Indemnification by the Administrator The Administrator shall indemnify each Series and hold it harmless from and against any and all losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by such Series which result from: (i) the Administrator's failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such Series; or (ii) the Administrator's lack of good faith in performing its obligations hereunder with respect to such Series; or (iii) the Administrator's negligence or misconduct or that of its employees, agents or contractors in connection herewith with respect to such Series. A Series shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or misconduct on the part of that Series or its employees, agents or contractors other than the Administrator unless such negligence or misconduct results from or is accompanied by negligence or misconduct on the part of the Administrator, any affiliated person of the Administrator, or any affiliated person of an affiliated person of the Administrator. Before confessing any claim against it which may be subject to indemnification hereunder, a Series shall give the Administrator reasonable opportunity to defend against such claim in its own name or in the name of the Trust on behalf of such Series.
Action by the Board (a) Meetings of the Board may be called by any Manager upon two (2) days prior written notice to each Manager. The presence of a majority of the Managers then in office shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Board. All actions of the Board shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Managers then in office.
(b) Meetings of the Board may be conducted in person or by conference telephone facilities. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board may be taken without a meeting if such number of Managers sufficient to approve such action pursuant to the terms of this Agreement consent thereto in writing. Notice of any meeting may be waived by any Manager.
Termination by the HSP (a) The HSP may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, upon giving 6 months’ Notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the HSP and the Funder) to the Funder provided that the Notice is accompanied by: satisfactory evidence that the HSP has taken all necessary actions to authorize the termination of this Agreement; and a Transition Plan, acceptable to the Funder, that indicates how the needs of the HSP’s clients will be met following the termination and how the transition of the clients to new service providers will be effected within the six-month Notice period.
(b) In the event that the HSP fails to provide an acceptable Transition Plan, the Funder may reduce Funding payable to the HSP prior to termination of this Agreement to compensate the Funder for transition costs.
Determination by the Reviewing Party If the Company reasonably believes that it is not obligated under this Agreement to indemnify the Indemnitee, the Company shall, within 10 days after the Indemnitee’s written request for an advancement or reimbursement of Expenses, notify the Indemnitee that the request for advancement of Expenses or reimbursement of Expenses will be submitted to the Reviewing Party (as hereinafter defined). The Reviewing Party shall make a determination on the request within 30 days after the Indemnitee’s written request for an advancement or reimbursement of Expenses. Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary, in the event the Reviewing Party informs the Company that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in connection with a Proceeding under this Agreement or applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee for all the Expenses previously advanced or otherwise paid to Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding; provided, however, that Indemnitee may bring a suit to enforce his/her indemnification right in accordance with Section C.3 below.
Determination by Accountant All mathematical determinations, and all determinations as to whether any of the Total Payments are "parachute payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), that are required to be made under this Section, including determinations as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, the reduction of the Total Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap, amounts relevant to the last sentence of this Section 6(b), and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made at Westport's expense by an independent nationally recognized accounting firm selected by Westport (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to Westport and the Employee by no later than ten (10) days following the Termination Date, if applicable, or such earlier time as is requested by Westport or the Employee (if the Employee reasonably believes that any of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Employee, it shall furnish the Employee and Westport with a written statement that such Accounting Firm has concluded that no Excise Tax is payable (including the reasons therefor) and that the Employee has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his or her federal income tax return. If a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid to the Employee within twenty (20) days after the Determination (and all accompanying calculations and other material supporting the Determination) is delivered to Westport by the Accounting Firm. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Westport and the Employee, absent manifest error. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the Determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments not made by Westport should have been made ("Underpayment"), or that Gross-Up Payments will have been made by Westport which should not have been made ("Overpayments"). In either such event, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment that has occurred. In the case of an Underpayment, the amount of such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Westport to or for the benefit of the Employee. In the case of an Overpayment, the Employee shall, at the direction and expense of Westport, take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of returns and claims for refund), follow reasonable instructions from, and procedures established by, Westport, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Westport to correct such Overpayment, provided, however, that (i) the Employee shall not in any event be obligated to return to Westport an amount greater than the net after-tax portion of the Overpayment that he or she has retained or has recovered as a refund from the applicable taxing authorities and (ii) this provision shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent to make the Employee whole, on an after-tax basis, from the application of the Excise Tax, it being understood that the correction of an Overpayment may result in the Employee repaying to Westport an amount which is less than the Overpayment.
Indemnification by the Agent The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who (i) controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or (ii) is controlled by or is under common control with the Company against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 11(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendments thereto) or in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Agent and furnished to the Company in writing by the Agent expressly for use therein.
Termination by the Company This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger Transactions abandoned at any time before the Acceptance Time by the Company:
(a) in order to enter into an Acquisition Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.3(c), so long as concurrently with such termination the Company pays the Expense Reimbursement under Section 7.6(b)(i);
(b) if Parent or Merger Sub breaches any of their respective representations or warranties, or fails to perform any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and which breach or failure (i) would, individually or when aggregated with any such other breaches of failures, result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect and (ii) by its nature cannot be cured or has not been cured by Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, by the earlier of (A) the Outside Date and (B) the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after Xxxxxx’s receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company, but only so long as the Company is not then in material breach of its representations or warranties or materially failing to perform its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement in a manner that would allow Parent to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.3(b); or
(c) upon prior written notice to Parent, if Xxxxxx Sub fails to commence the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement hereof on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following the date hereof or if Merger Sub fails to consummate the Offer when required to do so in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.4(c) shall not be available to the Company if the Company is in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement that has been the proximate cause of, or resulted in, Merger Sub’s failure to commence or consummate the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Provision of Certain Information by the Adviser The Adviser will promptly notify the Sub-Adviser (1) in the event that the SEC has censured the Adviser or the Trust; placed limitations upon either of their activities, functions, or operations; suspended or revoked the Adviser’s registration as an investment adviser; or, to the knowledge of the Adviser, has commenced proceedings or an investigation that may result in any of these actions and (2) upon having a reasonable basis for believing that each Fund has ceased to qualify or might not qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code.
Indemnification by the Adviser The Adviser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers, employees, and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for the purposes of Sections 8.4 to 8.6) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Adviser which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or litigation (including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements:
(a) Arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or sales literature of the Trust (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Adviser, the Distributor or the Trust by or on behalf of the Company for use in the registration statement or prospectus for the Trust or in sales literature (or any amendment or supplement) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Variable Contracts or Fund shares;
(b) Arise out of or as a result of statements or representations (other than statements or representations contained in the registration statement, prospectus or sales literature for the Variable Contracts not supplied by the Adviser or persons under its control) or wrongful conduct of the Trust, the Distributor or the Adviser or persons under their control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the Variable Contracts or Fund shares;
(c) Arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or sales literature covering the Variable Contracts, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company for inclusion therein by or on behalf of the Trust;
(d) Arise as a result of a failure by the Trust to substantially provide the services and furnish the materials under the terms of this Agreement; or
(e) Arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the Adviser, the Distributor or the Trust in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Adviser, the Distributor or the Trust.
