(a)                The Partnership and the Operating Company agree that within a reasonable period of time after they become aware of information relating to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, they shall provide notice thereof in writing to HLNGH specifying such information.

(b)                HLNGH, in agreement with MOL in accordance with the shareholders agreements that govern SRV Joint Gas and SRV Joint Gas Two, shall control all aspects of the defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against any Indemnitee that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided , however , that no such settlement will be entered into without the consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) of the Partnership and the Operating Company unless it includes a full release of the Partnership Group from such matter or issues, as the case may be. In connection with HLNGH’s control of the defense, HLNGH shall keep the Partnership and the Operating Company updated from time to time as to the status of, and developments in, Proceedings related to any claims brought against the Partnership Group that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this Agreement.

(c)                The Partnership and the Operating Company agree to cooperate fully with HLNGH with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the prompt furnishing to HLNGH of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Partnership Group may receive, permitting the names of the members of the Partnership Group to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to HLNGH of any files, records or other information of the Partnership Group that HLNGH considers relevant to such defense and the making available to HLNGH of any employees of the Partnership Group; provided , however , that in connection therewith HLNGH agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Partnership Group and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information furnished by a Partnership Group Member pursuant to this Section 3(c) .

HLNGH agrees to keep any such counsel hired by the Partnership Group reasonably informed as to the status of any such defense (including providing such counsel with such information related to any such defense as such counsel may reasonably request), but HLNGH will have the right to retain sole control over such defense.

(d)                In determining the amount of any Losses for which any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Partnership Group, and such correlative insurance benefit will be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the Partnership Group as a result of such claim, (ii) all amounts recovered by the Partnership Group under contractual indemnities from third Persons, if any and (iii) all amounts paid by Höegh LNG Ltd. under the Deed of Guarantees, if any, to the extent any such amounts reduce the Losses to the Partnership and the Operating Company.
