In addition, without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying Party will be permitted to consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement

which provides for any action on the part of the Indemnified Party other than the payment of money damages which are to be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party fails or elects not to assume the defense of a claim pursuant to clause (y) above, or is not entitled to assume or continue the defense of such claim pursuant to clause (z) above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder to, in its discretion exercised in good faith and upon advice of counsel, to contest, defend and litigate such claim and may settle such claim, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnified Party deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least ten (10) days prior to any settlement, written notice of its intention to settle is given to the Indemnifying Party.
