Derivative Claims No Shareholder shall have the right to bring or maintain any court action, proceeding or claim on behalf of the Trust or any series or class of Shares without first making demand on the Trustees requesting the Trustees to bring or maintain such action, proceeding or claim. Such demand shall not be excused under any circumstances, including claims of alleged interest on the part of the Trustees, unless the plaintiff makes a specific showing that irreparable nonmonetary injury to the Trust or series or class of Shares would otherwise result. Such demand shall be mailed to the Secretary of the Trust at the Trust's principal office and shall set forth with particularity the nature of the proposed court action, proceeding or claim and the essential facts relied upon by the Shareholder to support the allegations made in the demand. The Trustees shall consider such demand within 45 days of its receipt by the Trust. In their sole discretion, the Trustees may submit the matter to a vote of Shareholders of the Trust or a series or class of Shares, as appropriate. Any decision by the Trustees to bring, maintain or settle (or not to bring, maintain or settle) such court action, proceeding or claim, or to submit the matter to a vote of Shareholders, shall be binding upon the Shareholders. Any decision by the Trustees to bring or maintain a court action, proceeding or suit on behalf of the Trust or a series or class of Shares shall be subject to the right of the Shareholders under Article V hereof to vote on whether or not such court action, proceeding or suit should or should not be brought or maintained.

The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (x) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.3 or (y) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Third Party Action.

Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim and a reasonable estimate of the amount thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter so long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same in good faith and diligently, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any criminal proceeding without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense thereof and in any settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records or information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party that are in the Indemnified Party's possession or control. All Indemnified Parties shall use the same counsel, which shall be the counsel selected by Indemnifying Party, provided that if counsel to the Indemnifying Party shall have a conflict of interest that prevents counsel for the Indemnifying Party from representing Indemnified Party, Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such matter through counsel of its own choosing and Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable expenses of its counsel. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability, except (i) as set forth in the preceding sentence and (ii) to the extent such participation is requested by the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for reasonable additional legal expenses and out-of-pocket expenses. If the Indemnifying Party desires to accept a final and complete settlement of any such Third Person claim and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then the Indemnifying Party's liability under this Section with respect to such Third Person claim shall be limited to the amount so offered in settlement by said Third Person. Upon agreement as to such settlement between said Third Person and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, in exchange for a complete release from the Indemnified Party, promptly pay to the Indemnified Party the amount agreed to in such settlement and the Indemnified Party shall, from that moment on, bear full responsibility for any additional costs of defense which it subsequently incurs with respect to such claim and all additional costs of settlement or judgment. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to defend such matter to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or fails diligently to pursue such defense, the Indemnified Party may undertake such defense through counsel of its choice, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may settle such matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount paid in such settlement and any other liabilities or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Indemnified Party settle any Third Person claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All settlements hereunder shall effect a complete release of the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing. The parties hereto will make appropriate adjustments for insurance proceeds in determining the amount of any indemnification obligation under this Section.
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.
Claims Payment The Reinsurer will be liable to the Company for its share of the benefits owed under the express contractual terms of the Reinsured Policies and as specified under the terms of this Agreement. The Reinsurer will not participate in any ex gratia payments made by the Company (i.e., payments the Company is not required to make under the Reinsured Policy terms.) The payment of death benefits by the Reinsurer will be in one lump sum regardless of the mode of settlement under the Reinsured Policy. Benefit payments from the Reinsurer will be due within 30 days of the claim satisfying the requirements established under this Agreement. The Reinsurer’s share of any interest payable under the terms of a Reinsured Policy or applicable law which is based on the death benefits paid by the Company, will be payable provided that the Reinsurer will not be liable for interest accruing on or after the date of the Company’s payment of benefits. The Reinsurer’s share will be based upon the same interest rate and days used by the Company to calculate their interest paid. The Reinsurer will make payment to the Company for each such claim. For Waiver of Premium claims, the Company will continue to pay premiums for reinsurance, except premiums for disability reinsurance. The Reinsurer will pay its proportionate share of the gross premium waived by the Company on the Reinsured Policy, including its share of the premiums for benefits that remain in effect during disability. I414849US-12 (11-01-2011) QT#04028US11 (COLI & BXXx) For claims on Accelerated Benefit riders reinsured under this Agreement, the benefit amount payable by the Reinsurer will be calculated by multiplying the total accelerated death benefit rider payout by the ratio of the reinsured Net Amount at Risk, as defined in Exhibit C -1, to the face amount of the Reinsured Policy.
