In addition, the UNION shall advise the BOARD of subsequent changes therein. f) Upon receipt of formal notice of an objection or unfair labor practice charge to the Labor Board, the UNION and the BOARD, hereby agree to comply with Labor Board rules. The BOARD shall forward the objector's fee or portion of the objector's fees being contested to the Labor Board to be placed in an escrow account pending a decision or mutually agreeable settlement between the UNION and the objector(s). g) The UNION shall indemnify and hold harmless the BOARD, its members, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, complaints, suits, or other forms of liability that shall arise out of, or by reason of action taken by the BOARD or the purposes of complying with the above provisions of this Article, or in reliance on any list, notice, certification, affidavit, or assignment furnished under any such provisions. h) If during the term of this Agreement, the Labor Board or a court of competent jurisdiction rules any part of this Article void or not enforceable, the UNION and the BOARD agree to convene negotiations on this matter immediately for the sole purpose of bringing this Article into compliance with the standards or rulings of said Labor Board or court.
