Contractor must also take actions to mitigate the risk of loss and comply with any notification or other requirements imposed by law or DSHS.
Compromise Payment As to any matter disposed of (whether by a compromise payment, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication in a decision on the merits by a court, or by any other body before which the proceeding was brought, that such Covered Person either (a) did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that such Covered Person's action was in the best interests of the Trust or (b) is liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office, indemnification shall be provided if (a) approved as in the best interest of the Trust, after notice that it involves such indemnification, by at least a majority of the Trustees who are disinterested persons and are not Interested Persons (provided that a majority of such Trustees then in office act on the matter), upon a determination, based upon a review of readily available facts (but not a full trial-type inquiry) that such Covered Person acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such Covered Person's action was in the best interests of the Trust and is not liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office, or (b) there has been obtained an opinion in writing of independent legal counsel, based upon a review of readily available facts (but not a full trial-type inquiry) to the effect that such Covered Person appears to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such Covered Person's action was in the best interests of the Trust and that such indemnification would not protect such Covered Person against any liability to the Trust to which such Covered Person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. Any approval pursuant to this Section shall not prevent the recovery from any Covered Person of any amount paid to such Covered Person in accordance with this Section as indemnification if such Covered Person is subsequently adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such Covered Person's action was in the best interests of the Trust or to have been liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office.
Notice by Indemnitee Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with or otherwise receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company.
Claims Initiated by Indemnitee To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee, except with respect to an action, suit or proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification (which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 8(b) of this Agreement), unless such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
Defense by Indemnifying Party In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding (i) if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim (subject to any limitations on such liability contained in this Agreement) and (ii) if it provides assurances, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, that it will be financially able to satisfy such claims in full if the same are decided adversely. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, it may use counsel of its choice to prosecute such defense, subject to the approval of such counsel by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party, in its sole discretion, determines that there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party (or any constituent party thereof) and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party (or any constituent party thereof) shall have the right to engage separate counsel, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be paid by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary to pursue the resolution thereof in a prompt and diligent manner. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to consent to a settlement of, or the stipulation of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required from the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party pays or causes to be paid all Losses arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the effectiveness thereof (as well as all other Losses theretofore incurred by the Indemnified Party which then remain unpaid or unreimbursed), (ii) in the case of a settlement, the settlement is conditioned upon a complete release by the claimant of the Indemnified Party and (iii) such settlement or judgment does not require the encumbrance of any asset of the Indemnified Party or impose any restriction upon its conduct of business.
Services by Indemnitee Indemnitee will serve as a director or officer of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any independent obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any other entity) and Indemnitee.
Service by Indemnitee The Indemnitee will serve and/or continue to serve as a director or officer of the Company faithfully and to the best of the Indemnitee’s ability so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed and until such time as the Indemnitee is removed, terminated, or tenders a resignation.
Settlement or Compromise Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Person (unless the Indemnifying Person has the exclusive right to settle or compromise under Section 8.6) or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in Section 8.6 shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, that (a) no obligation, restriction or Loss shall be imposed on the Indemnified Person as a result of any settlement or compromise without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (b) if the Indemnifying Person has assumed the defense of a claim, suit, action or proceeding pursuant to Section 8.6, the Indemnified Person shall not compromise or settle such claim, suit, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (c) such settlement shall not contain any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any fault on the part of the Indemnified Person, and shall not have any effect on any other claims that may be made by the Indemnified Person against the third party bringing the claim, suit, action or proceeding.
Defense and Settlement of Third Party Claims The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (without prejudice to the right of any Indemnified Party to participate at its or his own expense through counsel of its or his own choosing) to defend against any Third Party Claim at its or his expense and through counsel of its or his own choosing and to control such defense if the Indemnifying Party gives written notice of its or his intention to do so within 15 business days of its or his receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully in all reasonable respects in the defense of such Third Party Claim and shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or its or his counsel all pertinent information under their control relating thereto. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to elect to settle any Third Party Claim; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not have any indemnification obligation with respect to any monetary payment to any third party required by such settlement unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to elect to settle any Third Party Claim subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party fails to give such consent within 15 business days of being requested to do so, the Indemnified Party shall, at its expense, assume the defense of such Third Party Claim and regardless of the outcome of such matter, the Indemnifying Party's liability hereunder shall be limited to the amount of any such proposed settlement. The foregoing provisions notwithstanding, in no event (a) may either Indemnifying Party adjust, compromise or settle any Third Party Claim unless such adjustment, compromise or settlement unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all liability, (b) may the Company Indemnifying Party adjust, compromise or settle any Third Party Claim if such adjustment, compromise or settlement affects the absolute and sole right of Provant or the Surviving Corporation to own or use any of the Company's assets or (c) may the Company Indemnifying Party defend any Third Party Claim which, if adversely determined, would materially impair the financial condition, business or prospects of Provant or the Surviving Corporation.
