Claims. The party entitled to indemnification under this Article 19 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice of any third party claim or suit and shall permit the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) to undertake the defense at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in such defense, to the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense at its own expense. In any claim made or suit brought for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification under this Article 19, the Indemnified Party shall not settle or offer to settle such claim or suit, or admit liability or damages, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim or suit in such a manner as would create an obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party to any third party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

Indemnification Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this ARTICLE 9 (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.

The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money. So long as the Indemnifying Party is actively defending the Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above, # the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and # the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided in this Article 11.

Procedure. To be eligible to be Indemnified hereunder, the indemnified Party shall provide the indemnifying Party with prompt notice of the Third-Party Claim giving rise to the indemnification obligation pursuant to this Section 9.4 and the exclusive ability to defend (with the reasonable cooperation of the indemnified Party). The indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim against the indemnified Party without the consent of the indemnified Party provided that the terms thereof: ​. In all other cases, the indemnified Party and indemnifying Party must agree to enter into any proposed settlement. The indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, ​, in the defense of any claim or suit that has been assumed by the indemnifying Party, provided that the indemnifying Party shall have no obligations with respect to any Losses resulting from the indemnified Party’s admission, settlement or other communication without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.

Indemnification Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this ARTICLE XIII (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 and shall tender the defense of such Claim to the Indemnifying Party. 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. The Indemnified Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money, and no admission of wrong-doing or fault by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

In the event of a Third Party Claim against a Party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (“Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the other Party (“Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim and the Indemnifying Party shall undertake and solely manage and control, at its sole expense, the defense of the claim and its settlement. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and may, at its option and expense, be represented in any such action or proceeding by counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation costs or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim unless such settlement fully and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liability relating thereto, unless the Indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing.

Procedure. To be eligible to be Indemnified hereunder, the indemnified Party shall provide the indemnifying Party with prompt notice of the Third-Party Claim giving rise to the indemnification obligation pursuant to this [Section 9.5] and the exclusive ability to defend (with the reasonable cooperation of the indemnified Party) or settle any such claim; provided that delay or failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under [Section 9.5(a)] or [Section 9.5(b)], as applicable, except to the extent the indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such delay or failure; further provided, however, that the indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement that admits fault, wrongdoing or damages without the indemnified Party’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each such notice of the Third-Party Claim shall contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of any Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss is known at such time). The indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses and Third Party Claims. The indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense and with counsel of its choice, in the defense of any claim or suit that has been assumed by the indemnifying Party, provided that the indemnifying Party shall have no obligations with respect to any Losses resulting from the indemnified Party’s admission, settlement or other communication without the prior written consent of the indemnifying Party.

Any Third Party Claim. If any third party claim is commenced against a Party entitled to indemnification under this Article 21 (the “Indemnified Party”), notice thereof will be given to the Party obligated to indemnify such claim (the “Indemnifying Party”) as promptly as practicable. No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise any third party claim that may be the subject of an indemnification claim against the Indemnifying Party, whereby such claim involves the payment of money, injunctive relief or any admission by, or obligation imposed on, the Indemnifying Party, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, except as set forth herein. Any settlement or compromise of such third party claim without such consent from the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation with respect to such claim.

In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted, or that any claim shall be asserted, by any Person not party to this Agreement in respect of an Indemnification Claim, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Indemnification Claim of which it has knowledge that is covered by this indemnity to be delivered to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”); provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to defend against any Indemnification Claim and if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against any Indemnification Claim, it shall within twenty (20) Business Days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) (the “Dispute Period”) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect within the Dispute Period to defend against any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against any Indemnification Claim, # the Indemnifying Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend and protect the interests of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnification Claim, # the Indemnified Party, prior to or during the period in which the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such matter, may take such reasonable actions as the Indemnified Party deems necessary to preserve any and all rights with respect to such matter, without such actions being construed as a waiver of the Indemnified Party’s rights to defense and indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, # the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that it shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Indemnification Claim pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX and # the Indemnified Party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if # so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or # based upon the advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or there are defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one firm of counsel (in addition to local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with an Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.4 to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise, or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to, any Indemnification Claim (each, a “Settlement”) unless # the claimant and such Indemnifying Party provide to such Indemnified Party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim, # such Settlement does not impose any Liabilities on the Indemnified Party, and # with respect to any non-monetary provision of such Settlement, such provisions would not, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, have or be reasonably expected to have any adverse effect on the business, assets, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of the Indemnified Party.

Procedures. Any indemnified party submitting an indemnity claim under this Section 13, as applicable (“Indemnified Party”), shall: # promptly notify the indemnifying Party (“Indemnifying Party”), of such claim in writing and furnish the Indemnifying Party with a copy of the applicable communication, notice or other action relating to the event for which indemnity is sought; provided that, no failure to provide such notice pursuant to this clause (a) shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend or settle the claim; # give the Indemnifying Party the authority, information and assistance necessary to defend or settle such suit or proceeding in such a manner as the Indemnifying Party shall determine; and # give the Indemnifying Party sole control of the defense (including the right to select counsel, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense) and the sole right to compromise and settle such suit or proceeding; provided, however, that in the case of the [foregoing clauses (b) and (c)])], the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, compromise or settle any suit or proceeding unless such compromise or settlement # is solely for monetary damages (for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible), # does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and # includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. The Indemnified Party (in its capacity as such) may participate in the defense at its own expense.

Procedure. Each Party will notify the other Party in writing if it becomes aware of a claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) will be instituted involving any Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this ARTICLE 9, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) will give prompt written notice of the indemnity claim to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) and provide a copy to the Indemnifying Party of any complaint, summons or other written or verbal notice that the Indemnified Party receives in connection with any such claim. An Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver written notice will relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE 9 only to the extent such delay 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 any litigation relating to such claim and the disposition of such claim by negotiated settlement or otherwise and any failure to contest 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 withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably other than settlements only involving the payment of monetary awards for which the Indemnifying Party will be fully-responsible. The Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such Party’s defense of any claim for which indemnity is sought under this Agreement, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense.
