commencement of any Proceeding
against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an
indemnifying party under such Section 9.1 or 9.2, give notice to the
indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify
the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability
that it may have to an indemnified party, except to me extent that the
indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced
by
the indemnifying party's failure to give such notice.
9.3.2 If
any
Proceeding referred to in Section
9.3.1 is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the
indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying
party will, unless the claim involves taxes, be entitled to participate in
such
Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party
is also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in
good
faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the indemnifying
party fails to provide the reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of
its
financial capacity to defend such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such
Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice
from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume
the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as
it
diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under
this
Section 9.3.3 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect
to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the
indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other
than
reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense
of a Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this
Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and
subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims
may
be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent
unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal
Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on
any
other claims that may be made against the indemnified party, and (B) the sole
relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying
party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect
to
any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If
notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding
and the indemnifying party does not, within ten (10) days after the indemnified
party's notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election
to
assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound
by
any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement
effected by the indemnified party.
12
9.3.3 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there
is a
reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its
affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may,
by
notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend,
compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party will not
be
bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or
settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably
withheld).
9.3.4 Each
of
the parties hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court
in
which a Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of
any
claims that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect
to
such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may
be
served on an indemnifying party with respect to such a claim anywhere in the
world.
