If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that, if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may hire its own separate counsel (provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party) with respect to such Third Party Claim and the related action or suit, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Purchase and Sale Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party and, except in the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party in the defense of a Third Party Claim (which shall all be considered Losses for purposes of this Purchase and Sale Agreement) for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim).
(c)Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim, with such cooperation to include (i) the retention of and the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and (ii) the making available of employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of the liability (if any) in connection with such Third Party Claim and which does not involve any non-monetary penalties and releases the Indemnified Party completely and unconditionally in connection with such Third Party Claim. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to be indemnified or held harmless pursuant to this Article VII if the Indemnified Party shall settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Section 7.4Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Other Claims. In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification under this Article VII in respect of Losses that do not arise out of or involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party promptly in writing (including in such notice a brief description of the claim for indemnification and the Loss, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known or reasonably capable of estimation by the Indemnified Party); provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide such notice of a Loss shall not affect the indemnification provided under this Article VII except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
