Neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall settle any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the other. The Buyer shall control all proceedings with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a taxable period beginning after December 31, 1998. None of the Sellers shall have any right to participate in the conduct of any such proceeding. The Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company and each of its affiliates, on the one hand, to, and each Seller and its affiliates, on the other hand, shall, reasonably cooperate in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include the retention and, upon request, the provision to the requesting person of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.
Procedures Relating to Indemnification (a) Any party seeking indemnification under Section 6.01 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give the Party from whom indemnification is being sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) notice of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement stating in reasonable detail the factual basis of the claim to the extent known by the Indemnified Party, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any recovery or indemnification sought by an Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed a claim for indemnification (including any Third Party Claim), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute in thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice by the Indemnifying Party, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 7.02.
Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Third Party Claims (a) In order for a party (the “indemnified party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any person against the indemnified party (a “Third Party Claim”), such indemnified party must notify the indemnifying party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim within ten (10) business days after receipt by such indemnified party of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the indemnified party failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, promptly after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim.
Right of Indemnitee to Indemnification Upon Application; Procedure Upon Application Any indemnification claim under this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 7 hereof, shall be made no later than 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of Indemnitee, accompanied by substantiating documentation, unless a determination is made within said 30-day period that Indemnitee has not met the relevant standards for indemnification set forth in Section 3 hereof by (a) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not or were not parties to such Proceeding, (b) a committee of the Board of Directors designated by majority vote of the Board of Directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (d) the stockholders. The right to indemnification or advances as provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standards of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Buyer (i) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates from and against any and all Adverse Consequences the Buyer or any such Affiliate may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences the Buyer or such Affiliate may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, or caused by (a) any breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement (other than the representations in Sections 3(l) and 3(m) hereof for which the Seller shall not have any indemnification obligation), (b) any breach of a covenant of the Seller contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement or (c) any Liability of the Seller with respect to the Division or of the Division Subsidiaries of which Seller had Knowledge and which was not disclosed to the Buyer prior to the Closing (regardless of whether the Liability is an Assumed Liability); provided, however, that (x) the Seller shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Buyer and/or its Affiliates from and against any Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by the breach (or alleged breach) of type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above (other than breaches of Section 6(e)) until the Buyer and/or its Affiliates have suffered Adverse Consequences by reason of all such breaches (or alleged breaches) in excess of a $1 million aggregate deductible (after which point the Seller will be obligated only to indemnify the Buyer from and against further such Adverse Consequences), (y) in no event shall the total obligation of the Seller to indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates from and against Adverse Consequences exceed $15 million in the aggregate with respect to Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by breaches (or alleged breaches) of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above (other than breaches of Section 6(e)) which occur within 365 days after the closing date and (z) in no event shall the total obligation of the Seller to indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates from and against Adverse Consequences during the period beginning 366 days after the closing Date and ending 548 days after the Closing Date, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by breaches (or alleged breaches) of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above (other than breaches of Section 6(e)) exceed the result of $12 million minus any amount actually paid pursuant to clause (y).
Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts (a) Upon the request, and at the expense of the Borrower, each Lender and Agent to which the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender or Agent shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender or Agent its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Lender or Agent for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender or Agent shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Lender or Agent in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.
Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Sellers In the event the Buyer breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean the Buyer has breached) any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein, and, if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to Section 6.1 above, provided that any of the Sellers makes a written claim for indemnification against the Buyer pursuant to Section 8.8 below within such survival period, then the Buyer agrees to indemnify each of the Sellers from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged breach).

If any provision of this Agreement would subject the Executive to additional tax or interest under section 409A, the Bank shall reform the provision. However, the Bank shall maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting the Executive to additional tax or interest, and the Bank shall not be required to incur any additional compensation expense as a result of the reformed provision.
Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims (a) In the event that any party (the “Indemnified Person”) desires to make a claim against any other party (the “Indemnifying Person”) in connection with any Losses for which the Indemnified Person may seek indemnification hereunder in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifying Person in writing, of the Third-Party Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”) as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt, by such Indemnified Person of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, that failure to give a Third-Party Claim Notice on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.
