Third Party Indemnification The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has or may from time to time obtain certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more third parties (collectively, the “Third-Party Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Third-Party Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), and that the Company will not assert that the Indemnitee must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from any Third-Party Indemnitor before the Company must perform its expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Agreement. No advancement or payment by the Third-Party Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing. The Third-Party Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery which Indemnitee would have had against the Company if the Third-Party Indemnitors had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of Indemnitee. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Third-Party Indemnitors are not entitled to the subrogation rights described in the preceding sentence, the Third-Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution by the Company to the Third-Party Indemnitors with respect to any advance or payment by the Third-Party Indemnitors to or on behalf of the Indemnitee.
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.
Cooperation by the Indemnified Party The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in defending against a Third-Party Claim. In connection with any fact, matter, event or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall ensure that each relevant member of the Indemnified Party’s Group: (i) shall preserve all material evidence relevant to the claim to the extent within the control of the Indemnified Party’s Group, (ii) shall allow the Indemnifying Party to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim, and (iii) shall (at the Indemnified Party’s expense) disclose to the Indemnifying Party all material of which it is aware which relates to the claim and provide, and procure that any other relevant members of the Indemnified Party’s Group shall provide (at the Indemnified Party’s expense), all such information and assistance, including reasonable access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, subject to the Indemnifying Party agreeing in such form as the Indemnified Party may reasonably require to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Indemnified Party to disclose any documents or information that may be reasonably expected to result in a violation of applicable Law or the loss or waiver of any attorney-client, work product or similar legal privilege; provided further that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall work in good faith to put in place appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements to permit such disclosure without such violation, loss or waiver.
Licensee Indemnification Licensee will indemnify, defend and hold harmless UM, its trustees, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, action, claim or expense suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties which results from or arises out of third party claims in connection with (individually, a “Liability” and collectively, the “Liabilities”):
(a) breach by Licensee of any duty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or a lawsuit, action, or claim brought by any third party that includes any allegation which, if proven true, would constitute a breach by Licensee of any duty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;
(b) the development, use, manufacture, promotion, sale, distribution or other disposition of any Products by Licensee, its Affiliates, assignees, vendors or other third parties, for personal injury, including death, or property damage arising from any of the foregoing. The indemnification obligation under Article 6.3 shall not apply to any contributory negligence or product liability of the Indemnified Party which may have occurred prior to the execution of this Agreement. Licensee will indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any Liabilities resulting from:
(i) any product liability or other claim of any kind related to the use by a third party of a Product that was manufactured, sold, distributed or otherwise disposed by Licensee, its Affiliates, assignees, vendors or other third parties;
(ii) clinical trials or studies conducted by or on behalf of Licensee relating to any Products, including, without limitation, any claim by or on behalf of a human subject of any such clinical trial or study, any claim arising from the procedures specified in any protocol used in any such clinical trial or study, any claim of deviation, authorized or unauthorized, from the protocols of any such clinical trial or study, any claim resulting from or arising out of the manufacture or quality control by a third party of any substance administered in any clinical trial or study;
(iii) Licensee’s failure to comply with all prevailing laws, rules and regulations pertaining to the development, testing, manufacture, marketing and import or export of Products.
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.
Notice and Cooperation by Indemnitee Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his/her right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement, provided that the delay of Indemnitee to give notice hereunder shall not prejudice any of Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless such delay results in the Company’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. Notice to the Company shall be given in accordance with Section F.7 below. If, at the time of receipt of such notice, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice to its insurers of the Proceeding relating to the notice. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary and desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all Expenses payable as a result of such Proceeding. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably request.
The Indemnified Person (a) shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of the Claim promptly after becoming aware thereof (including a statement of facts known to the Indemnified Person related to the Claim and an estimate of the amount thereof); (b) prior to taking any material action with respect to a Third Party Claim, shall consult with the Indemnifying Party as to the procedure to be followed in defending, settling, or compromising the Claim; (c) shall not consent to any settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; (d) shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim (including, except as provided below, the compromise or settlement thereof) at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, provided, however, that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to approve the Indemnifying Party's choice of legal counsel.
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.
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.
Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to Indemnitee's right to be indemnified or Indemnitee's right to receive Expense Advances under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's power.
