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 36.01 It is agreed that neither the Employer, its representatives and supervisors, nor the Union, will attempt to bring about the settlement of any contractual issue by means other than the grievance procedure.
36.02 A grievance is a dispute or difference between the Employer and the employee covered by this Bargaining Agreement, concerning the interpretation and/or application of this contract. The following procedures shall apply to the administration of all grievances filed under this Agreement, and shall be presented in accordance with the steps outlined below:
Step 1 An employee who believes he may have a grievance shall notify his immediate supervisor(s) of the possible grievance within seven (7) calendar days of the occurrence of the facts giving rise to the grievance. This notification shall be in writing, and shall state the aggrieved employee's name, position, date of alleged grievance, and the portion of the Agreement in question giving rise to this grievance. The presentation of this grievance shall be in the employee's own hand. The supervisor will schedule an informal meeting within seven (7) calendar days after the receipt of the grievance, with the employee, and his associate if requested by the employee, to discuss the issues in dispute with the objective of resolving the matter informally, with a written reply of the meeting to be given to the employee, the Union xxxxxxx, and the Employer.
Step 2 If no satisfactory settlement is reached at the step 1, the grievance may be appealed to the Division Head, or other Employer designate, and the Local Union Staff Representative within seven (7) calendar days after receiving the reply of the step 1. The appeal shall restate the grievance, and shall include proposed remedy sought by the aggrieved party. A step 2 answer, reduced to writing, will be given to the aggrieved party within seven (7) calendar days of receiving the written appeal.
Step 3 If no satisfactory answer is reached at step 2, the grievance may be appealed to the City Manager and the Union Staff Representative or their designated alternates within seven (7) calendar days after the reply is rendered in step 2. The appeal shall be reduced to writing, shall contain the original grievance and all subsequent answers/decisions, and be in the employee's own hand. A meeting will be held within 14 calendar days after the receipt of the Step 2 reply. A written reply will be issued as a result of this meeting within fourteen
Amendments This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.
Effective Date This agreement shall be effective upon its execution, and unless terminated as provided, shall continue in force until May 31, 2006 and thereafter from year to year, provided continuance is approved annually by the vote of a majority of the Board members of the Issuer, and by the vote of those Board members of the Issuer who are not "interested persons" of the Issuer and, if a plan under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 is in effect, by the vote of those Board members of the Issuer who are not "interested persons" of the Issuer and who are not parties to the Distribution and Service Plan or this Agreement and have no financial interest in the operation of the Distribution and Service Plan or in any agreements related to the Distribution and Service Plan, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval.

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.
