• Insurance and Indemnity Hirers must report any damage to premises, contents (including crockery etc), staff and agents to the Booking Clerk as soon as possible. (a) The Hirer shall be liable for: the cost of repair of any damage (including accidental and malicious damage) done to any part of the premises including the curtilage thereof or the contents of the premises all claims, losses, damages and costs made against or incurred by MVH, their employees, volunteers, agents or invitees in respect of damage or loss of property or injury to persons arising as a result of the use of the premises (including the storage of equipment) by the Hirer, and all claims, losses, damages and costs made against or incurred by MVH, their employees, volunteers, agents or invitees as a result of any nuisance caused to a third party as a result of the use of the premises by the Hirer, and subject to sub-clause (b), the Hirer shall indemnify and keep indemnified accordingly each member of MVH and MVH’s employees, volunteers, agents and invitees against such liabilities.

The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if, at or prior to the Effective Time, the Company or Parent (on behalf of the Surviving Corporation) shall purchase six (6) year prepaid “tail” policies on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms no less favorable than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Effective Time, except that the Company may not commit or spend on such “tail” policies annual premiums in excess of 300% of the annual premiums paid by the Company in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof for the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “Base Amount”), and if such premiums for such “tail” policies would exceed 300% of the Base Amount, then the Company shall purchase policies that provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 300% of the Base Amount.

• 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.

From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guaranty and stand surety for, and shall cause the GP Surviving Entity, Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries to honor and perform, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.10 without limit as to time.

In the event of any such Action, the Surviving Entities shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action. (c) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the coverage provided by the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date hereof by the General Partner, Partnership and their respective Subsidiaries with respect to matters existing or arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Partnership prior to the date hereof (the “Maximum Amount”) in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto and if the cost of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto exceeds the Maximum Amount, Parent shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably available for the Maximum Amount. If the Partnership in its sole discretion elects, then the Partnership may, prior to the Effective Time, purchase (and prepay in full the aggregate premium for) a “tail policy,” that by its terms survives the Effective Time and the transactions contemplated hereby, with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time that were committed or alleged to have been committed by such Indemnified Parties in their capacity as such or relating to their status, service or duties as Indemnified Parties (with such policy having at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the covered individuals as existing policies); provided that in no event shall the Partnership be permitted to pay as the cost of such policy in excess of six times the Maximum Amount and, if such a “tail policy” is purchased, Parent shall have no further obligations under this Section 5.10(c) other than that the Surviving Entity shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(f) In the event Parent, the Surviving Entities 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 in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Entities, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations of such party set forth in this Section 5.10. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the General Partner, Partnership or any of their respective Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.10 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies. (g) Following the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Entities under this Section 5.10 shall not be terminated, amended or modified in any manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party (including their successors, heirs and legal representatives) to whom this Section 5.10 applies without the consent of such Indemnified Party. It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, (i) following the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.10 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.10, and (ii) this Section 5.10 shall survive consummation of the Mergers and shall, following the Effective Time, be enforceable by such Indemnified Parties and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives against Parent and the Surviving Entity and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) An Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing promptly upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or other matter in respect of which such indemnification may be sought, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 4.7 except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of, including the investigation of, and corrective action required to be undertaken in response to, any litigation, claim or proceeding (each, a "Claim") relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 4.7 with counsel selected by the Company, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee (and, if the Company shall have assumed such defense, it shall not be liable for the fees or expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnitee); provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such Claim at his or her own expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be liable for any settlement or compromise effected without its written consent. (c) In the event any Claim is asserted or made, any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnitee's conduct complies with the standards set forth under applicable Law, the applicable Company Charter Documents and Subsidiary Documents as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided that nothing in this Section 4.7 shall impair any rights of any current or former director or officer of the Company or such subsidiaries, including pursuant to the respective Company Charter Documents and the Subsidiary Documents of such subsidiaries, under applicable Law or otherwise.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 4.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 4.7 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 4.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4.7). The provisions of this Section 4.7 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. (f) In the event that the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) 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 the Company shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 4.7.
