Dear Mr. Brown:
SUBJECT: Vehicle/Liability
This will confirm that the Employer will, subject to this letter, waive its
claim against any employee in the bargaining unit for reimbursement of damages
paid by it to a third party for bodily injury, death or property damage caused
by an accident involving a motor vehicle owned or rented by the Employer and
driven by the employee in the normal course of performing his/her duties.
The Employer agrees to indemnify an employee in the bargaining unit against
any liability imposed upon him/her, by a court of competent jurisdiction, to pay
any damages arising from bodily injury, death or property damage suffered by a
third party and caused by an accident which occurs while the employee is driving
a motor vehicle owned or rented by the Employer, while in the normal course of
performing his/her duties. No employee in the bargaining unit will be eligible
for such indemnification, unless he/she has, prior to the occurrence of such an
accident, executed and delivered to the Employer, an instrument in writing in a
form acceptable to the Employer, having the following effect:
1. constituting and appointing the Employer as irrevocable attorney to appear
and defend in any court of competent jurisdiction in which an action is brought
against him/her claiming damages allegedly arising out of such an accident, and
2. authorizing the Employer to conduct all negotiations in respect of such
damages and to effect any settlement relating to the payment thereof.
None of the undertakings described in this letter will apply where the
accident occurred while the employee was driving a vehicle owned or rented by
the Employer outside the scope of his/her employment.
This Letter of Understanding will expire on December 31, 2006.
