Indemnification Procedures. The Party seeking indemnification under Section 10.1 or 10.2, as applicable (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice to the Party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion or commencement of any Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 10.1 or 10.2, as applicable, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall assume and control the defense and settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding at its own expense; provided, however, if the Indemnified Party is G1, it shall assume and control the defense and settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall, if requested by the Indemnifying Party, cooperate in all reasonable respects in such defense, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled at its own expense to participate in such defense and to employ separate counsel for such purpose. For so long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently defending any proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under Section 10.1 or 10.2, as applicable, for any settlement effected without its consent. No Party shall enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the other Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action without the other Party’s prior written consent (unless such compromise or settlement includes no payments by the Indemnified Party, an unconditional release of, and no admission of liability by, the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Claim).

Indemnification Procedures. The Party seeking indemnification under [Section 10.1 or 10.2]2], as applicable (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice to the Party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion or commencement of any Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under [Section 10.1 or 10.2]2], as applicable, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall assume and control the defense and settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding at its own expense; provided, however, if the Indemnified Party is TYME, it shall assume and control the defense and settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall, if requested by the Indemnifying Party, cooperate in all reasonable respects in such defense, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled at its own expense to participate in such defense and to employ separate counsel for such purpose. For so long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently defending any proceeding pursuant to this [Section 10.3], the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under [Section 10.1 or 10.2]2], as applicable, for any settlement effected without its consent. No Party shall enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the other Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action without the other Party’s prior written consent (unless such compromise or settlement includes no payments by the Indemnified Party, an unconditional release of, and no admission of liability by, the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Claim).

Indemnification Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this [Article 10] (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the Party from whom indemnity is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after learning of such Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and conduct the defense of the Claim with counsel of its choice, and the Indemnified Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense of the Claim for which indemnity is being sought. Each Party shall not settle or compromise any Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the Parties cannot agree as to the application of the foregoing [Sections 10.1 and 10.2]2], each may conduct separate defenses of the Claim, and each Party reserves the right to claim indemnity from the other in accordance with this [Article 10] upon the resolution of the underlying Claim.

Indemnification Procedures: Should a Party (the "Indemnified Party") be notified of any Third Party claim in respect of which the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") may be reasonably liable under the indemnification obligation provided for in this Section 10, the Indemnified Party shall # give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof; and # give the Indemnifying Party the opportunity to defend, negotiate, and settle any such action or claim. To such extent, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with all information in its possession, and all authority and assistance necessary to enable Indemnifying Party to defend, negotiate, compromise or settle any such claim, action or suit. The Indemnified Party shall further cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives (at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense) in the investigation, negotiation, compromise, settlement and defence of such claim, action or suit. In any case, it is hereby understood that # the Indemnified Party reserves the right to retain its own counsel to defend itself (at its own cost and expense) in such claim, action or suit; and # in no event shall either Party enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Procedure. If any Claim (including any governmental investigation) is brought against a Party with respect to which such Party may seek indemnity pursuant to [Section 10.1.1] or [Section 10.1.2], as applicable, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) will give prompt written notice of the Claim to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) and provide the Indemnifying Party with a copy of any complaint, summons or other written notice that the Indemnified Party receives in connection with such Claim. An Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver such written notice will relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability to the Indemnified Party under [Section 10.1.1] or [Section 10.1.2], as applicable, only to the extent such failure is prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such Claim. Provided that the Indemnifying Party is not contesting the indemnity obligation, the Indemnified Party will permit the Indemnifying Party to control the defense of such Claim and the disposition of such Claim by negotiated settlement or otherwise (subject to this [Section 10.1]), and any failure by the Indemnifying Party to contest such obligation prior to assuming control will be deemed to be an admission of the obligation to indemnify. The Indemnifying Party will act reasonably and in good faith with respect to all matters relating to such Claim and will not settle or otherwise resolve such Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that such consent will not be required with respect to any settlement that involves only the payment of monetary awards for which the Indemnifying Party will be fully responsible and that includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the Indemnifying Party’s defense of any Claim for which indemnity is sought under this Agreement, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense.

Indemnification Procedure. In the event that a Party seeks indemnification hereunder with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Third Party Claim in respect of which it intends to claim indemnification under this Article 10 upon actual knowledge of any such claim or proceeding resulting in Losses, but in no event will the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. The Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Losses (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Losses is known at such time). The Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume exclusive control of the defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim, subject to the limitations on settlement set forth below. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, then such assumption by the Indemnifying Party will not be construed as an acknowledgement that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification and the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (the Indemnifying Party will consult with the Indemnified Party with respect to a possible conflict of interest of such counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnified Party will 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. If the Indemnifying Party does not commence actions to assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim within ​ after the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Indemnification Claim Notice required pursuant to this [Section 10.3], the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend such claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party (and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification. The Indemnifying Party may not settle or otherwise dispose of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement includes only the payment of monetary damages (which are fully paid by the Indemnifying Party), does not impose any injunctive or equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, does not require any admission or acknowledgment of liability or fault of the Indemnified Party and contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, no Indemnified Party will admit any liability with respect to or settle or otherwise dispose of any Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable for Losses under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Procedure. If a Party (the “Indemnitee”) intends to claim indemnification under this Article 10, it shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding for which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnitor so desires, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Parties; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnitee and any other Party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The obligations of this Article 10 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Indemnitor of any obligation to the Indemnitee under this Article 10. The Indemnitee, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding covered by this Article 10. The Indemnitor shall not, without the Indemnitee’s consent, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably, consent to the entry of any judgment or accept any settlement with respect to such claim, demand, action or proceeding which imposes liability not covered by this indemnification or restrictions on the Indemnitee.

Indemnification Procedure. Each Party seeking indemnification under [Section 10.2 or 10.3]3], as the case may be (the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly inform the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) upon becoming aware of a Loss or Third Party Claim (including a copy of any related complaint, summons, notice or other instrument) made for which the Indemnifying Party might be liable under [Section 10.2 or 10.3]3], as the case may be; provided that any delay in providing such notice will qualify the obligation of the Indemnifying Party, as relevant, only to the extent of actual prejudice to the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend the Third Party Claim. Subject to [Section 10.5], the Indemnifying Party may defend, negotiate, and settle such Third Party Claims; provided that, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense and to employ counsel at its expense to assist in such defense. Subject to [Section 10.5], in the event Indemnifying Party takes up such defense, the Indemnifying Party will have final decision-making authority regarding all aspects of the defense of any Third Party Claim. In the event Indemnifying Party does not employ counsel to defend such Third Party Claim within 30 days of receiving notice of such Third Party Claim, Indemnified Party may employee counsel of its choosing to defend and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, including any settlement or judgment. Indemnified Party may also employee counsel at Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, if the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to make inappropriate or impermissible the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Laws, ethical rules or equitable principles. The Party not defending the Third Party Claim will provide the defending Party with such information and assistance as the defending Party may reasonably request, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Parties understand that no insurance deductible will be credited against losses for which a Party is responsible under this ARTICLE 10.

A party that makes a claim for indemnification under this Article 10 shall promptly notify the other party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any action, claim or other matter in respect of which such party, intends to claim such indemnification; provided, however, that failure to provide such notice within a reasonable period of time shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure. The indemnified party shall permit the Indemnitor, at its discretion, to settle any such action, claim or other matter, and the indemnified party agrees to the complete control of such defense or settlement by the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement that would adversely affect the indemnified party’s rights hereunder, or impose any obligations on the indemnified party in addition to those set forth herein, in order for it to exercise such rights, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No such action, claim or other matter shall be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnified party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any action, claim or other matter covered by the indemnification obligations of this Article 10. The indemnified party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be represented in such defense by counsel of its own selection and at its own expense.

Procedure. Any party that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under this Section 10 will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party or parties under this Section 10, notify each such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, enclosing a copy of all papers served, but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from # any liability that it might have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10 and # any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under the foregoing provision of this Section 10 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the indemnifying party. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of its commencement, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it elects by delivering written notice to the indemnified party promptly after receiving notice of the commencement of the action from the indemnified party, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of the action, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable and documented costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless # the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, # the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, # a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or # the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. All such fees, disbursements and other charges will be reimbursed by the indemnifying party promptly after the indemnifying party receives a written invoice relating to fees, disbursements and other reasonable charges in reasonable detail. An indemnifying party will not, in any event, be liable for any settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 10 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent # includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and # does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
