9. Notice By COAC Indemnitee. COAC shall promptly notify Client in writing upon being served with or otherwise receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to so notify Client shall not relieve Client of any obligation which it may have to any COAC Indemnitee under this Indemnification Supplement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay is found to have materially prejudiced Client.
