Procedure for Notification. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including a brief description (based upon information then available to Indemnitee) of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss. If, at the time of the receipt of such request, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect under which coverage for such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss is reasonably likely to be available, the Company shall give prompt written notice of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers, and copies of all subsequent correspondence between the Company and such insurers regarding the Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof by the Company. The failure by Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of such Indemnifiable Claim or Indemnifiable Loss and such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantial defenses, rights or insurance coverage.

Claims Procedures. As required under [Section 2560.503-1(b)(2)])] of the Department of Labor Regulations, the claims procedures are set forth in the Plan’s Summary Plan Description, which claims procedures are incorporated by reference into the Plan. A Participant or a beneficiary, or the authorized representative of either (the “claimant”), may not bring an action under ERISA [Section 502(a)] or otherwise with respect to his or her claim until he or she has exhausted the claims procedures. Any such action must be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction within 12 months after the date on which the claimant receives the Committee’s written denial of the claimant’s claim on appeal or, if earlier, 12 months after the date of the alleged facts or conduct giving rise to the claim (including, without limitation, the date the claimant alleges he or she became entitled to Plan benefits requested in the suit or legal action), or it shall be forever barred. Any further review, judicial or otherwise, of the Committee’s decision on the claimant’s claim shall be limited to whether, in the particular instance, the Committee abused its discretion. In no event shall such further review, judicial or otherwise, be on a de novo basis, as the Committee has discretionary authority to determine eligibility and benefits and to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan.

SURVIVING CLAIMS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Release shall not:

If a claim for benefits under the Plan is denied, in whole or in part, the Board will provide a written notice of the denial within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 90 days after the claim is received. If special circumstances require more time to process the claim, the Board will issue a written explanation of the special circumstances prior to the end of the 90 day period and a decision will be made as soon as possible, but not later than 180 days after the claim is received.

Infringement Claims. Except as set forth in Part (l) of the Disclosure Schedule, no infringement, misappropriation or similar claim or Proceeding is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller or any Seller Affiliate or, against any other Person who is or may be entitled to be indemnified, defended, held harmless or reimbursed by the Seller or any Seller Affiliate and no Contract binds the Seller or any Seller Affiliate to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Person with respect to any infringement, misappropriation or similar claim, in each case relating to the Business (other than indemnification provisions in the Seller’s or any Seller Affiliate’s standard forms of Contracts). Except as set forth in Part (l) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Seller has not received any written notice or other communication relating to any actual, alleged or suspected infringement, misappropriation or violation by the Seller or any of the Seller’s Representatives in conducting the Business, or in developing, manufacturing, promoting or selling any Product, of any Intellectual Property of another Person, including any letter or other communication suggesting or offering that the Seller obtain a license to any Intellectual Property of another Person.

Lien Claims. All parties furnishing labor and materials to (or any predecessor‑in‑title) or the Property have been paid in full. Except for such Liens expressly disclosed in, and insured against by the Title Insurance Policy, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

Disability Claims. If a claim is related to any distribution or rights to which a Participant or other Claimant may be entitled in connection with the Participant’s termination by reason of suffering a Disability (“Disability Claim”) then, as soon as reasonable but within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such claim, the Committee will send to the Claimant by certified mail, postage prepaid, notice of the granting or denying, in whole or in part of such claim. This period within which the Committee must provide such notice may be extended twice, for up to thirty (30) days per extension, provided that the Committee # determines that an extension is needed and beyond the control of the Plan, and # notifies the Claimant prior to the expiration of the initial forty-five (45) day period or of the first thirty (30) day extension period. In the case of any extension request, the notice of extension shall specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and the Claimant shall be afforded at least forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information. If the Committee fails to notify the Claimant either that his or her claim has been granted or that it has been denied in whole or in part within the initial forty-five (45) day period or prior to the expiration of an extension, if applicable, then the claim shall be deemed to have been denied as of the last day of the applicable period, and the Claimant then may request a review of his or her claim. The Committee must ensure that all Disability Claims and appeals are adjudicated in a manner designed to ensure the independence and impartiality of the persons involved in making the Disability determination.

Disability Claims. The Committee will provide to every Claimant whose Disability Claim is denied a notice written in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner, including information on how to access non-English language services provided by the Plan. The notice of the denial shall set forth the information contained in [Section 6.6(c)(i)] as well as set forth:

Claims Reviewer. The Committee will deliver to the claims reviewer all documents pertinent to the review. The claims reviewer will make a prompt decision on the review. The decision on review will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and will include specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof, and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents, or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
