Section
9.03 Rules Regarding
Indemnification. The obligations and liabilities of each party
hereto (the "indemnifying party") which may be subject to indemnification
liability hereunder to the other party(ies) (the “indemnified party”) will be
subject to the following terms and conditions:
a) The
indemnified party will give written notice to the indemnifying party, within
such time as not to prejudice the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against
the underlying claim, stating with reasonable specificity the nature of said
claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known.
b) If,
within ten (10) days after receiving such notice, the indemnifying party advises
the indemnified party that it will provide indemnification and / or assume the
defense at its expense, then so long as such defense is being conducted, the
indemnified party will not settle or admit liability with respect to the claim
without the consent of the indemnifying party and will afford to the
indemnifying party and defending counsel reasonable assistance in defending
against the claim.
c) If
the indemnifying party assumes the defense, counsel reasonably acceptable to the
indemnified party will be selected by such party and if the indemnified party
then retains its own counsel, it will do so at its own expense.
d)
If the indemnified party does not receive a written objection to such notice
within ten (10) days after the indemnifying party's receipt of such notice, the
claim for indemnity will be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and
approved, and in such case the indemnified party may control the defense of the
matter or case and, at its sole discretion, settle or admit
liability.
e) If
within the aforesaid ten (10) day period the indemnified party will have
received written objection to a claim (which written objection will briefly
describe the basis of the objection to the claim or the amount thereof, all in
good faith), then for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such
objection the parties will attempt to settle the dispute as between the
indemnified party and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to
settle the dispute, the

unresolved
issue or issues will be settled by a court of competent jurisdiction located in

case.
