Each party entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt notice to the party (the "Indemnifying Party") required to provide indemnification under this Agreement after such Indemnified Party has received actual knowledge of any third-party claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at Indemnifying Party's expense) to assume
