  (d)

Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, in writing, of any notice of the assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any third party of any legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, or if the Indemnified Party determines the assertion of any such claim or the commencement by any third party of any such legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action is reasonably likely, whether or not the same shall have been asserted or initiated, in any case with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification (an “Indemnifiable Claim”) specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, and if known, the amount, or an estimate of the amount, of the Losses, provided, that failure to promptly give such notice shall only limit the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the extent of the actual prejudice, if any, suffered by such Indemnifying Party as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable thereafter information and documentation reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to defend against the Indemnifiable Claim.

 

  (e)

The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) days after receipt of any notification of an Indemnifiable Claim (a “Claim Notice”) to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, and its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith if such cooperation is so requested and the request is reasonable. If the Indemnifying Party assumes responsibility for the settlement or defense of any such claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party; provided that the fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall not be borne by the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may, upon prior written notice to and consultation with, the Indemnified Party, compromise or enter into a settlement agreement that involves solely the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party, if such settlement includes a complete, unconditional, irrevocable release of the Indemnified Party; provided however, if the Indemnifying Party requests the Indemnified Party to accept a financial settlement or financial compromise offered by the Person asserting the Indemnifiable Claim as the primary aspect of any such settlement with respect to any Indemnifiable Claim (assuming that no part of the settlement or compromise involves a material change in the Indemnified Party’s methods of doing business or otherwise materially restricts any of its respective future conduct or includes an admission of criminal culpability) and the Indemnified Party withholds it consent thereto, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party under this Section 16 with respect to such Indemnifiable Claim shall not thereafter exceed the aggregate amount that the Indemnifying Party would have paid hereunder in connection with such settlement or compromise (including reimbursable expenses to the date thereof).

 

  (f)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of any such Indemnifiable Claim if: (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim or acknowledge in writing that it will assume the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim within twenty (20) days of receipt of the applicable Claim Notice or thereafter fails to contest such Indemnifiable Claim; (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines (at any time while the Indemnifiable Claim is pending) based upon advice of counsel that there are issues which could raise possible conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or that the Indemnified Party has claims or defenses that are separate from or in addition to the claim or defenses of the Indemnifying Party; (iii) such Indemnifiable Claims seeks an injunction, cease and desist order, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that could reasonably be

 

22


  expected to materially adversely affect the ongoing business of the Indemnified Party, other than the Program; or (iv) such Indemnifiable Claim arises out of or is related to any investigation or proceeding of a Regulatory Authority having jurisdiction over the Indemnified Party. In each such case described in clauses (i) — (iv) above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim and retain its own counsel, which counsel is approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable cost of such defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of one law firm, and shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim, on a non-controlling basis, at its expense with counsel of its own choosing. In such event, the Indemnified Party may, upon the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied, compromise or enter into a settlement agreement that involves solely the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party, if such settlement includes a complete, unconditional, irrevocable release of the Indemnifying Party. No action taken by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) shall deprive the Indemnified Party of its rights to indemnification pursuant to this Section 16.

 

  (g)

After (i) any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a governmental authority and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired; (ii) a settlement shall have been consummated; or (iii) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to any matter for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification from the Indemnifying Party hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter and the Indemnifying Party shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer, certified or bank cashier’s check within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice; provided that in the event the Indemnifying Party does not make such payment by such date, the sums due and owing to the Indemnified Party shall include interest thereon, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate from the date (and applying the Prime Rate as of such date) on which the Indemnified Party delivered the applicable notice to the Indemnifying Party and to the date of payment.

 

  (h)

In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a third party Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the identity, nature and estimated amount of Losses related to such claim or claims, with reasonable promptness and in any event prior to the expiration of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such notice, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute for a period of at least thirty (30) days. If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party for the amount of the claim described in such notice and all or any part of such amount is subsequently determined in any settlement or final resolution to be owed to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly, upon such settlement or resolution, pay such amount, together with interest thereon, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate from the date (and applying the Prime Rate as of such date) on which the claim was finally settled or resolved to the date of payment.

34.

Agreement Subject to Applicable Law.
