Contest and Defend Sample Clauses

Contest and Defend. The Indemnified Person shall permit the indemnitor to contest and defend against such Claim, at the indemnitor’s expense, if the indemnitor has confirmed to the Indemnified Person in writing that it agrees that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of such Claim, unless the conduct of its defense by the indemnitor could be reasonably likely to prejudice such Indemnified Person due to the nature of the Claims presented or by virtue of a conflict between the interests of such Indemnified Person and such indemnitor and another Indemnified Person whose defense has been assumed by the indemnitor. Notwithstanding a determination by the indemnitor to contest such Claim, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel and accountants at its own expense except as set forth above. In any case, the Indemnified Person shall make available to the indemnitor and its attorneys and accountants, at all reasonable times during normal business hours, all books, records, and other documents in its possession relating to such Claim. The party contesting any such Claim shall be furnished all reasonable assistance in connection therewith by the other party (with reimbursement of reasonable expenses by the indemnitor). If the indemnitor fails to undertake the defense of or to settle or pay any such third-party Claim within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Person has given written notice to the indemnitor advising the indemnitor of such Claim, or if the indemnitor, after having given notice to the Indemnified Person that it intends to undertake the defense, fails forthwith to defend, settle or pay such Claim, then the Indemnified Person may take any and all necessary action to dispose of such Claim including, without limitation, the settlement or full payment thereof upon such terms as it shall deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, subject to the following with respect to any proposed settlement thereof.

Related to Contest and Defend

  • Right to Contest and Defend The indemnifying party shall be entitled at its cost and expense to contest and defend by all appropriate legal proceedings any Indemnity Claim with respect to which it is called upon to indemnify the indemnified party under the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that notice of the intention to so contest shall be delivered by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party within 20 days from the date of receipt by the indemnifying party of notice by the indemnified party of the assertion of the Indemnity Claim. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the indemnifying party or the indemnified party as may be appropriate. Such contest shall be conducted and prosecuted diligently to a final conclusion or settled in accordance with this Section 7.4 by reputable counsel employed by the indemnifying party and not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party, but the indemnified party shall have the right but not the obligation to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect thereto; provided, however, that the indemnifying party will not have the authority to subject the indemnified party to any obligation whatsoever, other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks or obligations not involving material expense. If the indemnifying party does not elect to contest any such Indemnity Claim or elects to contest such Indemnity Claim but fails diligently and promptly to prosecute or settle such claim, the indemnifying party shall be bound by the result obtained with respect thereto by the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of an Indemnity Claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of an Indemnity Claim that the indemnifying party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Indemnity Claim, which releases the indemnified party completely in connection with such Indemnity Claim and which would not otherwise adversely affect the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Indemnity Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnified party in defending such Indemnity Claim) if the Indemnity Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the indemnified party which the indemnified party reasonably determines, after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Indemnity Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages.

The assumption of defense shall constitute an admission by the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation hereunder with respect to such Claim, and its undertaking to pay directly all costs, expenses, damages, judgments, awards, penalties and assessments incurred in connection therewith. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s duty or obligations under this Article 12, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.

No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The reimbursement required by this Section 13 shall be made by periodic payments during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred.

However, Developer’s indemnification and hold harmless obligation shall be reduced by the proportion of the Indemnitees’ and/or Architect’s liability to the extent the Claim(s) is/are caused wholly by the active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees, and/or defects in design furnished by the Architect, as found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction.

Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to such Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount of Losses arising therefrom.

The Indemnified Party shall permit Contributor, at Contributor’s option and expense, to assume the defense of any such claim by counsel selected by Contributor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may at all times participate in such defense at its sole expense; and provided further, however, that Contributor shall not, in defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question to all Indemnified Parties a full and complete release of all liabilities in respect of such claims, or that does not result only in the payment of money damages which are paid (or deemed paid) in full by Contributor. If Contributor shall not have undertaken such defense within 20 days after such notice, or within such shorter time as may be reasonable under the circumstances to the extent required by applicable law, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such liability or claim on behalf of and for the account of Contributor and at Contributor’s sole cost and expense (subject to the limitations in Section 3.4 hereof).
