Procedure If any action is brought against an Underwriter, a Selected Dealer or a Controlling Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to Section 6.1, such Underwriter, such Selected Dealer or Controlling Person, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the institution of such action and the Company shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment and fees of counsel (subject to the reasonable approval of such Underwriter or such Selected Dealer, as the case may be) and payment of actual expenses. Such Underwriter, such Selected Dealer or Controlling Person shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter, such Selected Dealer or Controlling Person unless (i) the employment of such counsel at the expense of the Company shall have been authorized in writing by the Company in connection with the defense of such action, or (ii) the Company shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Company (in which case the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one additional firm of attorneys selected by such Underwriter (in addition to local counsel), Selected Dealer and/or Controlling Person shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Underwriter, Selected Dealer or Controlling Person shall assume the defense of such action as provided above, the Company shall have the right to approve the terms of any settlement of such action which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE 7.01 For purposes of this Agreement, a grievance is defined as a difference arising between the parties relating to the interpretation, application, administration or alleged violation of the Agreement including any question as to whether a matter is arbitrable.
Dispute Resolution All or any disputes arising out or touching upon or in relation to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the interpretation and validity of the terms thereof and the respective rights and obligations of the Parties, shall be settled amicably by mutual discussion, failing which the same shall be settled through the adjudicating officer appointed under the Act.
Procedures If any action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice (the “Third Party Notice”) of the assertion of such Legal Proceeding to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, by providing written notice to the Indemnified Party, to (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Legal Proceeding, (ii) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (subject to the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost, risk and expense and (iii) compromise or settle such Legal Proceeding, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, that such consent shall not be required if such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, (y) otherwise provides solely for payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible and no other form of relief or penalty, (y) shall not increase the tax liability of the Indemnified Party for any taxable year or other taxable period and (z) does not involve the admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Legal Proceeding and any appeal arising therefrom, and the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, monitor and further participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Legal Proceeding and any appeal arising therefrom. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such Legal Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have, upon giving prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party, the right to employ one separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Legal Proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel for the Indemnified Party if, but only if, the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded in good faith that (x) an actual or potential conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to it or to other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party) makes it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party (upon and in conformity with the advice of counsel) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or (y) the claim seeks nonmonetary relief which, if granted, could materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against such Legal Proceeding, does not, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Third Party Notice (or such earlier date, if the failure to assume the defense by such earlier date would materially impair the ability of the indemnified party to defend such Legal Proceeding), acknowledge in writing its intent to assume the defense of such Legal Proceeding pursuant to this Section 4.3, contests its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in connection with such Legal Proceeding, or fails to defend against such Legal Proceeding with reasonable diligence, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Legal Proceeding, in which cases the costs of defending such Legal Proceeding shall constitute indemnifiable Losses under this Article IV, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate therein at its own cost. If the Indemnified Party defends any Legal Proceeding, then it shall keep the Indemnifying Party regularly apprised of the status of the Legal Proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable expenses of counsel engaged by the Indemnified Party to defend such Legal Proceeding upon submission of periodic bills unless (A) the Indemnifying Party is asserting in good faith a bona fide contest to its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party and (B) the Indemnifying Party deposits in escrow in a manner and with an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party all amounts that would have been payable to such Indemnified Party under this sentence in the absence of such a contest as and when such amounts would have been payable. In no event shall the Indemnified Party be entitled to compromise or settle any Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If a claim for Losses (a “Claim”) is to be made by any Indemnified Party not in connection with a Legal Proceeding instituted by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party reasonably promptly after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event giving rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 4.3. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the Claim described in such Claim Notice, the Losses identified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party. After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Legal Proceeding hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes any such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay such amounts.
Arbitration Disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement that are not resolved pursuant to Section 5.1, including requests for specific performance, will be resolved through binding arbitration conducted pursuant to the rules of the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language and will occur in Los Angeles County, California. Any arbitration will be in front of a single arbitrator, unless (i) ICANN is seeking punitive or exemplary damages, or operational sanctions, (ii) the parties agree in writing to a greater number of arbitrators, or (iii) the dispute arises under Section 7.6 or 7.7. In the case of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding sentence, the arbitration will be in front of three arbitrators with each party selecting one arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators selecting the third arbitrator. In order to expedite the arbitration and limit its cost, the arbitrator(s) shall establish page limits for the parties’ filings in conjunction with the arbitration, and should the arbitrator(s) determine that a hearing is necessary, the hearing shall be limited to one (1) calendar day, provided that in any arbitration in which ICANN is seeking punitive or exemplary damages, or operational sanctions, the hearing may be extended for one (1) additional calendar day if agreed upon by the parties or ordered by the arbitrator(s) based on the arbitrator(s) independent determination or the reasonable request of one of the parties thereto. The prevailing party in the arbitration will have the right to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, which the arbitrator(s) shall include in the awards. In the event the arbitrators determine that Registry Operator has been repeatedly and willfully in fundamental and material breach of its obligations set forth in Article 2, Article 6 or Section 5.4 of this Agreement, ICANN may request the arbitrators award punitive or exemplary damages, or operational sanctions (including without limitation an order temporarily restricting Registry Operator’s right to sell new registrations). Each party shall treat information received from the other party pursuant to the arbitration that is appropriately marked as confidential (as required by Section 7.15) as Confidential Information of such other party in accordance with Section 7.15. In any litigation involving ICANN concerning this Agreement, jurisdiction and exclusive venue for such litigation will be in a court located in Los Angeles County, California; however, the parties will also have the right to enforce a judgment of such a court in any court of competent jurisdiction.
