Neither party shall compromise, settle or otherwise resolve such claim or litigation without the other party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that failure to respond within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of written notice at the address set forth in this Agreement shall constitute consent to the proposed compromise, settlement or resolution.

Section # Indemnification Procedure. Should any claim covered by the foregoing indemnity be asserted, the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party promptly and give it an opportunity to defend the same and the indemnified party shall extend reasonable cooperation to the indemnified party in connection with such defense. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations. In the event that the indemnifying party fails to defend the same within a reasonable time, the indemnified party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, and the indemnifying party shall be liable to repay the indemnified party for all its expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and settlement payments.
