Third Party Claims. If any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under this Article XI is asserted against such Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (the “Third Party Claim Notice”) and the details thereof including an estimate of the claimed Losses (if known and quantifiable), copies of all relevant pleadings, documents and information to the Indemnifying Party within a period of thirty (30) days following the assertion of the Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party (the “Third Party Claim Notice Period”); provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party within the Third Party Claim Notice Period shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have actually and materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. Within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall, in writing, either acknowledge or deny its obligations to indemnify and defend under this Article XI.

A Party believing that it is entitled to indemnification under Sections 11(a)-(b) (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notification to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement of any Claim by a Third Party for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such Claim by a third party (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a third party Claim as provided in this Section 11(c)(i) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If a Party believes that a Claim presented to it for indemnification is one as to which the Party

An Indemnified Party shall give Indemnitor written notice of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding by or in respect of a third party as to which such Indemnified Party may request indemnification hereunder as soon as is practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days of the time that such Indemnified Party learns of such claim, assertion, event or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify Indemnitor shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such failure.

In the event that any Action or written claim or demand, for which an Indemnifying Party may have liability to any Indemnified Party hereunder (except any such claim or demand related to Taxes which shall be determined according to Section 7.4), is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third-Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third-Party Claim, together with a statement of any readily available information regarding such Third-Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”); provided that the failure to timely give a Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

Notice of Third Party Claim. In order for a party (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification under this ‎ARTICLE VIII in respect of Losses arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person other than Buyer or Seller against a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party must notify the party from whom indemnification is sought under this ‎ARTICLE VIII (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing (including in such notice a brief description of the Third Party Claim, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known or reasonably capable of estimation by the Indemnified Party); provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided under this ‎ARTICLE VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving an Action brought pursuant to a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) may be asserted by written notice to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days following receipt of notice of the Direct Claim to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as the Indemnifying Party reasonably considers necessary or appropriate. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both parties agree, at or prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), to the validity and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed-upon amount of the Direct Claim. No Indemnified Parties shall undertake or cause to be undertaken or allow any removal, remedial or response action with respect to which any Indemnified Parties may be entitled to indemnification without providing reasonable prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party.

Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents, or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Notice of Claims; Procedures. If any Indemnified Party makes any claim against any Indemnifying Party for indemnification under this Article VII, the claim shall be in writing and shall state in general terms the facts upon which such Indemnified Party makes the claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party in writing within twenty (20) Business Days from receipt of such claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. In the event of any claim or demand asserted against an Indemnified Party by a third party upon which the Indemnified Party may claim indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Daysafter receipt from the Indemnified Party of such claim or demand, indicating whether the Indemnifying Party intends to assume the defense of the claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any compromise or settlement to which the Indemnified Party has not consented in writing. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make such an election within the twenty (20) Business Day period, or otherwise fails to continue the defense of the Indemnified Party reasonably and in good faith, the Indemnified Party may assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and a recovery against the Indemnified Party suffered by it in good faith shall be conclusive in its favor against the Indemnifying Party.

If any Seller Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees (an “Indemnitee”) entitled to seek indemnification under this [Article 6] receives notice of the assertion, commencement or institution of a claim, suit, action or proceeding, or the imposition of a penalty or assessment by a third party that is not an Indemnitee (a “Third-Party Claim”), and the Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification hereunder for such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee shall promptly provide the party against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third-Party Claim (including any written demand, complaint, petition, summons or similar document relating thereto that is then in the Indemnitee’s possession), but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim. Any delay in providing, or the failure to provide such notification, shall not affect the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder except in the event that such delay or failure extends past the applicable survival expiration date set forth in Section ‎6.1, or to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the delay or failure.

Section # Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party to the Responsible Party in writing with reasonable promptness, setting forth the facts giving rise to and the alleged basis for such claim and, if known or reasonably ascertainable, the amount of the liability asserted or which may be asserted by reason thereof; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. In the event the Responsible Party disputes its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Article 9, the Responsible Party shall have forty-five (45) days after receipt of notice under this [Section 9.4] to give written notice of such objection, and the grounds therefor, and the Indemnified Party shall thereafter have fifteen (15) days to respond in writing to the objection of the Responsible Party. If after such fifteen (15) day period there remains a dispute as to any obligation, the Parties shall attempt in good faith for fifteen (15) days to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to such indemnification obligation.
