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. In no event, however, shall the Company or any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, the Company agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any lawsuit, claim or other proceeding arising out of 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, unless such settlement (i) includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such lawsuit, claim or other proceeding of all Indemnified Parties and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

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.
Indemnification Etc 55 9.1 Survival of Representations, Etc.............................................................. 55 9.2
Indemnification of Lender Borrower agrees to indemnify, to defend and to save and hold Lender harmless from any and all claims, suits, obligations, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, Lender’s attorneys’ fees), demands, liabilities, penalties, fines and forfeitures of any nature whatsoever that may be asserted against or incurred by Lender, its officers, directors, employees, and agents arising out of, relating to, or in any manner occasioned by this Agreement and the exercise of the rights and remedies granted Lender under this, as well as by: (1) the ownership, use, operation, construction, renovation, demolition, preservation, management, repair, condition, or maintenance of any part of the Collateral; (2) the exercise of any of Borrower’s rights collaterally assigned and pledged to Lender hereunder; (3) any failure of Borrower to perform any of its obligations hereunder; and/or (4) any failure of Borrower to comply with the environmental and ERISA obligations, representations and warranties set forth herein. The foregoing indemnity provisions shall survive the cancellation of this Agreement as to all matters arising or accruing prior to such cancellation and the foregoing indemnity shall survive in the event that Lender elects to exercise any of the remedies as provided under this Agreement following default hereunder. Borrower’s indemnity obligations under this section shall not in any way be affected by the presence or absence of covering insurance, or by the amount of such insurance or by the failure or refusal of any insurance carrier to perform any obligation on its part under any insurance policy or policies affecting the Collateral and/or Borrower’s business activities. Should any claim, action or proceeding be made or brought against Lender by reason of any event as to which Borrower’s indemnification obligations apply, then, upon Lender’s demand, Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall defend such claim, action or proceeding in Borrower’s name, if necessary, by the attorneys for Borrower’s insurance carrier (if such claim, action or proceeding is covered by insurance), or otherwise by such attorneys as Lender shall approve. Lender may also engage its own attorneys at its reasonable discretion to defend Borrower and to assist in its defense and Borrower agrees to pay the fees and disbursements of such attorneys.
Indemnification; Exoneration (a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article 3, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Revolving Lender from and against any and all liabilities and costs which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than, in the case of such Issuing Bank, as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).
(b) As among the Borrower, the Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of such Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit applications and Letter of Credit reimbursement agreements executed by the Borrower at the time of request for any Letter of Credit, neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Revolving Lender shall be responsible (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction): (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or other similar form of teletransmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical trade terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Lenders, including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 3.10.
(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates shall not, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, put such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.
(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.
Indemnification Limitations (a) In no event shall the Sellers be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the representations and warranties in Section 4.1 (Corporate Status), Section 4.2 (Authority), the first two sentences of each of Section 4.4(a) and 4.4(b) (Capitalization), Section 4.7 (Taxes), and Section 4.21 (Finder’s Fee) (collectively, the “Excluded Representations”) and Section 4.17 (Sufficiency of Assets)) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses with respect to Section 10.2(a)(i) that are imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds $1,400,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses from the first dollar, including both the Threshold Amount and any amounts in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Sellers shall not (i) be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) in an aggregate amount in excess of $18,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”), or (ii) be liable for indemnification with respect to any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) to the extent such Loss and all Losses arising out of the same facts and circumstances are, in the aggregate, less than $15,000 (each, a “De Minimis Loss”) (and such Losses shall be disregarded and shall not be aggregated for purposes of the Threshold Amount unless and until such Losses arising out of the same facts or circumstances exceed the De Minimis Loss amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall have ninety (90) days after the receipt of an indemnification claim for any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of Section 4.20(b) (Products Liability; Warranty) in which to propose a commercially reasonable alternative to satisfy such claim, including the repair, replacement or redelivery of any products that are the subject of such claim, which such commercially reasonable alternative is subject to the prior written approval of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood that any and all costs or other Losses imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising out of such alternative shall, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, be considered indemnifable Losses). Purchaser shall not be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) in an aggregate amount in excess of the Indemnification Cap.
(b) In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made or could be made under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) payments recovered by the Indemnified Party under indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses (after deduction for any cost of collection, deductible, retroactive premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other cost or expense directly related thereto) (each, a “Collateral Source”), (ii) any prior recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses, including by such Loss being included as a Liability in Final Net Working Capital and actually resulting in an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.4(f), or (iii) any Tax Benefit actually received by a Purchased Entity with respect to such Losses in the year of the indemnity payment or a prior year, but increased by the amount of any Tax detriment actually paid by any Indemnified Party as a result of such party’s receipt of the indemnification payment with respect to such Loss. In the event of any indemnification claim paid, Honeywell may, in its sole discretion, require the Indemnified Party to grant to Honeywell an assignment of the right of such Indemnified Party to assert a claim against any Collateral Source. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under this Article X or Article VIII is determined after payment of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party under this Article X or Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article X or Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.
(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Article X, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) in no event shall the Sellers or Purchaser be liable for any punitive damages, except to the extent such damages are payable to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) in no event shall the Sellers be liable for any consequential damages (it being understood and agreed that the term “consequential damages” used herein shall not include damages related to lost profits, diminution in value (including multiple of earnings or similar metrics for measuring damages), nor damages payable to an unaffiliated third party) arising out of indemnification claims for Excluded Liabilities described in Sections 2.5(a)(iv), (v)(A), (vii)(B), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), and (xiv) and Section 2.5(b)(vi) (each such indemnification claim, a “Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim”) in excess of $28,000,000; provided that the foregoing limitation on consequential damages shall not apply to the extent any such Excluded Liability relates to the Excluded Assets, the Purchased Entities’ Excluded Assets, or operation or conduct by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates of any business (other than the Business). Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to, in good faith, (x) agree upon what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages in connection with the settlement of a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim and (y) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Governmental Authority to determine what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages as part of any Governmental Order that is entered by such Governmental Authority in connection with a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim.
(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, after the Closing, indemnification and specific performance pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, Section 6.14 and Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any and all claims (whether in contract or in tort) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (other than remedies set forth in the Ancillary Agreements with regard to the transactions contemplated thereby), including in respect of any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, as a material inducement to the Sellers entering into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any claim or cause of action, known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen, which it or any of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties may have against any Seller or any of its Affiliates, including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities Laws, trade regulation Laws or other Laws (including any relating to Intellectual Property, products liability (including Products Liability Claims), Tax, environmental, real estate or employee matters), by reason of this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein, except for claims or causes of action brought under and subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions contained in this Article X and Article VIII. All payments made pursuant to this Article X and Article VIII shall be made by the Sellers to Purchaser or by Purchaser to the Sellers, as the case may be, and shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Article X shall limit any claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party alleging that Sellers defrauded such Person by intentionally omitting or misstating any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule where such omission or misstatement constitutes a breach in any material respect of any express representation or warranty, which claims shall, in any case, be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.23, 5.7(a)-(d), 11.7 and 11.8.
(e) The Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, so that a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof. In particular, the parties acknowledge that the Business is unique and recognize and affirm that in the event that the Sellers breach this Agreement, money damages would be inadequate and Purchaser would have no adequate remedy at law, so that Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the Sellers’ obligations hereunder not only by action for damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive, and/or other equitable relief.
Funding Indemnification If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.
Indemnification Notice In the event that: (i) an event occurs which gives a Person a right to indemnification hereunder; or (ii) any third party claim is asserted against a Person with respect to which such Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, within sixty (60) days of the later of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim or the date that the indemnified party learned of such claim (provided, however, that if a claim arises by virtue of litigation, then in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the date in which an appearance or answer is due, whichever is earlier), notify the Person obligated to indemnify it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim by delivery of a written notice describing the claim and indicating the basis for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such claim, to conduct at its expenses the defense against such claim in its own name, or if necessary in the name of the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party fails to give such notice, it shall be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject claim, and in such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct such defense and, only with the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to compromise and settle the claim. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does elect to conduct the defense of the subject claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested by it, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to participate in the defense, provided that the Indemnified Party will have the right to compromise and settle the claim only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Any settlement to which the Indemnifying Party shall have consented in writing shall conclusively be deemed to be an obligation with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
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; 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.
