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.

Claims Procedures. The applicable employees of the Parties shall escalate any Dispute to the executives of the Parties for resolution. Upon receipt of any such escalated matter, the executives of the Parties shall discuss and attempt to resolve the matter within 15 business days immediately following the escalation. If by the end of the fifteenth business day, the matter has not been resolved to the satisfaction of both Parties, then the party that initiated the claim shall provide written notification to the other party in accordance with Section 8(c) of this Agreement, in the form of a claim identifying the issue or amount disputed and including a detailed reason for the claim. The party against whom the claim is made shall respond in writing to the claim within 15 business days from the date of receipt of the claim document. The party filing the claim shall have an additional 15 business days after the receipt of the response to either accept any resolution offered by the other party or request implementation of the procedures set forth in Section 8(c) (the “Escalation Procedures”).

Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. 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 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, 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 Indemnified Party'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.
