Procedure for Indemnification - Third Party Claims.
 
(a)    Upon receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding by a third party that is not an affiliate or a member of Indemnitee’s Group (a “Third Party Claim”) against it or a written threat, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim is to be made against an Indemnitor under this Section 8, give notice to the Indemnitor of the commencement of such Third Party Claim as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the Indemnitee shall have been served or received such written threat, but the failure to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any Liability that it may have to any Indemnitee, except to the extent that the Indemnitor demonstrates that the defense of such Third Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to give such notice.
 
(b)    If a Third Party Claim is brought or threatened against an Indemnitee and it gives proper notice to the Indemnitor of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will be entitled to control the defense and settlement of such Third Party Claim (unless the Indemnitor fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim and provide indemnification in accordance with this Section 7 with respect to such Third Party Claim) and, to the extent that it elects to assume the control of the defense and settlement of such Third Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnitee (who shall not unreasonably withhold or delay confirmation that it is satisfied with such counsel) and provides notice to the Indemnitor of its election to assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not, as long as it legitimately conducts such defense or settlement, be liable to the Indemnitee under this Section 8 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation.
 
14

 
If the Indemnitor assumes control of the defense and settlement of a Third Party Claim, (i) it shall be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in such Third Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise, discharge or settlement of, or admission of Liability in connection with, any claims and binding on the Indemnitee may be effected by the Indemnitor without the Indemnified Party’s written consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee, and (B) the sole relief or settlement provided is monetary damages or payments that are paid in full by the Indemnitor, (iii) the Indemnitee shall have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its written consent, and (iv) the Indemnitee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnitor in connection with such defense, and shall have the right to participate, at the Indemnitee’s sole expense, in such defense and settlement, with counsel selected by it. If proper notice is given to an Indemnitor of the commencement of any Third Party Claim and the Indemnitor does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnitee’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnitee of its election to assume control of the defense and settlement of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall be bound by any determination made in such Third Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnitee, provided that the Indemnitor acts reasonably and in good faith. The Indemnitee must mitigate damages and liability with respect to Third Party Claims. The Indemnitor does not guarantee settlement and has no obligation to settle.
