to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provide d, however, that the City and Agency will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Official Statement or the Final Official Statement, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the City or Agency by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the City and Agency may otherwise have. (b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City and Agency, each of their respective officials, directors, officers and employees, and each person who controls the City and Agency within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the City and Agency to the Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the City and Agency by or on behalf of such Underwriter specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Official Statement or the Final Official Statement (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The City and Agency acknowledge that the statements set forth on the cover under the caption "Maturity Schedule" in the Preliminary Official Statement and the Final Official Statement, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Underwriters for inclusion in the Preliminary Official Statement or the Final Official Statement (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party tinder this Section 10, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provide d, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party.
