to undertake the defense thereof, and the Buyer shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of such defense as incurred and shall cooperate with the Seller (and be entitled to participate) in such defense and attempt to make available to it on a

money only and for which the Seller is totally indemnified by the Buyer, no Third-Party Claim may be settled without the written consent of the Seller.
