Indemnification; Reimbursement. 1. The Association agrees to indemnify the Committee, make whole and save harmless the Committee against all claims, suits, actions or other forms of liability of whatever nature, for all damages and financial loss which the Committee may be required by any administrative agency, arbitrator, court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, to expend, incur, pay or suffer, caused or occasioned by the deduction of such service fee from an employee(s) or out of the application (including defense or prosecution) of the terms of this service fee provision. 2. The Association shall reimburse the Committee for any expenses incurred as a result of being ordered to reinstate any employee suspended at the request of the Association for not paying the service fee. The Association will intervene in and defend any administrative or court litigation concerning the propriety of such suspension for failure to pay the service fee. In such litigation, the Committee shall have no obligation to defend the suspension. 3. Should the Committee defend any such action(s) taken against the Committee (and/or others) by an employee so suspended, the Association shall not be required, provided the service fee is properly implemented and lawful, to reimburse the Committee for the Committee’s legal costs, fees, and expenses if the Committee has failed in good faith to enforce the five (5) work day suspension provision of this service fee clause.
