Indemnification in Derivative Actions and Direct Actions by the Company Subject to Section 10 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, against any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of such proceedings.

(d) arise as a result of any failure by the Fund to provide the services and furnish the materials under the terms of this Agreement (including, but not by way of limitation, a failure, whether unintentional or in good faith or otherwise: (i) to comply with the diversification requirements specified in Sections 2.4 and 6.1 in Article VI of this Agreement; and (ii) to provide the Company with accurate information sufficient for it to calculate its accumulation and/or annuity unit values in timely fashion as required by law and by the Contracts Prospectuses); or
(e) arise out of any material breach by the Fund of this Agreement. This indemnification will be in addition to any liability which the Fund may otherwise have; provided, however, that no party shall be entitled to indemnification if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the party seeking indemnification.
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 by Supplier Supplier covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Eargo, its Affiliate(s), Approved Buyer(s), and their respective agents, contractors, officers, directors, employees and Representatives (including any combination of the Eargo, its Affiliate(s), Approved Buyer(s) or their respective agents, contractors, officers, directors, employees and Representatives) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, allegations, losses, damages, settlements, governmental fines and penalties, and all other liabilities, including attorneys’ and other professional fees and court costs, and all costs and expenses, arising out of or related to: (a) the Units, or any portion thereof, on their own or in combination with any other goods and services, infringe any rights or IPR of a third party (collectively, “Third Party IPR”) where such Third Party IPR relates to Supplier’s Manufacturing Process, or manufacturing, packaging, testing, or other Services provided under this Agreement, excluding Product design and materials or equipment consigned to Supplier by Eargo; (b) personal injury or property damage resulting, directly or indirectly from the Units or Services (including any Hazard), the performance of Supplier’s obligations hereunder, or the fault or negligence of Supplier or the Supplier Parties; (c) negligent, willful or reckless acts or omissions, dishonesty or fraud of or by Supplier or any Supplier Parties; (d) a breach or alleged breach by Supplier or any Supplier Parties of any provision or clause (e.g., Supplier or Supplier Parties act in contravention of any clause or perform acts contrary to the terms specified in this Agreement) of this Agreement; (e) any claim or cause of action anywhere in the world asserted against Eargo or any of the Indemnified Parties alleging or in connection with alleged defects in the assembly or manufacturing of the Product(s); or (f) violations of law in the manufacture of the Products; (each a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”).
Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims (a) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion of any Third Party Claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12.4, such Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within 20 days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnified Party or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 12.4 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 12.4, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and to seek to settle or compromise), at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within 30 days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 12.4(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of such Indemnified Party except as set forth in the next sentence. If the Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions in such notice, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnified parties shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Indemnified Party for payment of any such fees and expenses to the extent that it establishes that such reservations and exceptions were proper.
(c) If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election as provided in Section 12.4(b) such Indemnified Party may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.
(d) Unless the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party if (i) the effect thereof is to permit any injunction, declaratory judgment, other order or other nonmonetary relief to be entered, directly or indirectly against such Indemnified Party and (ii) such settlement does not include an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Third Party Claim.
