Requests for Exclusion (Opt-Outs) 8.5.1 Class Members who wish to exclude themselves (opt-out of) the Class Settlement must send the Administrator, by fax, email, or mail, a signed written Request for Exclusion not later than 60 days after the Administrator mails the Class Notice (plus an additional 14 days for Class Members whose Class Notice is re-mailed). A Request for Exclusion is a letter from a Class Member or his/her representative that reasonably communicates the Class Member’s election to be excluded from the Settlement and includes the Class Member’s name, address and email address or telephone number. To be valid, a Request for Exclusion must be timely faxed, emailed, or postmarked by the Response Deadline.
8.5.2 The Administrator may not reject a Request for Exclusion as invalid because it fails to contain all the information specified in the Class Notice. The Administrator shall accept any Request for Exclusion as valid if the Administrator can reasonably ascertain the identity of the person as a Class Member and the Class Member’s desire to be excluded. The Administrator’s determination shall be final and not appealable or otherwise susceptible to challenge. If the Administrator has reason to question the authenticity of a Request for Exclusion, the Administrator may demand additional proof of the Class Member’s identity. The Administrator’s determination of authenticity shall be final and not appealable or otherwise susceptible to challenge.
8.5.3 Every Class Member who does not submit a timely and valid Request for Exclusion is deemed to be a Participating Class Member under this Agreement, entitled to all benefits and bound by all terms and conditions of the Settlement, including the Participating Class Members’ Releases under Paragraphs 6.2 and
Notice of Claims, etc Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying party may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of such proceedings which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a complete and unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
Request for Hearing The employee must file a written request for hearing within fifteen calendar days of receipt of the Notice of Dismissal or Suspension.

Notice of Claims Within thirty (30) days after a Person seeking indemnification hereunder (hereinafter the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of or has acquired knowledge of any claim by any Person not a Party to this Agreement of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person not a Party to this Agreement (“third party claim”) or has acquired knowledge of any other claim hereunder against another Party hereto (“first party claim”) the Indemnified Party shall, if such claim is indemnifiable by the other Party pursuant hereto (hereinafter the “Indemnifying Party”), give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim and the commencement or threatened commencement of such action or proceeding, if any. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such claim, and, if ascertainable, the amount thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not excuse the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify and, in the case of a third party claim, defend the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered damage or prejudice by reason of the Indemnified Party’s failure to give or delay in giving such notice. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of any notice issued by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12.3, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its indemnification obligation and, in the case of a third party claim, its defense obligation with respect to the claim which was the subject of the Indemnified Party’s notice or whether it disclaims such obligations. In the event the Indemnifying Party disclaims or fails to timely acknowledge its obligations with respect to any claim by the Indemnified Party relating to any third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such claim, with counsel of its own selection, and compromise such claim without prejudice to its right to indemnification hereunder. In the event the Indemnifying Party timely acknowledges its obligations hereunder with respect to any third party claim, the Indemnifying Party shall defend the same with counsel in accordance with this Section. Where the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing its obligations hereunder with respect to any third party claim, the Indemnified Party may, at its expense, participate in the defense of such third party claim and no such third party claim shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At any time after the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligations hereunder with respect to any third party claim, the Indemnifying Party may request the Indemnified Party to agree in writing to the payment or compromise of such third party claim (provided such payment or compromise has been previously approved in writing by the third party claimant), and, in the event the Indemnifying Party does so, the Indemnified Party shall promptly agree in writing to such settlement, unless such settlement would involve a remedy or remedies, other than the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party, to which the Indemnified Party reasonably objects.
Indemnification for Certain Claims The Party providing services hereunder, its affiliates and its parent company, shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by the Party receiving services hereunder against any claim, loss or damage arising from the receiving company’s use of the services provided under this Agreement pertaining to (1) claims for libel, slander or invasion of privacy arising from the content of the receiving company’s own communications, or (2) any claim, loss or damage claimed by the End User of the Party receiving services arising from such company’s use or reliance on the providing company’s services, actions, duties, or obligations arising out of this Agreement.
