If such changes will have a material adverse impact on Manager or otherwise require Manager to devote significant resources or incur significant costs or expenses, Manager shall promptly notify Sutton Bank in writing or via e-mail and Manager and Sutton Bank shall meet in good faith to mutually agree upon a resolution. If Manager and Sutton Bank cannot so agree on a resolution, then Manager or Sutton Bank may terminate the applicable Program by providing the other Party with written notice no later than [***] following such the date of such meeting or other date as mutually agreed upon by the Parties.

(A) Manager acknowledges and agrees that Sutton Bank’s decision whether to approve or reject any entity that is under consideration to become a Distributor or Third Party Service Provider, and whether to continue permitting any Distributor, Marketer or Third Party Service Provider to participate in the Program, shall be final and that Sutton Bank may direct Manager to terminate any Distributor, Marketer or Third Party Service Provider with respect to the Programs in the event that, in Sutton Bank’s commercially reasonable judgment, such Distributor, Marketer or Third Party Service Provider could expose Sutton Bank to legal, financial, or reputational risk, risk of lawsuit or Criticism, otherwise engages in types of businesses or conduct that is inconsistent with Sutton Bank’s corporate philosophies or risk tolerance, or, in the case of a Third Party Service Provider, fails to perform to reasonable industry standards.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY
(A) Notice. If any Claim is commenced that may give rise to a right of indemnification, or any knowledge is received of a state of facts which, if not corrected, may give rise to a right of indemnification, the indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party. The failure to give such notice shall not, however, relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification obligations except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually harmed thereby.
(B) Right to Defend Claim. The indemnifying party shall have the right to defend any such Claim in its name and at its expense, shall select the counsel for the defense of such Claim as approved by the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall cooperate with the indemnified party in the conduct of the defense against such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not have the right to defend any such Claim if (i) it fails to employ appropriate counsel approved by indemnified party to assume the defense of such Claim or refuses to replace such counsel upon the indemnified party’s reasonable request; (ii) the indemnified party advises the indemnifying party that there are issues which could raise possible conflicts of interest between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party or that the indemnified party has claims or defenses that are separate from or in addition to the claims or defenses of the indemnifying party; or (ii) such Claim seeks an injunction or cease and desist order; provided further, that Manager may not, as an indemnifying party or otherwise, defend against a Claim or select the counsel for the defense of a Claim if the Claim was brought by a Regulatory Authority. If the Parties are unable to resolve the issue, then the matter will be resolved in accordance with Section 12.2. In each such case set forth in this Section 11.5, the indemnified party shall have the right to direct the defense of the Claim and retain its own counsel, and the indemnifying party shall pay the cost of such defense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
(C) Indemnifying Party Election. If the indemnifying party elects and is entitled to compromise or defend such Claim it shall within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so, and the indemnified party shall, at the expense of the indemnifying party, cooperate in the defense of such Claim. In such case, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Claim with counsel selected by it. Except as provided in this Article, the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party.
(D) Indemnifying Party Obligation. The indemnifying party shall have no obligation to pay the monetary amount of the settlement of any Claim entered into by the indemnified party without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s right to direct the defense against any Claim, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to compromise or enter into an agreement settling any claim, suit, demand or action without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

“(Q) Non-English Languages. Manager shall not advertise, solicit, offer, market, promote, or negotiate any of the Approved Programs in any language other than English (“Non-English Language”), except for those Approved Programs that have been approved to be advertised, solicited, offered, marketed, promoted, or negotiated in a specific Non-English Language. Approval of the offering of an Approved Program in a Non-English Language must be noted in the Approved Program’s approved Fact Sheet or otherwise approved in writing by Sutton Bank, and, prior to advertising, soliciting, offering, marketing, promoting, or negotiating an Approved Program in a Non-English Language, Manager must receive written approval from Sutton Bank’s Compliance and Legal Departments before deploying Non-English Language Program Materials for the applicable Approved Program. Sutton Bank’s approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, and Manager agrees such approval may be communicated electronically. Following the approval of an offering of an Approved Program in a Non-English Language Sutton Bank may, upon the provision of written notice to Manager, withdraw or modify its prior approval of the offering of the Approved Program in a Non-English Language if it reasonably and in good faith determines that such withdrawal or modification is necessary to comply with Applicable Law or per the request of a Regulatory Authority.
