In any such proceeding, the indemnified party, at its sole expense, shall have the right to retain its own counsel. The indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of such Third Party Claim, as requested by, and at the reasonable expense of, the indemnifying party.

Defense of Third Party Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, at its own expense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that, if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may hire its own separate counsel (provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party) with respect to such Third Party Claim and the related action or suit, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such action or suit through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party and, except in the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim (which shall all be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement) for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim).

If a Third Party Claim is made against an indemnitee, the indemnitee shall permit the indemnitor to participate in the defense thereof (it being understood that the indemnitee shall control such defense unless the indemnitor assumes such defense as provided herein) and, if the indemnitor so chooses and acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the indemnitee therefor, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnitor provided that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnitee. Should the indemnitor so elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the indemnitor shall not be liable to the indemnitee for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof provided the indemnitor does not seek to assert any limitation on its indemnification responsibility to the indemnitee. If the indemnitor assumes such defense, the indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnitor, it being understood, however, that the indemnitor shall control such defense subject to the agreement of the indemnitor and the indemnitee to cooperate in the defense of such Third Party Claim as provided below. The indemnitor shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnitee for any period during which the indemnitor has not assumed the defense thereof or assumes the defense but asserts any limitation on its obligation to indemnify or defend which reduces its indemnification actions. If the indemnitor chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnitor’s request) the provision to the indemnitor of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim without the indemnitor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, but is under no obligation, to assume control of such defense of (and the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party in respect of) the Third-Party Claim if: # such Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, provided that in such event # the Indemnified Party shall not enter into any settlement of a such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and # the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose (provided, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party), # such Third-Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, # a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim or # the Indemnifying Party fails or is failing to reasonably, vigorously defend such Third-Party Claim;

The Indemnified Party shall have the right at all times to participate in the defense, settlement, negotiations or litigation relating to any third party claim or demand at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any matter as above provided, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend any such third party claim or demand, and will be entitled to settle any such claim or demand in its discretion for the account or benefit of the Indemnified Party. In any event, the Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense of any such action at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and the records of each party shall be available to the other with respect to such defense.

The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel # that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense (assuming reasonably prompt notice of the claim was given to the Indemnifying Party) or # retained because a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, each of which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party);

Rights to Defend or Settle; Third Party Claims, etc. # If the facts giving rise to any indemnification right under this Agreement shall involve any actual or threatened claim or demand against the Indemnified Party, or any possible claim by the Indemnified Party against any third party, such claim shall be referred to as a “Third Party Claim.” If the Corporation provides the Indemnified Party with an agreement in writing in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and his counsel, agreeing to indemnify, defend or prosecute and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from all costs and liability arising from any Third Party Claim (an “Agreement of Indemnity”), and demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Indemnified Party the financial wherewithal to accomplish such indemnification, the Corporation may at its own expense undertake full responsibility for the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim. The Corporation may contest or settle any such Third Party Claim for money damages on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate but shall be obligated to consult in good faith with the Indemnified Party and not to contest or settle any Third Party Claim involving injunctive or equitable relief against or affecting the Indemnified Party of his properties or assets without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be withheld unreasonably. The Indemnified Party may participate at his own expense and with his own counsel in defense or prosecution of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 1(c)(i), and such participation shall not relieve the Corporation of its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

If the indemnification sought pursuant hereto involves a claim made by a Third Party against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice ("Notice Period"), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such claims involve or seek injunctive or other relief that does not involve solely monetary obligations or involve a criminal matter, and provided, further that the Indemnified Party shall be permitted to take any actions necessary in the defense of such Third Party Claim during such Notice Period, if the Indemnifying Party has not yet assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim, and when practicable, the Indemnified Party shall provide prior notice of such action to the Indemnifying Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all of the Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include # the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party's request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and reasonably available to the Indemnified Party, and # making relevant employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligations to indemnify and defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) days after having been notified by the Indemnified Party of the existence of such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall defend such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted to a final conclusion or will be settled, at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement that imposes injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or does not fully and finally release the Indemnified Party from all claims, unless consented to by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party will cooperate fully in such defense, including by making available to the Indemnifying Party all books, records and documents within the Indemnified Party’s control or that it can reasonably obtain relating to the Third Party Claim, and all costs or expenses incurred by it at the request of the Indemnifying Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party may, at its cost and expense, at any time to prevent default or protect its interests, file any pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests due to the failure of the Indemnifying Party to diligently defend such Action. The Indemnified Party, at its expense, may participate in, but not control (except as provided in the subsequent paragraph), any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim conducted by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11.4(b).
