(i) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under this Article VII is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than UMS or Talk or any Affiliate of UMS or of Talk (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a claim notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give timely notice or to make timely delivery of any such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations with respect to such claim, suit or proceeding except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party as soon as reasonably practicable within the Dispute Period (i) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VII and (ii) whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.
(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Agreement, then the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with, with counsel of its choice that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be actively and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required if the settlement imposes only monetary obligations and includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from further Liability). The Indemnifying Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings to the extent they relate to the Third Party Claim, including (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) any settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in this Agreement, file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests; and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel to represent it in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party) at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may, by written notice to the Indemnifying Party, retain or take over the control of the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim the defense of which the Indemnifying Party has elected to control if the Indemnified Party irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under this Agreement and fully releases the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.
18 |
(ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with, at the reasonable cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be actively and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion in good faith or will be settled in good faith at the discretion of the Indemnified Party (with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) any settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such Dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party will reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such Actions. The Indemnifying Party may retain separate counsel to represent it in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.
(iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its Liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Loss of the Indemnified Party arising from such Third Party Claim will be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days following written demand by the Indemnified Party following the final determination thereof in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its Liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute (including by mediation or arbitration, if necessary) while simultaneously defending such Third Party Claim.
(ii) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give timely notice or to make timely delivery of any such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations with respect to such claim, suit or proceeding except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party as soon as reasonably practicable within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the Loss of the Indemnified Party arising from the claim specified in such Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days following written demand by the Indemnified Party following the final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its Liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute (including by mediation or arbitration, if necessary).
7.8 Other Limitations.
(i) Talk acknowledges and agrees that UMS or UMS Stockholders shall not have any Liability under any provision of this Agreement for any Loss to the extent that such Loss results directly from an action taken by Talk or any other Person (other than UMS in breach of this Agreement) after the Closing. The Parties shall take and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective Affiliates to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.
(ii) The Indemnified Parties, as a whole, shall not be entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement more than once with respect to the same Losses imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, the Indemnified Parties, as a whole (notwithstanding any such Loss being asserted or claimed with regard to various provisions of this Agreement).

Except in cases of Willful Breach or a Talk Securities Law Violation, the Parties acknowledge and agree that all representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein.
