(c) The obligations of this Section 9 are conditioned upon the indemnifying party receiving prompt written notice of any claim and reasonable cooperation to its sole control of the defense and any settlement thereof; provided that the indemnifying party shall not make any settlement admitting the other’s liability without its consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

(d)   With regard to Trade Secrets, the obligations in this Section 9 shall continue for so long as such information continues to be a Trade Secret.  With regard to Confidential Information, the obligations in this Section 8 shall continue for the Term of this Agreement and for four (4) years thereafter.
