Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Service Provider is not liable for and has no obligation to indemnify any Client Indemnified Party for any Losses to the extent such Losses are due to the violation of Applicable Law, fraud, negligent act or omission, or willful misconduct of such Client Indemnified Party, and (ii) Client is not liable for and has no obligation to indemnify any Service Provider Indemnified Party for any Losses to the extent such Losses are due to the violation of any Applicable Law, fraud, negligent act or omission, or willful misconduct of such Service Provider Indemnified Party.

10.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice of Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by the Client Indemnified Party or Service Provider Indemnified Party (the "Indemnified Party") of any claim or notice of the commencement of any action, administrative, or legal proceeding or investigation as to which an indemnity provided for in this Agreement may apply or promptly after an Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of other loss, liability, or damage that would result in a claim for indemnification, the Indemnified Party must (or if a Party, shall) notify the Party from which indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party"), in writing of such fact, including a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances relating to such claim, notice, loss, liability, or damage, and a complete copy of all notices, pleadings, and other papers related thereto. The delay or failure of the Indemnified Party to give the notice required pursuant to this Section 10.4(a) will not reduce or relieve the Indemnifying Party of liability hereunder except to the extent that such failure has a material adverse effect on the defense of the matter. In any event, the failure to so notify does not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may otherwise have to the Indemnified Party other than under this Agreement.

(b) Conduct of Proceedings. The Indemnifying Party is entitled, at its option and expense, to assume and control the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding against the Indemnified Party, irrespective of whether the Indemnifying Party is joined therein, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in such defense. The Indemnifying Party has the right to control the defense and settlement of such claim, except that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, agree to any compromise or settlement that (w) is not an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from any and all liabilities, (x) includes remedies other than the payment of money that will be paid by the Indemnifying Party, (y) requires that the Indemnified Party admit fault or liability in connection with such settlement, or (z) relates to a violation of Applicable Law. Without relieving the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder or impairing the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense or settlement thereof, the Indemnified Party may elect to participate through separate counsel in the defense of any such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be the responsibility of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has not employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement thereof or is not pursuing the defense of such claim with reasonable diligence and in good faith; (ii) in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnifying Party's and Indemnified Party's external counsel, such action, suit, or proceeding involves the potential imposition of criminal liability upon the Indemnified Party or an actual, material conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party; or (iii) in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnifying Party's and Indemnified Party's external counsel, there may be specific defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. In each case of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), the Indemnifying Party does not have the right to control the defense or settlement of such claim, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel engaged by the Indemnified Party are the responsibility of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Net of Insurance. The amount of any indemnity payment made under this Agreement will be reduced by the amount of all insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Party in respect of the event giving rise to the right of indemnity.
