Compensation and Indemnification The Company agrees promptly to pay the Warrant Agent the compensation to be agreed upon with the Company for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Warrant Agent in connection with the services rendered hereunder by the Warrant Agent. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Warrant Agent, arising out of or in connection with its acting as Warrant Agent hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim of such liability.
Compensation and Indemnity The Company, Holdings and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company, Holdings and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Company, Holdings and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Offer has received notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company, Holdings and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The obligations of the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge and the termination of this Indenture. To secure the Company’s, Holdings’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge and the termination of this Indenture. In addition, and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.
Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance (a) From and after the Purchase Date, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the individuals who at or prior to the Purchase Date were directors or officers of the Company or subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the "Indemnitees") with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such or taken at the request of the Company or such subsidiaries at any time prior to the Purchase Date, to the fullest extent (A) permitted by the Company Charter Documents and the Subsidiary Documents of such subsidiaries as currently in effect and (B) permitted under applicable Law.
(b) An Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing promptly upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or other matter in respect of which such indemnification may be sought, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 4.7 except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of, including the investigation of, and corrective action required to be undertaken in response to, any litigation, claim or proceeding (each, a "Claim") relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 4.7 with counsel selected by the Company, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee (and, if the Company shall have assumed such defense, it shall not be liable for the fees or expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnitee); provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Claim at his or her own expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be liable for any settlement or compromise effected without its written consent.
(c) In the event any Claim is asserted or made, any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnitee's conduct complies with the standards set forth under applicable Law, the applicable Company Charter Documents and Subsidiary Documents as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided that nothing in this Section 4.7 shall impair any rights of any current or former director or officer of the Company or such subsidiaries, including pursuant to the respective Company Charter Documents and the Subsidiary Documents of such subsidiaries, under applicable Law or otherwise.
(d) Each of the Company and the Indemnitees shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 4.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 4.7 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 4.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4.7). The provisions of this Section 4.7 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.
(f) In the event that the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 4.7.
Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification (a) Following the Closing, Seller shall renew for a period of at least six (6) years from the Closing Date any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or fiduciary liability insurance covering the directors and officers of Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement (each, an “Existing Policy”), which renewal shall provide substantially the same kind and quality of coverage. Seller shall not terminate or agree to terminate any Existing Policy, or fail to renew or pay any premiums due under any Existing Policy unless, in either case, Seller obtains a replacement policy from an insurance carrier with the same or a better credit rating than the insurance carrier under such Existing Policy with benefits and levels of coverage substantially as favorable as such Existing Policy. Seller shall notify Acquiror at least five (5) Business Days prior to terminating or not renewing any Existing Policy and shall provide any documentation reasonably requested by Acquiror to demonstrate Seller’s compliance with the first sentence of this Section 6.1(a). Following the Closing, Seller shall cooperate with, and take all actions reasonably requested by, Acquiror, Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors, officers or employees in order to permit such Persons to make and pursue any claims of such Persons under Seller’s insurance policies, to the extent such policies cover directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or fiduciary liability insurance, and Seller shall not take any action to withhold coverage of such Persons.
(b) In the event Seller (or any of its successors or assigns) (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Seller shall purchase a run-off insurance policy to provide similar coverage provided by the insurance policies provided for in Section 6.1(a), which shall cover any remaining portion of the six (6) year period following the Closing Date.
Director and Officer Liability (a) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless the present and former officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the heirs executors and administrators of such persons (the "Indemnified Parties") in respect of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time or arising out of or pertaining to any Indemnified Person having been an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent provided under the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws in effect on the date hereof (and shall pay expenses in advance of the disposition of any action with respect to any such matters to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, upon receipt from the person to whom expenses are advanced of the undertaking to repay such advances contemplated by Section 145(e) of the DGCL); provided that such indemnification shall be subject to any mandatory limitation imposed from time to time under applicable law. Parent and Surviving Corporation shall not amend the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to amend the indemnification or exculpation provisions therein in a manner inconsistent with this Section or otherwise adverse to the Indemnified Parties for the six-year period referred to above. For six years after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to use its best efforts to provide officers' and directors' liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company's officers' and directors' liability insurance policy on terms substantially similar to those of such policy in effect on the date hereof and from an insurer or insurers having claims paying ratings of at least Best A+, provided that in satisfying its obligation under this Section, Parent shall not be obligated to cause the Surviving Corporation to pay annual premiums in excess of $250,000 per annum, and if the Surviving Corporation is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section, it shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to such maximum amount.
(b) The Indemnified Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section to the extent such provisions benefit any such Indemnified Party.
