Indemnification by Licensee Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensor and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, successors and assigns, (collectively, the “Licensor Parties”) from and against any Action, and any and all direct losses suffered or incurred by Licensor in connection with any third party claims (a) arising out of or resulting from any breach by Licensee of any provision of this Agreement, (b) regarding the Content (other than Licensed Content) of the websites associated with Licensed Domain Names, or (c) regarding any Content that was subject to a request for removal by a Governmental Authority, even if Licensee removes such Content within the time period proscribed by the Governmental Authority, provided that, in all cases, Licensee shall not be liable for any direct losses suffered or incurred by Licensor as a result of Licensor’s failure to provide Licensee with a reasonable period of time to remove Content in cases where (i) the basis or nature of the offense has not previously been identified by any Governmental Authority as offensive or inappropriate and (ii) Licensee has not also received notice from the Governmental Authority.

Settlement of Third Party Claims Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Indemnification by Licensor Licensor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, successors and assigns, (collectively, the “Licensee Parties”) from and against any claim, suit, demand or action (“Action”), and any and all direct losses suffered or incurred by Licensee in connection with any third party claims (a) arising out of or resulting from any breach by Licensor of any provision of this Agreement or (b) that use of the Licensed Marks by Licensee in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement infringes or otherwise violates a third party’s Trademarks. Licensor’s obligation to indemnify Licensee shall be conditioned on (a) Licensee’s provision to Licensor of prompt notice of such an Action (except where any delay does not materially prejudice Licensor); (b) Licensee’s reasonable cooperation with Licensor in the defense and settlement of such an Action at Licensor’s cost; and (c) Licensor having exclusive control of the defense, settlement and/or compromise of such an Action (provided that Licensor may not settle any Action in a manner that adversely affects Licensee without Licensee’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
