12.3 Conditions of Indemnification. Each party’s indemnity obligations set out in Article 12 (Indemnity) are conditional on the party seeking indemnification: (i) promptly notifying the indemnifying party of the Claim in writing, although failure to promptly notify will only relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligation to the extent that the delay prejudices the indemnifying party’s defense of the Claim; (ii) granting the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim, although the indemnified party may participate in the defense with counsel of its choice at its own expense; and (iii) providing reasonable cooperation and assistance in the defense and negotiation of the Claim. The indemnifying party may not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any such commenced or threatened Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or consent: (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such commenced or threatened Claim, and (ii) is solely monetary in nature and does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of, the indemnified party.

If any section of this Agreement, in whole or in part, is or becomes illegal, invalid, void, voidable or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by any court of competent jurisdiction, the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of that section, in whole or in part, will not affect: (i) the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining sections of this Agreement, in whole or in part; (ii) the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining part of that section, if applicable; or (iii) the legality, validity or enforceability of that section, in whole or in part, in any other jurisdiction.
