The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such claim or action, at its sole cost and expense, with counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party: provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
