Third Party Claims. If a claim by a third party is made against any Indemnified Party, and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under Section 15, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claims; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense thereof and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly be entitled to assume the defense of such action only to the extent the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its indemnity obligation and assumes and holds such Indemnified Party harmless from and against the full amount of any Loss resulting therefrom; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; or (iv) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party unless (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed, within a reasonable time after having been notified by the Indemnified Party of the e...
Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.03(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party.
Third Party Claims. (a) If any third party shall notify any Indemnified Party in writing with respect to any matter involving a claim by such third party (a “Third Party Claim”) which such Indemnified Party believes would give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article IV, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such claim and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement.

(c) If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including the making of any related counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any person. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to any Third Party Claim, other than any privileged communications between the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, and shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain separate co-counsel and participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 4.2(b).
(d) In the event of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make such an election within the 30 days of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle, compr...

(a) If any party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1 (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any such third person of any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, arbitration, hearing, inquiry, proceeding, complaint, charge or investigation by or before any governmental entity or arbitrator and an appeal from any of the foregoing (any such claim or Action being referred to herein as an “Indemnifiable Claim”) with respect to which another party hereto (an “Indemnifying Party”) is or may be obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (the “Claim Notice”) of the Indemnifiable Claim; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve or otherwise affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to provide indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that any damages directly resulted or were caused by such failure.
(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, that (A) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be borne by the Indemnifying Party, and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Indemnifiable Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. So long as the Indemnifying Party is vigorously contesting any such Indemnifiable Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice that it elects to undertake the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim described therein, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle, or compromise the Indemnifiable Claim in the exercise of its reasonable discretion; provided, that the Indemnifi...
Third Party Claims. If the Acquiror is subject to Indemnifiable Damages or has otherwise properly delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Shareholders’ Agent in accordance with Section 9.5 hereof with respect to a third party claim, Acquiror shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve any such claim (and the costs and expenses incurred by Acquiror in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable legal fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Indemnifiable Damages for which Acquiror may seek indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder); provided, however, that Acquiror shall not settle or resolve such claim without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Shareholders’ Agent shall receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the third-party claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person and shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the third-party claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the third-party claim. However, except with the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given unless the Shareholders’ Agent shall have objected within [***] after a written request for such consent by Acquiror, no settlement or resolution by Acquiror of any claim that gives rise to a claim against such applicable Escrow Fund by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person shall be determinative of the existence of or amount of Indemnifiable Damages relating to such matter. In the event that the Shareholders’ Agent has consented to any such settlement or resolution, or if the Shareholders’ Agent shall have been determined by a final non-appealable court order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent to any such settlement or resolution, neither the Shareholders’ Agent nor any Closing Company Shareholder shall have any power or authority to object under Section 9.6 or any other provision of this Article IX to recovery by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person against the applicable Escrow Fund for the Indemnifiable Da...

The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s rights or defenses are materially harmed by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, and shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof.

The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

Third Party Claims. (a) Promptly after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4 (an "Indemnified Person") of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an "Indemnifying Person") of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person's failure to give such notice.
(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 6.8(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 6 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

Third Party Claims. (a) If any third party shall notify an Indemnified Party in writing with respect to any matter involving a claim by such third party (a “Third Party Claim”) and such Indemnified Party believes such claim would give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. The failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure.
(b) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, which right shall remain in effect if and for so long as the Indemnifying Party continues to diligently defend against such Action; provided, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be entitled to assume the defense of any Action if such Action (i) is with respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation or (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party. To the extent the Indemnifying Party is entitled to and elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of its intention to do so within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Claim Notice. Upon delivery of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall diligently defend such Action to a final non-appealable adjudication or settlement, provided, that, (i) any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) and the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the progress of such defense on a regular basis.

Third Party Claims. With respect to third party claims, if within twenty (20) days after receiving the notice described in clause (a) above the indemnifying party gives (i) written notice to the indemnified party stating that (A) it would be liable under the provisions hereof for indemnity in the amount of such claim if such claim were successful and (B) that it disputes and intends to defend against such claim, liability or expense at its own cost and expense and (ii) provides reasonable assurance to the indemnified party that such claim will be promptly paid in full if required, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the indemnifying party (subject to the consent of the indemnified party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the indemnified party shall not be required to make any payment with respect to such claim, liability or expense as long as the indemnifying party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense at its own expense; provided, however, that the assumption of defense of any such matters by the indemnifying party shall relate solely to the claim, liability or expense that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification. The indemnifying party shall have the right, with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled provided the indemnifying parties' obligation to indemnify the indemnified party therefor will be fully satisfied. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party apprised of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish the indemnified party with all documents and information that the indemnified party shall reasonably request and shall consult with the indemnified party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, the indemnified party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the expense of separate counsel for the indemnified party shall be paid by the indemnifying party. If no such notice of...
