Conclusive Presumption Regarding Standard of Care. In making any determination required to be made under Delaware law with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee submitted a request therefor in accordance with [Section 5] of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.

Dominion Questar Gas will have the burden of proof to show that prices for goods and services provided by Dominion or its other subsidiaries to Dominion Questar Gas, are just and reasonable.

Section # Burden of Proof. In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee will be entitled to a presumption that he or she has met the Standard of Conduct. This presumption will only be overcome if the Determining Body is presented with, and accepts, clear and convincing evidence (whether actual or circumstantial) that the conduct of the Indemnitee with respect to the subject matter of the Proceeding did not satisfy the Standard of Conduct.

Application for Enforcement. In the event the Company fails to make timely payments as set forth in Sections 7 or 8(b) above (a “Nonpayment”), Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Agreement. In such an enforcement hearing or proceeding, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to prove that indemnification or advancement of expenses to Indemnitee is not required under this Agreement or permitted by applicable law. Any determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, stockholders or independent counsel) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, shall not be a defense by the Company to the action nor create any presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder. If a determination shall have been made by the Company that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 8(c) absent # a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s misstatement not materially misleading in connection with the application for indemnification, or # a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

In addition, the knowledge and actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent, or employee of the Enterprise will not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it will in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the ​. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption will have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

Control of Defense. In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a Third Party Proceeding which constitutes a matter for which either # the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2 or [Section 8.4], as applicable, or # if determined adversely to the Indemnified Party, would provide a basis for a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 or [Section 8.4], as applicable (each such claim, a “Third Party Indemnifiable Claim”), and with respect to the defense of such Third Party Indemnifiable Claim, and subject to the limitations on settlement set forth in [Section 8.6(c)], the Indemnified Party shall assume and control the settlement and defense of such Proceeding and appoint and select lead counsel. The Indemnified Party shall keep the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, reasonably informed of the defense of such Proceeding by providing copies of any pleadings or other material communications, to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall (and shall cause its respective Affiliates to) provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, including by making available, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, such witnesses, records, materials and other information in such Person’s possession or under such Person’s control as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

Control of Defense. The Indemnitee hereby grants the Indemnitor the right to assert sole management and control, at the Indemnitor’s sole expense, of the defense of such Third Party Claim and its settlement; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee if such settlement does not include a complete release from liability or if such settlement would involve the Indemnitee undertaking an obligation (including the payment of money by the Indemnitee), would bind or impair the Indemnitee, or includes any admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnitee or that any intellectual property or proprietary right of Indemnitee or this Agreement is invalid, narrowed in scope or unenforceable. The assertion of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnitor shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnitor is liable to indemnify the

Defense of Claim. The indemnifying Party shall defend or control the defense of Third Party Claims. The indemnifying Party shall be responsible for satisfying and discharging any award made to or settlement reached with the Third Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The indemnifying Party shall retain counsel to represent the indemnified party and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, but without limiting the foregoing, the indemnified Party, at its sole expense, shall have the right to retain its own counsel. The indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in the defense of such Third Party Claim, as requested by, and at the reasonable expense of, the indemnifying Party. The indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, refused, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any such Third Party Claim, unless such settlement includes a full and unconditional release of the indemnified Party from all liability on such Claims.

Defense of Claims. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to notify the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness of any claim asserted against it in respect of which the Indemnifying Party may be liable under this Agreement, which notification shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the basis of such claim and the manner of calculation thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to promptly give notice shall not preclude such Indemnified Party from obtaining indemnification under this Article VIII, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that the Indemnifying Party’s failure materially prejudices the rights or increases the liabilities and obligations of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to defend or compromise any such claim at its own expense with counsel of its choice; provided, however, that: # such counsel shall have been approved by the Indemnified Party prior to engagement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; # the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense, if it so chooses with its own counsel and at its own expense; and # any such defense or compromise shall be conducted in a manner which is reasonable and not contrary to the Indemnified Party’s interest. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to defend or compromise, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention not to undertake to defend or compromise the claim.
