(i) Claims by Non-Parties. The indemnified party shall give written notice within a reasonably prompt period of time to the indemnifying party of any written claim by a third party which is likely to give rise to a claim by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party based on the indemnity agreements contained in this Section, stating the nature of said claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. The indemnified party shall give notice to the indemnifying party that pursuant to the indemnity, the indemnified party is asserting against the indemnifying party a claim with respect to a potential loss from the third party claim, and such notice shall constitute the assertion of a claim for indemnity by the indemnified party. If, within thirty (30) days after receiving such notice, the indemnifying party advises the indemnified party that it will provide indemnification and assume the defense at its expense, then so long as such defense is being conducted, the indemnified party shall not settle or admit liability with respect to the claim and shall afford to the indemnifying party and defending counsel reasonable assistance in defending against the claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, counsel shall be selected by such party and if the indemnified party then retains its own counsel, it shall do so at its own expense. If the indemnified party does not receive a written objection to the notice from the indemnifying party within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying party’s receipt of such notice, the claim for indemnity shall be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved, and in such case the indemnified party may control the defense of the matter or case and, at its sole discretion, settle or admit liability. If within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period the indemnified party shall have received written objection to a claim (which written objection shall briefly describe the basis of the objection to the claim or the amount thereof, all in good faith), then for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such objection the parties shall attempt to settle the dispute as between the indemnified and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the dispute, the unresolved issue or issues shall be settled by arbitration in New York, New York in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association.
 
 
 

 
 
(ii) Claims by a Party. The determination of a claim asserted by a party hereunder (other than as set forth in section (a) above) pursuant to this Section shall be made as follows: The indemnified party shall give written notice within a reasonably prompt period of time to the indemnifying party of any claim by the indemnified party which has not been made pursuant to subsection (a) above, stating the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. The claim shall be deemed to have resulted in a determination in favor of the indemnified party and to have resulted in a liability of the indemnifying party in an amount equal to the amount of such claim estimated pursuant to this paragraph if within forty-five (45) days after the indemnifying party’s receipt of the claim the indemnified party shall not have received written objection to the claim. In such event, the claim shall be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved. If within the aforesaid forty-five (45) day period the indemnified party shall have received written objection to a claim (which written objection shall briefly describe the basis of the objection to the claim or the amount thereof, all in good faith), then for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such objection the parties shall attempt to settle the disputed claim as between the indemnified and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the disputed claim, the unresolved issue or issues shall be settled by arbitration in New York, New York in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association and New York law will govern without reference to its choice of law provision.
