The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifier in the defense of any such claim and shall have the right to participate in the defense at its own expense. The Indemnifier shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
