7. Section 7.3 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
7.3 Indemnification Procedure.
(a) | If any action is brought against a party entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1 or 7.2, as applicable, (each, an Indemnified Party), such Indemnified Party or Parties shall promptly notify the party obligated to provide indemnification (an Indemnifying Party) in writing of the institution of such action. |
(b) | Promptly upon receipt of notice pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly assume the defense of such action, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party or Parties, and payment of expenses. An Indemnified Party or Parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties, unless: |
(i) | the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such action; or |
(ii) | the named parties to such action include both the Indemnified Party or Parties and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party or Parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it or them or to other Indemnified Parties which are different from, or in addition to, those available to the Indemnifying Party. |
In either of the foregoing events, such fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party or Parties.

In the event such an unconditional release is not obtainable for each Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party must obtain the prior written consent of any Indemnified Party not so released before the Indemnifying Party may enter into such settlement, compromise, consent or termination.
