Submission of Claims 39 If Provider submits claims for Services rendered under this Contract, the following 40 requirements shall apply:
Assertion of Claims (a) In the event that a Person (the “Indemnified Party”) desires to assert its right to indemnification from a Person (an “Indemnifying Party”) required to indemnify such Indemnified Party under this Section 12, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of the claim giving rise thereto (a “Claim”), and the Indemnifying Party shall undertake the defense thereof (unless the Claim is asserted against or related to or results from any action or failure to take action by such Indemnifying Party). The failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the failure to so notify promptly. (b) The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party unless the Indemnified Party agrees in writing to forego any and all claims for indemnification from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claim. However, if the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after notice of any such Claim, fails to defend such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such Claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof. (c) IF THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY HAS UNDERTAKEN THE DEFENSE OF A CLAIM AND (I) IF THERE IS A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT (X) A CLAIM MAY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY OTHER THAN AS A RESULT OF MONEY DAMAGES OR OTHER MONEY PAYMENTS OR (Y) THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR MEMBERS MAY HAVE LEGAL DEFENSES AVAILABLE TO IT OR THEM THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM OR ADDITIONAL TO THE DEFENSES AVAILABLE TO THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY, OR (II) IF THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY SHALL NOT HAVE EMPLOYED COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL NEVERTHELESS HAVE THE RIGHT, AT THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY’S COST AND EXPENSE, TO DEFEND SUCH CLAIM.
Administration of Claims 8.1. The Claims Administrator shall administer and calculate the claims submitted by Settlement Class Members under ¶ 2. Proposed Class Counsel and Defendants counsel shall be given reports as to both claims and distribution and have the right to review and obtain supporting documentation and challenge any such claim if they believe it to be inaccurate or inadequate. The Claims Administrators final determination of the validity or invalidity of any claims shall be binding, subject to the Dispute Resolution process set forth in ¶ 2.10. 8.2. Payments for Approved Claims shall be sent to the claimants within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, or within thirty (30) days of the date that the claim is approved, whichever is later. No Approved Claims shall be paid until after the Effective Date. If this Settlement Agreement is terminated or otherwise does not become Final (e.g., disapproval by the Court or any appellate court) prior to the payment of Approved Claims, Defendants shall have no obligation to pay such claims and shall only be required to pay costs and expenses related to notice and administration that were already incurred. 8.3. All Settlement Class Members who fail to timely submit a claim for any benefits hereunder within the time frames set forth herein, or such other period as may be ordered by the Court, or otherwise allowed, shall be forever barred from receiving any payments or benefits pursuant to the settlement set forth herein, but will in all other respects be subject to, and bound by, the provisions of the Settlement Agreement, the releases contained herein and the Judgment. 8.4. No individual shall have any claim against the Claims Administrator, Defendants, Proposed Class Counsel, Representative Plaintiffs, and/or Defendants counsel based on distribution of benefits to Settlement Class Members. 8.5. The Parties, Proposed Class Counsel, and Defendants counsel shall not have any liability whatsoever with respect to (i) any act, omission or determination of the Claims Administrator, or any of its respective designees or agents, in connection with the Claims Administration or otherwise; or (ii) the determination, rejection, administration, calculation or payment of any Claims.
