Notice to Indemnifying Party. If any Party (the "Indemnified Party") receives notice of any claim or other commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 8, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof which notice shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom. Such notice shall be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third Party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless suit shall have been instituted against it and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit after notification thereof as provided in Section ‎8.3.

The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that if there exists a conflict of interests between the Indemnifying Party (or any constituent Party thereof) and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party (or such constituent Party thereof) shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable to pay for the costs and expenses of more than one such separate counsel.  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, with its counsel and at its own expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Party shall in all cases be entitled to control the defense of any such action if it (i) may result in injunctions or other equitable remedies in respect of the Party or its business; or (ii) may have an adverse impact on the Party's business or its financial condition even if the other Party pays all indemnification amounts in full.
