Other Limitations Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the amount of any Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be calculated net of (a) any insurance proceeds actually received in cash (net of any applicable deductibles, co-payments, “retro premium” adjustments and similar costs or payments) by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates on account of such Loss, (b) any Tax Benefits inuring to the Indemnified Party on account of such Loss and (c) any indemnification, contribution or other payment actually received in cash (net of any applicable costs of recovery or collection thereof) from any third Person with respect to such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) seek full recovery from any third parties and under all insurance policies covering, and all right to indemnification and/or contribution from third Persons in respect of, any Loss and (B) mitigate any actual or potential Loss, in each case to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII (including, for example, Buyer’s judgment regarding the impact such actions might have on customers and other third parties having material continuing business relationships with the Sold Companies). In the event that an insurance, indemnification, contribution or other recovery is made or a Tax benefit described in this Section 8.7(b) is realized by the Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which it has been indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery or benefit shall be paid promptly in immediately available funds to the Indemnifying Party that provided such indemnification to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party receives a Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party that made such indemnification payment the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is realized by the Indemnified Party. For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean, with respect to any applicable Loss, any cash Tax savings or refunds that are received and actually recognized by the Indemnified Party in the tax year of the respective Loss, and any amounts actually credited against cash Taxes payable of the Indemnified Party in the tax year of the respective Loss, in each case determined on a with and without basis (comparing the actual cash Tax liability of the Indemnified Party for the applicable year against the hypothetical cash Tax liability of the Indemnified Party had such Loss not been incurred); provided, that no Tax Benefit shall be taken into account with respect to a Loss to the extent such Loss (or the receipt of an indemnity payment in respect of such Loss) would result in a reduction of Tax basis in depreciable or amortizable property; provided, further, that in no event shall the Tax Benefit be deemed to exceed the amount of any indemnification payment paid to the Indemnified Party. The Seller Indemnified Persons or the Buyer Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to recover more than once for the same Loss. No Seller Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover any Loss if and to the extent such Loss is reflected in the calculation of Closing Indebtedness, Unpaid Sold Company Transaction Expenses or Closing Net Working Capital.
Further Limitations Geron shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or applicable securities laws; or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or applicable securities laws.
Liability Limitations This paragraph limits the liabilities arising under this Agreement or any SOW and is a bargained-for and material part of our business relationship with you. You acknowledge and agree that Verticomm would not enter into any SOW or this Agreement unless Verticomm could rely on the limitations described in this paragraph. In no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, special, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages, such as lost revenue, loss of profits (except for fees due and owing to Verticomm), savings, or other indirect or contingent event-based economic loss arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any SOW, or the Services, or for any loss or interruption of data, technology or services, or for any breach hereof or for any damages caused by any delay in furnishing Services under this Agreement or any SOW, even if a party has been advised of the possibility of such damages; however, reasonable attorneys’ fees awarded to a prevailing party (as described below), your indemnification obligations, and any amounts due and payable pursuant to the non-solicitation provision of this Agreement shall not be limited by the foregoing limitation. Except for the foregoing exceptions, a responsible party’s (“Responsible Party’s”) aggregate liability to the other party (“Aggrieved Party”) for damages from any and all claims or causes whatsoever, and regardless of the form of any such action(s), that arise from or relate to this Agreement (collectively, “Claims”), whether in contract, tort, indemnification, or negligence, shall be limited solely to the amount of the Aggrieved Party’s actual and direct damages, not to exceed the amount of fees paid by you (excluding hard costs for licenses, hardware, etc.) to Verticomm for the specific Service upon which the applicable claim(s) is/are based during the three (3) month period immediately prior to the date on which the cause of action accrued. The foregoing limitations shall not apply to the extent that the Claims are caused by a Responsible Party’s willful or intentional misconduct, or gross negligence. Similarly, a Responsible Party’s liability obligation shall be reduced to the extent that a Claim is caused by, or the result of, the Aggrieved Party’s willful or intentional misconduct, or gross negligence.
INSURANCE and INDEMNIFICATION REQUIREMENTS See Exhibit C, attached hereto, for insurance requirements for this Agreement. The COUNTY’S insurance requirements are a material provision to this Agreement.
LIABILITY, INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE The Training Provider is solely responsible for carrying out its obligations under this Contract and the Department is in no way liable for the actions of the Training Provider or the Training Provider Personnel. The Training Provider releases the Department from all liabilities and Claims directly or indirectly incurred or suffered by the Training Provider or the Training Provider Personnel arising from or in connection with the Department's exercise (or purported exercise in good faith) of its rights, powers and functions under this Contract, including termination of this Contract under Clause 17. To the maximum extent permitted by Xxx, the Training Provider indemnifies (and must at all times keep indemnified) the Department, the State and their employees, servants and agents (on behalf of whom the Department has agreed this Clause 13.3) from and against all Loss which it or they may incur or suffer and all Claims which may be brought or made against it or them by any third party arising out of or in connection with: the provision of, or failure to provide, Training Services by or on behalf of the Training Provider; any act or omission of the Training Provider, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors in connection with this Contract, the Funds or the provision of the Training Services; any breach by the Training Provider of any obligation under this Contract (including breach of any warranty given under this Contract, and whether or not the breach is a Material Breach) or at Law; any negligent, fraudulent, reckless, wilfully wrongful, unlawful or other wrongful act or omission of the Training Provider or any Training Provider Personnel as a result of the provision of the Training Services or otherwise in connection with this Contract; the loss of, or damage to, any property (including property of the Department) or data as a result of the provision of the Training Services or otherwise in connection with this Contract; the death of, disease or injury to any person as a result of the provision of the Training Services or otherwise in connection with this Contract; any infringement, or alleged infringement, of any Intellectual Property Rights by the Training Provider or any Training Provider Personnel that occurs directly or indirectly as a result of the provision of the Training Services or otherwise in connection with this Contract; or the Training Provider suspending or otherwise ceasing to deliver the Training Services for any Skills First Student before their completion or withdrawal from a program, including as a result of the Training Provider having a liquidator appointed to it. Loss incurred by the Department in this instance includes Loss incurred as a result of the Department taking steps to assist Skills First Students to transfer to another registered training organisation to continue the training they commenced under this Contract, and may include funding the delivery of that training by that other registered training organisation. The Training Provider's liability to indemnify the Department under Clause 13.3 will be reduced proportionally to the extent that a negligent, wilfully reckless, or unlawful act or omission of the Department has directly caused the relevant Loss or Claim. The Department will not have any liability to the Training Provider for any indirect, special or consequential Loss arising out of breach of this Contract. The Training Provider must, at its own expense: take out (with reputable insurers) all appropriate insurances at an adequate level to cover the provision of the Training Services and any risk, loss or damage arising out of or caused by the performance of those Training Services. This must include workers compensation insurance as required by Law and public liability (of not less than $20 million per event), professional liability and indemnity, and property insurances; maintain each such insurance policy throughout the Term and (in the case of insurances taken out on a claims made basis) for seven years after the expiry of the Term; and comply with insurance requirements, including conducting and improving relevant risk management practices and incident notification processes, and not do any thing to jeopardise indemnity under an insurance policy. The Training Provider must: provide the Department upon request copies of insurance certificates of currency, including details of limits on cover, and any other evidence of insurances maintained; and immediately notify the Department via the SVTS if any insurance is cancelled, any insurance details change or an insurer refuses to indemnify it.
Errors and Omissions, Professional Liability or Malpractice Insurance Contractor may be required to carry errors and omissions, professional liability or malpractice insurance. All policies shall remain in force through the life of this Contract and shall be payable on a "per occurrence" basis unless County specifically consents to a "claims made" basis. The insurer shall supply County adequate proof of insurance and/or a certificate of insurance evidencing coverages and limits prior to commencement of work. Should any of the required insurance policies in this Contract be cancelled or non-renewed, it is the Contractor’s duty to notify the County immediately upon receipt of the notice of cancellation or non-renewal. If Contractor does not carry a required insurance coverage and/or does not meet the required limits, the coverage limits and deductibles shall be set forth on a waiver, Exhibit C, attached hereto. Failure to provide and maintain the insurance required by this Contract will constitute a material breach of this Contract. In addition to any other available remedies, County may suspend payment to the Contractor for any services provided during any time that insurance was not in effect and until such time as the Contractor provides adequate evidence that Contractor has obtained the required coverage.

Limitations on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others Subject to the obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 7.03:
(a) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Indemnified Persons, the Seller, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for taking any action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of such Person's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
(b) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
(c) The Master Servicer, the Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer or the Custodian shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any Servicing Agreement (except to the extent that the Master Servicer is indemnified by the Servicer thereunder), other than (i) any such loss, liability or expense related to the Master Servicer's failure to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement), or to the Custodian's failure to perform its duties under the Custodial Agreement, respectively, or (ii) any such loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's or the Custodian's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement, as applicable.
(d) The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, the Master Servicer may in its discretion, with the consent of the Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Master Servicer Collection Account as provided by Section 4.03. Nothing in this Subsection 7.04(d) shall affect the Master Servicer's obligation to supervise, or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Subsection 3.01(a).
(e) In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties but shall give notice to the Trustee if it has notice of such potential liabilities.
(f) The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
Indemnification Limitations (a) In no event shall the Sellers be liable for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the representations and warranties in Section 4.1 (Corporate Status), Section 4.2 (Authority), the first two sentences of each of Section 4.4(a) and 4.4(b) (Capitalization), Section 4.7 (Taxes), and Section 4.21 (Finder’s Fee) (collectively, the “Excluded Representations”) and Section 4.17 (Sufficiency of Assets)) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses with respect to Section 10.2(a)(i) that are imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds $1,400,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses from the first dollar, including both the Threshold Amount and any amounts in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Sellers shall not (i) be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) in an aggregate amount in excess of $18,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”), or (ii) be liable for indemnification with respect to any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of the Excluded Representations) to the extent such Loss and all Losses arising out of the same facts and circumstances are, in the aggregate, less than $15,000 (each, a “De Minimis Loss”) (and such Losses shall be disregarded and shall not be aggregated for purposes of the Threshold Amount unless and until such Losses arising out of the same facts or circumstances exceed the De Minimis Loss amount). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sellers shall have ninety (90) days after the receipt of an indemnification claim for any Loss by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of Section 4.20(b) (Products Liability; Warranty) in which to propose a commercially reasonable alternative to satisfy such claim, including the repair, replacement or redelivery of any products that are the subject of such claim, which such commercially reasonable alternative is subject to the prior written approval of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (it being understood that any and all costs or other Losses imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising out of such alternative shall, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained herein, be considered indemnifable Losses). Purchaser shall not be required to make payments for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) in an aggregate amount in excess of the Indemnification Cap.
(b) In calculating amounts payable to an Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of any indemnified Losses shall be determined without duplication of any other Loss for which an indemnification claim has been made or could be made under any other representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement and shall be computed net of (i) payments recovered by the Indemnified Party under indemnification agreements or arrangements with third parties or under any insurance policy with respect to such Losses (after deduction for any cost of collection, deductible, retroactive premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other cost or expense directly related thereto) (each, a “Collateral Source”), (ii) any prior recovery by the Indemnified Party from any Person with respect to such Losses, including by such Loss being included as a Liability in Final Net Working Capital and actually resulting in an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.4(f), or (iii) any Tax Benefit actually received by a Purchased Entity with respect to such Losses in the year of the indemnity payment or a prior year, but increased by the amount of any Tax detriment actually paid by any Indemnified Party as a result of such party’s receipt of the indemnification payment with respect to such Loss. In the event of any indemnification claim paid, Honeywell may, in its sole discretion, require the Indemnified Party to grant to Honeywell an assignment of the right of such Indemnified Party to assert a claim against any Collateral Source. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under this Article X or Article VIII is determined after payment of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party under this Article X or Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article X or Article VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.
(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Article X, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) in no event shall the Sellers or Purchaser be liable for any punitive damages, except to the extent such damages are payable to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) in no event shall the Sellers be liable for any consequential damages (it being understood and agreed that the term “consequential damages” used herein shall not include damages related to lost profits, diminution in value (including multiple of earnings or similar metrics for measuring damages), nor damages payable to an unaffiliated third party) arising out of indemnification claims for Excluded Liabilities described in Sections 2.5(a)(iv), (v)(A), (vii)(B), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), and (xiv) and Section 2.5(b)(vi) (each such indemnification claim, a “Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim”) in excess of $28,000,000; provided that the foregoing limitation on consequential damages shall not apply to the extent any such Excluded Liability relates to the Excluded Assets, the Purchased Entities’ Excluded Assets, or operation or conduct by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates of any business (other than the Business). Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to, in good faith, (x) agree upon what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages in connection with the settlement of a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim and (y) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Governmental Authority to determine what portion of damages (if any) constitute consequential damages as part of any Governmental Order that is entered by such Governmental Authority in connection with a Business Related Excluded Liabilities Claim.
(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, after the Closing, indemnification and specific performance pursuant to the provisions of this Article X, Section 6.14 and Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any and all claims (whether in contract or in tort) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (other than remedies set forth in the Ancillary Agreements with regard to the transactions contemplated thereby), including in respect of any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, as a material inducement to the Sellers entering into this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives, from and after the Closing, any claim or cause of action, known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen, which it or any of the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties may have against any Seller or any of its Affiliates, including without limitation under the common law or federal or state securities Laws, trade regulation Laws or other Laws (including any relating to Intellectual Property, products liability (including Products Liability Claims), Tax, environmental, real estate or employee matters), by reason of this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein, except for claims or causes of action brought under and subject to the terms and conditions of the provisions contained in this Article X and Article VIII. All payments made pursuant to this Article X and Article VIII shall be made by the Sellers to Purchaser or by Purchaser to the Sellers, as the case may be, and shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Article X shall limit any claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party alleging that Sellers defrauded such Person by intentionally omitting or misstating any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule where such omission or misstatement constitutes a breach in any material respect of any express representation or warranty, which claims shall, in any case, be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.23, 5.7(a)-(d), 11.7 and 11.8.
(e) The Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, so that a party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof. In particular, the parties acknowledge that the Business is unique and recognize and affirm that in the event that the Sellers breach this Agreement, money damages would be inadequate and Purchaser would have no adequate remedy at law, so that Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the Sellers’ obligations hereunder not only by action for damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive, and/or other equitable relief.
Exculpation, Indemnification, Advances and Insurance (a) Subject to other applicable provisions of this Article V, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnified Persons shall not be liable to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any officer of the Company or a Subsidiary, or any Member or any holder of any equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Company, for any acts or omissions by any of the Indemnified Persons arising from the exercise of their rights or performance of their duties and obligations in connection with the Company, this Agreement or any investment made or held by the Company, including with respect to any acts or omissions made while serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, member, partner, tax matters partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person or any employee benefit plan. The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) (collectively, “Expenses and Liabilities”) arising from the performance of any of their duties or obligations in connection with their service to the Company or this Agreement, or any investment made or held by the Company, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been a manager of the Company under Delaware law, a director or officer of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or the Manager, or an officer, director, member, partner, tax matters partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person or any employee benefit plan at the request of the Company. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including any indebtedness which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has assumed or taken subject to), and the Manager (and its officers) are hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 5.4 in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this Section 5.4(a) that the Company indemnify each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 5.6, are agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the extent permitted by law.
(c) Any indemnification under this Section 5.4 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company unless the Manager determines in the specific case that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is not proper in the circumstances because such person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.4(a). Such determination shall be made in good faith by the Manager; provided that if the Manager or its Affiliates is the Indemnified Person, by a majority vote of the directors of the Sponsor who are not parties to the applicable suit, action or proceeding. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith, notwithstanding an earlier determination by the Manager that the Indemnified Person had not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.4(a).
(d) Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 5.4(c), and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 5.4(a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 5.4(a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 5.4(c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Section 5.4.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement, determination of the Manager, vote of Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 5.4(a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 5.4(a) but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.
(g) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.4 against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any capacity to which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 5.4.
(h) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 5.4 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any person entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.4.
(i) The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Manager, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company and to the employees and agents of any Company Subsidiary or Affiliate similar to those conferred in this Section 5.4 to Indemnified Persons
(j) If this Section 5.4 or any portion of this Section 5.4 shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnified Person as to expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including a grand jury proceeding or action or suit brought by or in the right of the Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 5.4 that shall not have been invalidated.
(k) Each of the Indemnified Persons may, in the performance of his, her or its duties, consult with legal counsel and accountants, and any act or omission by such Person on behalf of the Company in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel or accountants will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided that such legal counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company.
(l) An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 5.4 because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
(m) Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section 5.4, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
(n) The directors and officers of the Manager shall, in the performance of his or her duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the officers or employees of the Company or the Manager or by any other Person as to matters the director or officer of the Manager reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence.
(o) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 5.4 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of or other rights of any Indemnified Person under this Section 5.4 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided such Person became an Indemnified Person hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.
