The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Indemnitee, to assume the investigation and defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, (i) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the position of the Indemnified Party and of the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding or that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnified Party, then counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to conduct a defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interest of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) in any event, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party participate in, but not to conduct, the defense. No Indemnified Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as a unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

If Indemnitor has assumed the defense of any claim against Indemnitee, Indemnitor shall have the right to settle any claim for which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder; provided that, to the extent that such settlement requires Indemnitee to take, or prohibits Indemnitee from taking, any action or purports to obligate Indemnitee, then Indemnitor shall not settle such claim without the prior written consent of Indemnitee.
