Section 9.4 Matters Involving Third Parties.
 
Section 9.4.1 If any third party notifies any Party (the "Indemnified Party") with respect to any matter (a "Third-Party Claim") that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this §9.4, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby prejudiced.
 
 
 

 

Section 9.4.2 Any Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice [reasonably] satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (A) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 15 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any adverse consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim, (B) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (C) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (D) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party, and (E) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently.
 
Section 9.4.3 So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with §9.4.2 above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld)] and (C) the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third­ Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld).
 
Section 9.4.4 In the event any of the conditions in §9.4.2 above is or becomes unsatisfied, however, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (B) the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable]attomeys' fees and expenses), and (C) the Indemnifying Parties shall remain responsible for any adverse consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article IX.
