Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Parent or the Surviving Corporation from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any such person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to Parent, to the extent then required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
(b) The provisions of the Organizational Documents of Parent with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of Parent that are set forth in the Organizational Documents of Parent as of the date of this Agreement shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of Parent. The Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and Parent shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers as those set forth in the Organizational Documents of Parent as of the date of this Agreement.
(c) From and after the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its D&O Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such D&O Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and (ii) Parent shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of Parent to its D&O Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under Parent’s Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between Parent and such D&O Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.
(d) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, with an effective date as of the Closing Date, on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public companies similarly situated to Parent. In addition, Parent shall purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six (6)-year prepaid “tail policy” (the “D&O Tail Policy”) for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Parent’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time. During the term of the D&O Tail Policy, Parent shall not take any action following the Effective Time to cause the D&O Tail Policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived in any manner that would adversely affect in any material respect the rights of their former and current officers and directors.
(e) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 5.7 in connection with their successful enforcement of the rights provided to such persons in this Section 5.7.
(f) All rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of Parent or the Company as provided in their respective Organizational Documents or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. The provisions of this Section 5.7 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of Parent and the Company by Law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.
(g) From and after the Effective Time, in the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.7. The obligations set forth in this Section 5.7 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any D&O Indemnified Party, or any person who is a beneficiary under the policies referred to in this Section 5.7 and their heirs and representatives, without the prior written consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party or other person

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.01 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on Acquiror and the Company and all successors and assigns of Acquiror and the Company. If Acquiror or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Acquiror or the Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.01.
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

(b) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and regardless of whether the Merger becomes effective, indemnify and hold harmless, and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless, each present and former director, officer, employee, fiduciary and agent of the Company (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in their capacity as an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent, whether occurring before or after the Effective Time, for a period of ten years after the date hereof. 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.

For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Aon shall cause to be maintained in effect the provisions in (i) WTW Governing Documents and the organizational documents of any WTW Subsidiary and (ii) any other agreements of WTW and WTW Subsidiaries with any Indemnified Party, in each case, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are in existence on the date of this Agreement, and no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Acquisition or any of the other Transactions). Aon shall cause for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Date, the purchase of an insurance and indemnification policy in favor of WTW’s current directors and officers that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is no less favorable that WTW’s existing policy or, if insurance coverage that is no less favorable is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that WTW shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three-hundred (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement (it being understood that Aon shall nevertheless be obligated to provide as much coverage as may be obtained for such amount); provided further that WTW may prior to the Effective Time substitute therefor a single premium six-year tail coverage with respect to D&O Insurance with an annual cost not in excess of three-hundred (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement.

In the event following the Effective Time Aon or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Aon, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.4. The rights and obligations under this Section 8.4 shall survive consummation of the Acquisition and shall not be terminated or amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party.
