    If the indemnified party receives written notice of the commencement of any legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to which the indemnifying party is or may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section, the indemnified party shall, within 30 days of the receipt of such written notice, give the indemnifying party written notice thereof (a "Claim Notice").

The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own

counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless the indemnifying party shall not have with reasonable promptness employed counsel to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, in which event such fees and expenses shall be borne solely by the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not satisfy or settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be delayed or which shall not be required if the indemnified party is granted a release in connection therewith. If the indemnifying party shall fail with reasonable promptness to defend such Third Party Claim, the indemnified party may defend, satisfy or settle the Third Party Claim at the expense of the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall pay to the indemnified party the amount of such Loss within ten days after written demand thereof. The indemnification provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
