PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION (a) Indemnitee agrees to notify promptly the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding, claim, issue or matter therein which may be subject to indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights, or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, or otherwise.
(b) Indemnitee may deliver to the Company a written application to indemnify, hold harmless or exonerate Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement. Such application(s) may be delivered from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in his or her sole discretion. Following such a written application for indemnification by Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be determined according to Section 12(a) of this Agreement.
Procedure for Indemnification (a) Except as may be set forth in a Related Agreement, if an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including, without limitation, any governmental entity) who is not a party to this Agreement or to any of the Related Agreements of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (a "Third-Party Claim") with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof promptly after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as required by this Section 5.04 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated if necessary) of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be sustained by such Indemnitee.
(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend or to seek to settle or compromise, at such Indemnifying Party's own expense and by such Indemnifying Party's own counsel, any Third-Party Claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party must confirm in writing that it agrees that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of such Third-Party Claim. Within 30 days of the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 5.04(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether to assume responsibility for such Third-Party Claim (provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not so notify the Indemnitee of its election within 30 days after receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected not to assume responsibility for such Third-Party Claim), and such Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense or settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Claim. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume responsibility for a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Article V for any legal or other expenses (except expenses approved in advance by the Indemnifying Party) subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided that if the defendants in any such claim include both the Indemnifying Party and one or more Indemnitees and in such Indemnitees' reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnitees and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for a Third-Party Claim (which election may be made only in the event of a good faith dispute that a claim was inappropriately tendered under Section 5.01 or 5.02, as the case may be) such Indemnitee may defend or (subject to the following sentence) seek to compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee may not settle or compromise any claim without prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party, which shall have the option within ten days following the receipt of such notice (i) to disapprove the settlement and assume all past and future responsibility for the claim, including reimbursing the Indemnitee for prior expenditures in connection with the claim, or (ii) to disapprove the settlement and continue to refrain from participation in the defense of the claim, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall have no further right to contest the amount or reasonableness of the settlement if the Indemnitee elects to proceed therewith, or (iii) to approve the amount of the settlement, reserving the Indemnifying Party's right to contest the Indemnitee's right to indemnity, or (iv) to approve and agree to pay the settlement. In the event the Indemnifying Party makes no response to such written notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected option (ii).
(c) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to such Indemnifying Party any personnel and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.
(d) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 5.04 to the contrary, an Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim unless such settlement or compromise contemplates as an unconditional term thereof the giving by such claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim (and provided further that such settlement may not provide for any non-monetary relief by Indemnitee without the written consent of Indemnitee). In the event the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing that such Indemnitee declines to accept any such settlement or compromise, such Indemnitee may continue to contest such Third-Party Claim, free of any participation by such Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnitee's sole expense. In such event, the obligation of such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnitee with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall be equal to (i) the costs and expenses of such Indemnitee prior to the date such Indemnifying Party notifies such Indemnitee of the offer to settle or compromise (to the extent such costs and expenses are otherwise indemnifiable hereunder) plus (ii) the lesser of (A) the amount of any offer of settlement or compromise which such Indemnitee declined to accept and (B) the actual out-of-pocket amount such Indemnitee is obligated to pay subsequent to such date as a result of such Indemnitee's continuing to pursue such Third-Party Claim.
(e) Any claim on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 15 days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 15-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 15-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party under applicable law or under this Agreement.
(f) In addition to any adjustments required pursuant to Section 5.03, if the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss shall, at any time subsequent to the payment required by this Agreement, be reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise, the amount of such reduction, less any expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party.
(g) In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.
(h) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 5.04 to the contrary, with respect to any Action pending at the time of the Distribution (a "Pending Action") with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, LTC or Healthcare shall, at the request of any other party, cause the employee(s) who were handling the defense, compromise or settlement of such Pending Action prior to the Distribution to continue to handle such defense, compromise or settlement following the Distribution (subject to the last two sentences of subsection (b) above). If such employees are employed by the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in, such defense, compromise or settlement.

(e) The employee may request up to three (3) additional days of paid orientation. When making her request, the employee will specify her learning needs and discuss with the Director of Care the development of the orientation learning plan. This request will not be unreasonably denied.
(f) Notwithstanding the above, orientation/familiarization when an employee is transferred to a new unit/shift will be provided as required.
(g) The Employer may, at its discretion, provide orientation in other circumstances.
20.04 Both the Employer and the Union recognize the joint responsibility and commitment to provide, and participate in, in-service education. The Union supports the principle of its members' responsibility for their own professional development and the Employer will endeavour to provide programmes related to the requirements of the Home. Programmes will be publicized and related material will be made readily accessible to staff in a timely manner. Any problems in accessing this information will be reported to the Union- Management Committee for resolution.
(a) When an employee is required by the Employer to attend any in-service program or e-learning within the Home during her or his regularly scheduled working hours the employee shall suffer no loss of regular pay.
(b) When an employee is required by the Employer to prepare for in service or to attend meetings, in service and other work related functions outside her regularly scheduled working hours, and the employee does attend same, she shall be paid for all time spent on such attendance at her regular straight time hourly rate of pay or at the employee's option, she shall receive equivalent time off. When an employee is required by the Employer to complete an e-learning programme outside her regularly scheduled working hours, she shall be paid for all time spent completing such learning at her regular straight time hourly rate of pay or at the employee's option, she shall receive equivalent time off. Part-time employees will be credited with seniority and service for all such hours paid as provided above while in attendance at in-services, meetings, and completing e-learning.
(c) The Employer will endeavour where practical to schedule in-services at times which will facilitate the attendance of employees working outside the day shift.
20.06 When required by a certifying body to update an employee's qualifications, except where this matter is covered by another provision of the collective agreement, the Employer shall grant leave of absence without pay which shall include the time required to write any examinations.
20.07 The Employer undertakes to notify the Union in advance, so far as practicable, of any technological changes which the Employer has decided to introduce which will significantly change the employment status of the employee(s) within the bargaining unit. The Employer agrees to discuss with the Union the effect of such technological changes on the employment status of the employee(s) and to consider practical ways and means of minimizing the adverse effect, if any, on the employee(s) concerned. Employees who are subject to layoff due to technological change will then be given notice of such layoff at the earliest reasonable time and in keeping with the requirements of the applicable legislation and the provisions of Article 9.11 to
PROCEDURE UPON APPLICATION FOR INDEMNIFICATION (a) A determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made in the specific case by one of the following methods, which shall be at the election of Indemnitee: (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, (iii) if there are no Disinterested Directors or if such directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (iv) by vote of the stockholders. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
(b) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 12(b). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. If the Independent Counsel is selected by the Board, the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected and certifying that the Independent Counsel so selected meets the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(b) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Delaware Court, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 12(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
Procedure for Notification of Claim for Indemnification or Advancement (a) Indemnitee will notify the Company in writing of any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof. Indemnitee will include in the written notification to the Company a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding and provide such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of such Proceeding. Indemnitee’s failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any obligation it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company will not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company will, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification or advancement, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification or advancement.
(b) The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.
PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION--OTHER CLAIMS A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
Responsibility for Information Recipients The Asset Representations Reviewer will be responsible for a breach of this Section 4.9 by its Information Recipients.
PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION--THIRD PARTY CLAIMS (a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 12.1 or 12.2 of notice of the commencement of any proceeding against it, such indemnified party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnifying party's failure to give such notice.
(b) If any proceeding referred to in Section 12.4(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless the indemnifying party is also a party to such proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate), to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 12 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement or such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party's notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.
Standard for Indemnification If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any such Proceeding unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
