10.3 Procedure. In case any claim, action, suit or proceeding is at any time brought against a Party or its Affiliates (or any of their respective employees, officers, directors or representatives) (an “Indemnified Party”) and such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2, the party obligated to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) will defend such claim, action, suit or proceeding, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Party, using counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party but subject to the Indemnified Party’s reasonable approval. If the Indemnifying Party fails to take timely action to defend such a Claim or proceeding after having received written notice from the Indemnified Party of such failure, the Indemnified Party may defend such a Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party fully advised with respect to such Claims and the progress of any suits, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, in any suit instituted against it and to select attorneys to defend it, which attorneys will be independent of any attorneys chosen by the Indemnifying Party relating to such claim or related claim. The Indemnifying Party will not settle, compromise or otherwise enter into any agreement regarding the disposition of any claim against the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent and approval of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or disposition provides for a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party. The obligations of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 10 shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

-26-


14.3 Confidentiality.

 

(a) Each Party will protect the Confidential Information of the other Party from misappropriation and unauthorized use or disclosure, and at a minimum, will take precautions at least as great as those taken to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature. Without limiting the foregoing, the receiving Party will: (i) use such Confidential Information solely for the purposes for which it has been disclosed; and (ii) disclose such Confidential Information only to those of its employees, agents, consultants, and others who have a need to know the same for the purpose of performing this Agreement and who are informed of and agree to a duty of nondisclosure.

14.8 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise,


without the other Party’s prior written consent, except to (a) a wholly-owned subsidiary of such Party,; provided that such Party shall require, as a condition to such assignment, any assignee or successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets to assure and agree in writing to perform this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that such Party would be required to perform or would be bound if no assignment or succession had taken place. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding on and enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

14.9 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by the Parties, provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement shall be in writing and signed by the Parties.

14.11 Counterparts and Transmitted Copies. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed an original, but all of which taken together will constitute but one and the same instrument, and it will not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one original counterpart hereof.

No breach of this Agreement by either Party will affect the rights or obligations of either Party under any other agreement between the Parties.

 

14.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is construed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions hereof will not be affected thereby and will be enforceable without regard thereto.
