Indemnification and Reliance on Employer Directions. Each party agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the other harmless from and against any liability that the other party may incur as a result of the indemnifying party’s breach of this Agreement or failure to comply with applicable law; provided that the Employer will in all cases remain responsible for payment of benefits under the Plan. The Claims Administrator is entitled to rely on instructions, communications, or directions from the Employer concerning Plan design, eligibility determinations, benefit changes, and other areas of Plan administration for which the Employer is responsible. The Claims Administrator has no obligation or responsibility to question or refuse to follow such instructions, communications, or directions. The Employer will indemnify, defend, and hold the Claims Administrator harmless from any liability arising from the Claims Administrator’s reliance on such instructions, communications, or directions.
