Related to Procedures for Resolution of Claims for Indemnification

• Procedures for Indemnification Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.3, promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification under Sections 14.1 or 14.2 or any other provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to any matter referred to in Sections 14.1 or 14.2 or in any other applicable provision of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give written notice describing such claim or Proceeding in reasonable detail in light of the circumstances then known to the Indemnitee to the party obligated to indemnify Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”), and thereafter shall keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed with respect thereto; provided, however, that failure of the Indemnitee to keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby. If any Proceeding is commenced against any Indemnitee by a Third Party, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and assume the defense thereof at the Indemnitor’s sole expense; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Proceeding if (a) the Indemnitee shall have one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnitor, and, in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnitee, counsel for the Indemnitor could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnitee because such interests would be in conflict with those of the Indemnitor; (b) such Proceeding is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any other matter beyond the scope or limits of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnitor; or (c) the Indemnitor shall not have assumed the defense of the Proceeding in a timely fashion (but in any event within thirty (30) days of notice of such Proceeding). If the Indemnitor, shall assume the defense of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in any Proceeding at its expense, and the Indemnitor shall not settle such Proceeding unless the settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a full and unconditional release of the Indemnitee, from all Liability with respect to the matters that are subject to such Proceeding, or otherwise shall have been approved by the Indemnitee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

• Claims for Indemnification In the event of the occurrence of any event which any Party asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to this Article 8, the Party claiming indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall provide prompt notice to the Party required to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party"), specifying in detail the facts and circumstances with respect to such claim and the basis for which indemnification is available hereunder. If such event involves the claim of any third party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control the defense of settlement of such claim; provided, however, that (a) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim at its own expense, (b) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, injunctive or other non-monetary relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, (c) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, and shall assume all expense with respect to the defense or settlement of any claim to the extent such claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, could materially interfere with the business, operations, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnifying Party of its election to assume control over the defense of such claim pursuant to this Section 8.4 if the Indemnifying Party is entitled but fails to assume control over the defense of a claim as provided in this Section 8.4. If the Indemnified Party assumes control of the defense of a claim as permitted hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnifying Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, injunctive or other non-monetary relief would be imposed against the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 8, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon payment of such indemnity in full, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim to which such indemnification relates.

• Claims for Indemnity Whenever a claim shall arise for which any party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing within sixty (60) days of the indemnified party's first receipt of notice of, or the indemnified party's obtaining actual knowledge of, such claim, and in any event within such shorter period as may be necessary for the indemnifying party or parties to take appropriate action to resist such claim. Such notice shall specify all facts known to the indemnified party giving rise to such indemnity rights and shall estimate (to the extent reasonably possible) the amount of potential liability arising therefrom. If the indemnifying party shall be duly notified of such dispute, the parties shall attempt to settle and compromise the same or may agree to submit the same to arbitration or, if unable or unwilling to do any of the foregoing, such dispute shall be settled by appropriate litigation, and any rights of indemnification established by reason of such settlement, compromise, arbitration or litigation shall promptly thereafter be paid and satisfied by those indemnifying parties obligated to make indemnification hereunder.

• Procedures for Indemnification and Expense Advances (a) NOTICE/COOPERATION BY INDEMNITEE. Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable of any claim or action made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement; provided that failure to so notify shall not affect Company's obligations hereunder unless the failure to so notify materially prejudices the Company's rights or defenses in connection with the underlying claim or action. In addition, Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Company and provide it with the information it reasonably requires to assert its rights or defenses to the underlying claim or action.

• Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims (a) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Vishay Group or the VPG Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.2 or Section 5.3 or any other section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. If any Person shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion of a Third Party Claim which may reasonably be determined to be a Shared Contingent Liability, such Person shall give the other party to this Agreement written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnified Party or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 5.6(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

• Procedure for Indemnification Claims (a) Whenever any parties become aware that a claim (an “Underlying Claim”) has arisen entitling them to seek indemnification under Section 9 of this Agreement, such parties (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall promptly send a notice (“Notice”) to the parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Parties”) of the right to indemnification (the “Indemnity Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties will relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability under this Agreement with respect to such Indemnity Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Parties results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Parties of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Parties with respect to the Underlying Claim. Any Notice pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) shall set forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the basis for such Indemnity Claim and an estimate of the amount of damages arising therefore.

• Procedures upon Application for Indemnification (a) To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and as is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of the Proceeding. Any delay in providing the request will not relieve the Company from its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such failure is prejudicial.

• Procedure for Indemnification After receipt by an indemnified party under Section 11.1, Section 11.2, Section 11.3 or Section 11.4 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party with respect to such action; provided that, to the extent that any such failure to provide prompt notice is responsible for an increase in the indemnity obligations of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any such increase. In case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of such action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense thereof. If the indemnifying party elects not to assume (or fails to assume) the defense of such action, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such action with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of the indemnifying party. If the action is asserted against both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and (i) there is a conflict of interests which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or (ii) such action could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of criminal liability, the indemnifying party shall be responsible for paying for separate counsel for the indemnified party; provided, however, that if there is more than one indemnified party and it is practical for all such parties to be represented by common counsel, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for paying for more than one separate firm of attorneys to represent the indemnified parties, regardless of the number of indemnified parties. If the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of such action, (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party and (b) the indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the indemnifying party has failed to defend such indemnified party against such action. If this Section 11.5 conflicts with the contest provisions in Section 8.7 with respect to any contest or claim relating to taxes, Section 8.7 shall govern.

• Procedure for Notification of Claim for Indemnification or Advancement (a) Indemnitee will notify the Company in writing of any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof. Indemnitee will include in the written notification to the Company a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding and provide such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of such Proceeding. Indemnitee’s failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any obligation it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company will not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company will, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification or advancement, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification or advancement.

• Procedure for Indemnification; Notification and Defense of Claim (a) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company hereunder, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the Company of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding, or of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, will not relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent the Company is actually and materially prejudiced in its defense of such action, suit or proceeding as a result of such failure. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to enable the Company to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification.
