(ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral;
(iii) the exercise or enforcement or protection of any right of Secured Party hereunder; or
(iv) the failure by Debtor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
Notice and Payment of Claims If any Crown Indemnitee or Constar Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”) determines that it is or may be entitled to indemnification by any party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under Article VI of this Agreement (other than in connection with any Action subject to Section 6.5), the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to the extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification and the amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is entitled to be indemnified. Within 30 days after receipt of that notice, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party that amount in cash or other immediately available funds unless the Indemnifying Party objects to the claim for indemnification or the amount of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not give the Indemnified Party written notice objecting to that indemnity claim and setting forth the grounds for the objection(s) within that 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its liability for that claim and the Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of its rights under applicable law to collect that amount. If there is a timely objection by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the amount, if any, that is Finally Determined to be required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of that indemnity claim within 15 days after that indemnity claim has been so Finally Determined.
Indemnification and Expenses (a) To the extent not previously paid pursuant to Section 4.12(e) of the Prior Agreement, the Company shall (and each of the Shareholders shall take all actions in its capacity as a shareholder necessary to) cause KMI to promptly pay or reimburse each Shareholder for any and all out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, financial advisors and other consultants or advisors) incurred by such Shareholder or its Affiliates (i) as of or prior to the date hereof in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 28, 2006 among KMI, Knight Acquisition Co. and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) as of, prior to or after the date hereof in connection with any shareholder litigation in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including any amounts paid as damages or in settlement thereof. Any fees and expenses for which any Shareholder is entitled to payment or reimbursement pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid or reimbursed promptly after such fees or expenses are incurred by such Shareholder and notice thereof is provided to the Company.
(b) From and after the date hereof, all reasonable fees and expenses of each Investor Shareholder (with respect to all periods prior to such Investor Shareholder ceasing to hold Class A Shares or Related Shares) and their counsel related to the administration of, and their rights and obligations under, the Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, provided, that such fees and expenses must be approved in advance by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(c) All fees and expenses (including legal and other advisory fees and expenses) of the Investor Shareholders and their Affiliates incident to the IPO, including with respect to the evaluation, preparation, negotiation, structuring (tax, accounting, legal or otherwise), implementation and consummation thereof, and with respect to previously contemplated potential structures for an initial public offering of Knight Holdco LLC (or Subsidiaries or parent companies of Knight Holdco LLC) pursuant to the Prior Agreement, shall be borne by the Company, and shall be paid or reimbursed promptly after presentation of an invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be responsible for any underwriting discounts or commissions or for fees and expenses of any Investor Shareholder or its Affiliates in their capacity as an underwriter of the IPO pursuant to this Section 7.12(c).
(d) With respect to any indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 5.8 and Section 7.12 of this Agreement, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to all indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 5.8 and Section 7.12 of this Agreement (i.e., its obligations to an applicable indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Investor Shareholders and their Affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”) to advance expenses or to provide indemnification and/or insurance for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitee are secondary) and (ii) 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. For clarification, this Section 7.12(d) shall have no impact on the Selling Shareholders’ indemnification obligations under Section 5.8(b) of this Agreement or the parties’ respective contribution obligations as set forth under Section 5.8(f), and the Company is not waiving, relinquishing or releasing any claims against the Selling Shareholders that may arise under Section 5.8(b) or, with respect to the parties’ respective contribution obligations, Section 5.8(f).
(i) Each Person that is included within the definition of a particular Investor Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations of any Class A Shareholder under Section 2.3(b) of this Agreement (arising in respect of such Investor Shareholder’s Class A Series) if such Class A Shareholder also is within the definition of such particular Investor Shareholder.
(ii) In the event that any Person (the “Applicable Seller”) included within the definition of a particular Investor Shareholder converts any Class A Shares in order to Transfer Class P Shares at a time when all other holders of Class A Shares of such Investor Shareholder’s Class A Series are not converting the same pro rata share of their Class A Shares in order to Transfer Class P Shares (such conversion and Transfer by the Applicable Seller, the “Applicable Transaction”), each Person that is included within the definition of such Investor Shareholder (the “Indemnifying Shareholders”) agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Company, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, the holders of Class B Shares in such series and the holders of Class C Shares in such series from and against all Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any lawsuit, claim, litigation or proceeding in which the indemnified party is included, brought by one or more investors or partners in any Person that is included within such definition of such particular Investor Shareholder, alleging a Loss based on the non-pro rata nature of the Applicable Transaction; provided, that this Section 7.12(e) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the indemnified parties with respect to any such Losses caused by, resulting from or relating to any such lawsuit, claim, litigation or proceeding.
Indemnification of the QIU Without limitation and in addition to its obligation under the other subsections of this Section 5, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Odeon, in its capacity as the QIU, its directors, officers, agents, partners, members and employees and each Controlling Person from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense, as incurred, arising out of or based upon the QIU’s acting as a “qualified independent underwriter” (within the meaning of Rule 5121 of the Rules of FINRA) in connection with the Offering contemplated by this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified person for any legal or other expense reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the QIU.
