Indemnification and D&O Insurance Executive will be provided indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, including, if applicable, any directors and officers insurance policies, with such indemnification to be on terms determined by the Board or any of its committees, but on terms no less favorable than provided to any other Company executive officer or director and subject to the terms of any separate written indemnification agreement.
Indemnification; D&O Insurance 12.1 If the Executive is made a party, is threatened to be made a party, or reasonably anticipates being made a party, to any actual, threatened or reasonably anticipated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, appellate, formal or informal (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, member, employee, agent, manager, trustee, consultant or representative of the Company or any of its Affiliates or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or in connection with his service hereunder, as a director, officer, member, employee, agent, manager, trustee, consultant or representative of another person or entity, or if any claim, demand, request, investigation, dispute, controversy, threat, discovery request, or request for testimony or information (a “Claim”) is made, is threatened to be made, or is reasonably anticipated to be made, that arises out of or relates to the Executive’s service in any of the foregoing capacities, then the Executive shall promptly be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by the corporate governance documents of the Company, or if greater, by applicable law, against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys' and other professional fees and charges, judgments, interest, expenses of investigation, penalties, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith or in connection with seeking to enforce his rights under this Section 12.1, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, officer, member, employee, agent, manager, trustee, consultant or representative of the Company or other person or entity and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators. The Executive shall be entitled to prompt advancement by the Company of any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and other professional fees and charges) incurred by him in connection with any such Proceeding or Claim, or in connection with seeking to enforce his rights under this Section 12.1, any such advancement to be made within fifteen (15) days after the Executive gives written notice to the Company, supported by reasonable documentation, requesting such advancement. Such notice shall include an undertaking by the Executive to repay the amount advanced if he is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification against such costs and expenses. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit or extinguish any right to indemnification, advancement of expenses, or contribution that the Executive would otherwise have (including, without limitation, by agreement or under applicable law).
12.2 Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any Proceeding or Claim concerning payment of amounts claimed by the Executive under Section 12.1 that indemnification of the Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Executive has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
12.3 A directors' and officers' liability insurance policy (or policies) shall be kept in place, during the Employment Term and for at least six (6) years thereafter, providing coverage to the Executive that is no less favorable to him in any respect (including, without limitation, with respect to scope, exclusions, amounts, and deductibles) than the coverage then being provided to any other present or former senior executive or director of the Company.
Indemnification Agreements Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Executive shall enter into indemnification agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2.
Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance (a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, exculpation, and advancement of expenses existing in favor of the current or former directors and officers of the Company as provided in the Company Organizational Documents, employment agreements, or elsewhere for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, including in respect of the Merger Transactions, shall be assumed and performed by the Surviving Corporation and shall continue in full force and effect until the later of six years after the Effective Time or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any such claims against directors or officers of the Company arising out of such acts or omissions, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.
(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance in respect of acts, errors or omissions occurring on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the Merger Transactions, covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policies in effect on the date hereof. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if, at or prior to the Effective Time, the Company or Parent (on behalf of the Surviving Corporation) shall purchase six (6) year prepaid “tail” policies on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms no less favorable than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Effective Time, except that the Company may not commit or spend on such “tail” policies annual premiums in excess of 300% of the annual premiums paid by the Company in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof for the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “Base Amount”), and if such premiums for such “tail” policies would exceed 300% of the Base Amount, then the Company shall purchase policies that provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 300% of the Base Amount. The Company shall in good faith cooperate with Parent prior to the Effective Time with respect to the procurement of such “tail” policies, subject to such policy being fully prepaid, including with respect to the selection of the broker, available policy price and coverage options. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.
(c) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successor and assign of Parent or the Surviving Corporation assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 5.4.

1.5.2.2.1 This indemnification does not extend beyond the scope of this Contract and the work undertaken thereunder. Nor does this indemnification extend to claims for loses or injuries or damages incurred directly by the Indemnitees due to breach, negligence or default by the Indemnitor under the terms and conditions of this Contract.
1.5.2.2.2 This indemnification does not extend to claims for loses or injuries or damages incurred by the Indemnitees due to any negligent act, error, or omission of a design professional in the performance of professional services that fails to meet the applicable professional standard of care, skill and ability as employed by others in their profession.

(b) An Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing promptly upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or other matter in respect of which such indemnification may be sought, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 4.7 except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of, including the investigation of, and corrective action required to be undertaken in response to, any litigation, claim or proceeding (each, a "Claim") relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 4.7 with counsel selected by the Company, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee (and, if the Company shall have assumed such defense, it shall not be liable for the fees or expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnitee); provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Claim at his or her own expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be liable for any settlement or compromise effected without its written consent.
(c) In the event any Claim is asserted or made, any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnitee's conduct complies with the standards set forth under applicable Law, the applicable Company Charter Documents and Subsidiary Documents as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided that nothing in this Section 4.7 shall impair any rights of any current or former director or officer of the Company or such subsidiaries, including pursuant to the respective Company Charter Documents and the Subsidiary Documents of such subsidiaries, under applicable Law or otherwise.
(d) Each of the Company and the Indemnitees shall cooperate in the defense of any Claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 4.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 4.7 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 4.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4.7). The provisions of this Section 4.7 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.
(f) In the event that the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) 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 the Company shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 4.7.

Indemnification; Exculpation The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, the Definitive Documentation, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, solely to the extent such Definitive Documentation or transactions contemplated thereby relate to this Agreement and the Convertible Preferred Equity Offering, any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Commitments, or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, and the Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Party upon demand for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (which, so long as there are no conflicts among such Indemnified Parties, shall be limited to one law firm serving as counsel for the Indemnified Parties) and other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, irrespective of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, or expense is found in a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, actual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is found in a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, actual fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

No Indemnified Party shall settle any lawsuit, claim, or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Definitive Documentation, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to no indemnification by the Company for any claim, damage, loss, liability, or expense incurred by or asserted or awarded against such Indemnified Party for any violation of Law by such Indemnified Party.
