or
proceeding to judgment or final decree against Company or other obligor
upon
this Note, wherever situated, the monies adjudicated or decreed to be payable.

expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other
costs and expenses incident to any action, investigation, claim or proceeding

For
purposes of this Section, the party entitled to indemnification shall be
known
as the “Indemnified
Party”
and
the
party required to indemnify shall be known as the “Indemnifying
Party.”
In
the
event that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to the Indemnified
Party
pursuant to this Section or in the event that a suit, action, investigation,
claim or proceeding is begun, made or instituted as a result of which the
Indemnifying Party may become obligated to the Indemnified Party hereunder,
the
Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice, within ten (10) business
days, to the Indemnifying Party of the occurrence of such event. The failure
of
the Indemnified Party to provide the Indemnifying Party with timely notice
will
limit the indemnification provided for in this Article VII, only if, and

extent that, the failure to provide such timely notice results in the forfeiture
of substantial rights by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party
agrees
to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such suit, action,
investigation, claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and
expense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation
to
participate at its own expense in the defense thereof by counsel of its
own
choice. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified
Party within ten (10) days of its receipt of notice of a claim that it
intends
to assume the defense thereof or thereafter to timely defend, contest or
otherwise protect against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or
proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, contest
or
otherwise protect against the same and may make any compromise or settlement
thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from the Indemnifying Party
including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all
amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation, claim or
proceeding or compromise or settlement thereof.
Section
8.4 Settlement
of Claims.
If an
Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any suit, action, claim, proceeding
or
investigation for which it is called upon to indemnify the Indemnified
Party
pursuant to this Article VII no compromise or settlement thereof may be
effected
by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party's prior written
consent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
