10




Notice”).  Failure to give such Claim Notice within such 30 day period shall not constitute a waiver by the indemnified party or its rights to indemnity hereunder with respect to such action, suit or proceeding unless the defense thereof is prejudiced thereby.  Upon receipt by the indemnifying party of a Claim Notice from the indemnified party with respect to any claim for indemnification which is based upon a claim made by a third party (“Third Party Claim”), the indemnifying party may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing, as described below.  The indemnified party shall cooperate in the defense of the Third Party Claim and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend all such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably required in connection therewith.  The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless the indemnifying party shall not have with reasonable promptness employed counsel to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, in which event such fees and expenses shall be borne solely by the indemnifying party.  The indemnifying party shall not satisfy or settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be delayed or which shall not be required if the indemnified party is granted a release in connection therewith.  If the indemnifying party shall fail with reasonable promptness to defend such Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may defend, satisfy or settle the Third Party Claim at the expense of the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall pay to the indemnified party the amount of such Loss within ten days after written demand thereof.  The indemnification provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  No indemnification to the other party shall become due until there is an agreed settlement or a final judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction.
