Except with the consent of the Securityholder Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Securityholder Representative shall have objected within ten (10) Business Days after a written request for such consent by Parent), the amount paid or payable in the settlement or other resolution of any such Third-Party Claim shall not be determinative of the existence of or amount of Losses or whether an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 relating to such matter. In the event that the Securityholder Representative has consented to any third party required by such settlement unless or other resolution, then such settlement or other resolution shall be binding on the Securityholder Representative and the Indemnifying Parties, and neither the Securityholder Representative nor any Indemnifying Party shall have consented thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right any power or authority to elect to settle any Third Party Claim subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party fails to give such consent within 15 business days of being requested to do so, the Indemnified Party shall, at its expense, assume the defense of such Third Party Claim and regardless of the outcome of such matter, the Indemnifying Party's liability hereunder shall be limited object to the amount of any such proposed settlement. The foregoing provisions notwithstanding, in no event (a) may either Indemnifying Party adjust, compromise claim by or settle on behalf of any Third Party Claim unless such adjustment, compromise or settlement unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liability, (b) may against the Company Indemnity Escrow Fund or directly against the Indemnifying Party adjust, compromise Parties for indemnity with respect to such settlement or settle any Third Party Claim if such adjustment, compromise or settlement affects the absolute and sole right of Provant or the Surviving Corporation to own or use any of the Company's assets or (c) may the Company Indemnifying Party defend any Third Party Claim which, if adversely determined, would materially impair the financial condition, business or prospects of Provant or the Surviving Corporationother resolution.
