If an Indemnified Person or Developer receives notice of any claim or circumstance which could give rise to an indemnified loss, the receiving party shall give written notice to the other party within 30 days. The notice must include a description of the indemnification event in reasonable detail, the basis on which indemnification may be due, and the anticipated amount of the indemnified loss. This notice shall not estop or prevent an Indemnified Person from later asserting a different basis for indemnification or a different amount of indemnified loss than that indicated in the initial notice. If an Indemnified Person does not provide this notice within the 30-day period, it does not waive any right to indemnification except to the extent that Developer is prejudiced, suffers loss, or incurs expense because of the delay. For those matters for which the Developer has the obligation to defend an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 7.2, Developer shall assume the defense of the claim at its own expense with counsel chosen by it that is on the approved list established by the Texas Municipal League or that is otherwise approved by the City. Within ten (10) days after receiving written notice of the indemnification request, Developer shall advise the Indemnified Person as to the chosen counsel. If Developer does not properly notify the Indemnified Persons as required above, the Indemnified Person shall assume and control the defense, and all defense expenses actually incurred by it shall constitute an indemnified loss, which must be paid by the Developer within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from an Indemnified Person. Such indemnified loss shall bear interest at the rate, but not the time, established in Section 6.1 (F) from the due date noted in the invoice until the date of payment. Should the Developer fail to timely pay such amount, the Authority may, in its sole discretion, withhold the amount due, including accrued interest, from future Contract Progress Payments. If Developer defends a claim against any Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person may retain separate counsel at the sole cost and expense of such Indemnified Person to participate in (but not control) the defense and to participate in (but not control) any settlement negotiations. Developer may not settle the claim without the consent or agreement of the Indemnified Person, unless such settlement is at no cost to the Indemnified Person and no judgment is entered against any Indemnified Person. DEVELOPER RELEASES EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON FROM ALL LIABILITY FOR INJURY, DEATH, DAMAGE, OR LOSS TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY SUSTAINED IN CONNECTION WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF THE INJURY, DEATH, PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR STRICT STATUTORY LIABILITY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THIS RELEASE SHALL HAVE NO APPLICATION TO AN AGREEMENT. FROM AND AFTER THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, DEVELOPER SHALL REQUIRE ALL CONTRACTORS ENGAGED BY IT TO CONSTRUCT PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS (AND THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS) TO RELEASE AND INDEMNIFY THE INDEMNIFIED PERSONS TO THE SAME EXTENT AND IN THE 15 011782.0153271 EMF_US 84032577v3
