In addition, the Parties shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such action or claim. The Party in charge of the defense shall keep the other Parties fully and timely apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Entity elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Entity shall be entitled to participate in such defense (which participation rights shall include the right to attend any meetings with a Third Party or hearings or proceedings before any Governmental Entity to the extent they relate to such claim and to receive promptly copies of all pleadings, notices and communications related to such claim) with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Entity, at such Indemnified Entity’s sole cost and expense except if # a conflict of interest in relation to such action or claim exists between the Indemnifying Entity and the Indemnified Entity in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Entity or # such action or claims seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Entity. The Indemnifying Entity must conduct its defense of any Third Party Claim described herein reasonably actively and diligently in order to preserve its rights in this Section 8.03(b).
