Section 0 shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory apply to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding determination and the Indemnifying Party burden of proving such defense shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceedingbe on VPUR. In addition, within a reasonable period of time after such fees and disbursements are billed by such counsel. If the Indemnifying Party fails to acknowledge its obligation, subject to the terms hereof, to indemnify in writing or fails to retain such counsel within a reasonable period of time after such notice was given, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right be entitled to retain its own counsel, receive interim payments of expenses pursuant to Section 0 unless and the fees and expenses of until such counsel defense shall be at the expense finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right of the Indemnifying Partyappeal exists.

In addition, neither the failure of both parties VPUR to have made a determination that indemnification of the Indemnified Party is proper under the circumstances, nor any determination by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood VPUR that the Indemnifying Indemnified Party has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall not, in connection with any proceeding create a presumption that the Indemnified Party has or related proceedings in has not met the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses applicable standard of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurredconduct.
