Related to Nature of Claims Application

• Notice of Claims, etc Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding subdivisions of this Section 5. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying party may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of such proceedings which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a complete and unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Assignor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Assignor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such Assignor.

• Submission of Claims 39 If Provider submits claims for Services rendered under this Contract, the following 40 requirements shall apply:

• Notification of Claims (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any pending or threatened claim, demand or circumstance that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim being a “Third Party Claim”), describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim, demand or circumstance (a “Claim Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty or breach of or default under any obligation or covenant must be delivered before the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 11.4(a). (b) Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.5(a) with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim upon written notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the applicable Claim Notice and, in the event that the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such claim, it shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Person that shall control the defense of any such Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing and competence after consultation with the other party and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. (c) The Sellers or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Party; provided that (i) such settlement shall not encumber any of the assets of the Indemnified Party or contain any restriction or condition that would apply to such Indemnified Party or to the conduct of the Indemnified Party’s business, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness of such settlement (subject to Section 11.3, if applicable), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete release of any Indemnified Party potentially affected by such Third Party Claim.

• Claims and Review Procedure In the event that any claim for benefits that must initially be submitted in writing to the Board of Directors, is denied (in whole or in part) hereunder, the claimant shall receive from First Charter a notice of denial in writing within 60 days, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for denial, with specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Supplemental Agreement. Any disagreements about such interpretations and construction shall be submitted to an arbitrator subject to the rules and procedures established by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall be acceptable to both First Charter and the Executive (or Beneficiary); if the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, the disagreement shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators, with each party to appoint one arbitrator and the third to be chosen by the other two. No member of the Board of Directors shall be liable to any person for any action taken under Article VIII except those actions undertaken with lack of good faith.

• Defense of Claims Subject to the provisions of applicable policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, if any, the Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Indemnifiable Claim or to assume or lead the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that if Indemnitee determines, after consultation with counsel selected by Indemnitee, that (a) the use of counsel chosen by the Company to represent Indemnitee would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict, (b) the named parties in any such Indemnifiable Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and Indemnitee and Indemnitee shall conclude that there may be one or more legal defenses available to him or her that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, (c) any such representation by such counsel would be precluded under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, or (d) Indemnitee has interests in the claim or underlying subject matter that are different from or in addition to those of other Persons against whom the Claim has been made or might reasonably be expected to be made, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any particular Indemnifiable Claim for all indemnitees in Indemnitee’s circumstances) at the Company’s expense. The Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or pending Indemnifiable Claim which the Indemnitee is or could have been a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnifiable Claim. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided that Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee.

• WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT In consideration of the Releasees accepting my application for a Season Pass and permitting my use of the lifts, ski runs, trails, terrain parks, race courses, restaurants, day lodge, parking, access roads and other ski area facilities (hereinafter “the premises”), I hereby agree as follows:

• Notice of Claims Within thirty (30) days after a Person seeking indemnification hereunder (hereinafter the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of or has acquired knowledge of any claim by any Person not a Party to this Agreement of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action or proceeding by any Person not a Party to this Agreement (“third party claim”) or has acquired knowledge of any other claim hereunder against another Party hereto (“first party claim”) the Indemnified Party shall, if such claim is indemnifiable by the other Party pursuant hereto (hereinafter the “Indemnifying Party”), give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim and the commencement or threatened commencement of such action or proceeding, if any. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of such claim, and, if ascertainable, the amount thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not excuse the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify and, in the case of a third party claim, defend the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has suffered damage or prejudice by reason of the Indemnified Party’s failure to give or delay in giving such notice. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of any notice issued by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12.3, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its indemnification obligation and, in the case of a third party claim, its defense obligation with respect to the claim which was the subject of the Indemnified Party’s notice or whether it disclaims such obligations. In the event the Indemnifying Party disclaims or fails to timely acknowledge its obligations with respect to any claim by the Indemnified Party relating to any third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such claim, with counsel of its own selection, and compromise such claim without prejudice to its right to indemnification hereunder. In the event the Indemnifying Party timely acknowledges its obligations hereunder with respect to any third party claim, the Indemnifying Party shall defend the same with counsel in accordance with this Section. Where the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing its obligations hereunder with respect to any third party claim, the Indemnified Party may, at its expense, participate in the defense of such third party claim and no such third party claim shall be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At any time after the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligations hereunder with respect to any third party claim, the Indemnifying Party may request the Indemnified Party to agree in writing to the payment or compromise of such third party claim (provided such payment or compromise has been previously approved in writing by the third party claimant), and, in the event the Indemnifying Party does so, the Indemnified Party shall promptly agree in writing to such settlement, unless such settlement would involve a remedy or remedies, other than the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party, to which the Indemnified Party reasonably objects.
