satisfactory to the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in such defense. If any Claim involves Claims with respect to which Buyer indemnifies Seller and also Claims for which Seller indemnifies Buyer,
each party shall have the right to assume the defense of and hire counsel for that portion of the Claim for which it may have liability. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any Claim and to participate in the
defense thereof, provided the fees and expenses of counsel employed by an indemnified party shall be at the expense of the indemnified party, unless otherwise agreed between the parties. 


 

	 	8.7.2	Settlement. If the indemnifying party does not notify the indemnified party within the earlier to occur of: (a) the time that a response is due in any
litigation matter, or (b) one (I) calendar month after receipt of the Claim Notice, that the indemnifying party elects to undertake the defense thereof, the indemnified party has the right to defend, at the expense of the indemnifying
party, the Claim with counsel of its own choosing, subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume the defense of any Claim at any time prior to settlement or final determination thereof. In such event, the indemnified party shall send a
written notice to the indemnifying party of any proposed settlement of any Claim, which settlement the indemnifying party may accept or reject, in its reasonable judgment, within thirty (30) Days of receipt of such notice, unless the settlement
offer is limited to a shorter period of time in which case the indemnifying party shall have such shorter period of time in which to accept or reject the proposed settlement. Failure of the indemnifying party to accept or reject such settlement
within the applicable time period shall be deemed to be its rejection of such settlement. The indemnified party may settle any matter over the objection of the indemnifying party but shall in so doing be deemed to have waived any right to indemnity
therefor as to (and only as to) liabilities with respect to which the indemnifying party has recognized its liability.
