Indemnification for Taxes (a) Seller Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates, including, after the Closing, the Company (each herein sometimes referred to as an “Indemnified Taxpayer”), against, and protect, save and hold harmless each Indemnified Taxpayer from, any and all Damages directly resulting from:
(i) any Taxes of the Company allocable to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or, as provided in Section 7.3(b), allocable to the pre-Closing portion of any period that begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date;
(ii) any Taxes of any other Person imposed on the Company (or Buyer as a result of the Company being a disregarded entity post-Closing) (A) as a result of any written Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement in effect on or prior to the Closing Date, (B) as a transferee or successor, or otherwise under applicable Legal Requirements (which Taxes described in this clause (B) relate to an event or transaction occurring on or prior to the Closing Date), or (C) by reason of being a member, partner or similar owner of an equity interest in a partnership, limited liability company or other entity classified as a partnership pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Legal Requirements;
(iii) the portion of any Transfer Taxes that are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to Section 7.2(d); or
(iv) any breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement relating to Taxes or Tax Returns.
(i) If a written claim is made by any Tax Authority that, if successful, would result in the indemnification of an Indemnified Taxpayer, the Indemnified Taxpayer shall promptly notify Seller Representative in writing of such fact; provided that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Taxpayer except to the extent the rights of the indemnifying party are actually materially prejudiced.
(ii) Seller Representative shall have the right to defend against any claim under subsection (b)(i) at Sellers’ expense and with counsel of Seller Representative’s choice so long as (A) Buyer is kept reasonably informed of the status and progress of such claim and related proceedings, (B) Buyer and Bxxxx’s counsel are allowed to participate at Bxxxx’s expense in such claim and related proceedings, (C) Seller Representative’s counsel with respect to such claim is approved by Buyer in its reasonable discretion and Seller Representative conducts the defense of the claim actively and diligently, and (D) if the applicable Indemnified Taxpayer is requested to pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund, and if so requested by Bxxxx, Sellers shall have advanced to such Indemnified Taxpayer, on an interest free basis, the full amount such Indemnified Taxpayer is requested to pay. If any of the conditions in clauses (A) through (D) above is or becomes unsatisfied, then (x) Buyer and the applicable Indemnified Taxpayer may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and neither Buyer nor any Indemnified Taxpayer need consult with, or obtain any consent from, Sellers or Seller Representative in connection therewith), (y) Sellers will reimburse Buyer and the Indemnified Taxpayer promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the claim (including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements) and (z) Sellers will remain responsible for any Damages Buyer or any other Indemnified Taxpayer may suffer to the fullest extent provided in this Section 7.2.
(iii) Seller Representative shall not be entitled to settle or to contest any claim relating to Taxes without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if, in the good faith judgment of Buyer, the settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the claim would reasonably be expected to adversely affect any Indemnified Taxpayer.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties under this Article VI shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days following the end of the applicable statutes of limitations. With respect to any indemnification obligation for any Tax for which a Tax Authority asserts a claim within ninety (90) days before the end of the applicable statute of limitations, an Indemnified Taxpayer shall be treated as having provided timely notice to such Seller Party by providing written notice to Seller Representative on or before the ninetieth (90th) day after the Indemnified Taxpayer’s receipt of a written assertion of the claim by the Tax Authority.
(d) Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall divide evenly the financial responsibility for all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”), and Seller Representative will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
Indemnification for Additional Expenses Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee against and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall reimburse Indemnitee for, or advance to Indemnitee, within five business days of such request accompanied by supporting documentation for specific Expenses to be reimbursed or advanced, any and all actual and reasonable Expenses paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Claim made, instituted or conducted by Indemnitee for (a) indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under any provision of this Agreement, or under any other agreement or provision of the Constituent Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Indemnifiable Claims, and/or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company; provided, however, if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification, reimbursement, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be, then the Indemnitee shall be obligated to repay any such Expenses to the Company; provided further, that, regardless in each case of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, reimbursement, advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be, Indemnitee shall return, without interest, any such advance of Expenses (or portion thereof) which remains unspent at the final disposition of the Claim to which the advance related.
Indemnification Etc 55 9.1 Survival of Representations, Etc.............................................................. 55 9.2
Indemnification for Attorneys’ Fees (a) The Employer shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Executive against reasonable costs, including legal fees and expenses, incurred by him in connection with 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. For purposes of this Agreement, any settlement agreement which provides for payment of any amounts in settlement of the Employer’s obligations hereunder shall be conclusive evidence of the Executive’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder, and any such indemnification payments shall be in addition to amounts payable pursuant to such settlement agreement, unless such settlement agreement expressly provides otherwise.
(b) The Employer’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Employer may have against the Executive or others. Unless it is determined that a claim made by the Executive was either frivolous or made in bad faith, the Employer agrees to pay as incurred (and in any event no later than March 15 of the year immediately following the year in which incurred), to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of or in connection with his consultation with legal counsel or arising out of any action, suit, proceeding or contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Employer, the Executive or others regarding the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code. This Section 20(b) shall apply whether such consultation, action, suit, proceeding or contest arises before, on, after or as a result of a Change in Control.
Indemnification Determinations Indemnification of an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 8.4 shall be made if (a) the court or body before whom the proceeding is brought determines, in a final decision on the merits, that such Indemnified Person was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct or (b) in the absence of such a determination, a majority of a quorum of disinterested, non-party Trustees or independent legal counsel in a written opinion make a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that such Indemnified Person was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct. In making such a determination, the Board of Trustees of the Trust shall act in conformity with then applicable law and administrative interpretations, and shall afford a Trustee requesting indemnification who is not an “interested person” of the Trust, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, a rebuttable presumption that such Trustee did not engage in disabling conduct while acting in his capacity as a Trustee.
Indemnification; D&O Insurance (a) From and after the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, (i) indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company and each Subsidiary (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any of the Company Indemnified Parties in connection with any Liabilities or any Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company or any Subsidiary (as applicable) would have been permitted under Applicable Law and under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Company or such Subsidiary (as applicable), in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement (but in each case, subject to the limitations on the Surviving Corporation’s ability to indemnify its directors and officers under Section 145 of the DGCL), to indemnify such Company Indemnified Parties and (ii) advance reasonable expenses (including legal counsel fees) as incurred by any Company Indemnified Party in connection with any matters for which such Company Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from Parent pursuant to this Section 6.04 to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law or, if greater, under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary (as applicable), in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction and all rights of appeal have lapsed that such Company Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under Applicable Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary (as applicable), and pursuant to this Section 6.04. In connection with clause (ii) above, to the extent monies are not provided for in advance, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall reimburse the applicable Company Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt by the Parent or Surviving Corporation of a written claim therefor.
(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or policies (i.e., “tail coverage”), which policy or policies shall cover those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for an aggregate period of not less than 6 years from the Effective Time with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time, including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the premium for which shall be treated as an Unpaid Transaction Expense.
(c) The terms and provisions of this Section 6.04 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the Company Indemnified Parties by Applicable Law, charter, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Company Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and representatives, each of whom is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 6.04.
Indemnification for Third Party Claims
(a) Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its shareholders and Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against all third party Claims and Liabilities for injury, including death, and property damage caused by, arising out of, or in connection with the performance by any Project Party of the Transaction Documents to the extent any of such Claims or Liabilities were caused by the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, the Contractor, any Subcontractor, and its respective employees or agents.
(b) Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its managers, officers, employees and agents, from and against all third party Claims and Liabilities for injury, including death, and property damage caused by, arising out of, or in connection with the performance of the Transaction Documents to the extent any of such Claims or Liabilities were caused by the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer, its employees or agents.
(c) Either Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the Party required to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any Claim as to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, and the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of any Claim or litigation resulting therefrom; provided that:
(i) counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such Claim or litigation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party;
(ii) the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense, except the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for its participation in such defense to the extent that the Indemnifying Party requests the Indemnified Party to participate in its own defense; and
(iii) the omission by the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that such omission results in a failure of actual notice to the Indemnifying Party and Indemnifying Party is damaged as a result of such failure to give notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party may not settle any Claim related to the indemnity being provided hereunder without the consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
(d) With regard to any Claim or Liability which is the result of the joint or concurrent fault or negligence of Seller and Buyer, the Parties agree to jointly defend any Claim with respect thereto that is based on such joint or concurrent fault or negligence of Buyer and Seller. Any Claim of contribution or indemnification between Buyer and Seller relating to such Claims shall be resolved on the basis of the percentage of fault or negligence and the Parties agree to reserve the determination of such percentage until after resolution of such Claim. Such pro rata share shall be based upon a final judicial determination of the Parties’ comparative fault or negligence or, in the absence of such determination, by mutual agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 26.1 is intended to allow any Indemnified Party to be indemnified from and against any third party Claims and Liabilities caused by, arising out of, or in connection with the performance of this Agreement to the extent any of such Claims or Liabilities were caused by, arose out of, or were in any way incidental to or in connection with its own negligence or intentional misconduct.
Compensation, Expenses and Indemnification (a) The Company shall pay to the Auction Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it under this Agreement and under the Broker-Dealer Agreements as shall be set forth in a separate writing signed by the Company and the Auction Agent, subject to adjustments if the AMPS no longer are held of record by the Securities Depository or its nominee or if there shall be such other change as shall increase materially the Auction Agent's obligations hereunder or under the Broker-Dealer Agreements.
(b) The Company shall reimburse the Auction Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Auction Agent in accordance with any provision of this Agreement and of the Broker-Dealer Agreements (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any expense, disbursement or advance attributable to its negligence or bad faith.
(c) The Company shall indemnify the Auction Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with its agency under this Agreement and under the Broker-Dealer Agreements, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in connection with its exercise or performance of any of its duties hereunder and thereunder, except such as may result from its negligence or bad faith.
LEGAL INDEMNIFICATION For the purposes of legal costs, it shall include those costs of an Association approved para-legal service.
(A) Subject to the other provisions of this Article, a member charged with and finally acquitted of a criminal or statutory offence because of acts done in the performance or attempted performance of his employment or duties, shall be indemnified for the necessary and reasonable legal costs incurred in the defence of such charges.
(B) Members shall not be indemnified for legal costs arising from the actions or omissions of members acting in their capacity as private citizens. For the purpose of Clause 29.1 (A) a Member: shall be deemed to have been "Finally Acquitted", where charges are withdrawn or where he is discharged following a preliminary inquiry; and shall be deemed not to have been "Finally Acquitted" where the member is given an absolute or conditional discharge or where, if as a result of charges laid he is subsequently found guilty of, or pleads guilty to, other charges arising out of the same incident or incidents.
29.2 When a member is a defendant in a civil action for damages because of acts done in the course of his employment or duties he shall be indemnified for the necessary and reasonable legal costs incurred in the defence of such an action in the following circumstances only:
(i) where the Board is not joined in the action as a party pursuant to s. 50 of the Police Services Act, and the Board does not defend the action on behalf of itself and the member as joint tortfeasors at the Board's sole expense;
(ii) where the Board is joined as a party or elects to defend the action, but the Solicitor retained on behalf of the Board and the member is of the view that it would be improper for him to act for both the Board and the member in that action.
29.3 Where during an inquest under the Coroner's Act a member's conduct is called into question because of acts done in the performance of his duties, the member shall be indemnified for any necessary and reasonable legal costs directly arising from the protection of the member's interest at such inquiry, but only if:
(i) the Chief of Police or the Board does not provide counsel to represent the York Regional Police, at the Board's expense; or
(ii) in the opinion of counsel retained by the Chief of Police or the Board to represent the York Regional Police, it would be improper for him to represent the member and the Chief and/or the Board before that inquiry.
29.4 To qualify for financial assistance under 29.1, 29.2 or 29.3, the member shall obtain the Board's approval of counsel to be retained by the member by application to the Board through the Chief. The Board's approval of counsel shall not be withheld unreasonably.
29.5 The Board will not consider any application for financial assistance which relates to the legal representation of a member in connection with a grievance or complaint made under the provisions of the Police Services Act, 1990 of this Collective Agreement or for the legal defence of a member resulting from a discipline charge made under the Police Services Act, 1990, Regulations made under that Act and all amendments thereto.
29.6 Where an investigation is commenced under Part VII of the Police Services Act and it appears to the Chief of Police that a member requires legal counsel in responding to the investigation, the Chief of Police may arrange for legal counsel to provide counsel to the member in connection with the investigation of such terms as the Chief considers appropriate. As soon as practicable, the Chief shall bring his action and his recommendation to the attention of the Board who may approve or alter the terms of retention of such legal counsel or the Chief's recommendation in respect thereof. Neither the Board nor the Chief shall provide legal counsel after the completion of the investigation or the laying of information(s), as Article 29 of the Civilian Collective Agreement is intended to govern such matters.
29.7 All sections under Article 29 (Legal Indemnification) are subject to review and re- negotiation by either the Board or the Association when the Regulations of the Police Services Act are proclaimed in force. If changes cannot be negotiated then either party reserves the right to submit the terms of this Article to arbitration.
29.8 A member who becomes involved in a matter which may entitle him/her to legal indemnification under this clause is entitled to receive funds from the Board for a retainer and/or for interim payment of legal costs as reasonably requested by the member’s counsel to a maximum of $5,000.00 provided the member undertakes to indemnify the Board for such funds advanced to him if the member is finally determined not to be eligible for indemnification in accordance with this Agreement.
Indemnification for Expenses of an Indemnitee Who is Wholly or Partially Successful Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, made a party to (or otherwise becomes a participant in) any Proceeding and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee under this Section 7 for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each such claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Section 7 and, without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
