6.3           Procedure.  If Lessor asserts that a Triad Entity, a New Lessee Entity and/or Manager (each an “Indemnitor) is subject to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article (a “Claim”), Lessor promptly shall notify the Indemnitor in writing of the Claim and shall describe in the notice the Claim in sufficient detail in order to permit the Indemnitor to evaluate the nature and cause of the Claim.  If the asserted Claim arises or is in connection with a claim, suit or demand filed by a third party, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to defend against the Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.  Lessor may continue to employ counsel of its own and such costs shall be borne by Indemnitor.  If the Indemnitor fails to respond or does not admit responsibility for indemnification, Lessor may take such necessary steps to defend itself and any reasonable costs associated therewith may be included as part of the asserted Claim for indemnification.  For all Claims that are not Claims arising from a third party, Indemnitor shall notify Lessor as to its assertion of whether the Claim is covered by this Article, including specific reasons for non-coverage, within 30 days of receipt of written notice from Lessor describing the Claim in reasonable detail.  Any investigations made by or on behalf of Lessor

shall not affect or limit the Indemnitor’s representations and warranties and indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

7.14         Arbitration of Disputes.  If a Controversy shall arise, the Controversy shall be determined by arbitration, which shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association by three (3) arbitrators selected in accordance with its procedures.  The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The decision of the arbitrators shall set forth in writing the basis for the decision, and in rendering such decision, the arbitrators shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement and any other agreements, documents
