Company Indemnification The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 11(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be delayed or withheld; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above, provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
Director and Officer Indemnification (a) It is understood and agreed that all rights to indemnification, expense advancement, and exculpation existing in favor of each present and former director, officer and employee of Clearwire or any of its Subsidiaries as provided in Clearwire’s Certificate of Incorporation or Clearwire’s Bylaws or the charter or organizational documents of Clearwire’s Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or under any other agreements in effect on the date hereof, will survive the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Surviving Entity will, and NewCo will cause the Surviving Entity to,
(i) continue in full force and effect for a period of at least 6 years from the Effective Time (or, if any relevant claim is asserted or made within such six year period, until final disposition of such claim) such rights to indemnification and
(ii) perform, in a timely manner, the Surviving Entity’s obligation with respect thereto. Any claims for indemnification under this Section 10.6 as to which the Surviving Entity has received written notice before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time will survive, whether or not those claims will have been finally adjudicated or settled, and no action taken during such period may be deemed to diminish the obligations set forth in this Section 10.6.
(b) The Surviving Entity will, maintain in effect for 6 years from the Effective Time the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies applicable to Clearwire and its Subsidiaries (“D&O Insurance”) (except the Surviving Entity may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not less favorable) providing coverage with respect to matters occurring before the Effective Time and such policies or endorsements must name as insureds thereunder all present and former directors, officers and employees of Clearwire and its Subsidiaries, except that in no event will the Surviving Entity be required to expend under this Section 10.6(b) more than an amount per year equal to two hundred percent (200%) of current annual premiums paid by Clearwire for that insurance. If, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Surviving Entity would be required to expend more than two hundred percent (200%) of current annual premiums, the Surviving Entity will obtain the maximum amount of that insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to two hundred percent (200%) of current annual premiums. To the extent that a “tail” policy is available that complies with the foregoing requirements of this Section 10.6(b) with respect to the coverage, terms, and conditions applicable to all present and former directors, officers and employees of Clearwire and its Subsidiaries the Surviving Entity may satisfy its obligation under this Section 10.6(b) by obtaining such policy. If the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns
(i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of that consolidation or merger or
(ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Entity will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 10.6.
Indemnification/Hold Harmless As a separate and independent covenant from CONTRACTOR’s obligations under Section 22 hereof, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, protect, defend with counsel acceptable to the CITY, and hold CITY and CITY’s officers, employees, agents, and volunteers harmless and free from any and all claims, liabilities, or expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising out of or relating to any negligent act, negligent omission, or wrongful conduct, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), related in any way to CONTRACTOR’s performance of its services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event CITY and/or any of CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers are named in any lawsuit, or should any claim be made against it or any of them by lawsuit or otherwise arising out of or relating to such negligent act, negligent omission, wrongful conduct, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), CONTRACTOR shall indemnify them for any judgment rendered against them for such negligent act, negligent omission, wrongful act, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise, and all costs incurred by them in their defense, including but not limited to attorney’s fees. XXXXXXXXXX also understands and agrees that it is being employed to perform the services provided for by this Agreement because of CONTRACTOR’s professed expertise and experience in performing such services. In addition, CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that while CITY or CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers may elect to do so, they have no duty to review, inspect, monitor, or supervise the work performed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement except as otherwise expressly provided for by this Agreement. As a consequence, CONTRACTOR waives any right of contribution against CITY or any of CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers arising out of such failure to inspect, review, monitor, or supervise the work performed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement. CONTRACTOR’s obligations under this Section of the Agreement shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
Exculpation and Indemnification of Escrow Agent 9.1. The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act. The Escrow Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker, guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person to perform such person's obligations under such document. Except for amendments to this Agreement referred to below, and except for instructions given to the Escrow Agent by the Company and the subscribers relating to the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall not be obligated to recognize any agreement between any and all of the persons referred to herein, notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and whether or not it has knowledge thereof.
9.2. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. The Escrow Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained), which is believed by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Escrow Agreement or any of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent, as applicable, signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto.
9.3. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights of the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Except as specifically provided for herein, the Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the use or application of any funds or other property paid or delivered by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any loss which may be incurred by reason of any investment of any monies which it holds hereunder provided the Escrow Agent, as applicable, has complied with the provisions of Section 2 hereunder.
9.4. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to assume in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the proper person or persons that a fact or an event by reason of which an action would or might be taken by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, does not exist or has not occurred, without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance upon such assumption.
9.5. To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the investment of funds held hereunder or any payment made hereunder, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, may pay such taxes. The Escrow Agent, as applicable, may withhold from any payment of monies held by it hereunder such amount as the Escrow Agent, as applicable, estimates to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes not yet paid, and may use the sum withheld for that purpose. The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless against any liability for taxes and for any penalties or interest in respect of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in Section 9.6.
9.6. The Escrow Agent will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Escrow Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, hereunder, the monies or other property held by it hereunder or any income earned from investment of such monies; provided, that such expenses or loss are not as a result of the Escrow Agent, as applicable, acting, or omitting to take action, in bad faith or with willful misconduct or gross negligence promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, notify the Company thereof in writing, but the failure by the Escrow Agent, as applicable, to give such notice shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Escrow Agent hereunder. For the purposes hereof, the term "expense or loss" shall include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability, or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled with the express written consent of the Escrow Agent, and all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred in investigating or defending against any such claims, demand, action, suit or proceeding.
Purchaser’s Indemnification Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Company and each of the Company's officers, directors, agents, affiliates, control persons and principal shareholders, at all times against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Company which results, arises out of or is based upon: (i) any misrepresentation by Purchaser or breach of any warranty by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or any Related Agreement; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Purchaser of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by Purchaser hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser relating hereto.
Buyer’s Indemnification Buyer will indemnify and hold Seller and Seller's directors, officers, and employees harmless against any Damages incurred or suffered by Seller or affiliate of Seller as a result of or arising from (i) the incorrectness or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Buyer contained in this Agreement or given on the Closing Date; or (ii) any Assumed Liability.
Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification (a) From and for six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and other expenses of investigation or litigation, including on appeal), claims, damages or liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in their capacity as present and former officers, directors and employees to the full extent permitted or required under the FBCA (including Section 607.0850 and A-21 subsection (7) thereof) or other applicable state Law and shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under the FBCA (including Section 607.0850 and subsection (7) thereof) or other applicable state Law, provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides, if requested, the undertaking to repay such advances under the circumstances contemplated by the FBCA. Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”), existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or resolutions of their Boards of Directors, as in effect as of the date hereof, with respect to matters occurring prior to and through the Effective Time, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects such indemnification obligations in accordance with their terms. Subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law, the provisions with respect to indemnification set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any claim is brought against any Indemnified Party (whether arising before or after the Effective Time) after the Effective Time (i) such Indemnified Party may retain counsel satisfactory to it (subject to approval by Parent and the Surviving Corporation, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for such Indemnified Party promptly as statements therefor are received, and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation will use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter, provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected without its written consent, which consent, however, shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.03, upon learning of any such Claim, shall notify Parent (but the failure so to notify Parent shall not relieve it from any liability for indemnification under this Section 6.03 which it may have except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Parent), and shall deliver to Parent, upon request, the undertaking, if any, contemplated by the FBCA in connection with the advance of expenses. To the extent that a Claim is brought against more than one Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is, in the opinion of counsel to an Indemnified Party, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties.
(c) Immediately prior to the Effective Time the Company shall, at the direction of the Parent, purchase a non-cancelable extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s officers and directors (the “Tail Policy”) in the same form as presently maintained by the Company, which shall provide such officers and directors with coverage until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) with not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not less favorable to the coverage presently maintained by the Company; provided, however, that Parent shall have the right to shop the insurance policy through their own insurance agent and cause the Company to purchase the insurance policy through the Parent’s insurance agent if the policy can be purchased at a lower cost to the Company; provided, however, that Company may engage a qualified insurance consultant to confirm that such Tail Policy satisfies the above criteria; and, provided further, that Parent shall not be required to pay for the Tail Period, if the aggregate annual premium for the Tail Policy is in excess of two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium for the existing policy. In the event the premium for the Tail Policy exceeds two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium for the existing policy the amount of coverage of the Tail Policy shall be reduced to the greatest amount of coverage that can be obtained for any annual premium for the existing policy. A copy of the proposed policy shall be provided to the Parent by the Company at least five (5) business days prior to Closing. A copy of a binder for such policy shall be provided to the Company prior to Closing. A-22
(d) This Section 6.03 shall survive the consummation of the Merger at the Effective Time, shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the Indemnified Parties, is intended to benefit the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns and shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation.
Seller’s Indemnification Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, after recording, the Buyer shall accept the Property AS IS, WHERE IS, with all defects, latent or otherwise. Neither Seller nor their licensed real estate agent(s) or any other agent(s) of the Seller, shall be bound to any representation or warranty of any kind relating in any way to the Property or its condition, quality or quantity, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or any property disclosure, which contains representations of the Seller only, and which is based upon the best of the Seller’s personal knowledge.
Employee Indemnification In any claims against Huron Valley Schools, its departments, agencies, commissions, officers, employees, and agents, by any employee of the Contractor or any of its subcontractors, the indemnification obligation will not be limited in any way by the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or any of its subcontractors under worker's disability compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts. This indemnification clause is intended to be comprehensive. Any overlap in provisions, or the fact that greater specificity is provided as to some categories of risk, is not intended to limit the scope of indemnification under any other provisions.
Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification (a) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall ensure that Newco, the Company and the Sold Subsidiaries do not, amend, repeal or modify any provision in Newco's, the Company's or the Sold Subsidiaries' certificate of incorporation or bylaws relating to the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses of any officers and directors in any way that diminishes or adversely affects the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses provided therein as it applies to any Persons serving in such capacity prior to the Closing Date (unless required by law), it being the intent of the parties that the officers and directors of Newco, the Company and the Sold Subsidiaries who were officers and directors prior to the Closing (each, a "D&O Indemnified Person") shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses to the full extent provided for under Newco's, the Company's and the Sold Subsidiaries' certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other applicable organizational documents as of immediately prior to the Closing.
(b) In addition to the other rights provided for in this Section 7.06 and not in limitation thereof, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause Newco, the Company and the Sold Subsidiaries (each, a "D&O Indemnifying Party") to, to the fullest extent permitted under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other applicable organizational documents, (i) indemnify and hold harmless (and release from any liability to Buyer, Newco, the Company or the Sold Subsidiaries) the D&O Indemnified Persons against all D&O Expenses (as defined below), losses, claims, damages, judgments or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, "D&O Costs") in respect of any Threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, based on or arising out or relating to the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of Newco, the Company or the Sold Subsidiaries and arising out of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing (including in respect of acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) (a "D&O Indemnifiable Claim") and (ii) advance to such D&O Indemnified Persons all D&O Expenses incurred in connection with any D&O Indemnifiable Claim (including in circumstances where the D&O Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such claim) promptly after receipt of reasonably detailed statements therefor; provided, however, that the D&O Indemnified Person to whom D&O Expenses are to be advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such D&O Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification. Any D&O Indemnifiable Claims shall continue until such D&O Indemnifiable Claim is disposed of or all judgments, orders, decrees or other rulings in connection with such D&O Indemnifiable Claim are fully satisfied. For the purposes of this Section 7.06(b), "D&O Expenses" means attorneys' fees and all other costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in any D&O Indemnifiable Claim, in each case solely to the extent such amounts would be subject to indemnification, reimbursement or advancement under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other applicable organizational documents, but shall exclude losses, claims, damages, judgments or amounts paid in settlement (which items are, for the avoidance of doubt, included in the definition of D&O Costs).
