Section # Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.

In General. At its option, the indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within […​…] after the indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the indemnifying Party which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Should the indemnifying Party assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, except as provided in Section 11.4.2, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim unless specifically requested in writing by the indemnifying Party. If it is ultimately determined that the indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the indemnifying Party for any and all Losses incurred by the indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim.

Party Claim must be delivered by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Claims Notice, and failure on the part of the Indemnifying Party to deliver such notice within such thirty (30) Business Day period shall be deemed an election not to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such Third Party Claim.

If the Indemnifying Party does not or does not have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section ‎6.5(b), the Indemnitee will have the right to control the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choosing (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) but shall not settle or compromise such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of any Third-Party Claim with separate counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the defense of any such Third-Party Claim and shall provide such personnel, technical support and

There exists no defense, claim, counterclaim or setoff whatsoever in favor of Borrower with respect to the obligations of Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or, to the extent any such defense, claim, counterclaim or setoff may exist, it is hereby waived and released.

Cooperation. The indemnified party and indemnifying party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such claim and furnishing, without expense to the indemnifying party, management employees of the indemnified employees as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of any such claim or for testimony as witness in any proceeding relating to such claim.

Filing a Claim. An Eligible Executive or his authorized representative may file a claim for benefits under the Plan. Any claim must be in writing and submitted to the Committee at the Company’s corporate headquarters office. Claimants will be notified in writing of approved claims, which will be processed as claimed. A claim is considered approved only if its approval is communicated in writing to a claimant.

Denial of Claim. In the case of the denial of a claim respecting benefits paid or payable with respect to an Eligible Executive, a written notice will be furnished to the claimant within 90 days of the date on which the claim is received by the Committee. If special circumstances (such as for a hearing) require a longer period, the claimant will be notified in writing, prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, of the reasons for an extension of time; provided, however, that no extensions will be permitted beyond 90 days after the expiration of the initial 90-day period.

Each Pari Passu Creditor agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Pari Passu Debt as reasonably requested by Agent in connection with any Proceeding provided that such proofs of claim acknowledge such Pari Passu Creditor’s rights with respect to its Pari Passu Debt and each Pari Passu Creditor hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of such Pari Passu Creditor promptly to do so prior to FIFTEEN # days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim.
