Right to Participate The indemnified party agrees to afford the indemnifying party and its counsel the opportunity to be present at, and to participate in, conferences with all persons, including Governmental Authorities, asserting any Indemnity Claim against the indemnified party or conferences with representatives of or counsel for such persons.
Right to Participate in Defense Without limiting Section 10.3.2(a), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party's own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying Party in writing or (ii) the indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 10.3.2(a) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense).
Election to Participate Participation in the DROP program is irrevocable once an employee begins participation. An employee who wishes to participate in the DROP shall complete and sign such application form or forms as shall be required by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners. Such application shall be reviewed by the Human Resources Department within a reasonable time period and make a determination as to the member’s eligibility for participation in the DROP. On the date upon which the member’s participation in the DROP shall be effective, he/she shall be considered to be a DROP participant and shall cease to be an active member of the Macomb County Employees Retirement System. The amount of credited service, multiplier and final average compensation shall be fixed as of the employee’s DROP date. When an employee’s Final Average Compensation is calculated, any retroactive wages provided shall be counted as if the retroactive wages were paid to the employee when the wages were earned, not when they were received by the employee. Increases or decreases in compensation during DROP participation will not be factored into retirement benefits of active or former DROP participants. DROP participants accrue no service time credit for retirement purposes pursuant to the Macomb County Employees Retirement System. Upon execution of this agreement by the UAW, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx 00 and the County of Macomb, employees who are represented by the UAW, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx 00 and who qualify for DROP participation may file the appropriate application forms with an effective DROP date no sooner than (Expressly contingent upon ratification by the Full Board of Commissioners on December 15, 2005) January 1, 2006.

Opportunity To Consult With Independent Advisors The Executive acknowledges that he or she has been afforded the opportunity to consult with independent advisors of his choosing including, without limitation, accountants or tax advisors and counsel regarding both the benefits granted to him under the terms of this Agreement and the (i) terms and conditions which may affect the Executive's right to these benefits and (ii) personal tax effects of such benefits including, without limitation, the effects of any federal or state taxes, Section 280G of the Code, and any other taxes, costs, expenses or liabilities whatsoever related to such benefits, which in any of the foregoing instances the Executive acknowledges and agrees shall be the sole responsibility of the Executive notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Bank shall have no liability whatsoever related to any such personal tax effects or other personal costs, expenses, or liabilities applicable to the Executive and further specifically waives any right for himself or herself, and his or her heirs, beneficiaries, legal representatives, agents, successor and assign to claim or assert liability on the part of the Bank related to the matters described above in this Section 9.13.

Right to Monitor and Participate An Indemnitee that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c) shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8, such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party, at the non-controlling Party’s expense, all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnitee shall in good faith determine that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for all Indemnitees.
