(b) The provisions of the Organizational Documents of Parent with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of Parent that are set forth in the Organizational Documents of Parent as of the date of this Agreement shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of Parent. The Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and Parent shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers as those set forth in the Organizational Documents of Parent as of the date of this Agreement.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, with an effective date as of the Closing Date, on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public companies similarly situated to Parent. In addition, Parent shall purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six (6)-year prepaid “tail policy” (the “D&O Tail Policy”) for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Parent’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time. During the term of the D&O Tail Policy, Parent shall not take any action following the Effective Time to cause the D&O Tail Policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived in any manner that would adversely affect in any material respect the rights of their former and current officers and directors.

The provisions of this Section 5.7 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of Parent and the Company by Law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.
(g) From and after the Effective Time, in the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.7. The obligations set forth in this Section 5.7 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any D&O Indemnified Party, or any person who is a beneficiary under the policies referred to in this Section 5.7 and their heirs and representatives, without the prior written consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party or other person

Without limiting the foregoing, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain for a period of not less than six years from the Closing provisions in its respective certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of officers and directors/managers that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of such certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents as of the Original Agreement Date and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law. All rights to indemnification and advancement conferred under this Section 7.01 shall continue as to any indemnified Person who has ceased to be a director/manager or officer of Acquiror, the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries at or after the Closing and inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.
(b) Acquiror shall purchase, at or prior to the Closing, and Acquiror shall or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to maintain in effect for a period of six years from the Closing Date, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently covered by Acquiror or the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to Acquiror or its agents or representatives) on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall Acquiror or its Subsidiaries be required to pay an aggregate premium for such insurance in excess of 300% of the annual premium payable in the aggregate by Acquiror, the Company, and the Company’s Subsidiaries for such insurance policies for the year ended December 31, 2021; provided, however, that (i) Acquiror may cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing (the “D&O Tail”) and (ii) if any claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.01 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.01 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on Acquiror and the Company and all successors and assigns of Acquiror and the Company. If Acquiror or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Acquiror or the Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.01.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers (a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation agrees to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, and subject to the limitations of the BCL, each present and past officer, director, employee, representative or agent (other than Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx), of the Company (or any subsidiary or division thereof), including, without limitation, each person controlling any of the foregoing persons (individually, an "Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or pertaining to acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, by them in their capacities as such, whether commenced, asserted or claimed before or after the Effective Time. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (an "Action"), (i) the Surviving Corporation shall advance the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent, in advance of the final disposition of any such action; provided, however, that prior to advancement of fees and expenses, the Indemnified Party shall provide an undertaking in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Corporation, and (ii) the Surviving Corporation will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and provided, further, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any single Action except to the extent that, in the opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Parties, to do so would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between or among such parties.
(b) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall not amend the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws providing for exculpation of director and officer liability and indemnification, except as required by applicable law.

(d) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation agrees to, pay all expenses, including attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Parties in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.9.
(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights such Indemnified Party has under the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, under the BCL or otherwise. This Section 6.9 is intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Newco, the Company and the Surviving Corporation.
