--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The Indemnified Party agrees that within a reasonable period of time after
it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to
this Article III, it will provide notice thereof in writing to the Indemnifying
Party specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim; provided,
however, that the Indemnified Party shall not submit claims more frequently than
once a calendar quarter (or twice in the case of the last calendar quarter prior
to the expiration of the applicable indemnity coverage under this Agreement).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party’s failure to provide notice
under this Section 3.3 will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability
hereunder with respect to such matter except in the event and only to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay or
the Indemnifying Party does not receive notice of the claim prior to the
applicable deadline for making such claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the
defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against
the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification set forth in this
Article III, including the selection of counsel (provided that if such claim
involves Covered Environmental Losses, such counsel shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party), determination of whether to appeal any
decision of any court or similar authority, performance of any Environmental
Activity associated with any Covered Environmental Losses and the settling of
any matter or any issues relating thereto; provided, however, that no such
settlement shall be entered into without the consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Indemnified Party unless
it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues,
as the case may be.

(c) The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party
with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the
indemnification set forth in this Article III, including the prompt furnishing
to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto
that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the names of the Indemnified
Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to
the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the
Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense
and the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the
Indemnified Party; provided, however, that in connection therewith the
Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact
thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of all files, records and other information
furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.3. In no event
shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying
Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as
imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in
connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set
forth in this Article III; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at
its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with
any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such counsel hired
by the Indemnified Party reasonably informed as to the status of any such
defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control
over such defense.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the
Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross
amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds
realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall
be net of any incremental insurance premium that becomes due and payable by the
Indemnified Party as a result of such claim, (ii) all amounts recovered by the
Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons and (iii) any
correlative tax benefit.

(e) NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY
PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION HEREUNDER COVER OR INCLUDE CONSEQUENTIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR SIMILAR DAMAGES OR LOST
PROFITS SUFFERED BY ANY OTHER PARTY ENTITLED TO INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT.
