The Indemnifying Party shall then give the Indemnified Party notice of its intent to pay or dispute such claim, specifying in reasonable detail the reason(s) for its intended action. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any Action by a person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, may assume the defense of any such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.
