Notice to Indemnifying Party.

Such notice shall be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party for indemnification hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Party shall in all cases be entitled to control the defense of any such action if it (i) may result in injunctions or other equitable remedies in respect of the Party or its business; or (ii) may have an adverse impact on the Party's business or its financial condition even if the other Party pays all indemnification amounts in full.
