Glu may exercise the Attorney-In-Fact for purposes of this Section 6.3.
6.4. In addition to its obligations under Section 2.5 of this Agreement, Atari further covenants and agrees that, with respect to any other liens or other encumbrances on the DEER HUNTER Brand Assets (or any portion thereof) that exist as of the Effective Date or come into existence thereafter related to a prior security interest granted by Atari or any of its Affiliates (or any of their respective successors or predecessors) thereon, Atari shall no later than the earlier of (a) Atari or any of its Affiliates becoming aware thereof and (b) five (5) business days following written notification thereof by Glu to Atari commence using its best efforts to cause such liens or encumbrances to be released (and cause such releases recorded in all necessary jurisdictions with all necessary agencies).

fees and court costs) arising out of or resulting from any third party claim or action brought against Glu or any of its Affiliates (an “Atari Indemnified Claim”): (a) based on any misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Atari under this Agreement; or (b) asserting that the DEER HUNTER Brand Assets infringe, misappropriate or violate any right of any third party (including without limitation any intellectual property right). The foregoing indemnity shall not be construed to cover any claim or action with respect to which Glu has committed to indemnify Atari under Paragraph 7.2 below.
7.2. Glu shall indemnify and hold harmless, Atari and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors and employees (the “Atari Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, costs, settlements and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or resulting from any third party claim brought against any of the Atari Indemnified Parties based on misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Glu hereunder (a “Glu Indemnified Claim”). The foregoing indemnity shall not be construed to cover any claim with respect to which Atari has committed to indemnify Glu under Paragraph 7.1 above.
7.3. As to an Atari Indemnified Claim, Glu will be “Indemnitee” and Atari will be “Indemnitor”, and as to a Glu Indemnified Claim, Glu will be “Indemnitor” and Atari will be “Indemnitee.” (In either event, an Atari Indemnified Claim or Glu Indemnified Claim is referred to herein as an “Indemnified Claim”.) In the event of an Atari Indemnified Claim or a Glu Indemnified Claim, Indemnitee will: (i) promptly notify Indemnitor of the Indemnified Claim in writing; (ii) grant Indemnitor sole control of the defense and settlement of the Indemnified Claim; and (iii) provide Indemnitor with all cooperation, assistance and information reasonably required for the defense and settlement of the Indemnified Claim; provided that Indemnitor will reimburse Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with providing such cooperation, assistance and information.

Indemnitor shall not settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, if the terms of the settlement would limit Indemnitee’s exercise of any rights licensed or granted to Indemnitee under this Agreement or would constitute an admission of liability by Indemnitee or would impose any obligations on Indemnitee. If Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of an Indemnified Claim or fails to diligently defend such Indemnified Claim, Indemnitee may assume the defense and settlement of such Indemnified Claim and Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees which may include, without limitation, an allocation for in-house counsel) as such expenses are incurred, relating to the defense or settlement of such Indemnified Claim.
