Indemnification Against Third-Party Claims Each Party (the Indemnifying Party) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party (the Indemnified Party) and the other Party’s Subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, Affiliates, and assigns, and all current and former officers, directors, members, shareholders, agents, contractors and employees of all such persons and entities (collectively, with Indemnified Party, the “Indemnitee Group”), from any and all Claims (as hereinafter defined).
22.1.1 For purposes of this Section 22, Claim means any action, cause of action, suit, proceeding, claim, or demand of any third party (and all resulting judgments, bona fide settlements, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees),
(a) based on allegations that, if true, would establish
(i) the Indemnifying Party’s breach of this Agreement;
(ii) the Indemnifying Party’s misrepresentation, fraud or other misconduct;
(iii) the Indemnifying Party’s negligent or willful misconduct or omissions;
(iv) infringement by the Indemnifying Party or by any Indemnifying Party product or service of any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark, trade name, right of publicity or privacy, trade secret, or any other proprietary right of any third party;
(v) the Indemnifying Party’s liability in relation to any wrongful disclosure of private or personal matters or material which is defamatory; or
(vi) the Indemnifying Party’s wrongful use or unauthorized disclosure of data; or
(b) that arises out of:
(i) any act or omission of the Indemnifying Party or its subcontractors or agents relating to the Indemnifying Party’s performance or obligations under this Agreement or the Indemnifying Party’s use of any services or facilities obtained from or provided by the other Party under this Agreement;
(ii) any act or omission of the Indemnifying Party’s customer(s) or End User(s) pertaining to the services or facilities provided under this Agreement;
(iii) the bodily injury or death of any person, or the loss or disappearance of or damage to the tangible property of any person, relating to the Indemnifying Party’s performance or obligations under this Agreement;

(v) personal injury to or any unemployment compensation claim by one or more of the Indemnifying Party’s employees, notwithstanding any protections the Indemnifying Party might otherwise have under applicable workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance law, which protections the Indemnifying Party waives, as to the Indemnified Party and other persons and entities to be indemnified under this Section (other than applicable employee claimant(s)).
22.1.2 For purposes of this Section, Reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, as used in this Section, includes without limitation fees and costs incurred to interpret or enforce this Section.
22.1.3 The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonably prompt written notice of any Claim. At the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the Indemnified Party will provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense or settlement of any Claim. The Indemnified Party may, at its expense, employ separate counsel to monitor and participate in the defense of any Claim.
Indemnification Claims An Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within 20 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of Third Party Action involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall promptly furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have or receive with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (x) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.3 or (y) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims If a claim by a third party (including claims for breaches of fiduciary duties) is made against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto from the Company (in the case of a Purchaser Indemnified Party seeking such indemnity) or the Purchaser (in the case of a Company Indemnified Party seeking indemnity) (each of the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, in such capacity, an “Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give notice in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable to such Indemnifying Party of any Proceeding commenced against or by it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have on account of this Article VI, so long as such failure shall not have materially prejudiced the position of such Indemnifying Party. Upon such notification, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding brought by a third party, and, after such assumption, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any expenses thereafter incurred by it in connection with such Proceeding, except as described below. In any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel (including local counsel), but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to promptly assume and thereafter conduct such defense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (iii) in the reasonable determination of counsel for the Indemnified Party, representation of such Indemnified Party by counsel obtained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of a third-party claim, shall, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by such Indemnifying Party), but if settled with such consent or if there be final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party will advance expenses to an Indemnified Party as reasonably incurred so long as such indemnified party shall have provided the indemnifying party with a written undertaking to reimburse the indemnifying party for all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder (which shall include breaches of fiduciary duty if permitted above).
Indemnification Procedure for Third Party Claims (a) In the event that any party (the “Indemnified Person”) desires to make a claim against any other party (the “Indemnifying Person”) in connection with any Losses for which the Indemnified Person may seek indemnification hereunder in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person not a party to this Agreement against the Indemnified Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifying Person in writing, of the Third-Party Claim (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”) as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt, by such Indemnified Person of notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, that failure to give a Third-Party Claim Notice on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Person’s election, to assume or participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the cost of Indemnifying Person. In any case in which the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall give the Indemnified Person ten (10) calendar days’ notice prior to executing any settlement agreement and the Indemnified Person shall have the right to approve or reject the settlement and related expenses; provided, however, that upon rejection of any settlement and related expenses, the Indemnified Person shall assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the liability of the Indemnifying Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall be limited to the amount or the monetary equivalent of the rejected settlement and related expenses.
(b) The Indemnified Person shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and to discuss matters with the Indemnifying Person related to the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 10.3(a) of this Agreement, but the Indemnified Person shall bear and shall be solely responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with such participation; provided, however, that, subject to Section 10.3(a) above, all decisions of the Indemnifying Person shall be final and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Person in all respects in the defense of the Third-Party Claim, including refraining from taking any position adverse to the Indemnifying Person.
(c) If the Indemnifying Person fails to give notice of the assumption of the defense of any Third-Party Claim within a reasonable time period not to exceed forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Third-Party Claim Notice from the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person shall no longer be entitled to assume (but shall continue to be entitled to participate in) such defense. The Indemnified Person may, at its option, continue to defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the Indemnifying Person shall indemnify the Indemnified Person for all reasonable fees and expenses in connection therewith (provided it is a Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Person is otherwise obligated to provide indemnification hereunder). The Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate at its own expense and with its own counsel in the defense of any Third-Party Claim the defense of which it does not assume. Prior to effectuating any settlement of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall furnish the Indemnifying Person with written notice of any proposed settlement in sufficient time to allow the Indemnifying Person to act thereon. Within fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice, the Indemnified Person shall be permitted to effect such settlement unless the Indemnifying Person (a) reimburses the Indemnified Person in accordance with the terms of this Article 10 for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such Claim; (b) assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim; and (c) takes such other actions as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request as assurance of the Indemnifying Person’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Article 10 in connection with such Third-Party Claim.
Waiver of Claims; Indemnification To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You hereby release, waive, discharge and covenant not to xxx Us and Our Contractors for any liability to You, Your personal representatives, assigns, heirs, or successors in interest, or for any loss, damage or expenses, or any claims, demands or Actions therefore, arising from or related to, directly or indirectly, Our or Our Contractors' use of the rights and licenses granted in this Agreement to fulfill the Services and other obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, claims for copyright or trademark infringement, infringement of moral rights, defamation, invasion of rights of privacy, rights of publicity, intrusion, false light, public disclosure of private facts, physical or emotional injury or distress or any similar claim or cause of action in tort, contract, or any other legal theory, now known or hereafter known in any jurisdiction throughout the world. For purposes of this Agreement, "Actions" include any litigation, lawsuit or administrative, governmental or other proceeding including, but not limited to, government investigations, inquiries, hearings, and other requests, or any appeal thereof. You acknowledge that You are solely and fully responsible for the content of the Manuscript and the Work and that We will not be liable to You, or to any third party or other person or entity for the content of Your Manuscript or the Work, regardless of whether We had any knowledge or could have reasonably known of any violation of Your above representations or that the Work or Manuscript otherwise violates law. You will fully indemnify and hold harmless, Us and Our Contractors, and each such entity’s officers, directors, employees, agents, insurers, contractors, successors, and permitted assigns from and against any claim, cause of action, demand, Action, proceeding, losses, liability, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or damages arising out of or resulting from a breach of contract, including, but not limited to, any breach or alleged breach of any of Your foregoing representations, warranties, and obligations. Until any claim for indemnity hereunder has been fully satisfied, We may retain all payments due You, including Royalties, if any, and/or We may cease providing any further Services; and You will have no right to receive a Refund of any amounts paid by You to Us.
Indemnification Proceedings In the event that any claim or demand for which a party (an “Indemnifying Party”), would be liable to the another party under Section 11.2 or Section 11.3 (an “Indemnified Party”) is asserted against or sought to be collected from an Indemnified Party by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, but the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article XI, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim or demand is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from receipt of the above notice from the Indemnified Party (in this Section 11.5, the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand; provided, that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of such claim or demand (or fails to give notice to the Indemnified Party during the Notice Period), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim or demand with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the claim or demand is asserted against both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and based on the advice of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party it is determined that there is a conflict of interest which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for paying separate counsel for the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for paying for more than one separate firm of attorneys to represent all of the Indemnified Parties, regardless of the number of Indemnified Parties. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such claim or demand, (i) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT In consideration of the Releasees accepting my application for a Season Pass and permitting my use of the lifts, ski runs, trails, terrain parks, race courses, restaurants, day lodge, parking, access roads and other ski area facilities (hereinafter “the premises”), I hereby agree as follows:
Limitations on Indemnification Obligations The rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b) are subject to the following provisions:
(a) None of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for any particular Loss pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) unless such Loss equals or exceeds $10,000 (and no such Loss less than $10,000 shall be applied against the Deductible).
(b) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) until the total amount which the Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i), as applicable, in the aggregate (as limited by the other provisions hereof), but for this Section 7.4(b), exceeds $1,192,500 (the “Deductible”), in which case the applicable Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein.
(c) Except, in each case, in the case of Fraud, (i) the maximum liability of Seller to the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any Losses of the Purchaser Indemnitees indemnifiable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $1,192,500 and (ii) the maximum liability of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VII shall not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price.
(d) The amount of any and all Losses indemnifiable hereunder shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers, under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or from other collateral sources, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(d), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter.
(e) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, to the extent available and subject to applicable retention and other coverage limitations thereunder, for any Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) prior to seeking indemnification from Seller under this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 7.4(e) shall limit the Purchaser Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) to the extent that recovery is not available under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy for any reason with respect to all or any portion of such Losses. The amount of any and all indemnifiable Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(e), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to repay to Seller any amounts recovered under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy to the extent such repayment would, after taking into account the deductible and other limitations under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, have the effect of reducing the amount of indemnifiable Losses actually recovered by Purchaser with respect to such claim below the amount of indemnified Losses to which Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to recover from Seller pursuant to this Article VII, but for this Section 7.4(e). Purchaser covenants and agrees that the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy will expressly exclude any right of subrogation against the Seller Group (other than with respect to Fraud).
(f) The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for a Loss only once under Article VII even if a claim or claims for indemnification in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.
(g) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Loss to the extent such Loss was included in or otherwise expressly taken into account in the determination of the Aggregate Purchase Price.
(h) The rights to indemnification of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto (including by any of such party’s advisors or representatives) or by reason of the fact that such party or any of such advisors or representatives knew or should have known that any representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.
(i) For purposes of determining the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article III or the Seller set forth in Article IV and in calculating the amount of any Losses attributable thereto, any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or similar qualifications in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) the use of the term “Material Contract” in any representation or warranty or (ii) any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.6(a).
(j) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover under this Article VII for any breach of any representations and warranties regarding Losses for Taxes with respect to taxable periods, or portions thereof, that end on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent such Losses arise from or are attributable to a breach of the representations or warranties contained in Sections 3.15(e), 3.15(k) or 3.15(l).
Indemnification of Third Party Claims The obligations and liabilities of any party to indemnify any other under this Article 6 with respect to Claims relating to third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims In the event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification claim against the Shareholder under this Agreement that does not involve a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice of such claim to the Shareholder in writing and in reasonable detail. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Shareholder shall not relieve the Shareholder from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Shareholder has been actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Shareholder does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Shareholder disputes such claim, such claim specified by the Shareholder in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Shareholder under this Article VII and the Shareholder shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand, or in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim is finally determined. If the Shareholder disputes its liability with respect to such claim in a timely manner, Shareholder and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.9.
