Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that, if the Indemnifying Party is the Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third-Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 8.03(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal, or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that, if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, # there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or # there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.03(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim, and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from, or relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Seller and the Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.06) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. [[Organization A:Organization]] and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 8.5(b)) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 8.4(a), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided, that # the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim, # the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, # the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, # settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party, and # the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party apprised of all material developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permit the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have a duty to cooperate, when requested, in the defense of the Third-Party Claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.4(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party regarding the defense of the Third-Party Claim.
Notice of Third Party Claim. In order for a party (an “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII in respect of Losses arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person other than Buyer or Seller against a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party must notify the party from whom indemnification is sought under this ARTICLE VIII (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly in writing (including in such notice a brief description of the Third Party Claim, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known or reasonably capable of estimation by the Indemnified Party); provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided under this ARTICLE VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.
Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to [Section 4.12(a)] and this [Section 9.2], the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, if # the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Action, # the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or # defense of the Third Party Claim would reasonably be expected to harm the Indemnified Party’s reputation or business relationships,; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense except that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such external separate counsel if representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this [Section 9.2(c)(ii)], the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of external counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing books and records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement or compromise of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided, that such settlement or judgment does not involve any injunctive or other equitable relief or finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates and expressly unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all Liabilities with respect to such Third Party Claim. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.
If the indemnification sought pursuant hereto involves a claim made by a Third Party against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice ("Notice Period"), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such claims involve or seek injunctive or other relief that does not involve solely monetary obligations or involve a criminal matter, and provided, further that the Indemnified Party shall be permitted to take any actions necessary in the defense of such Third Party Claim during such Notice Period, if the Indemnifying Party has not yet assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim, and when practicable, the Indemnified Party shall provide prior notice of such action to the Indemnifying Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall 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, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all of the Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include # the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party's request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and reasonably available to the Indemnified Party, and # making relevant employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or resulting litigation within thirty (30) days after the date that notice of such claim is received from the Indemnified Party, # the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation, in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and # the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such third party claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the Indemnified Party did not defend or settle such third party claim in a reasonably prudent manner.
If a third party initiates a claim, demand, dispute, lawsuit or arbitration (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Person (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party might make a claim for indemnification against any Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article 8, then the Indemnified Party must promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that any failure on the part of an Indemnified Party to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 8 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such proceeding).
If any Seller Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees (an “Indemnitee”) entitled to seek indemnification under this [Article 6] receives notice of the assertion, commencement or institution of a claim, suit, action or proceeding, or the imposition of a penalty or assessment by a third party that is not an Indemnitee (a “Third-Party Claim”), and the Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification hereunder for such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee shall promptly provide the party against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third-Party Claim (including any written demand, complaint, petition, summons or similar document relating thereto that is then in the Indemnitee’s possession), but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim. Any delay in providing, or the failure to provide such notification, shall not affect the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder except in the event that such delay or failure extends past the applicable survival expiration date set forth in Section 6.1, or to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the delay or failure.
The party obligated to indemnify another party hereunder is referred to herein as the Indemnifying Party and the party entitled to indemnification hereunder is referred to herein as the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the assertion by the Indemnified Party or by a third party of any liability which the Indemnified Party has reason to believe might give rise to an Indemnity Claim; provided, however, that any failure to provide such prompt written notice shall limit the Indemnified Partys right to indemnification hereunder only if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such action or claim, and shall include a copy of any written complaint, summons, correspondence or other communication from the party asserting the claim or initiating the action. As to any such Indemnity Claim which involves a third party, if the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall assume and thereafter control the defense of such Indemnity Claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, together with the Indemnifying Party, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of any such matter through the Indemnified Partys own attorneys and at its own expense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have control thereof, and the Indemnified Party, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to such third party claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not make any settlement of any claims on behalf of the Indemnified Party, other than claims strictly for monetary damages as to which the Indemnifying Party agrees to be solely responsible, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Indemnifying Party, within 20 days after notice of an Indemnity Claim which involves a third party, fails to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim for the account of and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at any time prior to the settlement, compromise or final determination thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not, without the Indemnifying Partys prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any such claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such claim. This Section shall survive the Closing.
