Common use of Process for Indemnification Clause in Contracts

Process for Indemnification. SBHASO will notify Contractor of any Damages for which it seeks indemnification. Upon a SBHASO request for defense, Contractor will use counsel reasonably satisfactory to the SBHASO Indemnified Parties to defend each claim related to the Damages and will keep the SBHASO Indemnified Parties informed of the status of the defense of each of the Damages. SBHASO will give Contractor reasonable assistance, at Contractor’s expense, as Contractor may reasonably request. SBHASO will provide Contractor the opportunity to assume sole control over defense and settlement, as long as Contractor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the SBHASO Indemnified Parties’ prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Any SBHASO Indemnified Party may participate in the defense at its own expense. Contractor’s duty to defend is independent of its duty to indemnify, to mitigate, or to cover costs.
