WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT In consideration of the Releasees accepting my application for a Season Pass and permitting my use of the lifts, ski runs, trails, terrain parks, race courses, restaurants, day lodge, parking, access roads and other ski area facilities (hereinafter “the premises”), I hereby agree as follows:
Insurance Indemnity (a) Purchaser will cause the Surviving Corporation to purchase a six year pre-paid noncancellable directors and officers insurance policy covering the current and all former directors, officers and similar persons of the Company and its Subsidiaries, with respect to acts or failures to act prior to the Effective Time, in a single aggregate amount over the six-year period immediately following the Closing Date equal to the policy limit for the Company's current directors and officers insurance policy as of the date hereof (the "Current Policy"). If such insurance is obtainable at an annual cost per -------------- covered year not in excess of 200% of the annual premium paid by the Company for the Current Policy (the "Cap"), then Purchaser will cause the Surviving --- Corporation to purchase policies providing (or Purchaser will modify its existing policies to provide for) at least the same coverage as the Current Policy and containing terms and conditions no less advantageous to the current and former directors, officers and similar persons of the Company and its Subsidiaries than the Current Policy with respect to acts or failures to act prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that Purchaser and the Surviving -------- ------- Corporation shall not be required to obtain policies providing such coverage except to the extent that such coverage can be provided at an annual cost of no greater than the Cap; and, if equivalent coverage cannot be obtained, or can be obtained only by paying an annual premium in excess of the Cap, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to obtain as much coverage as can be obtained by paying an annual premium equal to the Cap.
(b) Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to keep in effect in its bylaws provisions for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time (or, in the case of matters occurring prior to the Effective Time that have not been resolved prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, until such matters are finally resolved) that provide for exculpation of director and officer liability and indemnification (and advancement of expenses related thereto) of the past and present officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, which provisions shall not be amended except as required by applicable law or except to make changes permitted by law that would enhance the rights of past or present officers and directors to indemnification or advancement of expenses.
(c) Subject to Section 8.6(f), from and after the Effective Time, Purchaser -------------- shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each person who is, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, an officer, director or similar person of the Company or any Subsidiary, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, "Losses") in ------ connection with any claims, actions, suits, proceedings, arbitrations, investigations or audits (collectively, "Litigation") arising before or after ---------- the Effective Time out of or pertaining to acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, by them in their capacities as such, which acts or omissions occurred prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser shall periodically advance expenses as incurred with respect to the foregoing to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law provided that the person to whom the expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
(d) If, after the Effective Time, Purchaser 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 or assets to any person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that successors and assigns of Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume such entity's obligations set forth in this Section 8.6. The provisions of this Section 8.6 ----------- ----------- are intended for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by each person who is now or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, an officer, director or similar person of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(e) If any Litigation described in Section 8.6(c) (each, an "Action") -------------- ------ arises or occurs, the Surviving Corporation shall control the defense of such Action with counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the party seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 8.6(c) (each, an "Indemnified Party"), provided that the Indemnified -------------- ----------------- Party shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Action through counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnified Party's expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any actual or potential conflict between the Surviving Corporation and any Indemnified Party or there are additional defenses available to any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Action with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, at the Surviving Corporation's expense; provided, however, -------- ------- that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for any Indemnified Party in any single Action. The Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.
(f) Purchaser shall have no obligations under Section 8.6(c), unless and -------------- until the Surviving Corporation transfers outside of the ordinary course of business a material portion of its assets, in a single transaction or in a series of transactions, and such transfer materially and adversely affects the legal or financial ability of the Surviving Corporation to satisfy its indemnification obligations under this Section 8.6. -----------
