"FORM OF"
FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE LINCOLN NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
AND
LINCOLN VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this ____ day of March, 2003, by
and between LINCOLN VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS TRUST, an open-end management
investment company organized as a Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), and
THE LINCOLN NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, an Indiana insurance corporation
(the "Company"), on its own behalf and on behalf of each separate
account of the Company named in Schedule 1 to this Agreement as in effect at
the time this Agreement is executed and such other separate accounts that may
be added to Schedule 1 from time to time in accordance with the provisions of
Article XI of this Agreement (each such account referred to as the "Account";
collectively, the "Accounts").
WHEREAS, the Trust is engaged in business as an open-end management
investment company and was established for the purpose of serving as the
investment vehicle for separate accounts established for variable life
insurance policies and variable annuity contracts (collectively referred to
as "Variable Insurance Products," the owners of such products being referred
to as "Product owners") to be offered by insurance companies which have
entered into participation agreements with the Trust ("Participating
Insurance Companies"); and
WHEREAS, the Trust filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") and the SEC has declared effective a registration statement
(referred to herein as the "Trust Registration Statement" and the prospectus
contained therein, or filed pursuant to Rule 497 under the 1933 Act, referred
to herein as the "Trust Prospectus") on Form N-lA to register itself as an
open-end management investment company (File No. 811-08090) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and the Trust
shares (File No. 33-70742) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"); and
WHEREAS, the beneficial interest in the Trust is divided into several
series of shares, each designated a "Fund," which are set forth in Schedule
2, and representing the interest in a particular managed portfolio of
securities and other assets; and
WHEREAS, the Company has filed or will file a registration statement
with the SEC to register under the 1933 Act (unless exempt therefrom) certain
variable annuity contracts and/or variable life insurance policies (such
policies and contracts shall be referred to herein collectively as the
"Contracts"); and
WHEREAS, each Account, a validly existing separate account, duly
authorized by the
Company on the date set forth on Schedule 1, sets aside and invests assets
attributable to the Contracts; and
WHEREAS, the Company has registered or will have registered each Account
with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act before any
Contracts are issued by that Account; and
WHEREAS, to the extent permitted by applicable insurance laws and
regulations, the Company intends to purchase shares on behalf of each Account
to fund its Contracts and the Trust is authorized to sell such shares to unit
investment trusts such as the Accounts at net asset value;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises, the Company
and the Trust agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. SALE OF TRUST SHARES
1.1. The Trust agrees to sell to the Company those shares which the
Company orders on behalf of the Account, executing such orders on a daily
basis in accordance with Section 1.4 of this Agreement.
1.2. The Trust agrees to make shares available for purchase by the
Company on behalf of the Account at the then applicable net asset value per
share on Business Days as defined in Section 1.4 of this Agreement, and the
Trust shall use its best efforts to calculate and deliver such net asset
value by 7:00 p.m., New York time., on each such Business Day.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Board of Directors of the Trust (the "Trust Board") may suspend or terminate
the offering of shares, if such action is required by law or by regulatory
authorities having jurisdiction or if, in the sole discretion of the Trust
Board acting in good faith and in light of its fiduciary duties under Federal
and any applicable state laws, suspension or termination is necessary and in
the best interests of the shareholders (it being understood that
"shareholders" for this purpose shall mean Product owners).
1.3. The Trust agrees to redeem, at the Company's request, any full or
fractional shares of the Trust held by the Account or the Company, executing
such requests at the net asset value on a daily basis (Company will expect
same day redemption wires unless unusual circumstances evolve which cause the
Trust to have to redeem securities) in accordance with Section 1.4 of this
Agreement, the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the then currently
effective Trust Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust may
delay redemption of Trust shares to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, any
rules, regulations or orders thereunder, or the then currently effective
Trust Prospectus.
1.4 (a) For purposes of Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, the Company shall
be the agent of the Trust for the limited purpose of receiving
redemption and purchase requests from the Account (but not from
the general account of the Company), and receipt
on any Business Day by the Company as such limited agent of the
Trust prior to the time prescribed in the current Trust
Prospectus (which as of the date of execution of this Agreement
is 4 p.m., New York time) shall constitute receipt by the Trust
on that same Business Day, provided that the Trust receives
notice of such redemption or purchase request by 9:00 a.m., New
York time on the next following Business Day. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Business Day" shall mean any day on which the
New York Stock exchange is open for trading.
(b) The Company shall pay for the shares on the same day that
it places an order with the Trust to purchase those Trust shares
for an Account. Payment for Trust shares will be made by the
Account or the Company in Federal Funds transmitted to the Trust
by wire to be received by 11:00 a.m., New York time on the day
the Trust is properly notified of the purchase order for shares.
The Trust will confirm receipt of each trade and these
confirmations will be received by the Company via Fax or Email
by 3:00 p.m. New York time If Federal Funds are not received on
time, such funds will be invested, and shares purchased thereby
will be issued, as soon as practicable.
(c) Payment for shares redeemed by the Account or the Company
will be made in Federal Trusts transmitted to the Company by
wire on the same day the Trust is notified of the redemption
order of shares, except that the Trust reserves the right to
delay payment of redemption proceeds, but in no event may such
payment be delayed longer than the period permitted under
Section 22(e) of the 0000 Xxx. The Trust shall not bear any
responsibility whatsoever for the proper disbursement or
crediting of redemption proceeds if securities must be redeemed;
the Company alone shall be responsible for such action.
1.5. Issuance and transfer of Trust shares will be by book entry only.
Stock certificates will not be issued to the Company or the Account.
Purchase and redemption orders for Trust shares will be recorded in an
appropriate ledger for the Account or the appropriate subaccount of the
Account.
1.6. The Trust shall furnish notice as soon as reasonably practicable
to the Company of any income dividends or capital gain distributions payable
on any shares. The Company, on its behalf and on behalf of the Account,
hereby elects to receive all such dividends and distributions as are payable
on any shares in the form of additional shares of that Trust. The Company
reserves the right, on its behalf and on behalf of the Account, to revoke
this election and to receive all such dividends in cash. The Trust shall
notify the Company of the number of shares so issued as payment of such
dividends and distributions.
1.7. The Trust shall use its best efforts to make the net asset value
per share available to the Company by 7:00 p.m., New York Time each Business
Day, and in any event, as soon as reasonably practicable after the net asset
value per share is calculated, and shall calculate such net asset value in
accordance with the then currently effective Trust Prospectus. The Trust
will notify Company when and if Trust does not communicate the net asset
value per share by 7:00
p.m. New York time.
1.8 If the Trust provides the Company with materially incorrect share
net asset value information through no fault of the Company, the Company on
behalf of the Separate Accounts, shall be entitled to an adjustment to the
number of shares purchased or redeemed to reflect the correct share net asset
value. Any material error in the calculation of net asset value per share,
dividend or capital gain information shall be reported promptly upon
discovery to the Company. The Trust shall not be liable for any information
provided to the Company pursuant to this Agreement which information is based
on incorrect information supplied by the Company to the Trust. In the event
of any material error in the calculation or communication of net asset value,
dividends or capital gain information or any delay in the communication, the
responsible party or parties shall reimburse the Company for any losses or
reasonable costs incurred as a result of the error or delay, including but
not limited to, amounts needed to make Contract owners whole and reasonable
administrative costs necessary to correct the error.
1.9. The Company may withdraw the Account's investment in the Trust
only: (i) as necessary to facilitate Contract owner requests; (ii) upon a
determination by a majority of the Trust Board, or a majority of
disinterested Trust Board members, that an irreconcilable material conflict
exists among the interests of (x) any Product Owners or (y) the interests of
the Participating Insurance Companies investing in the Trust; (iii) upon
requisite vote of the Contractowners having an interest in the Trust to
substitute the shares of another investment company for shares in accordance
with the terms of the Contracts; (iv) as required by state and/or federal
laws or regulations or judicial or other legal precedent of general
application; or (v) at the Company's sole discretion, pursuant to an order of
the SEC under Section 26(b) of the 0000 Xxx.
1.10. The parties hereto acknowledge that the arrangement contemplated
by this Agreement is not exclusive and that the Trust shares may be sold to
other insurance companies (subject to Section 1.12 hereof) and the cash value
of the Contracts may be invested in other investment companies.
1.11. The Company shall not, without prior notice to the Trust (unless
otherwise required by applicable law), take any action to operate the
Accounts as management investment companies under the 0000 Xxx.
1.12. The Trust agrees that Trust shares will be sold only to
Participating Insurance Companies and their separate accounts. The Trust
will not sell Trust shares to any insurance company or separate account
unless an agreement complying with Article VII of this Agreement is in effect
to govern such sales. No Trust shares will be sold to the general public.

to whether any aspect of its operations (including, but not limited to, fees
and expenses and investment policies) otherwise complies with the insurance
laws or regulations of any state. The Company alone shall be responsible for
informing the Trust of any investment restrictions imposed by state insurance
law and applicable to the Trust.
2.7. The Trust represents and warrants that it has and maintains a
fidelity bond in accordance with Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act. The Trust

3.1. The Trust shall provide the Company with as many copies of the
current Trust Prospectus as the Company may reasonably request. If requested
by the Company in lieu thereof, the Trust at its expense shall provide to the

within 10 days of the request by the Company shall relieve the Company of the
obligation to obtain the prior written permission of the Trust.
3.5. The Company shall not give any information or make any
representations or statements on behalf of the Trust or concerning the Trust
other than the information or representations contained in the Trust
Registration Statement or Trust Prospectus, as such Registration Statement

permission on a prompt and timely basis. If the Trust does not respond
within 10 days of a request by the Company, then the Company shall be
relieved of the obligation to obtain the prior written permission of the
Trust.
3.6. The Trust shall not give any information or make any
representations on behalf of
the Company or concerning the Company, the Account or the Contracts other
than the information or representations contained in the Contracts
Registration Statement or Contracts Prospectus, as such Registration

Company, except with the prior written permission of the Company. The
Company agrees to respond to any request for permission on a prompt and
timely basis. If the Company fails to respond within 10 days of a request by

or other regulatory authorities.
3.8. The Company will provide to the Trust at least one complete copy
of all Contracts Registration Statements, Contracts Prospectuses, Statements
of Additional Information, Annual and Semi-annual Reports, sales literature
and other promotional materials, and all amendments or supplements to any of

party requests any such information before it has been filed, the other party
will provide the requested information if then available and in the version
then available at the time of such request.

pictures or other public media), sales literature (i.e., any written

Company shall:
(a) vote Trust shares attributable to Contract owners in
accordance with instructions or proxies received in timely
fashion from such Contract owners;
(b) vote Trust shares attributable to Contract owners for which
no instructions have been received in the same proportion as
Trust shares of such Series for which instructions have been
received in timely fashion; and
(c) vote Trust shares held by the Company on its own behalf or
on behalf of the Account that are not attributable to Contract
owners in the same proportion as Trust shares of such Series for

The Company shall be responsible for assuring that voting privileges for the
Accounts are calculated in a manner consistent with the provisions set forth
above.
ARTICLE V. FEES AND EXPENSES
All expenses incident to performance by the Trust under this Agreement
(including expenses expressly assumed by the Trust pursuant to this
Agreement) shall be paid by the Trust to the extent permitted by law. Except
as may otherwise be provided in Section 1.4 and Article VII of this

registration and qualification of the Trust shares under Federal and any
state securities law, preparation and filing of the Trust Prospectus and
Trust Registration Statement, the preparation of all statements and notices
required by any Federal or state securities law, all taxes on the issuance or

the Trust pursuant to a plan, if any, under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
The Trust is responsible for the cost of printing and distributing Trust
Prospectuses and SAIs to existing Contractowners. (If for this purpose the
Company decided to print the Trust Prospectuses and SAIs in a booklet or
separate booklets containing disclosure for the Contracts and for underlying
funds other than those of the Trust, then the Trust shall pay only its
proportionate share of the total cost to distribute the booklet to existing
Contractowners.)
The Company is responsible for the cost of printing and distributing
Trust prospectuses and SAIs for new sales; and Account Prospectuses and SAIs
for existing Contractowners. The
Company shall have the final decision on choice of printer for all
Prospectuses and SAIs.
ARTICLE VI. COMPLIANCE UNDERTAKINGS
6.1. The Trust undertakes to comply with Subchapter M and Section
817(h) of the Code, and all regulations issued thereunder.
6.2. The Company shall amend the Contracts Registration Statements
under the 1933 Act and the Account's Registration Statement under the 1940
Act from time to time as required in order to effect the continuous offering
of the Contracts or as may otherwise be required by applicable law. The
Company shall register and qualify the Contracts for sale to the extent
required by applicable securities laws of the various states.
6.3. The Trust shall amend the Trust Registration Statement under the
1933 Act and the 1940 Act from time to time as required in order to effect
for so long as Trust shares are sold the continuous offering of Trust shares
as described in the then currently effective Trust Prospectus. The Trust
shall register and qualify Trust shares for sale to the extent required by
applicable securities laws of the various states.
6.4. The Company shall be responsible for assuring that any prospectus
offering a Contract that is a life insurance contract where it is reasonably
possible that such Contract would be deemed a "modified endowment contract,"
as that term is defined in Section 7702A of the Code, will describe the
circumstances under which a Contract could be treated as a modified endowment
contract (or policy).
6.5. To the extent that it decides to finance distribution expenses
pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Trust undertakes to have a Trust Board of
Directors, a majority of whom are not interested persons of the Trust,
formulate and approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance distribution
expenses.
6.6. (a) When appropriate in order to inform the Trust of any
applicable state-mandated investment restrictions with which the
Trust must comply, the Company shall arrange with the Trust to
amend Schedule 3, pursuant to the requirements of Article XI.
(b) Should the Trust become aware of any restrictions which may
be appropriate for inclusion in Schedule 3, the Company shall be
informed immediately of the substance of those restrictions.
ARTICLE VII. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS
7.1. The Company agrees to report to the Board of Directors of the
Trust (the "Board") any potential or existing conflicts between the interests
of Product Owners of all separate
accounts investing in the Trust, and to assist the Board in carrying out its
responsibilities under Section 6e-3(T) of the 1940 Act, by providing all
information reasonably necessary for the Board to consider any issues raised,
including information as to a decision to disregard voting instructions of
variable contract owners.
7.2. If a majority of the Board, or a majority of disinterested Board
Members, determines that a material irreconcilable conflict exists, the Board
shall give prompt notice to all Participating Insurance Companies.
(a) If a majority of the whole Board, after notice to the Company
and a reasonable opportunity for the Company to appear before it and present
its case, determines that the Company is responsible for said conflict, and
if the Company agrees with that determination, the Company shall, at its sole
cost and expense, take whatever steps are necessary to remedy the material
irreconcilable conflict. These steps could include: (i) withdrawing the
assets allocable to some or all of the affected Accounts from the Trust and
reinvesting such assets in a different investment vehicle, or submitting the
question of whether such segregation should be implemented to a vote of all
affected Contractowners and, as appropriate, segregating the assets of any
particular group (i.e., variable annuity Contractowners, variable life
insurance policyowners, or variable Contractowners of one or more
Participating Insurance Companies) that votes in favor of such segregation,
or offering to the affected Contractowners the option of making such a
change; and (ii) establishing a new registered mutual fund or management
separate account; or (iii) taking such other action as is necessary to remedy
or eliminate the material irreconcilable conflict.
(b) If the Company disagrees with the Board's determination, the
Company shall file a written protest with the Board, reserving its right to
dispute the determination as between just the Company and the Trust and to
seek reimbursement from the Trust for the reasonable costs and expenses of
resolving the conflict. After reserving that right the Company, although
disagreeing with the Board that it (the Company) was responsible for the
conflict, shall take the necessary steps, under protest, to remedy the
conflict, substantially in accordance with paragraph (a) just above, for the
protection of Contractowners.
(c) As between the Company and the Trust, if within 45 days after
the Board's determination the Company elects to press the dispute, it shall
so notify the Board in writing. The parties shall then attempt to resolve
the matter amicably through negotiation by individuals from each party who
are authorized to settle the matter. If the matter has not been amicably
resolved within 60 days from the date of the Company's notice of its intent
to press the dispute, then before either party shall undertake to litigate
the dispute it shall be submitted to non-binding arbitration conducted
expeditiously in accordance with the CPR Rules for Non-Administered
Arbitration of Business Disputes, by a sole arbitrator; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if one party has requested the other party to seek an amicable
resolution and the
other party has failed to participate, the requesting party may initiate
arbitration before expiration of the 60-day period set out just above.
If within 45 days of the commencement of the process to select an arbitrator
the parties cannot agree upon the arbitrator, then he or she will be selected
from the CPR Panels of Neutrals. The arbitration shall be governed by the
United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sec. 1-16. The place of arbitration
shall be Fort Xxxxx, Indiana. The Arbitrator is not empowered to award
damages in excess of compensatory damages.
(d) If the Board shall determine that the Trust or another was
responsible for the conflict, then the Board shall notify the Company
immediately of that determination. The Trust shall assure the Company that
it (the Trust) or that other Participating Insurance Company as applicable,
shall, at its sole cost and expense, take whatever steps are necessary to
eliminate the conflict.
(e) Nothing in Sections 7.2(b) or 7.2(c) shall constitute a
waiver of any right of action which the Company may have against other
Participating Insurance Companies for reimbursement of all or part of the
costs and expenses of resolving the conflict.
7.3. If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because of the
Company's decision to disregard Contractowner voting instructions and that
decision represents a minority position or would preclude a majority vote,
the Company shall withdraw (without charge or penalty) the Account's
investment in the Trust, if the Trust so elects.
7.4. For purposes of this Article, a majority of the disinterested
members of the Board shall determine whether or not any proposed action
adequately remedies any irreconcilable conflict. However, in no event will
the Trust be required to establish a new funding medium for any variable
contract, nor will the Company be required to establish a new funding medium
for any Contract, if in either case an offer to do so has been declined by a
vote of a majority of affected Contractowners.
ARTICLE VIII. INDEMNIFICATION
8.1. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Trust and each person who controls or is associated
with the Trust (other than another Participating Insurance Company) within
the meaning of such terms under the federal securities laws and any officer,
trustee, director, employee or agent of the foregoing, against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (including any
investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with, and any amounts paid with the prior written consent of the Company in
settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to
which they or any of them may become subject under any statute or regulation,
at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities:
(a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Contracts
Registration Statement, Contracts Prospectus, sales literature or other
promotional material for the Contracts or the Contracts themselves (or any
amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made;
provided that this obligation to indemnify shall not apply if such statement
or omission or such alleged statement or alleged omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by the Trust (or a person authorized in writing to do so on behalf of
the Trust) for use in the Contracts Registration Statement, Contracts
Prospectus or in the Contracts or sales literature (or any amendment or
supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Contracts
or Trust shares; or
(b) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact by or on behalf of the Company
(other than statements or representations contained in the Trust Registration
Statement, Trust Prospectus or sales literature or other promotional material
of the Trust not supplied by the Company or persons under its control) or
wrongful conduct of the Company or persons under its control with respect to
the sale or distribution of the Contracts or Trust shares; or
(c) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Trust Registration Statement, Trust
Prospectus or sales literature or other promotional material of the Trust or
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, if such statement or omission was made
in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Trust by
or on behalf of the Company; or
(d) arise as a result of any failure by the Company to provide
the services and furnish the materials or to make any payments under the
terms of this Agreement; or
(e) arise out of any material breach by the Company of this
Agreement, including but not limited to any failure to transmit a request for
redemption or purchase of Trust shares on a timely basis in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Article I; or
(f) arise as a result of the Company's providing the Trust with
inaccurate information, which causes the Trust to calculate its Net Asset
Values incorrectly.
This indemnification will be in addition to any liability which the Company
may otherwise have; provided, however, that no party shall be entitled to
indemnification if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of
duty by the party seeking indemnification.

hold harmless the Company and each person who controls or is associated with
the Company within the meaning of such terms under the federal securities
laws and any officer, director, employee or agent of the foregoing, against
any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several
(including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with, and any amounts paid with the prior written consent of the
Trust in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim
asserted), to which they or any of them may become subject under any statute
or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities:
(a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Trust Registration Statement, Trust Prospectus (or any amendment
or supplement thereto) or sales literature or other promotional
material of the Trust, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
in which they were made; provided that this obligation to
indemnify shall not apply if such statement or omission or
alleged statement or alleged omission was made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished in writing by the
Company to the Trust for use in the Trust Registration
Statement, Trust Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or sales literature for the Trust or otherwise for use
in connection with the sale of the Contracts or Trust shares; or
(b) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact made by the Trust
(other than statements or representations contained in the Trust
Registration Statement, Trust Prospectus or sales literature or
other promotional material of the Trust not supplied by the
Distributor or the Trust or persons under their control) or
wrongful conduct of the Trust or persons under its control with
respect to the sale or distribution of the Contracts or Trust
shares; or
(c) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Contract's Registration
Statement, Contracts Prospectus or sales literature or other
promotional material for the Contracts (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, if such statement
or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished in
writing by the Trust to the Company (or a person authorized in
writing to do so on behalf of the Trust); or
(d) arise as a result of any failure by the Trust to provide the
services and furnish the materials under the terms of this
Agreement (including, but not by way of limitation, a failure,
whether unintentional or in good faith or otherwise: (i) to
comply with the diversification requirements specified in
Sections 2.4 and 6.1 in Article VI of this Agreement; and (ii)
to provide the Company with accurate information sufficient for
it to calculate its accumulation and/or annuity unit values in
timely fashion as required by law and by the Contracts
Prospectuses); or
(e) arise out of any material breach by the Trust of this
Agreement.
This indemnification will be in addition to any liability which the Trust may
otherwise have; provided, however, that no party shall be entitled to
indemnification if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of
duty by the party seeking indemnification.
8.3. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. After receipt by a party entitled to
indemnification ("indemnified party") under this Article VIII of notice of
the commencement of any action, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
by the indemnified party against any person obligated to provide
indemnification under this Article VIII ("indemnifying party"), such
indemnified party will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof as soon as practicable thereafter, provided that the
omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability under this Article VIII, except to the extent that the omission
results in a failure of actual notice to the indemnifying party and such
indemnifying party is damaged solely as a result of the failure to give such
notice. The indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party,
shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party
