of 15 days from the date of issue of the claim, the Aggrieved
Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such
manner as it may deem appropriate and, unless the Indemnifying
Party shall deposit with the Aggrieved Party a sum equivalent
to the total amount demanded in such claim or litigation
within a period of 15 days from the date of issue of the
claim, or shall deliver to the Aggrieved Party a surety bond
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Aggrieved
Party, the Aggrieved Party may settle such claim or litigation
on such terms as it may deem appropriate, and the Indemnifying
Party shall promptly reimburse the Aggrieved Party for the
amount of all reasonable expenses, legal or otherwise,
incurred by the Aggrieved Party in connection with the defence
against or settlement of such claims or litigation. If no
settlement of such claim or litigation is made, the
