The Indemnification Notice must be provided by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party with ten (10) days after receipt of the Third Party Claims Notice or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to such Third Party Claim (the “Indemnification Notice Period”) .

 

13.2.2.2. If the Indemnifying Party provides an Indemnification Notice to the Indemnified Party within the Indemnification Notice Period that it assumes responsibility for the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall conduct at its expense the defense against such Third Party Claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnification Notice shall specify the counsel it will appoint to defend such claim (“Defense Counsel”); provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the Defense Counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to give the Indemnification Notice within the Indemnification Notice Period, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense and to compromise and settle such Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all costs, expenses, settlement amounts or other Losses paid or incurred in connection therewith.

 

13.2.2.3 . In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim for indemnification against it, such Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party to such effect within ten (10) days after receipt of the Third Party Claims Notice (or within such shorter time as may be necessary to give the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to respond to such Third Party Claim) by delivering written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party. In such event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct the defense and to compromise and settle such Third Party Claim, without the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party. Once such dispute has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction or by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall within ten (10) days of the date of such resolution or agreement, pay to the Indemnified Party all Losses paid or incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.

 

 
22
 

 

13.2.2.4. In the event that the Indemnifying Party delivers an Indemnification Notice pursuant to which it elects to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have the exclusive control over the defense of the Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party will cooperate in good faith with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as it may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing. The Indemnifying Party will not settle the Third Party Claim or cease to defend against any Third Party Claim as to which it has delivered an Indemnification Notice (as to which it has assumed responsibility for the Third Party Claim), without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, such consent may be withheld for any reason if, as a result of such settlement or cessation of defense, (i) injunctive relief or specific performance would be imposed against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) such settlement or cessation would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

13.2.2.5. If an Indemnified Party refuses to consent to a bona fide offer of settlement which the Indemnifying Party wishes to accept, which provides for a full release of the Indemnified Party and its affiliates relating to the Third Party Claims underlying the offer of settlement and solely for a monetary payment, the Indemnified Party may continue to pursue such matter, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, at the sole expense of the Indemnified Party. In such an event, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall be limited to the amount of the offer of settlement which the Indemnified Party refused to accept plus the reasonable costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party notified the Indemnified Party of the offer of settlement.

 

13.2.2.6. Notwithstanding the above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) to the extent such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (y) the entire Third Party Claim (i) if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party in an amount which is greater than the amount as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or (ii) that if unsuccessful, would set a precedent that would have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial condition of the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnified Party retains control of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

13.2.3. A failure by an Indemnified Party to give timely, complete or accurate notice as provided in this Section will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise directly and materially damaged as a result of such failure to give timely notice.

13.3. Limitations On and Other Matters Regarding Indemnification.
