(c)
Any party seeking indemnification under this Article VIII (an "Indemnified Party") shall give each party from whom indemnification is being sought (each, an "Indemnifying Party") notice of any matter for which such Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification, stating the amount of the Damages, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The obligations of an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII with respect to Damages arising from any claims of any third party that are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII (collectively, "Third-Party Claims") shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an Indemnified Party shall receive, after the Closing Date, initial notice of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third-Party Claim within such time frame as is necessary to allow for a timely response and in any event within 30 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such timely notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the judgment of the Indemnified Party (upon advice of counsel) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party and such counsel shall contest such Third-Party Claims in good faith. In the event the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third-Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials, and information in the Indemnified Party's possession or under the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, all such witnesses, records, materials, and information in the Indemnifying Party's possession or under the Indemnifying Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, (i) settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a written release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim, or (ii) settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim in any manner that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party. Finally, no Third-Party Claim that is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party or that is being defended by the Indemnified Party as provided above in this Section 8.1(c) shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
