Conduct of Third Party Claims 11.4.1 If the matter or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against a Seller under this Agreement or any relevant Local Transfer Document for breach of any Seller’s Warranty (other than a Tax Warranty) is a result of or in connection with a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) then:
Investigations; Litigation There is no investigation or review pending (or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened) by any Governmental Entity with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect, and there are no actions, suits, inquiries, investigations or proceedings pending (or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened) against or affecting Parent or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties at law or in equity before, and there are no orders, judgments or decrees of, or before, any Governmental Entity, in each case which would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
Conduct of the Business Each of the Company and Parent covenants and agrees that:
INDEMNIFICATION, LITIGATION The Company will indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of incorporation in effect at that time, or certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company whichever affords the greater protection to the Executive. The Executive will be entitled to any insurance proceeds related to any award, or any fees or expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of being a director or officer of the Company.
Conduct of the Company Except (t) with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (u) as expressly permitted, required or contemplated by this Agreement, (v) as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (w) as required by Applicable Law, (x) pursuant to the terms of any Company Plan in effect as of the date hereof, (y) in connection with any reasonable action taken, or omitted to be taken, pursuant to any COVID-19 Measures or which is otherwise taken, or omitted to be taken, in reasonable response to COVID-19 in good faith, from the date hereof until the Effective Time (provided that the Company shall consult if legally permissible with Parent in good faith prior to taking such actions to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances), or (z) as expressly required or contemplated by any Contract between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and ONE or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, the Company (a) shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (1)(A) operate the Company Vessels, or cause the Company Vessels to be operated, (i) in a customary manner consistent with past practice, (ii) in accordance with the requirements of the class and flag state of each of the Company Vessels and the applicable manager’s safety management systems and (iii) in compliance with the requirements of port states with which each Company Vessel trades and (B) in the ordinary course of business maintain the Company Vessels, or cause the Company Vessels to be maintained, in good working condition and (2) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve substantially intact its business, organization, assets and properties, and (3) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve in all material respects its relationships with any customers, suppliers and any other Persons with which it has material business relations; provided, however, that no action by the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to matters specifically addressed by any provision of Section 6.01(b) shall be deemed a breach of this sentence unless such action constitutes a breach of such provision of Section 6.01(b), and (b) shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to:
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
Cooperation with Litigation During and following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company (regardless of the reason for Executive’s termination of employment with the Company and which party initiates the termination of employment with the Company), except as required by law, Executive agrees to cooperate with and make himself readily available to the Company, the Company’s General Counsel (or equivalent position within the Company) and / or its advisers, as the Company may reasonably request, to assist it in any matter regarding Company and its subsidiaries and parent companies, including giving truthful testimony in any litigation, potential litigation or any internal investigation or administrative, regulatory, judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings involving the Company over which Executive has knowledge, experience or information. Executive acknowledges that this could involve, but is not limited to, responding to or defending any regulatory or legal process, providing information in relation to any such process, preparing witness statements and giving evidence in person on behalf of the Company. The Company shall reimburse any reasonable expenses incurred by Executive as a consequence of complying with his obligations under this clause, provided that such expenses are approved in advance by the Company.
Cooperation in Litigation Each party hereto will reasonably cooperate with the other in the defense or prosecution of any litigation or proceeding already instituted or which may be instituted hereafter against or by such party relating to or arising out of the use of the Purchased Assets prior to the Effective Date (other than litigation arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). The party requesting such cooperation shall pay the out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) of the party providing such cooperation and of its officers, directors, employees, other personnel and agents reasonably incurred in connection with providing such cooperation, but shall not be responsible to reimburse the party providing such cooperation for such party's time spent in such cooperation or the salaries or costs of fringe benefits or similar expenses paid by the party providing such cooperation to its officers, directors, employees, other personnel and agents while assisting in the defense or prosecution of any such litigation or proceeding.
Certain Litigation The Company shall promptly advise Parent of any litigation commenced after the date hereof against the Company or any of its directors (in their capacity as such) by any Company Stockholders (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation and agrees that it shall not settle or offer to settle any such stockholder litigation without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Litigation and Claims No litigation, claim, investigation, administrative proceeding or similar action (including those for unpaid taxes) against Borrower is pending or threatened, and no other event has occurred which may materially adversely affect Borrower’s financial condition or properties, other than litigation, claims, or other events, if any, that have been disclosed to and acknowledged by Lender in writing.
