If AMD fails to assume the defense of such Claim within 30 days of receipt of notice of such Claim, or if at any time AMD shall fail to defend in good faith any such Claim, IEC may assume the defense thereof and may employ counsel with respect thereto and all fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by AMD, and IEC may conduct and defend such Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate. Any amounts owed to AMD pursuant to this Section 9C shall be reimbursed to AMD within five (5) business days after notice by AMD.
