Litigation and Environmental Matters (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions. (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability. (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.
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.
Environmental Matters (i) There are, to the Company’s knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.
Certain Environmental Matters (i) The Company and its subsidiaries (x) are in compliance with all, and have not violated any, applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws (including common law), rules, regulations, requirements, decisions, judgments, decrees, orders and other legally enforceable requirements relating to pollution or the protection of human health or safety, the environment, natural resources, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (collectively, “Environmental Laws”); (y) have received and are in compliance with all, and have not violated any, permits, licenses, certificates or other authorizations or approvals required of them under any Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses; and (z) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability or obligation under or relating to, or any actual or potential violation of, any Environmental Laws, including for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, and have no knowledge of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to result in any such notice, and (ii) there are no costs or liabilities associated with Environmental Laws of or relating to the Company or its subsidiaries, except in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, for any such matter as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) except as described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (x) there is no proceeding that is pending, or that is known to be contemplated, against the Company or any of its subsidiaries under any Environmental Laws in which a governmental entity is also a party, other than such proceeding regarding which it is reasonably believed no monetary sanctions of $100,000 or more will be imposed, (y) the Company and its subsidiaries are not aware of any facts or issues regarding compliance with Environmental Laws, or liabilities or other obligations under Environmental Laws or concerning hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (z) none of the Company or its subsidiaries anticipates material capital expenditures relating to any Environmental Laws.
Notice of Environmental Matters Promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days from the date Lessee has actual knowledge thereof, Lessee shall provide to Lessor written notice of any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding involving any Environmental Law or any Release on or in connection with any Property or Properties. All such notices shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, action or proceeding and Lessee's proposed response thereto. In addition, Lessee shall provide to Lessor, within five (5) Business Days of receipt, copies of all material written communications with any Governmental Authority relating to any Environmental Law in connection with any Property. Lessee shall also promptly provide such detailed reports of any such material environmental claims as may reasonably be requested by Lessor.
Environmental Indemnification Borrower shall protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, actions, causes of action, costs or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and any and all claims, suits and judgments which any Indemnified Party may suffer, as a result of or with respect to: (a) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Property; (b) the violation of any Environmental Law in connection with the Property; (c) any release, spill, or the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Property; and (d) the presence at, in, on or under, or the release, escape, seepage, leakage, discharge or migration at or from, the Property of any Hazardous Materials, whether or not such condition was known or unknown to Borrower; provided that, in each case, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation under this subsection if any of the matters referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above did not occur (but need not have been discovered) prior to (1) the foreclosure of the Security Instrument, (2) the delivery by Borrower to Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Property, or (3) Lender’s or its designee’s taking possession and control of the Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at Borrower’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable. Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party for damage or loss resulting from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance (a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, exculpation, and advancement of expenses existing in favor of the current or former directors and officers of the Company as provided in the Company Organizational Documents, employment agreements, or elsewhere for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, including in respect of the Merger Transactions, shall be assumed and performed by the Surviving Corporation and shall continue in full force and effect until the later of six years after the Effective Time or the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any such claims against directors or officers of the Company arising out of such acts or omissions, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. (b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance in respect of acts, errors or omissions occurring on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the Merger Transactions, covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policies in effect on the date hereof. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if, at or prior to the Effective Time, the Company or Parent (on behalf of the Surviving Corporation) shall purchase six (6) year prepaid “tail” policies on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms no less favorable than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Effective Time, except that the Company may not commit or spend on such “tail” policies annual premiums in excess of 300% of the annual premiums paid by the Company in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof for the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “Base Amount”), and if such premiums for such “tail” policies would exceed 300% of the Base Amount, then the Company shall purchase policies that provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 300% of the Base Amount. The Company shall in good faith cooperate with Parent prior to the Effective Time with respect to the procurement of such “tail” policies, subject to such policy being fully prepaid, including with respect to the selection of the broker, available policy price and coverage options. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder. (c) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successor and assign of Parent or the Surviving Corporation assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 5.4.
Other Indemnification Matters Any claim for indemnification under this Article X must be asserted by providing written notice to the other parties specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by the Person asserting the claim. The right to indemnification will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date hereof, with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS ARTICLE X WILL BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY PERSON ALLEGES OR PROVES THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED ON THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION OR ITS AFFILIATES. THE WAIVER OF ANY CONDITION BASED ON THE ACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, OR ON THE PERFORMANCE OF OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY COVENANT OR AGREEMENT, WILL NOT AFFECT THE RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION, PAYMENT OF DAMAGES, OR OTHER REMEDY BASED ON ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT OR AGREEMENT. If any party liquidates or dissolves at any time when any Liability of such party with respect to this Article X may thereafter arise or be determined, then at the time of such liquidation or dissolution, such party will cause its shareholders, members, partners or other equity holders or distributees of such party’s assets, as the case may be, to take such assets subject to such Liabilities ratably in proportion to the assets received; provided, however, that the failure on behalf of any party to comply with the covenant set forth in this sentence will in no way reduce such party’s obligations in this Agreement.
Survival and Indemnification 8.1 All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the parties hereto. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations period, and all representations, warranties and covenants to be made or performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing until made or performed and for the applicable statute of limitations period after their due date. The indemnity obligations of each party to this Agreement shall terminate (absent fraud or intentional misrepresentation) one year from the Closing Date. Any claim for indemnification that is asserted within one year of the Closing Date shall survive until resolved or judicially determined. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation, verification or examination by any party hereto or by anyone on behalf of any such party. 8.2.1 GLCP shall hold harmless and defend ITEC and its successors and assigns from and against any and all claims related to, caused by or arising from (a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement of GLCP set forth in this Agreement, or any other misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to fulfill a covenant or agreement by GLCP contained in any agreement or other document delivered pursuant hereto, or (b) any and all claims of third parties made based upon facts alleged that, if true, would have constituted such a misrepresentation, breach or failure. 8.2.2 ITEC shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend GLCP and its representatives, officers, members, managers, directors, affiliates, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims related to, caused by or arising from (i) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement of ITEC contained herein or in any agreement or other document delivered pursuant hereto, or (ii) any and all claims of third parties made based upon facts alleged that, if true, would constitute such a misrepresentation, breach or failure. 8.3 The party seeking indemnification under this article (the "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the "Indemnifying Party") of the facts and circumstances giving rise to any claim, provided, however, that an Indemnified Party's failure to give such notice shall not impair or otherwise affect such Indemnified Party's right to indemnification except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by such failure. All rights contained in this article are cumulative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies, which are otherwise available, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. All indemnification rights shall be deemed to apply in favor of the indemnified party's officers, directors, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns. 8.4 The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless legal action shall have been instituted against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such suit within fifteen (15) days after notification thereof as provided herein. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnification hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim by a person other than the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim without prejudice to the right of the Indemnifying Party thereafter to contest its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect to the claims asserted therein. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel to conduct the defense in such claims and at its sole cost and expense shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnifying Party admits in writing its liability to hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out of such settlement. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such action with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the Indemnified Party may defend such claim in such a manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such claim after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and in any action by the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the provisions of this article, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement. In the event of a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such action (including making a personal contact with the third party if deemed beneficial) and the relevant records of party shall be made available on a timely basis.
Exculpation and Indemnification (a) No Member, Manager, Officer, employee or agent of the Company and no affiliate, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of the Member (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other person or entity who is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall have no personal liability on account thereof. (c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section. (d) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by the person or entity as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other person or entity’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid. (e) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. (f) The foregoing provisions of this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
