The relevant indemnified party, as appropriate, shall promptly notify the indemnifying party and request the indemnifying party to defend the same.

Each party agrees to cooperate and to cause its employees and agents to cooperate with the other party in the defense of any such claim and the relevant records of each party shall be available to the other party with respect to any such defense, subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in this Article VIII.
