4 (d) LBHI hereby covenants and agrees that it will indemnify, reimburse, and hold
harmless the Citibank Entities for any fees (including counsel fees incurred after
the Turnover Date), costs, expenses, fines, or other amounts incurred by, or
imposed on, the Citibank Entities resulting from the assignment of the Assigned
Claims and Subrogated Claims, including any amounts incurred by the Citibank
Entities in connection with their assisting LBHI in defending or responding to any
challenge or objection to the assignment of the Assigned Claims and Subrogated
Claims, any challenge or objection to LBHI’s asserted subrogation rights, or other
means of transferring the economic benefits of the Subrogated Claims to LBHI;
provided, however, that prior to incurring any counsel fees, the Citibank Entities
must confer in good faith and cooperate with LBHI to determine the most costeffective
means of effectuating the transfer of the economic benefit of any
challenged claims, including at LBHI’s option, providing LBHI a 100%
participation interest in such claims or otherwise transferring their economic
benefit to LBHI. Notwithstanding any provision of this Settlement Agreement to
the contrary, the Citibank Entities shall have no obligation to defend or respond to
any challenge or objection to the assignment of the Assigned Claims and
Subrogated Claims; provided, however, that if requested by LBHI, Citibank shall
use reasonable efforts to assist the Lehman Entities in enforcing any rights of
subrogation they may have with respect to the Subrogated Claims. To the extent
not paid in cash within thirty (30) days of written notice from Citibank, Citibank
shall receive an allowed administrative expense claim against LBHI in an amount
equal to the reasonable and documented fees, costs, expenses, fines, or other
amounts incurred by, or imposed on, the Citibank Entities that are indemnified by
LBHI under this Settlement Agreement.
