After such notice, if the indemnifying party shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such Third Party Claim, then the indemnifying party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim and to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, such attorneys to be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, at the indemnifying party's cost, risk and expense (unless (i) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or (ii) the named parties to such Third Party Claim include both of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and the indemnified party and its counsel determine in good faith that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and that joint representation would be inappropriate), and to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

The indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any Third Party Claim effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.2 and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. -15- Regardless of whether the indemnified party participates in the defense, the indemnifying party will pay reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement for any Third Party Claim under this Section 6.2.
