Procedure. Every time the Corporation delivers to the TRA Party Representative a Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to [Section 2.3(b)], and any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporation shall also deliver schedules, valuation reports, if any, and work papers, as determined by the Corporation or reasonably requested by the TRA Party Representative, providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Schedule, and allow the TRA Party Representative reasonable access at no cost to the appropriate representatives of the Corporation, as determined by the Corporation or requested by the TRA Party Representative, in connection with the review of such Schedule. Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, each time the Corporation delivers to the TRA Party Representative a Tax Benefit Schedule, in addition to the Tax Benefit Schedule duly completed, the Corporation shall also deliver to the TRA Party Representative a reasonably detailed calculation of the applicable Hypothetical Tax Liability, a reasonably detailed calculation of the applicable Actual Tax Liability, as well as any other work papers considered relevant by the Corporation or requested by the TRA Party Representative, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to provide any information that it reasonably believes is unnecessary for purposes of determining the items in the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto. Subject to [Section 2.3(b)], an applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall become final and binding on all parties thirty (30) calendar days after the first date on which the TRA Party Representative has received the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless # the TRA Party Representative provides the Corporation before such date with notice of a material objection to such Schedule (“Objection Notice”) made in good faith or # the TRA Party Representative provides a written waiver of such right of any Objection Notice before such date (in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date such waiver has been received by the Corporation). If the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative, for any reason, are unable to successfully resolve the issues raised in an Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of an Objection Notice, then the Corporation and the TRA Party Representative shall employ the reconciliation procedures described in [Section 7.8] of this Agreement (the “Reconciliation Procedures”).

Procedure. The indemnities set forth in this Article XIII are subject to the condition that the Party seeking indemnity shall forthwith notify the other Party on being notified or otherwise made aware of a suit, action or claim and that the indemnifying Party defend and control any proceedings, with the other Party being permitted to participate at its own expense (unless there shall be a conflict of interest which would prevent representation by joint counsel, in which event the indemnifying Party shall pay for the other Party’s counsel); provided that the indemnifying Party may not settle the suit or otherwise consent to any judgment in such suit without the written consent of the indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party claim. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnity provisions of Section 13.1 shall comprise the Parties’ sole remedy relating solely to the items for which indemnity is described and provided in Sections 13.1(a) and (b) above.

Procedure. Any indemnification and advances provided for in Paragraph 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 shall be made no later than twenty (20) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Corporation's Code of Regulations or Articles of Incorporation providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after a written request for payment thereof has been first received by the Corporation, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Indemnitee also shall be entitled to be paid for the Expenses of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive advance payments of expenses pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. It is the parties' intention that if the Corporation contests Indemnitee's right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall be for the court to decide. There shall exist in such action a rebuttable presumption that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard(s) of conduct and is therefore entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct as may be required by applicable law, nor any actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall # constitute a defense to such action, # create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct, or # otherwise alter the presumption in favor of Indemnitee referred to in the preceding sentence.

Procedure. The Company’s Board of Directors may appoint a Committee to administer the Plan. The Committee shall consist of not less than two members of the Board of Directors who shall administer the Plan on behalf of the Board of Directors, subject to such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may prescribe. Once appointed, the Committee shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by the Board of Directors. From time to time the Board of Directors may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause), and appoint new members in substitution therefore, fill vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan.
