Obligation to Indemnify (a) Subject to the expiration of the representations and warranties of the parties as provided in Article IX and the limitations set forth in this Article X, VFL agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses, penalties and reasonable outside attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively, "Losses," and individually a "Loss"), asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by them, directly or indirectly, by reason of or arising out of or in connection with any misrepresentation, breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement of VFL in this Agreement or any Extra Contractual Obligations arising from acts, errors or omissions by VFL or any of its officers, employees, agents or representatives (other than Purchaser and administrators, contractors or other representatives or agents selected by Purchaser); provided, however, that Purchaser (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns) shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.01(a) in respect of representations and warranties in this Agreement only when the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) (the "Basket Amount"), in which case Purchaser (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns) shall be entitled to indemnification for Losses only in excess of the Basket Amount; provided further, that the Purchaser's entitlement to indemnification for claims arising under the fourth sentence of Section 3.11(c), Section 3.16, Section 3.24, Section 10.06 and Section 10.07 shall not be subject to the Basket Amount. VFL shall have no liability under this Section 10.01 if, with respect to any misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform, following the date of this Agreement and at or prior to Closing: (i) VFL provides Purchaser with written notice (which may be in the form of an exhibit to the certificate contemplated by Section 6.01) of such misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform; (ii) such notice expressly acknowledges that such misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform has caused the condition specified in the first sentence of Section 6.01 not to be satisfied and that, as a result, Purchaser has the right not to proceed to Closing; (iii) such misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform has, in fact, caused the condition specified in the first sentence of Section 6.01 not to be satisfied, and as a result, Purchaser has the right not to proceed to Closing; and (iv) Purchaser elects to waive the condition specified in the first sentence of Section 6.01 and proceed to Closing. The maximum amount for which VFL shall be liable under this Article X, other than indemnification for claims arising under the fourth sentence of Section 3.11(c), Section 3.16, Section 3.24, Section 10.06 and Section 10.07 which shall not be subject to such limitation, shall not exceed in the aggregate 100% of the Purchase Price ("Maximum Indemnification Obligation"). Required payments by any indemnifying party pursuant to this Article X shall be limited to the amount of any Loss that remains after deducting therefrom any benefit associated with the breach or occurrence constituting or giving rise to the Loss, including but not limited to: (i) any tax benefit to any indemnified party, (ii) any insurance or reinsurance proceeds recoverable by any indemnified party, and (iii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recoverable by any indemnified party from any third party, in each case with respect to such Loss. The indemnified party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all such insurance proceeds and indemnity, contribution and other similar payments. With respect to any breach of the representations set forth in Sections 3.09 and 3.11, "Losses" to be indemnified by VFL hereunder shall not include any losses deemed to be incurred by Purchaser as a result of any inability to market the Insurance Contracts in any jurisdiction. Further, in no event shall there be included in the calculation of any indemnified Loss any amount in respect of potential revenues, fees or other benefits incident to or potentially arising from any insurance or annuity policies or contracts other than the Insurance Contracts. With respect to any breach of the representations set forth in Section 3.24, Losses to be indemnified by VFL hereunder shall be calculated, as of July 1 of each year from 2003 to 2012, as the difference between the amount of fees and other revenue that would have been payable to Purchaser during the immediately preceding twelve month period under the Participation, Distribution and Service Related Agreements had the representations made by VFL pursuant to Section 3.24 been accurate and the amount of fees and other revenue actually payable to Purchaser under said agreements during such twelve month period (for each such twelve month period such difference shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Annual Revenue Share Losses") and the Annual Revenue Share Losses for each such twelve month period shall be paid by VFL to Purchaser not later than 30 days following such calculation; provided, however, that in no event will VFL be responsible (by indemnification or otherwise) for the Annual Revenue Share Losses for any twelve month period under any particular Participation, Distribution and Service Related Agreement that (i) relate to any time period more than ten years after the Effective Date; (ii) are the result of changes (including any terminations) occurring in accordance with the terms of any particular Participation, Distribution and Service Related Agreement in effect as of the execution of this Agreement, as modified pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) of this sentence; (iii) are the result of changes (including any terminations) made by the Mutual Fund Payor in accordance with the terms of any such Participation, Distribution and Service Related Agreement; or (iv) are the result of changes (including any terminations) made by VFL or the Mutual Fund Payor and requested or approved by Purchaser; and provided, further, in the case of terminations effected under clauses (ii) or (iii) of this sentence, VFL shall be liable for Annual Revenue Share Losses that result from terminations that constitute a breach of the representation made in the last sentence of Section 3.24. Purchaser's right to indemnification for any breach of Section 3.16 as a result of the failure, prior to the Closing, (a) to comply with all tax withholding and information reporting requirements under the Code (and applicable regulations), or (b) of any Insurance Contract to comply with all requirements of the Code, as specified in Section 3.16, shall not be affected by Purchaser's knowledge of any such failure, whether as a result of Purchaser's due diligence process, any disclosure by VFL or otherwise. With regard to those agreements or arrangements regarding fees that are marked with an asterisk in Schedule 3.24, VFL agrees to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses arising from the termination of any such agreement or arrangement on less than 30 days' prior written notice, with such Losses being measured as revenues that are not payable for the 30 days (or applicable portion thereof) following the date of such written notice (if any).
(b) Subject to the expiration of the representations and warranties of the parties as provided in Article IX and the limitations set forth in this Article X, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless VFL and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns from and against all Losses, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by them, directly or indirectly, by reason of or arising out of or in connection with any misrepresentation, breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement of Purchaser in this Agreement or any Extra Contractual Obligations arising from acts, errors or omissions by Purchaser or any of its officers, employees, agents or representatives; provided, however, that VFL (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns) shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.01(b) in respect of representations and warranties in this Agreement only when the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Basket Amount, in which case VFL (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns) shall be entitled to indemnification for Losses only in excess of the Basket Amount. Purchaser shall have no liability under this Section 10.01 if, with respect to any misrepresentation , breach or failure to perform, following the date of this Agreement and at or prior to Closing, Purchaser provides VFL with written notice (which may be in the form of an exhibit to the certificate contemplated by Section 7.01) of such misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform. In any event, the maximum amount for which Purchaser shall be liable under this Article X shall not exceed in the aggregate the Maximum Indemnification Obligation. Required payments by any indemnifying party pursuant to this Article X shall be limited to the amount of any Loss that remains after deducting therefrom any benefit associated with the breach or occurrence constituting or giving rise to the Loss, including but not limited to: (i) any tax benefit to any indemnified party, (ii) any insurance or reinsurance proceeds recoverable by any indemnified party, and (iii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recoverable by any indemnified party from any third party, in each case with respect to such Loss. The indemnified party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all such insurance proceeds and indemnity, contribution and other similar payments. Further, in no event shall there be included in the calculation of any indemnified Loss any amount in respect of potential revenues, fees or other benefits incident to or potentially arising from any insurance or annuity policies or contracts other than the Insurance Contracts.
(c) The same set of facts and circumstances may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article X as a claim arising from both a representation or warranty and from an Extra Contractual Obligation. The fact that such a claim for indemnification may be barred by the survival provisions of Article IX as arising from a representation or warranty, shall not bar VFL or Purchaser from bringing such a claim under this Article X as arising from an Extra Contractual Obligation.
Indemnitee’s Entitlement to Indemnification In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption and establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the Delaware Court. No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct may be used as a defense to any legal proceedings brought by Indemnitee to secure indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.
Indemnification; Exoneration (a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article 3, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Revolving Lender from and against any and all liabilities and costs which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than, in the case of such Issuing Bank, as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).
(b) As among the Borrower, the Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of such Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit applications and Letter of Credit reimbursement agreements executed by the Borrower at the time of request for any Letter of Credit, neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Revolving Lender shall be responsible (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction): (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or other similar form of teletransmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical trade terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Lenders, including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 3.10.
(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates shall not, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, put such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.
Conditions to Indemnification An indemnified party must give the other party(ies) prompt written notice of any claim and allow the indemnifying party to defend or settle the claim as a condition to indemnification. No settlement shall bind any party without such party’s written consent.
Agreement to Indemnify (a) In the event Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Proceeding by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as soon as practicable but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after written demand is presented to the Company, against any and all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) of such Proceeding and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, including the creation of the Trust pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and except as provided in Section 5, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company unless the Company has joined in or consented to the initiation of such Proceeding. If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall advance, within ten (10) business days of such request, any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (an "Expense Advance"); provided, however, that such Expenses shall be advanced only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company; provided further, that the Company shall make such advances only to the extent permitted by law.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the special, independent counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or have lapsed). Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse the Company for Expense Advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon, to the extent permitted by law. If there has not been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in Control, other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the special, independent counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the States of California or Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.
