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.
HOLD HARMLESS/INDEMNIFICATION Contractor agrees to protect, defend, and save State, its elected and appointed officials, agents, and employees, while acting within the scope of their duties as such, harmless from and against all claims, demands, causes of action of any kind or character, including the cost of defense thereof, arising in favor of Contractor's employees or third parties on account of bodily or personal injuries, death, or damage to property arising out of services performed or omissions of services or in any way resulting from the acts or omissions of Contractor and/or its agents, employees, representatives, assigns, subcontractors, except the sole negligence of State, under this Contract.
The Indemnified Person (a) shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of the Claim promptly after becoming aware thereof (including a statement of facts known to the Indemnified Person related to the Claim and an estimate of the amount thereof); (b) prior to taking any material action with respect to a Third Party Claim, shall consult with the Indemnifying Party as to the procedure to be followed in defending, settling, or compromising the Claim; (c) shall not consent to any settlement or compromise of a Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party; (d) shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim (including, except as provided below, the compromise or settlement thereof) at the Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense, provided, however, that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to approve the Indemnifying Party's choice of legal counsel.
HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFICATION To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall defend (with counsel of District’s choosing), indemnify and hold the District, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any alleged acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of Contractor, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors, Contractors or agents in connection with the performance of the Contractor's Services, the Project or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all consequential damages, expert witness fees and attorneys fees and other related costs and expenses. Contractor shall reimburse District and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and/or volunteers, for any and all legal expenses and costs incurred by each of them in connection therewith or in enforcing the indemnity herein provided. Contractor's obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by the District, its directors, officials officers, employees, agents, or volunteers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Contractor's Services are subject to Civil Code Section 2782.8, the above indemnity shall be limited, to the extent required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, to claims that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Contractor. Contractor agrees to waive all rights of subrogation against the District.
a) THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ARTICLE VIII, PARAGRAPH 1 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE SOLE INDEMNITY, AS DEFINED BY CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 2772, GOVERNING THIS AGREEMENT. ANY OTHER INDEMNITY THAT MAY BE ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT AS AN EXHIBIT SHALL BE VOID AND UNENFORCEABLE BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
b) ANY ATTEMPT TO LIMIT THE CONTRACTOR’S LIABILITY TO THE DISTRICT IN AN ATTACHED EXHIBIT SHALL BE VOID AND UNENFORCEABLE BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE CONTRACTOR.
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.
Exculpation; Indemnification Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, whether express or implied, or any obligation or duty at law or in equity, neither the Sole Member, nor any officers, directors, stockholders, partners, employees, affiliates, representatives or agents of the Sole Member, or any manager, officer, employee, representative or agent of the Company (individually, a “Covered Person” and, collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other person for any act or omission (in relation to the Company, its property or the conduct of its business or affairs, this Agreement, any related document or any transaction or investment contemplated hereby or thereby) taken or omitted by a Covered Person in the reasonable belief that such act or omission is in or is not contrary to the best interests of the Company and is within the scope of authority granted to such Covered Person by the Company, provided such act or omission does not constitute fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against any and all civil, criminal, administrative or investigative losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (“Claims”), in which the Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its management of the affairs of the Company or which relates to or arises out of the Company or its property, business or affairs. A Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 11 with respect to (i) any Claim with respect to which such Covered Person has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or (ii) any Claim initiated by such Covered Person unless such Claim (or part thereof) (A) was brought to enforce such Covered Person’s rights to indemnification hereunder or (B) was authorized or consented to by the Board or the Sole Member. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending any Claim shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Claim upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Section 11.
Indemnification/Hold Harmless As a separate and independent covenant from CONTRACTOR’s obligations under Section 22 hereof, CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, protect, defend with counsel acceptable to the CITY, and hold CITY and CITY’s officers, employees, agents, and volunteers harmless and free from any and all claims, liabilities, or expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising out of or relating to any negligent act, negligent omission, or wrongful conduct, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), related in any way to CONTRACTOR’s performance of its services pursuant to this Agreement. In the event CITY and/or any of CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers are named in any lawsuit, or should any claim be made against it or any of them by lawsuit or otherwise arising out of or relating to such negligent act, negligent omission, wrongful conduct, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), CONTRACTOR shall indemnify them for any judgment rendered against them for such negligent act, negligent omission, wrongful act, or any loss, damage, or injury (including, but not limited to, death or other injury that is sustained from any communicable disease), any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise, and all costs incurred by them in their defense, including but not limited to attorney’s fees. XXXXXXXXXX also understands and agrees that it is being employed to perform the services provided for by this Agreement because of CONTRACTOR’s professed expertise and experience in performing such services. In addition, CONTRACTOR understands and agrees that while CITY or CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers may elect to do so, they have no duty to review, inspect, monitor, or supervise the work performed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement except as otherwise expressly provided for by this Agreement. As a consequence, CONTRACTOR waives any right of contribution against CITY or any of CITY’s officers, employees, agents, or volunteers arising out of such failure to inspect, review, monitor, or supervise the work performed by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this Agreement. CONTRACTOR’s obligations under this Section of the Agreement shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
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.
