The appeal from the intermediate order must be dismissed because the right of direct appeal therefrom terminated with the entry of judgment in the action ( see, Matter of Aho, 39 N.Y.2d 241, 248). The issues raised on appeal from the order are brought up for review and have been considered on the appeal from the judgment ( see, CPLR 5501 [a] [1]).
Contrary to the defendant's contention, he was obligated under the terms of the indemnification contract to indemnify the plaintiff for the amount it paid to settle a claim asserted against it by a third party. "When an indemnitor has notice of the claim against it, the general rule is that the indemnitor will be bound by any reasonable good faith settlement the indemnitee might thereafter make" ( Coleman v. J.R.'s Tavern, 212 A.D.2d 568; see also, Gray Mfg. Co. v. Pathe Indus., 33 A.D.2d 739, affd 26 N.Y.2d 1045). In the instant case there was ample evidence in the record that the defendant received such notice, that the plaintiff made a reasonable settlement in good faith, and that the plaintiff could have been held liable if it had proceeded to trial ( see, Coleman v. J.R.'s Tavern, supra, at 569; Horn Constr Co. v. MT Sec. Serv. Corp., 111 A.D.2d 220). Therefore, the defendant was obligated to indemnify the plaintiff for the settlement amount.
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
