Compensation Claims (a) The Employer agrees to cooperate toward the prompt disposition of employee on-the-job injury claims. The Employer shall provide worker’s compensation protection for all employees even though not required by state law, or the equivalent thereof, if the injury arose out of or in the course of employment. No employee will be disciplined or threatened with discipline as a result of filing an on-the-job injury report. The Employer or its designee shall not visit an injured worker at his/her home, at a hospital or any location outside the employee’s home terminal without his/her consent. (b) At the time an injury report is turned in, the Employer shall provide the injured employee with an information sheet briefly outlining the procedure for submitting a worker’s compensation claim to include the name, address and phone number of the company’s worker’s compensation representative and other pertinent information relative to claim payment. (c) An employee who is injured on the job, and is sent home, or to a hospital, or who must obtain medical attention, shall receive pay at the applicable hourly rate for the balance of his/her regular shift on that day. An employee who has returned to his/her regular duties after sustaining a compensable injury who is required by the worker’s compensation doctor to receive additional medical treatment during his/her regularly scheduled working hours shall receive his/her regular hourly rate of pay for such time. Where not prohibited by state law, employees who sustain occupational injury or illness shall be allowed to select a physician of their own choice and shall notify the Employer in writing of such physician. (d) Road drivers sustaining an injury while being transported in company-provided transportation for Company purposes at a layover terminal shall be considered as having been injured on the job. (e) In the event that an employee sustains an occupational illness or injury while on a run away from his/her home terminal, the Employer shall provide transportation by bus, train, plane, or automobile to his/her home terminal if and when directed by a doctor. (f) The Employer agrees to provide any employee injured locally transportation at the time of injury, from the job to the medical facility and return to the job, or to his/her home if required. (g) In the event of a fatality arising in the course of employment, while away from the home terminal, the Employer shall return the deceased to his/her home at the point of domicile. (h) The Employer may publish reasonable safety rules and procedures and provide the Local Union with a copy. Failure to observe such reasonable rules and/or procedures shall subject the employee to disciplinary action in accordance with the disciplinary procedures in the applicable Supplemental Agreement. However, the time limitation relative to prior offenses shall be waived to permit consideration of the employee’s entire record of failure to observe reasonable safety rules and/or procedures resulting in lost time personal injuries. This provision does not apply to vehicular accidents. When issuing progressive discipline under the terms and conditions of Article 14 Section 1(h), it is understood that the time limitation relative to prior offenses of failure to observe reasonable safety rules and/or procedures resulting in lost time injuries is waived and may be included in the disciplinary process. However it is also understood that when an the employer Employer issues progressive discipline, the employer shall not utilize prior discipline that is in excess of three (3) years old when issuing additional progressive discipline, unless the employee has shown a pattern of failure to observe reasonable safety rules and/or procedures resulting in lost time injuries.

Indemnification Claims (a) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 7.1 or 7.2 in respect of, arising out of or involving, a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claims, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by the Indemnified Party) within 20 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim (a "Claim Notice"); provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 7.1 or 7.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within 10 Business Days after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim. (b) The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof (at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party notice of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 15 days of receipt of the applicable Claim Notice, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay damages that could reasonably be expected to arise from such Third Party Claim, and (iii) such counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 7.3 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or of assistance as contemplated by this Section 7.3; provided that (1) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, that it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel due to actual or potential conflicts of interest, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel (limited to one law firm) to represent it and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, and (2) the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give the Claim Notice as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense (except as otherwise provided herein), separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement that the claims made in that Third Party Claim are within the scope and subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. The indemnification required by Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be, shall be made by prompt payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or the indemnifiable Loss is incurred. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the parties hereto reasonably necessary for such defense or prosecution shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof, which cooperation shall include (upon the Indemnifying Party's reasonable request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided that, without the Indemnified Party's consent, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (x) that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or (y) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). (c) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement other than in respect of, arising out of or involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claims, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by the Indemnified Party); provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 7.1 or 7.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
