In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (i) the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company or the Surviving Corporation, promptly after statements therefor are received and (ii) the Company and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that neither the Company nor the surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 5.03(b) to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any single action except to the extent that two or more of such Indemnified Parties shall have conflicting interests in the outcome of such action; and provided, further, that, in the event that any claim for indemnification is asserted or made within such ten-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of such claim shall continue until the disposition of such claim.
(c) The Surviving Corporation shall use its best efforts to maintain in effect for six years from the Effective Time, if available, the current directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Company (provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable) with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend pursuant to this Section 5.03(c): (i) for period beginning at Effective Time and ending three years thereafter, more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums (the "Current Annual Premiums") paid by the Company for such insurance (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be approximately $63,000 in the aggregate), and (ii) for the period beginning on the third anniversary of the Effective Time and ending three years thereafter, more than an amount per year equal to 200% of the Current Annual Premiums.
Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification (a) From and for six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former officers, directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and other expenses of investigation or litigation, including on appeal), claims, damages or liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in their capacity as present and former officers, directors and employees to the full extent permitted or required under the FBCA (including Section 607.0850 and A-21 subsection (7) thereof) or other applicable state Law and shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under the FBCA (including Section 607.0850 and subsection (7) thereof) or other applicable state Law, provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides, if requested, the undertaking to repay such advances under the circumstances contemplated by the FBCA. Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (a “Claim”), existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or resolutions of their Boards of Directors, as in effect as of the date hereof, with respect to matters occurring prior to and through the Effective Time, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects such indemnification obligations in accordance with their terms. Subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law, the provisions with respect to indemnification set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any claim is brought against any Indemnified Party (whether arising before or after the Effective Time) after the Effective Time (i) such Indemnified Party may retain counsel satisfactory to it (subject to approval by Parent and the Surviving Corporation, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for such Indemnified Party promptly as statements therefor are received, and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation will use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such matter, provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected without its written consent, which consent, however, shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.03, upon learning of any such Claim, shall notify Parent (but the failure so to notify Parent shall not relieve it from any liability for indemnification under this Section 6.03 which it may have except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Parent), and shall deliver to Parent, upon request, the undertaking, if any, contemplated by the FBCA in connection with the advance of expenses. To the extent that a Claim is brought against more than one Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is, in the opinion of counsel to an Indemnified Party, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties.
(c) Immediately prior to the Effective Time the Company shall, at the direction of the Parent, purchase a non-cancelable extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s officers and directors (the “Tail Policy”) in the same form as presently maintained by the Company, which shall provide such officers and directors with coverage until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) with not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not less favorable to the coverage presently maintained by the Company; provided, however, that Parent shall have the right to shop the insurance policy through their own insurance agent and cause the Company to purchase the insurance policy through the Parent’s insurance agent if the policy can be purchased at a lower cost to the Company; provided, however, that Company may engage a qualified insurance consultant to confirm that such Tail Policy satisfies the above criteria; and, provided further, that Parent shall not be required to pay for the Tail Period, if the aggregate annual premium for the Tail Policy is in excess of two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium for the existing policy. In the event the premium for the Tail Policy exceeds two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium for the existing policy the amount of coverage of the Tail Policy shall be reduced to the greatest amount of coverage that can be obtained for any annual premium for the existing policy. A copy of the proposed policy shall be provided to the Parent by the Company at least five (5) business days prior to Closing. A copy of a binder for such policy shall be provided to the Company prior to Closing. A-22
