Any claims for indemnification pursuant to such agreements and organizational documents as to which the Surviving Corporation has received written notice before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time will survive, whether or not those claims will have been finally adjudicated or settled, and no action taken during such period may be deemed to diminish the obligations set forth in this Section 4.9. (b) The Surviving Corporation will maintain in effect for 6 years from the Effective Time the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies applicable to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (except the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not less favorable) providing coverage with respect to matters occurring before the Effective Time and such policies or endorsements must name as insureds thereunder all present and former directors, officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, except that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend under this Section 4.9(b) more than an amount per year equal to three hundred percent (300%) of current annual premiums paid by the Company for that insurance. If, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Surviving Corporation would be required to expend more than three hundred percent (300%) of current annual premiums, the Surviving Entity will obtain the maximum amount of that insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to three hundred percent (300%) of current annual premiums. To the extent that a “tail” policy is available that complies with the foregoing requirements of this Section 4.9(b) with respect to the coverage, terms, and conditions applicable to all present and former directors, officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, the Surviving Corporation may satisfy its obligation under this Section 4.9(b) by obtaining such policy. (c) If the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of that consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.9.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Paragraph 9 to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall protect or be deemed to protect the Indemnified Parties against or entitle or be deemed to entitle the Indemnified Parties to indemnification in respect of, any liability to the Corporation or its security holders to which the Indemnified Parties would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Adviser’s duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Adviser’s duties and obligations under this Agreement (as the same shall be determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act and any interpretations or guidance by the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff thereunder).

Seller shall not terminate or agree to terminate any Existing Policy, or fail to renew or pay any premiums due under any Existing Policy unless, in either case, Seller obtains a replacement policy from an insurance carrier with the same or a better credit rating than the insurance carrier under such Existing Policy with benefits and levels of coverage substantially as favorable as such Existing Policy.

(b) In the event Seller (or any of its 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 or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Seller shall purchase a run-off insurance policy to provide similar coverage provided by the insurance policies provided for in Section 6.1(a), which shall cover any remaining portion of the six (6) year period following the Closing Date.
Director and Officer Indemnification (a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation agree that, subject to applicable Law, all rights to indemnification of each former and present director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a “Company Indemnified Party”) with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any agreement, a true and complete copy of which agreement has been provided by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement, to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party which is in effect as of the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) honor all the terms thereof. For a period of no less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, shall cause to be maintained in effect the provisions in the certificates of incorporation and bylaws and comparable organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and each Subsidiary of the Company (or in such documents of any successor thereto) regarding indemnification, exculpation and expense advancement in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and, during such six (6) year period, shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individual who immediately before the Effective Time was a Company Indemnified Party, except as required by applicable Law. (b) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, and each of the Surviving Corporation hereby agrees, to either (i) continue to maintain in effect for a period of no less than six (6) years after the Effective Time the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies (the “D&O Insurance”) in place as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) purchase comparable D&O Insurance (from a carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s D&O Insurance carrier) for such six (6)-year period, in each case, with coverage for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the insured individuals as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence an annual premium amount in excess of 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year, which amount is set forth in Section 7.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Premium Cap”); provided further, that if the amount necessary to procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Premium Cap, the Company may purchase the most advantageous policy available for an amount not to exceed the Premium Cap. At the Company’s option, the Company may purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a prepaid “tail policy” for a period of no more than six (6) years after the Effective Time with coverage for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the insured individuals as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, in which event Parent shall cease to have any obligations under the first sentence of this Section 7.4(b); provided, that the aggregate premium for such policies shall not exceed the Premium Cap; provided further, that if the amount of annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Premium Cap, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall procure and maintain for such six-year period the most advantageous policy available for an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In the event the Company elects to purchase such a “tail policy,” the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail policy” in full force and effect for a period of no less than six (6) years after the Effective Time and continue to honor its obligations thereunder. (c) In the event that either Parent, the Surviving Corporation 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, rights and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, to succeed to or assume the applicable obligations of such Party set forth in this Section 7.4. (d) The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall survive consummation of the Merger, are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the Company Indemnified Parties and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by Contract, at Law or otherwise.
