iv)If the Client assumes the defense of any such Proceeding, the Indemntiee shall cooperate fully with the Client and shall appear and give testimony, produce documents and other tangible evidence, and otherwise assist the Client in conducting such defense.

Provided that proper notice is duly given, if the Client shall fail promptly and diligently to assume the defense thereof, then the Indemnitee may respond to, contest and defend against such Proceeding and may make in good faith any compromise or settlement with respect thereto, and recover from the Client the entire cost and expense thereof including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and all amounts paid or foregone as a result of such Proceeding, or the settlement or compromise thereof. The indemnification required hereunder shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills or invoices are received or loss, liability, obligation, damage or expense is actually suffered or incurred.
