Indemnification and Expenses (a) To the extent not previously paid pursuant to Section 4.12(e) of the Prior Agreement, the Company shall (and each of the Shareholders shall take all actions in its capacity as a shareholder necessary to) cause KMI to promptly pay or reimburse each Shareholder for any and all out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, financial advisors and other consultants or advisors) incurred by such Shareholder or its Affiliates (i) as of or prior to the date hereof in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 28, 2006 among KMI, Knight Acquisition Co. and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) as of, prior to or after the date hereof in connection with any shareholder litigation in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including any amounts paid as damages or in settlement thereof. Any fees and expenses for which any Shareholder is entitled to payment or reimbursement pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid or reimbursed promptly after such fees or expenses are incurred by such Shareholder and notice thereof is provided to the Company.
(b) From and after the date hereof, all reasonable fees and expenses of each Investor Shareholder (with respect to all periods prior to such Investor Shareholder ceasing to hold Class A Shares or Related Shares) and their counsel related to the administration of, and their rights and obligations under, the Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, provided, that such fees and expenses must be approved in advance by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c) All fees and expenses (including legal and other advisory fees and expenses) of the Investor Shareholders and their Affiliates incident to the IPO, including with respect to the evaluation, preparation, negotiation, structuring (tax, accounting, legal or otherwise), implementation and consummation thereof, and with respect to previously contemplated potential structures for an initial public offering of Knight Holdco LLC (or Subsidiaries or parent companies of Knight Holdco LLC) pursuant to the Prior Agreement, shall be borne by the Company, and shall be paid or reimbursed promptly after presentation of an invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be responsible for any underwriting discounts or commissions or for fees and expenses of any Investor Shareholder or its Affiliates in their capacity as an underwriter of the IPO pursuant to this Section 7.12(c).
(d) With respect to any indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 5.8 and Section 7.12 of this Agreement, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to all indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 5.8 and Section 7.12 of this Agreement (i.e., its obligations to an applicable indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Investor Shareholders and their Affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”) to advance expenses or to provide indemnification and/or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitee are secondary) and (ii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. For clarification, this Section 7.12(d) shall have no impact on the Selling Shareholders’ indemnification obligations under Section 5.8(b) of this Agreement or the parties’ respective contribution obligations as set forth under Section 5.8(f), and the Company is not waiving, relinquishing or releasing any claims against the Selling Shareholders that may arise under Section 5.8(b) or, with respect to the parties’ respective contribution obligations, Section 5.8(f).
(i) Each Person that is included within the definition of a particular Investor Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of any Class A Shareholder under Section 2.3(b) of this Agreement (arising in respect of such Investor Shareholder’s Class A Series) if such Class A Shareholder also is within the definition of such particular Investor Shareholder.
(ii) In the event that any Person (the “Applicable Seller”) included within the definition of a particular Investor Shareholder converts any Class A Shares in order to Transfer Class P Shares at a time when all other holders of Class A Shares of such Investor Shareholder’s Class A Series are not converting the same pro rata share of their Class A Shares in order to Transfer Class P Shares (such conversion and Transfer by the Applicable Seller, the “Applicable Transaction”), each Person that is included within the definition of such Investor Shareholder (the “Indemnifying Shareholders”) agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Company, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, the holders of Class B Shares in such series and the holders of Class C Shares in such series from and against all Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any lawsuit, claim, litigation or proceeding in which the indemnified party is included, brought by one or more investors or partners in any Person that is included within such definition of such particular Investor Shareholder, alleging a Loss based on the non-pro rata nature of the Applicable Transaction; provided, that this Section 7.12(e) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the indemnified parties with respect to any such Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any such lawsuit, claim, litigation or proceeding.
INDEMNIFICATION AND ATTORNEYS' FEES (a) The Bank shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Executive against reasonable costs, including legal fees, incurred by him in connection with his consultation with legal counsel or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which he may be involved, as a result of his efforts, in good faith, to defend or enforce the terms of this Agreement. The Bank agrees to pay all such costs as they are incurred by the Executive, to the full extent permitted by law, and without regard to whether the Bank believes that it has a defense to any action, suit or proceeding by the Executive or that it is not obligated for any payments under this Agreement.
(b) In the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with the Executive's termination is resolved in favor of the Executive, whether by judgment, arbitration or settlement, the Executive shall be entitled to the payment of all back-pay, including salary, bonuses and any other cash compensation, fringe benefits and any compensation and benefits due the Executive under this Agreement.
(c) The Bank shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Executive for any act taken or not taken, or any omission or failure to act, by him in good faith while performing services for the Bank or the Company to the same extent and upon the same terms and conditions as other similarly situated officers and directors of the Bank or the Company. If and to the extent that the Bank or the Company, maintains, at any time during the Employment Period, an insurance policy covering the other officers and directors of the Bank or the Company against lawsuits, the Bank or the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Executive to be covered under such policy upon the same terms and conditions as other similarly situated officers and directors.
Fees and Expenses; Indemnification The Guarantor agrees to pay to the Trust Preferred Guarantee Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed to in writing between the Guarantor and the Trust Preferred Guarantee Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder and to reimburse the Trust Preferred Guarantee Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trust Preferred Guarantee Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Trust Preferred Guarantee (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Guarantor agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person for, and to hold each Indemnified Person harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including taxes other than taxes based on the income of any such Indemnified Person) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against, or investigating, any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Guarantor, notify the Guarantor in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that, failure to give such prompt notice shall not impair the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder except to the extent that such failure to provide notice materially prejudices the Guarantor. The Guarantor shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the Guarantor’s choice at the Guarantor’s expense to represent the Indemnified Persons in any action for which indemnification is sought; provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons. The Guarantor will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 7.02 shall survive the termination of this Trust Preferred Guarantee or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trust Preferred Guarantee Trustee.
Costs and Expenses; Indemnification Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make a Revolving Loan or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
Expenses Indemnification Etc (a) The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, agree to pay or reimburse:
(i) Agents for all of their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but limited to in the case of counsel, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary legal counsel for Lenders and Agents selected by Administrative Agent and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction reasonably deemed necessary by Agents and any “ClearPar” costs and expenses) in connection with (1) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the extension and syndication of credit (including the Loans and Commitments) hereunder and (2) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any modification, supplement, amendment or waiver of any of the terms of any Credit Document (whether or not consummated or effective) requested by the Credit Parties;
(ii) each Agent and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Agent or Lender (provided that any legal expenses shall be limited to the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary legal counsel for Lenders and Agents selected by Administrative Agent and of one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction reasonably deemed necessary by Agents) (and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Persons affected by such conflict inform Borrower in writing of the existence of an actual or perceived conflict of interest prior to retaining additional counsel, one additional of each such counsel for each group of similarly situated Secured Parties)) in connection with (1) any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting from any Event of Default, including all manner of participation in or other involvement with (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure, winding up or liquidation proceedings, (y) judicial or regulatory proceedings and (z) workout, restructuring or other negotiations or proceedings (whether or not the workout, restructuring or transaction contemplated thereby is consummated), (2) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the enforcement of any Credit Document and (3) the enforcement of this Section 13.03; and
(iii) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable but without duplication, for all reasonable and documented costs, expenses, assessments and other charges (including reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Credit Document or any other document referred to therein. Without limiting the rights of any Agent under this Section 13.03(a), each Agent, promptly after a request of Borrower from time to time, will advise Borrower of an estimate of any amount anticipated to be incurred by such Agent and reimbursed by Borrower under this Section 13.03(a).
(b) The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, trustees, officers, employees, representatives, advisors, partners and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them directly or indirectly arising out of or by reason of or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of any Credit Document, any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the Transactions), any breach by any Credit Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in any Credit Document in connection with any of the Transactions, the use or proposed use of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, the issuance of or performance under any Letter of Credit or, the use of any collateral security for the Obligations (including the exercise by any Agent or Lender of the rights and remedies or any power of attorney with respect thereto or any action or inaction in respect thereof), including all amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to Section 12.08, but excluding (i) any such Losses relating to matters referred to in Sections 5.01 or 5.06 (which shall be the sole remedy in respect of matters referred to therein), (ii) any such Losses arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Documents by such Indemnitee or its Related Indemnified Persons (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (iii) any such Losses relating to any dispute between and among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by any Company (other than any claims against Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any other agent or bookrunner named on the cover page hereto or any L/C Lender, in each case, acting in such capacities or fulfilling such roles). For purposes of this Section 13.03(b), a “Related Indemnified Person” of an Indemnitee means (1) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnitee, (2) the respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates and (3) the respective agents of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting at the instructions of such Indemnitee, controlling person or such controlled Affiliate; provided that each reference to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person in this sentence pertains to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person involved in the performance of the Indemnitee’s obligations under the facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee from, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee harmless against, any Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them arising under any Environmental Law as a result of (i) the past, present or future operations of any Company (or any predecessor-in-interest to any Company), (ii) the past, present or future condition of any site or facility owned, operated, leased or used at any time by any Company (or any such predecessor-in-interest) to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, or (iii) any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any such site or facility to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, including any such Release or threatened Release that shall occur during any period when any Agent or Lender shall be in possession of any such site or facility following the exercise by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the Security Documents; provided, however, that the indemnity hereunder shall be subject to the exclusions from indemnification set forth in the preceding sentence. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.03 or any other provision of any Credit Document providing for indemnification is unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy or otherwise, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute the maximum portion that each of them is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by any of the Persons indemnified hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and the parties hereto hereby waive, any claim against any Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in this Section 13.03 (including the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to indemnify the Indemnitees for indirect, special, punitive or consequential damage that are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder). No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Document by such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Request for Indemnification and Indemnification Payments Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly in writing upon receiving notice of any demand, judgment or other requirement for payment that Indemnitee reasonably believes to be subject to indemnification under the terms of this Agreement, and shall request payment thereof by the Company. Indemnification payments requested by Indemnitee under Section 3 hereof shall be made by the Company no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. Claims for advancement of expenses shall be made under the provisions of Section 6 herein.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, consequential damages shall not be deemed to include diminution in value of the Purchased Units, which is specifically included in damages covered by Purchaser Related Parties’ indemnification.
Expenses and Indemnification (a) The Fund shall upon demand reimburse the Purchaser (to the extent that payments for the following items are not made under the other provisions hereof) for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and costs of outside counsel, and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, investment banking, and similar professional fees and charges) incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of rights under this Agreement, provided, however, that the Fund shall not be responsible for the Purchaser’s costs in connection with any subsequent offer and sale of the RVMTP Shares made by the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or another available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, in a manner not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Fund shall not be responsible under this Section 7.3(a) for the fees and costs of more than one law firm in any one jurisdiction with respect to any one proceeding or set of related proceedings for the Purchaser, unless the Purchaser shall have reasonably concluded that there are legal defenses available to them that are different from or additional to those available to the Fund.
(b) The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each other Indemnified Person of the Purchaser from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) which are related to or arise out of (A) any material misstatements or any material statements omitted to be made in the Offering Memorandum (including any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (B) any claim by any third party relating to the offering or sale of the RVMTP Shares by the Fund or the holding of the RVMTP Shares by the Purchaser (x) that the Purchaser aided and abetted a breach of a fiduciary duty by the Fund or any director or officer of the Fund or (y) arising from any act by the Fund or any director or officer of the Fund (excluding in any such case of either clauses (A) or (B), claims, losses, liabilities or expenses arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).
(c) If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as to which an Indemnified Person proposes to demand indemnification, it shall notify the indemnifying party with reasonable promptness; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Person to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder (except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to promptly notify). The indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to counsel of its own choice to represent it, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person in accordance with the preceding sentence or (ii) the Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there exist actual or potential conflicting interests between the indemnifying party and such Indemnified Person, including situations in which one or more legal defenses may be available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations be liable for fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Persons of such other party; and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with the indemnifying party and any counsel designated by the indemnifying party. Each party further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the other party (the consent of a party shall not be required to the extent such party is neither requesting indemnification nor being requested to provide indemnification), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each other Indemnified Person from all liability and obligations arising therefrom. The Fund further agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to the Fund arising out of or in connection with the proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement except for such liability for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent they have resulted from an Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Indemnified Person shall be responsible or liable to the indemnifying party or any other person for consequential, special or punitive damages which may be alleged as a result of this Agreement.
(d) Nothing in this Section 7.3 is intended to limit either party’s obligations contained in other parts of this Agreement or the RVMTP Shares.
Company Indemnification The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above, provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in any related Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
