Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, and (y)&nbsp;does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability
or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of
counsel as contemplated by this Section&nbsp;9(c), the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i)&nbsp;such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after
