The Responding Party shall notify the Claiming Party as soon as practicable whether the Responding Party desires to defend the Claiming Party against such Third-Party Claim.

The Claiming Party may elect to participate in such proceedings, negotiations or defense at any time at its own expense; provided, however, that the Responding Party shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Claiming Party if (x) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Responding Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim or (y) the Claiming Party’s counsel shall have advised the Claiming Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Responding Party, that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct for the Responding Party and the Claiming Party to have common counsel.

(d) Until the Responding Party notifies the Claiming Party that the Responding Party desires to defend the Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 6.5(b), the Claiming Party shall (upon reasonable prior notice to the Responding Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Responding Party shall reimburse the Claiming Party for the costs of defending against such Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and shall remain otherwise responsible for any liability with respect to amounts arising from or related to such Third-Party Claim, in both cases to the extent it is ultimately determined that such Responding Party is liable with respect to such Third-Party Claim for a breach under this Agreement.
