Control of Defense. In the event Assignor seeks indemnification under Section 9.1, Assignor shall inform Assignee of a claim as soon as reasonably practicable after Assignor receives notice of the claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by Assignor to give notice of a claim as provided in this Section 9.2 shall not relieve Assignee of Assignee’s indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that Assignee is actually damaged as a direct result of such failure to give notice), shall permit Assignee to assume direction and control of the defense of the claim (including the right to settle the claim solely for monetary consideration) using counsel reasonably satisfactory to Assignor, and shall cooperate as requested (at the expense of Assignee) in the defense of the claim. If Assignee does not assume control of such defense within […​…] after receiving notice of the claim from Assignor, Assignor shall control such defense and, without limiting Assignee’s indemnification obligations, Assignee shall reimburse Assignor for all costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by Assignor in defending itself within […​…] after receipt of any invoice therefor from Assignor. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at such party’s own expense. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. Assignor shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of Assignee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Assignee shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of Assignor from all liability with respect thereto, that imposes any liability or obligation on Assignor, that acknowledges fault by Assignor without the prior written consent of Assignor.
