Obligation to Indemnify (a) Subject to the expiration of the representations and warranties of the parties as provided in Article IX and the limitations set forth in this Article X, VFL agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs or expenses, penalties and reasonable outside attorneys' fees and disbursements (collectively, "Losses," and individually a "Loss"), asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by them, directly or indirectly, by reason of or arising out of or in connection with any misrepresentation, breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement of VFL in this Agreement or any Extra Contractual Obligations arising from acts, errors or omissions by VFL or any of its officers, employees, agents or representatives (other than Purchaser and administrators, contractors or other representatives or agents selected by Purchaser); provided, however, that Purchaser (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns) shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.01(a) in respect of representations and warranties in this Agreement only when the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) (the "Basket Amount"), in which case Purchaser (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns) shall be entitled to indemnification for Losses only in excess of the Basket Amount; provided further, that the Purchaser's entitlement to indemnification for claims arising under the fourth sentence of Section 3.11(c), Section 3.16, Section 3.24, Section 10.06 and Section 10.07 shall not be subject to the Basket Amount. VFL shall have no liability under this Section 10.01 if, with respect to any misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform, following the date of this Agreement and at or prior to Closing: (i) VFL provides Purchaser with written notice (which may be in the form of an exhibit to the certificate contemplated by Section 6.01) of such misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform; (ii) such notice expressly acknowledges that such misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform has caused the condition specified in the first sentence of Section 6.01 not to be satisfied and that, as a result, Purchaser has the right not to proceed to Closing; (iii) such misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform has, in fact, caused the condition specified in the first sentence of Section 6.01 not to be satisfied, and as a result, Purchaser has the right not to proceed to Closing; and (iv) Purchaser elects to waive the condition specified in the first sentence of Section 6.01 and proceed to Closing. The maximum amount for which VFL shall be liable under this Article X, other than indemnification for claims arising under the fourth sentence of Section 3.11(c), Section 3.16, Section 3.24, Section 10.06 and Section 10.07 which shall not be subject to such limitation, shall not exceed in the aggregate 100% of the Purchase Price ("Maximum Indemnification Obligation"). Required payments by any indemnifying party pursuant to this Article X shall be limited to the amount of any Loss that remains after deducting therefrom any benefit associated with the breach or occurrence constituting or giving rise to the Loss, including but not limited to: (i) any tax benefit to any indemnified party, (ii) any insurance or reinsurance proceeds recoverable by any indemnified party, and (iii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recoverable by any indemnified party from any third party, in each case with respect to such Loss. The indemnified party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all such insurance proceeds and indemnity, contribution and other similar payments. With respect to any breach of the representations set forth in Sections 3.09 and 3.11, "Losses" to be indemnified by VFL hereunder shall not include any losses deemed to be incurred by Purchaser as a result of any inability to market the Insurance Contracts in any jurisdiction. Further, in no event shall there be included in the calculation of any indemnified Loss any amount in respect of potential revenues, fees or other benefits incident to or potentially arising from any insurance or annuity policies or contracts other than the Insurance Contracts. With respect to any breach of the representations set forth in Section 3.24, Losses to be indemnified by VFL hereunder shall be calculated, as of July 1 of each year from 2003 to 2012, as the difference between the amount of fees and other revenue that would have been payable to Purchaser during the immediately preceding twelve month period under the Participation, Distribution and Service Related Agreements had the representations made by VFL pursuant to Section 3.24 been accurate and the amount of fees and other revenue actually payable to Purchaser under said agreements during such twelve month period (for each such twelve month period such difference shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Annual Revenue Share Losses") and the Annual Revenue Share Losses for each such twelve month period shall be paid by VFL to Purchaser not later than 30 days following such calculation; provided, however, that in no event will VFL be responsible (by indemnification or otherwise) for the Annual Revenue Share Losses for any twelve month period under any particular Participation, Distribution and Service Related Agreement that (i) relate to any time period more than ten years after the Effective Date; (ii) are the result of changes (including any terminations) occurring in accordance with the terms of any particular Participation, Distribution and Service Related Agreement in effect as of the execution of this Agreement, as modified pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) of this sentence; (iii) are the result of changes (including any terminations) made by the Mutual Fund Payor in accordance with the terms of any such Participation, Distribution and Service Related Agreement; or (iv) are the result of changes (including any terminations) made by VFL or the Mutual Fund Payor and requested or approved by Purchaser; and provided, further, in the case of terminations effected under clauses (ii) or (iii) of this sentence, VFL shall be liable for Annual Revenue Share Losses that result from terminations that constitute a breach of the representation made in the last sentence of Section 3.24. Purchaser's right to indemnification for any breach of Section 3.16 as a result of the failure, prior to the Closing, (a) to comply with all tax withholding and information reporting requirements under the Code (and applicable regulations), or (b) of any Insurance Contract to comply with all requirements of the Code, as specified in Section 3.16, shall not be affected by Purchaser's knowledge of any such failure, whether as a result of Purchaser's due diligence process, any disclosure by VFL or otherwise. With regard to those agreements or arrangements regarding fees that are marked with an asterisk in Schedule 3.24, VFL agrees to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses arising from the termination of any such agreement or arrangement on less than 30 days' prior written notice, with such Losses being measured as revenues that are not payable for the 30 days (or applicable portion thereof) following the date of such written notice (if any).
(b) Subject to the expiration of the representations and warranties of the parties as provided in Article IX and the limitations set forth in this Article X, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless VFL and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns from and against all Losses, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by them, directly or indirectly, by reason of or arising out of or in connection with any misrepresentation, breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement of Purchaser in this Agreement or any Extra Contractual Obligations arising from acts, errors or omissions by Purchaser or any of its officers, employees, agents or representatives; provided, however, that VFL (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns) shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.01(b) in respect of representations and warranties in this Agreement only when the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Basket Amount, in which case VFL (and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and assigns) shall be entitled to indemnification for Losses only in excess of the Basket Amount. Purchaser shall have no liability under this Section 10.01 if, with respect to any misrepresentation , breach or failure to perform, following the date of this Agreement and at or prior to Closing, Purchaser provides VFL with written notice (which may be in the form of an exhibit to the certificate contemplated by Section 7.01) of such misrepresentation, breach or failure to perform. In any event, the maximum amount for which Purchaser shall be liable under this Article X shall not exceed in the aggregate the Maximum Indemnification Obligation. Required payments by any indemnifying party pursuant to this Article X shall be limited to the amount of any Loss that remains after deducting therefrom any benefit associated with the breach or occurrence constituting or giving rise to the Loss, including but not limited to: (i) any tax benefit to any indemnified party, (ii) any insurance or reinsurance proceeds recoverable by any indemnified party, and (iii) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recoverable by any indemnified party from any third party, in each case with respect to such Loss. The indemnified party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all such insurance proceeds and indemnity, contribution and other similar payments. Further, in no event shall there be included in the calculation of any indemnified Loss any amount in respect of potential revenues, fees or other benefits incident to or potentially arising from any insurance or annuity policies or contracts other than the Insurance Contracts.
(c) The same set of facts and circumstances may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article X as a claim arising from both a representation or warranty and from an Extra Contractual Obligation. The fact that such a claim for indemnification may be barred by the survival provisions of Article IX as arising from a representation or warranty, shall not bar VFL or Purchaser from bringing such a claim under this Article X as arising from an Extra Contractual Obligation.
Agreement to Indemnify (a) In the event Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Proceeding by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as soon as practicable but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after written demand is presented to the Company, against any and all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) of such Proceeding and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, including the creation of the Trust pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and except as provided in Section 5, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company unless the Company has joined in or consented to the initiation of such Proceeding. If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall advance, within ten (10) business days of such request, any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (an "Expense Advance"); provided, however, that such Expenses shall be advanced only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company; provided further, that the Company shall make such advances only to the extent permitted by law.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party shall not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the special, independent counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or have lapsed). Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse the Company for Expense Advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon, to the extent permitted by law. If there has not been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in Control, other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the special, independent counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the States of California or Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.
Indemnification of NCPS From and at all times after the date of this Escrow Agreement, Issuer shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend, indemnify and hold harmless NCPS and each director, officer, employee, attorney, agent and affiliate of NCPS (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any and all actions, claims (whether or not valid), losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties from and after the date hereof, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or in any way relating to any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) by any person, including without limitation Issuer and Broker whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any person under any statute or regulation, including, but not limited to, any federal or state securities laws, or under any common law or equitable cause or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance or failure of performance of this Escrow Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein, whether or not any such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action, proceeding, suit or the target of any such inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any liability finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to no further appeal, to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by the Issuer. The obligations of Issuer under this Section 9 shall survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of NCPS.
Right to Indemnification Each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise subject to or involved in any Action, by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was a Member (including the Managing Member), is or was serving as the Company Representative (including any “designated individual”) or the Continuing Member Representative or an officer, manager or director (or equivalent) or, at the discretion of the Managing Member, any employee or agent, of the Managing Member, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or is or was an officer, manager or director (or equivalent) or, at the discretion of the Managing Member, any employee or agent, of the Managing Member, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries serving at the request of the Managing Member or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an officer, manager or director (or equivalent) or, at the discretion of the Managing Member, any employee or agent, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other entity or which relates to or arises out of the property, business or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Action is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as an officer, manager, director, employee or agent, shall be indemnified by the Company against all expense, Liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith (“Indemnifiable Losses”); provided, however, that, such Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification if such Indemnitee’s conduct constituted fraud or a knowing violation of Law; provided, further, however, except as provided in Section 7.4(d) with respect to Actions to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify any such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.4 in connection with an Action (or part thereof but excluding any compulsory counterclaim) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Action (or part thereof but excluding any compulsory counterclaim) was authorized by the Board.
Conditions to Indemnification An indemnified party must give the other party(ies) prompt written notice of any claim and allow the indemnifying party to defend or settle the claim as a condition to indemnification. No settlement shall bind any party without such party’s written consent.
Indemnification of City The Permittee shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the City and its officers and employees, from and against all suits or claims that may be based upon any damage or injury or death, to any person or property that may occur, or that may be alleged to have occurred, in the course of the use of the Premises by the Permittee, and also whether such claims be made by an owner, officer, principal, employee, or a contractor or its employees, of the Permittee, or by any third party, also including Event and Festival licensees and vendors, their owners, principals, employees, and their contractors and contractor’s employees, and by members of the public, and whether or not it shall be claimed that the damage or injury or death was caused through the negligent act or omission in whole or in part of the City and/or its officers and/or employees. The Permittee shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the City and its officers and employees, from and against all suits or claims that may be based upon any liability of the City, including such that may arise under U.S. Copyright Laws, to all music licensing agencies (including but not limited to SESAC, BMI and ASCAP) and any other third parties resulting from or accruing from Permittee’s unlicensed authorization, sponsoring or presenting recorded or live music on City property or in City buildings or facilities. The Permittee shall, at the Permittee’s own expense, pay all charges of attorneys, and all costs and other expenses arising therefrom or incurred in connection therewith, and if any judgment shall be rendered against the City and/or its officers and/or its employees in any such action, or actions, the Permittee, at the Permittee’s own expense, shall satisfy and discharge the same. The preceding shall not apply to require indemnification by Permittee for any liability, claims, suits, etc., arising from action by officers of the Bethlehem Police Department.
Right of Indemnitee to Indemnification Upon Application; Procedure Upon Application Any indemnification claim under this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 7 hereof, shall be made no later than 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of Indemnitee, accompanied by substantiating documentation, unless a determination is made within said 30-day period that Indemnitee has not met the relevant standards for indemnification set forth in Section 3 hereof by (a) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not or were not parties to such Proceeding, (b) a committee of the Board of Directors designated by majority vote of the Board of Directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (d) the stockholders. The right to indemnification or advances as provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. The burden of proving that indemnification is not appropriate shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standards of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Right to Indemnity Each Lender, in proportion to its applicable Pro Rata Share (determined as set forth below), severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Related Party thereof, to the extent that such Agent or such Related Party shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party (and without limiting any Credit Party’s obligations under the Credit Documents to do so), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including fees, expenses and other charges of counsel) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or any such Related Party in exercising the powers, rights and remedies, or performing the duties and functions, of such Agent under the Credit Documents or any other documents contemplated by or referred to therein or otherwise in relation to its capacity as an Agent; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify such Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, claim, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify such Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, claim, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. For purposes of this Section 9.6, “Pro Rata Share” shall be determined as of the time that the applicable indemnity payment is sought (or, in the event at such time all the Commitments shall have terminated and all the Loans shall have been repaid in full, as of the time most recently prior thereto when any Loans or Commitments remained outstanding).
Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advance of Expenses Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee, unless (a) the Proceeding is brought to enforce indemnification under this Agreement, and then only to the extent in accordance with and as authorized by Sections 8 and 11 of this Agreement, or (b) the Company's Bylaws, as amended, the Charter, a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors or an agreement approved by the Board of Directors to which the Company is a party expressly provide otherwise.
Unlawful Indemnification To indemnify the Indemnitee if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful. In this respect, the Company and the Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication.
