|

6 |
4.4 Procedure for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent the defense of such action by the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby. In case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonable satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such section for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation, If an indemnifying party assume the defense of such an action: (a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonable withheld) unless: (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person which is not fully remedied by the payment referred to in clause; (ii) no adverse effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party; and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; (b) the indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be reasonably withheld); and (c) the indemnified party will reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of such action. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any action and it does not, within fifteen days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be bound by any determination made in such action or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determined in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an action may materially and adversely affect it or its affiliated other than as a result of monetary damages, such indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such action, but the indemnifying party shall not be bound by any determination of an action so defended or any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
ARTICLE V
