Procedure for Notification. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss. If, at the time of the receipt of such request, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is reasonably likely to be available, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers, and copies of all subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the Company. The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantial defenses, rights or insurance coverage.

Notification of Claims. The Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim which could relate to an Indemnifiable Event or for which the Indemnitee could seek Expense Advances, including a brief description (based upon information then available to the Indemnitee) of the nature of, and the facts underlying, such Claim. The failure by the Indemnitee to timely notify the Company hereunder shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder except to the extent that the Company has been damaged by such delay. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with respect to any judicial award in a Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity to participate at its expense in the defense of such action. If at the time of the receipt of such notice, the Company has directors' and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for Claims related to Indemnifiable Events is potentially available, the Company shall give prompt written notice to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies.

Section # Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The officer of the Company receiving any such request from Indemnitee shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

Notice of Claim. All indemnification claims in respect of a Party, its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be made solely by such Party to this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”). The Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Losses or discovery of fact upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under this Article 11, but in no event shall the indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims.

Following the discovery of any facts or conditions that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a Loss or Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement, the indemnitee shall, as promptly as reasonably possible thereafter, provide written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnitor setting forth the specific facts and circumstances, in reasonable detail, relating to such Loss or Losses and the amount of Loss or Losses (or a good-faith estimate thereof if the actual amount is not known or not capable of reasonable calculation); provided, however, that failure to give such Claim Notice on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the indemnitor shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to provide a Claim Notice.

Section # Notification of Claims; Request for Indemnification. Indemnitee agrees to notify promptly the Company in writing of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement and in such notice shall specify his or her choice of a Determining Body; provided, however, that a delay in giving such notice will not deprive Indemnitee of any right to be indemnified under this Agreement unless such delay is materially prejudicial to the Company’s ability to defend such Proceeding; and, provided, further, that notice will be deemed to have been given without any action on the part of Indemnitee in the event the Company is a party to the same Proceeding. The failure to give proper notice to the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability for indemnification which it may have to Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. Indemnitee may deliver to the Company a written request to have the Company make a determination as to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Subject to [Section 6.7], such request may be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his or her sole discretion, provided that if the Indemnitee has not made such a request within 30 days following the date of final adjudication of a Proceeding, then the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to commence the procedures under [Section 6.2], including the right to select the Determining Body to determine Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification thereunder. Following such a written request for indemnification, Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined according to [Section 6.2]. The Secretary of the Company will, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. The Company will be entitled to participate in any Proceeding at its own expense.

Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof in a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The omission to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement unless the Company shall have lost significant substantive or procedural rights with respect to the defense of any Proceeding as a result of such omission to so notify.
