This indemnification will be in addition to any liability which the Fund may otherwise have; provided, however, that no party shall be entitled to indemnification if such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duty by the party seeking indemnification.
Indemnification by the Distributor (a) The Distributor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” for purposes of this Section 7.4) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Sponsor) or litigation (including legal and other expenses) to which the Indemnified Parties may become subject under any statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) or settlements are related to the sale or acquisition of the Fund’s shares or the Variable Insurance Products and: (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus or sales literature of the Fund (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this agreement to indemnify shall not apply as to any Indemnified Party if such statement or omission or such alleged statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Distributor or the Fund by or on behalf of the Company for use in the registration statement or prospectus for the Fund or in sales literature (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or otherwise for use in connection with the sale of the Variable Insurance Products or Fund shares; or (ii) arise out of or as a result of statements or representations (other than statements or representations contained in the registration statement, prospectus or sales literature for the Variable Insurance Products not supplied by the Distributor or persons under its control) or unlawful conduct of the Fund, the Advisers or persons under their control, with respect to the sale or distribution of the Variable Insurance Products or Fund shares; or (iii) arise out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, prospectus or sales literature covering the Variable Insurance Products (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement or statements therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Fund; or (iv) result from any failure by the Distributor or the Fund to provide the services and furnish the materials under the terms of this Agreement; or (v) arise out of or result from any material breach of any representation and/or warranty made by the Distributor or the Fund in this Agreement or arise out of or result from any other material breach of this Agreement by the Distributor of the Fund; as limited by and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.4(b) and 7.4(c) hereof. (b) The Distributor shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation to which an Indemnified Party would otherwise be subject by reason of such Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of such Indemnified Party’s duties or by reason of such Indemnified Party’s reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement or to the Company or the Accounts, whichever is applicable. (c) The Distributor shall not be liable under this indemnification provision with respect to any claim made against an Indemnified Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have notified the Distributor in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon such Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of any such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the Distributor of any such claim shall not relieve the Distributor from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of this indemnification provision. In any case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the Distributor will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof. The Sponsor also shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the party named in the action. After notice from the Distributor to such party of the Distributor’s election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by it, and the Distributor will not be liable to such party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by each party independently in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. (d) The Company agrees promptly to notify the Distributor of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or directors in connection with the issuance or sale of the Variable Insurance Products or the operation of each account.
Indemnification by Seller (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1(b), 7.4 and 7.5 below, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates, and each of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and representatives (each a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Purchaser Indemnitee harmless from, any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, payments and obligations, and all expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal fees (collectively “Losses”), incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid, directly or indirectly, by, or sought to be imposed upon, such Purchaser Indemnitee resulting from, related to or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement or the agreements or documents delivered by Seller pursuant to Sections 5.1(b)(i), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), and (ix); provided, however, that (ix) shall be limited to documents that are necessary to convey to Purchaser title to the Purchased Assets; (ii) any breach of any of the covenants made by Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement (including Section 5.1(b)(ii)) or the agreements or documents delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(iii), (iv), (v), (viii) and (ix); provided, however, that (ix) shall be limited to documents that are necessary to convey to Purchaser title to the Purchased Assets; (iii) the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities, including with respect to Taxes and bulk sales laws; and (iv) the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date. The lack of indemnity under this Section 7.1(a) for breaches shall not limit the remedies that may be available to Purchaser under the Noncompetition Agreement. (b) Each Purchaser Indemnitee shall promptly give written notice to Seller of the assertion by any Person of any claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which Seller is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the rights of a Purchaser Indemnitee to be indemnified hereunder shall only be affected by the failure to give such notice if and to the extent such failure prejudices Seller in the defense of such third party claim. Amounts due with respect to Losses covered by this Section 7.1 shall be paid promptly after delivery of reasonably documented written notice of the amount of Losses incurred, and if Seller disputes the validity of the notice or the amounts of the Losses and such dispute is ultimately resolved wholly or partially in favor of the Purchaser Indemnitee, Seller shall promptly pay the amount found owing. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contest, defend or litigate, and to retain counsel of its choice in connection with, any claim, action, suit or proceeding by any third party alleged or asserted against a Purchaser Indemnitee that is subject to indemnification by Seller hereunder, and the cost and expense thereof shall be subject to the indemnification obligations and limitations of Seller hereunder; provided, that each Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right and option to participate in, but not control, the defense of such action at its own expense and with its own counsel; and provided, further, that, (i) if Seller elects not to defend any such action or (ii) if a Purchaser Indemnitee shall reasonably believe that it has defenses not available to Seller and if counsel to Purchaser shall advise in a written opinion that common representation is not appropriate, then such Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled, through counsel of its choice, but at Seller’s expense (should indemnification be applicable), to participate in the defense of such action. Neither Seller, on the one hand, nor any Purchaser Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be entitled to settle or compromise any such claim, action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Indemnification by the Investor In consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Investor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Investor shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and each person who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Investor will only be liable for written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, and will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Investor by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement or any instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor; or (c) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Investor contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by the Investor. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Investor may be unenforceable under Applicable Laws, the Investor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under Applicable Laws.
Indemnification by Sellers From and after the Closing Date, except with respect to Taxes and Tax matters (indemnification claims in respect of which may be brought solely under Article IX), and subject to the provisions of this Article VIII (including the limitations set forth in Section 8.5), each Seller, severally (in proportion to its Seller Proportion, except to the extent subject to the proviso to this Section 8.2) but not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless (a) the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from: (i) any breach of a Fundamental Representation by the Company; (ii) any breach of any other representation or warranty by the Company contained in Article IV; (iii) any breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to be performed by the Company prior to Closing; or (iv) the matters set forth in Section 8.2(a)(iv) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule.

Indemnification by the Purchaser Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure on the part of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.2 or 7.2 of this Agreement respecting the sale of the Shares or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be liable for any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of which the Purchaser has delivered to the Company in writing a correction before the occurrence of the transaction from which such loss was incurred, and the Purchaser will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action.
Cooperation by the Indemnified Party The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in defending against a Third-Party Claim. In connection with any fact, matter, event or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall ensure that each relevant member of the Indemnified Party’s Group: (i) shall preserve all material evidence relevant to the claim to the extent within the control of the Indemnified Party’s Group, (ii) shall allow the Indemnifying Party to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim, and (iii) shall (at the Indemnified Party’s expense) disclose to the Indemnifying Party all material of which it is aware which relates to the claim and provide, and procure that any other relevant members of the Indemnified Party’s Group shall provide (at the Indemnified Party’s expense), all such information and assistance, including reasonable access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, subject to the Indemnifying Party agreeing in such form as the Indemnified Party may reasonably require to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Indemnified Party to disclose any documents or information that may be reasonably expected to result in a violation of applicable Law or the loss or waiver of any attorney-client, work product or similar legal privilege; provided further that the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall work in good faith to put in place appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements to permit such disclosure without such violation, loss or waiver.
