Subject to Sections 2.1(b) and (c), each Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, pay its Pro Rata Share of any Indemnification Expense in Federal (immediately available) funds no later than five Business Days after the receipt by such Shareholder, pursuant to Section 2.1(b), of written notice of any claim for Indemnification Expenses.
(b) The Trustees shall give notice to, or cause notice to be given to, each Shareholder in writing of any claim for Indemnification Expenses or any threatened claim for Indemnification Expenses immediately upon their acquiring knowledge of such claim. Such written notice shall be accompanied by any demand, xxxx, invoice or other communication received from any third party claimant (a “Claimant”) in respect of such Indemnification Expense.
(c) The Trust agrees that each Shareholder may contest in good faith with any Claimant its Pro Rata Share of any amount contained in any claim for Indemnification Expense, provided that if, within such time period as the Trust shall determine to be reasonable, such Shareholder and such Claimant are unable to resolve amicably any disagreement regarding such claim for Indemnification Expense, such Shareholder shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trust to represent the Trust in any resulting proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. It is understood that each Shareholder shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel). If more than one Shareholder retains the same counsel for the Trust, each such Shareholder shall be liable for its Pro Rata Share of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. No Shareholder shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding that was finalized without such Shareholder’s written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the Claimant, such Shareholder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify the Trustees and the Trust from and against such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
