Indemnification Matters The Company hereby acknowledges that one (1) or more of the directors nominated to serve on the Board of Directors by the Investors (each a “Fund Director”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more of the Investors and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (a) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any such Fund Director are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Fund Director are secondary), (b) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Fund Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Fund Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Fund Director), without regard to any rights such Fund Director may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (c) 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. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any such Fund Director with respect to any claim for which such Fund Director has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Fund Director against the Company.
Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims If a claim by a third party (including claims for breaches of fiduciary duties) is made against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto from the Company (in the case of a Purchaser Indemnified Party seeking such indemnity) or the Purchaser (in the case of a Company Indemnified Party seeking indemnity) (each of the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, in such capacity, an “Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give notice in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable to such Indemnifying Party of any Proceeding commenced against or by it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have on account of this Article VI, so long as such failure shall not have materially prejudiced the position of such Indemnifying Party. Upon such notification, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding brought by a third party, and, after such assumption, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to reimbursement of any expenses thereafter incurred by it in connection with such Proceeding, except as described below. In any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel (including local counsel), but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to promptly assume and thereafter conduct such defense, (ii) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (iii) in the reasonable determination of counsel for the Indemnified Party, representation of such Indemnified Party by counsel obtained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of a third-party claim, shall, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by such Indemnifying Party), but if settled with such consent or if there be final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party will advance expenses to an Indemnified Party as reasonably incurred so long as such indemnified party shall have provided the indemnifying party with a written undertaking to reimburse the indemnifying party for all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder (which shall include breaches of fiduciary duty if permitted above).
Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims In the event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification claim against the Shareholder under this Agreement that does not involve a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice of such claim to the Shareholder in writing and in reasonable detail. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Shareholder shall not relieve the Shareholder from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Shareholder has been actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Shareholder does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Shareholder disputes such claim, such claim specified by the Shareholder in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Shareholder under this Article VII and the Shareholder shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand, or in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim is finally determined. If the Shareholder disputes its liability with respect to such claim in a timely manner, Shareholder and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.9.
Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Sellers In the event the Buyer breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that, if true, would mean the Buyer has breached) any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein, and, if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to Section 6.1 above, provided that any of the Sellers makes a written claim for indemnification against the Buyer pursuant to Section 8.8 below within such survival period, then the Buyer agrees to indemnify each of the Sellers from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences the Seller may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach (or the alleged breach).
Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties (a) An indemnifying party shall not have any liability under Section 9.1(a)(i), Section 9.1(a)(ii) or Section 9.1(b)(i) hereof unless the aggregate amount of Losses and Expenses to the indemnified parties finally determined to arise thereunder based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct, other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.3, 4.11, 4.24 and 4.29 hereof, exceeds $35,000 (the “Basket”) and, in such event, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay the entire amount of such Losses and Expenses in excess of $10,000 (the “Deductible”).
INDEMNIFICATION OF ULTIMUS The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Ultimus from and against any and all Losses arising directly or indirectly out of any action or omission to act which Ultimus takes (i) at any request or on the direction of or in reliance on the reasonable advice of the Trust or any Fund, (ii) upon any instruction, notice or other instrument that Ultimus reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by a duly authorized representative of the Trust or any Fund (other than an employee or other affiliated person of Ultimus who may otherwise be named as an authorized representative of the Trust for certain purposes) or (iii) on its own initiative, in good faith and in accordance with the standard of care set forth herein, in connection with the performance of its duties or obligations hereunder; provided, however that the Trust shall have no obligation to indemnify or reimburse Ultimus under this Section 9 to the extent that Ultimus is entitled to reimbursement or indemnification for such Losses under any liability insurance policy described in this Agreement or otherwise. Ultimus shall not be indemnified against or held harmless from any Losses arising directly or indirectly out of Ultimus’ own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. (As used in this Section 9, the term “Ultimus” shall include directors, officers, employees and other agents of Ultimus as well as Ultimus itself.) The provisions of this paragraph 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Buyer (i) The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates from and against any and all Adverse Consequences the Buyer or any such Affiliate may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences the Buyer or such Affiliate may suffer after the end of any applicable survival period) resulting from, arising out of, or caused by (a) any breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement (other than the representations in Sections 3(l) and 3(m) hereof for which the Seller shall not have any indemnification obligation), (b) any breach of a covenant of the Seller contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement or (c) any Liability of the Seller with respect to the Division or of the Division Subsidiaries of which Seller had Knowledge and which was not disclosed to the Buyer prior to the Closing (regardless of whether the Liability is an Assumed Liability); provided, however, that (x) the Seller shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Buyer and/or its Affiliates from and against any Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by the breach (or alleged breach) of type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above (other than breaches of Section 6(e)) until the Buyer and/or its Affiliates have suffered Adverse Consequences by reason of all such breaches (or alleged breaches) in excess of a $1 million aggregate deductible (after which point the Seller will be obligated only to indemnify the Buyer from and against further such Adverse Consequences), (y) in no event shall the total obligation of the Seller to indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates from and against Adverse Consequences exceed $15 million in the aggregate with respect to Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by breaches (or alleged breaches) of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above (other than breaches of Section 6(e)) which occur within 365 days after the closing date and (z) in no event shall the total obligation of the Seller to indemnify the Buyer and its Affiliates from and against Adverse Consequences during the period beginning 366 days after the closing Date and ending 548 days after the Closing Date, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by breaches (or alleged breaches) of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above (other than breaches of Section 6(e)) exceed the result of $12 million minus any amount actually paid pursuant to clause (y).
Limitation of Liability of Sub-Adviser and Indemnification Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any costs or liabilities arising from any error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss suffered by the Fund or the Trust in connection with the matters to which this Contract relates except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of Sub-Adviser in the performance by Sub-Adviser of its duties or from reckless disregard by Sub-Adviser of its obligations and duties under this Contract. Any person, even though also an officer, partner, employee, or agent of Sub-Adviser, who may be or become a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust, shall be deemed, when rendering services to a Fund or the Trust or acting with respect to any business of a Fund or the Trust to be rendering such service to or acting solely for the Fund or the Trust and not as an officer, partner, employee, or agent or one under the control or direction of Sub-Adviser even though paid by it.
Indemnification of Parent The Services Manager unconditionally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and its subsidiaries and their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and permitted assigns (the “Parent Indemnitees”), from and against, and pay or reimburse such parties for, any losses, claims, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses of any type which they may incur from any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or obligation of the Services Manager contained in this Agreement, unless (i) a court or arbitral panel of appropriate jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that is not subject to appeal such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses are as a result of fraud, dishonesty, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any of the Parent Indemnitees or (ii) such Parent Indemnitees shall have settled such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses without the consent of the Services Manager (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of Buyer In the event (i) either Seller, CFC or Conseco breaches any of its representations and warranties contained in Section 3(a), Section 4 and Section 7(b) above or Seller or CFC breaches any of the covenants contained in this Agreement to be performed by Seller or CFC prior to the Closing Date, and provided that Buyer makes a written claim for indemnification against Seller, CFC and/or Conseco pursuant to this Section 9(b), setting forth in reasonable detail the factual and contractual bases on which such party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, within the applicable survival period specified in Section 9(a) above (such written claims to be submitted on no more than a quarterly basis following the Closing Date and any failure to submit a claim in any one quarter shall not be deemed as a waiver of the right to submit such claim in a subsequent quarter) or (ii) any Third Party Claim or threatened Third Party Claim is made against Buyer that relates to the actions or inactions of Seller with respect to the Business prior to the Closing, then Seller, CFC and Conseco jointly and severally agree to indemnify Buyer from and against any Adverse Consequences Buyer shall suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification caused by such breach. Subject to the further limitations on Conseco's obligations set forth in the next sentence of this Section 9(b), the aggregate amount required to be paid by Seller, CFC and Conseco pursuant to this Section 9(b) (other than amounts payable with respect to claims made under Section 7) shall not exceed $110,000,000, and there shall be no limitation on amounts payable with respect to claims made under Section 7. Conseco shall have no indemnification obligations hereunder following the second anniversary of the Closing Date and its aggregate indemnification obligations hereunder shall be limited to $250,000,000.
