Indemnification for Expenses of A PARTY WHO IS WHOLLY OR PARTLY SUCCESSFUL. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement except for Section 27, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding, the Company also shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred in connection with a claim, issue or matter related to any claim, issue, or matter on which Indemnitee was successful. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
Indemnification for Expenses in Enforcing Rights To the fullest extent allowable under applicable law, the Company shall also indemnify against, and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall advance to Indemnitee subject to and in accordance with Section 4, any Expenses actually and reasonably paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action or proceeding by Indemnitee for (a) indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under any provision of this Agreement, or under any other agreement or provision of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims relating to Indemnifiable Events, and/or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company. However, in the event that Indemnitee is ultimately determined not to be entitled to such indemnification or insurance recovery, as the case may be, then all amounts advanced under this Section 5 shall be repaid. Indemnitee shall be required to reimburse the Company in the event that a final judicial determination is made that such action brought by Indemnitee was frivolous or not made in good faith.
Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in this Section 9.5, every person who is, or has been, a Trustee, officer, or employee of the Trust, including persons who serve at the request of the Trust as directors, trustees, officers, employees or agents of another organization in which the Trust has an interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person"), shall be indemnified by the Trust or the applicable Series to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been such a Trustee, director, officer, employee or agent and against amounts paid or incurred by him in settlement thereof. No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person to the extent such indemnification is prohibited by applicable federal law. The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not affect any other rights to which any Covered Person may now or hereafter be entitled, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such a Covered Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Subject to applicable federal law, expenses of preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim, action, suit or proceeding subject to a claim for indemnification under this Section 9.5 shall be advanced by the Trust or the applicable Series prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.5. To the extent that any determination is required to be made as to whether a Covered Person engaged in conduct for which indemnification is not provided as described herein, or as to whether there is reason to believe that a Covered Person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification, the Person or Persons making the determination shall afford the Covered Person a rebuttable presumption that the Covered Person has not engaged in such conduct and that there is reason to believe that the Covered Person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
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.
INDEMNIFICATION FOR EXPENSES OF A WITNESS Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except for Section 27, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness or deponent in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee was or is not a party or threatened to be made a party, Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be indemnified, held harmless and exonerated against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.
Indemnification for Expenses Incurred in Enforcing Rights The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, and/or (ii) recovery under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, but only in the event that Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification or insurance recovery, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall, if so requested by Indemnitee, advance the foregoing Expenses to Indemnitee, subject to and in accordance with Section 2(c).
Request for Indemnification and Indemnification Payments Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly in writing upon receiving notice of any demand, judgment or other requirement for payment that Indemnitee reasonably believes to be subject to indemnification under the terms of this Agreement, and shall request payment thereof by the Company. Indemnification payments requested by Indemnitee under Section 3 hereof shall be made by the Company no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. Claims for advancement of expenses shall be made under the provisions of Section 6 herein.
Indemnification and Expenses (a) To the extent not previously paid pursuant to Section 4.12(e) of the Prior Agreement, the Company shall (and each of the Shareholders shall take all actions in its capacity as a shareholder necessary to) cause KMI to promptly pay or reimburse each Shareholder for any and all out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, financial advisors and other consultants or advisors) incurred by such Shareholder or its Affiliates (i) as of or prior to the date hereof in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 28, 2006 among KMI, Knight Acquisition Co. and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) as of, prior to or after the date hereof in connection with any shareholder litigation in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including any amounts paid as damages or in settlement thereof. Any fees and expenses for which any Shareholder is entitled to payment or reimbursement pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid or reimbursed promptly after such fees or expenses are incurred by such Shareholder and notice thereof is provided to the Company. (b) From and after the date hereof, all reasonable fees and expenses of each Investor Shareholder (with respect to all periods prior to such Investor Shareholder ceasing to hold Class A Shares or Related Shares) and their counsel related to the administration of, and their rights and obligations under, the Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, provided, that such fees and expenses must be approved in advance by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). (c) All fees and expenses (including legal and other advisory fees and expenses) of the Investor Shareholders and their Affiliates incident to the IPO, including with respect to the evaluation, preparation, negotiation, structuring (tax, accounting, legal or otherwise), implementation and consummation thereof, and with respect to previously contemplated potential structures for an initial public offering of Knight Holdco LLC (or Subsidiaries or parent companies of Knight Holdco LLC) pursuant to the Prior Agreement, shall be borne by the Company, and shall be paid or reimbursed promptly after presentation of an invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be responsible for any underwriting discounts or commissions or for fees and expenses of any Investor Shareholder or its Affiliates in their capacity as an underwriter of the IPO pursuant to this Section 7.12(c). (d) With respect to any indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 5.8 and Section 7.12 of this Agreement, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to all indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 5.8 and Section 7.12 of this Agreement (i.e., its obligations to an applicable indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Investor Shareholders and their Affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”) to advance expenses or to provide indemnification and/or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitee are secondary) and (ii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. For clarification, this Section 7.12(d) shall have no impact on the Selling Shareholders’ indemnification obligations under Section 5.8(b) of this Agreement or the parties’ respective contribution obligations as set forth under Section 5.8(f), and the Company is not waiving, relinquishing or releasing any claims against the Selling Shareholders that may arise under Section 5.8(b) or, with respect to the parties’ respective contribution obligations, Section 5.8(f). (i) Each Person that is included within the definition of a particular Investor Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of any Class A Shareholder under Section 2.3(b) of this Agreement (arising in respect of such Investor Shareholder’s Class A Series) if such Class A Shareholder also is within the definition of such particular Investor Shareholder. (ii) In the event that any Person (the “Applicable Seller”) included within the definition of a particular Investor Shareholder converts any Class A Shares in order to Transfer Class P Shares at a time when all other holders of Class A Shares of such Investor Shareholder’s Class A Series are not converting the same pro rata share of their Class A Shares in order to Transfer Class P Shares (such conversion and Transfer by the Applicable Seller, the “Applicable Transaction”), each Person that is included within the definition of such Investor Shareholder (the “Indemnifying Shareholders”) agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Company, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, the holders of Class B Shares in such series and the holders of Class C Shares in such series from and against all Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any lawsuit, claim, litigation or proceeding in which the indemnified party is included, brought by one or more investors or partners in any Person that is included within such definition of such particular Investor Shareholder, alleging a Loss based on the non-pro rata nature of the Applicable Transaction; provided, that this Section 7.12(e) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the indemnified parties with respect to any such Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any such lawsuit, claim, litigation or proceeding.
Exculpation and Indemnification (a) No Member, Manager, Officer, employee or agent of the Company and no affiliate, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of the Member (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other person or entity who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall have no personal liability on account thereof. (c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section. (d) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by the person or entity as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other person or entity’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid. (e) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. (f) The foregoing provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Compensation, Expenses and Indemnification (a) The Company shall pay to the Auction Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it under this Agreement and under the Broker-Dealer Agreements as shall be set forth in a separate writing signed by the Company and the Auction Agent, subject to adjustments if the AMPS no longer are held of record by the Securities Depository or its nominee or if there shall be such other change as shall increase materially the Auction Agent's obligations hereunder or under the Broker-Dealer Agreements. (b) The Company shall reimburse the Auction Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Auction Agent in accordance with any provision of this Agreement and of the Broker-Dealer Agreements (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any expense, disbursement or advance attributable to its negligence or bad faith. (c) The Company shall indemnify the Auction Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with its agency under this Agreement and under the Broker-Dealer Agreements, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in connection with its exercise or performance of any of its duties hereunder and thereunder, except such as may result from its negligence or bad faith.
