The duty to defend applies immediately upon notice of a claim, regardless of whether the issues of negligence, liability, fault, default or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee have been determined. The duty to defend applies immediately, regardless of whether the Indemnitee has paid any amounts or incurred any detriment arising out of or relating (directly or indirectly) to any claims. It is the express intention of the Parties that an Indemnitee be entitled to obtain summary adjudication or summary judgment regarding an Indemnitor's duty to defend the Indemnitee, at any stage of any claim or suit, within the scope of the Indemnitor's indemnity obligations under this Agreement. 8.7 Indemnification Procedures. Wherever this Agreement requires any Indemnitor to Indemnify any Indemnitee: 8.7.1 Prompt Notice. The Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnitor of any claim. To the extent, and only to the extent, that the Indemnitee fails to give prompt Notice of a Claim and such failure materially prejudices the Indemnitor in providing indemnity for such claim,the Indemnitor shall be relieved of its indemnity obligations for such claim. 8.7.2 Selection of Counsel. The Indemnitor shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. Counsel to Indemnitor's insurance carrier that is providing coverage for a claim shall be deemed reasonably satisfactory. Even though the Indemnitor shall defend the action, Indemnitee may, at its option and its own expense, engage separate counsel to advise it regarding the claim and its defense. The Indemnitee's separate counsel may attend all proceedings and meetings. The Indemnitor's counsel shall actively consult with the Indemnitee's separate counsel. The Indemnitor and its counsel shall, however, fully control the defense, except to the extent that the Indemnitee waives its rights to indemnity and defense for such claim. 9.
