So long as Buyer is defending in good faith any such claims or demands asserted by a third Person against the Seller Indemnitee, the Seller Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise such claim or demand. If Buyer has assumed the defense of any such claim or demand, then it shall not consent to the entry of judgment or enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the Seller Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

These payments shall exclude any cash fees or charges that are directly imposed by the lender or at the lender’s direction for the benefit of the Client.

MERGERS ACQUISITIONS, LICENSES, JOINT VENTURES, AND DISTRIBUTION
AGREEMENTS:
