Transaction Litigation. In the event that any stockholder litigation related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is brought, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company or any Indemnified Party from and following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time (such litigation, other than any Proceeding in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to a demand for appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, which shall be governed by Section 4.2(g), “Transaction Litigation”), the Company shall as promptly as practicable (a) notify Parent thereof and shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof, (b) give Parent an opportunity to participate in the defense and/or settlement (at Parent’s sole expense and subject to a customary joint defense agreement) of any Transaction Litigation, (c) timely consult with Parent with respect to the defense and/or settlement of any Transaction Litigation and (d) shall consider in good faith Parent’s advice and recommendations with respect to such Transaction Litigation.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will provide Parent with prompt notice of all Transaction Litigation (including by providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto) and keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The Company will (a) give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation; and (b) consult with Parent with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation. The Company may not compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, any Transaction Litigation unless Parent has consented thereto in writing (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes of this Section 6.15, “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Transaction Litigation by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Transaction Litigation but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over such Transaction Litigation except for the settlement or compromise consent set forth above.

Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly of the commencement of any shareholder litigation relating to this Agreement or the Transactions of which it has received notice (“Transaction Litigation”). The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company or any of its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, and no such settlement of any shareholder litigation shall be agreed to by the Company or any of its Representatives without Parent’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Transaction Litigation.

Prior to the consummation of the Merger, without the prior written consent of the Company, Parent shall not settle any action, claim, suit or proceeding related to the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby unless such settlement provides a full and unconditional release for the Company and each officer and director of the Company party to such litigation. Each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate in the defense or settlement of any litigation contemplated by this Section 6.15.

Transaction Litigation. In the event any Proceeding by any Governmental Entity or other Person is commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company or Parent, as applicable, threatened, that questions the validity or legality of the Transactions or seeks damages or an injunction in connection therewith, including stockholder litigation (“Transaction Litigation”), the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other Party of such Transaction Litigation and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. Each Party shall give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any Transaction Litigation (at such Party’s cost) and shall consider in good faith, acting reasonably the other Party’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation; provided that the Party that is subject to such Transaction Litigation shall not offer or agree to settle any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Transaction Litigation. Each party hereto shall keep the other parties hereto reasonably informed of, and cooperate with the other parties hereto in connection with, any litigation or claim brought or threatened against any party hereto or its directors, officers or employees relating to the Transactions (any such litigation or claim, “Transaction Litigation”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require any party hereto to take any action if it may result in a waiver of any attorney-client or any other similar privilege; provided further that such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for the taking of such action in a manner that does not result in a waiver of such privilege, including by entering into a customary joint defense or similar agreement. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense of any Transaction Litigation brought or threatened against the Company or its directors, officers or employees, shall consider in good faith Parent’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation and shall not settle or agree to settle any such Transaction Litigation without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding the above, Parent’s consent to settle any Transaction Litigation shall not be required to the extent such Transaction Litigation is settled solely for the payment of monies which are reasonably likely to be recoverable from insurance policies available to the Company or its Representatives (other than any deductibles or retention amounts applicable thereto).
Transaction Litigation. Other than any Proceeding or Action where Parent is adverse to the Partnership, the Partnership shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any security holder litigation against the Partnership, and/or its respective directors relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
