Upon written request by the Indemnified Person in connection with a Third Person Proceeding, the Indemnifying Person shall promptly advance all Litigation Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to the extent authorized under Section 11.3. The request shall contain a reasonably detailed description of the Litigation Expenses or, if available to the Indemnified Person, documentation evidencing the amount of the Litigation Expenses. The Indemnified Person's right to advancement of Litigation Expenses shall be conditioned upon its agreement to repay amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified for those Litigation Expenses under this Section 11. 36 11.5 Remedies of the Indemnified Person. In the event that (a) advances of Litigation Expenses pursuant to Section 11.4 are not timely made, (b) payment of Liabilities or Litigation Expenses are not timely made after a determination of entitlement to indemnification hereunder or (c) the Indemnified Person otherwise seeks to enforce its rights under this Section 11, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to a final adjudication of its rights hereunder in any court of competent jurisdiction in the venue specified in Section 13.1 (an "Adjudication").
