this Article IX and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.

such Indemnified Party claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4(a), the failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.

9.4 Limitations. The following provisions of this Section 9.4 shall limit the indemnification obligations hereunder:

(a) Limitation as to Time. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Indemnified Costs pursuant to this Article IX unless a written claim for indemnification in accordance with Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 is given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto on or before 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the second anniversary of the Closing Date.
