Delay in Possession contract clause examples

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.

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.

Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party 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 Third-Party 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 the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that, if the Indemnifying Party is the Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.03(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal, or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, # there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or # there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.03(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim, and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from, or relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.06) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

The party seeking indemnification (the “Claimant”) shall give notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) of any claim, whether solely between the parties or brought by a third party, specifying # the factual basis for the Claim, and # the amount of the Claim. If the Claim relates to an action, suit or proceeding filed by a third party against Claimant, notice shall be given by Claimant within fifteen (15) business days after written notice of the action, suit or proceeding was given to Claimant. In all other circumstances, notice shall be given by Claimant within thirty (30) business days after Claimant becomes, or should have become, aware of the facts giving rise to the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Claimant’s failure to give Indemnitor timely notice shall not preclude Claimant from seeking indemnification from Indemnitor except to the extent that Claimant’s failure has materially prejudiced Indemnitor’s ability to defend the claim or litigation.

In the case of any claim for indemnification under this Agreement arising from a claim of a third party (including any Governmental Authority), an Indemnitee must give prompt written notice and, subject to the following sentence, in no case later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee’s receipt of notice of such claim, to the Indemnitor of any claim of which such Indemnitee has knowledge and as to which it may request indemnification hereunder. The failure to give such notice will not, however, relieve an Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations except to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually harmed thereby. The Indemnitor will have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such claim in its name and at its expense, and with counsel selected by the Indemnitor unless: # the Indemnitor fails to acknowledge fully its obligations to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice of such third party claim or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations therefor; # if the Indemnitor is Buyer, the applicable third party claimant is a Governmental Authority or a then-current material customer of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates; # if the Indemnitor is Buyer, an adverse judgment with respect to the claim will establish a precedent materially adverse to the continuing business interests of Buyer, the Company or their respective Affiliates; # outside counsel to the Indemnitee has informed Indemnitee that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor in the conduct of such defense; # the applicable third party alleges claims of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation; or # such claim is criminal in nature, could reasonably be expected to lead to criminal proceedings, or seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor elects, and is entitled, to compromise or defend such claim, it will within fifteen (15) days (or sooner, if the nature of the claim so requires) notify the Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee will, at the request and expense of the Indemnitor, cooperate in the defense of such claim. If the Indemnitor elects not to, or is not entitled under this Section 8.4(b) to, compromise or defend such claim, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or refuses to acknowledge or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnitor will have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such claim which has been or will be settled by the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee will not be required to refrain from paying any claim which has matured by a court judgment or decree, unless an appeal is duly taken therefrom and exercise thereof has been stayed, nor will it be required to refrain from paying any claim where the delay in paying such claim would result in the foreclosure of a Lien upon any of the property or assets then held by the Indemnitee or where any delay in payment would cause the Indemnitee material economic loss. The Indemnitor’s right to direct the defense will include the right to compromise or enter into an agreement settling any claim by a third party; provided that no such compromise or settlement will obligate the Indemnitee to agree to any settlement that that requires the taking or restriction of any action (including the payment of money and competition restrictions) by the Indemnitee (other than the delivery of a release for such claim and customary confidentiality obligations), except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (such consent to be withheld, conditioned or delayed only for a good faith reason). Notwithstanding the Indemnitor’s right to compromise or settle in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnitor may not settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that consent by the Indemnitee to settlement or compromise will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any additional Losses above the compromise or settlement amount to the extent the Indemnitee withholds its consent. The Indemnitee will have the right to participate in the defense of any claim with a counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnitor’s right to direct the defense. The fees and disbursements of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that, in the case of any claim which seeks injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee, the fees and disbursements of such counsel will be at the expense of the Indemnitor.

Any claim for indemnification of Adverse Consequences under this [Article 6] that is not a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) by an Indemnitee shall be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof; provided, however, that 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. Such notice shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, including (to the extent practicable) copies of any written evidence thereof and indicate the estimated amount of Adverse Consequences, if reasonably practicable, that has been sustained by the Indemnitee.

If an Indemnified Buyer Entity or an Indemnified Seller Entity (each, an “Indemnified Entity”) believes that a claim, demand or other circumstance exists that has given or may reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article 8 (whether or not the amount of Indemnifiable Losses relating thereto is then quantifiable), such Indemnified Entity shall assert its claim for indemnification by giving written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Entity”) # if the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim for indemnification is, or relates to, a claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a Person not a Party or affiliated with any such Party (a “Third Party”), within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of notice of such claim, suit, action or proceeding by such Indemnified Entity, or # if the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim for indemnification is not, or does not relate to, a claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a Third Party, as promptly as practicable after the discovery by the Indemnified Entity of the circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnity; provided, that in each case in clauses (i) and (ii), that the failure to notify or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Entity, as the case may be, will not relieve the Indemnifying Entity of its obligations pursuant to this Article 8, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Entity is materially prejudiced as a result thereof. Each Claim Notice shall describe the claim and the basis of such claim in reasonable detail.

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.

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
