Notice of Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the applicable Indemnifying Party; provided, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to so assert any such claim shall not prejudice the ability of the Indemnified Party to do so at a later time except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.
