Indemnification Rights Each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including, without limitation, service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter, an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director or officer or in any other capacity while so serving, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the full extent permitted by the LLC Act and the Investment Company Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), or by other applicable law as then in effect, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and charges, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties under ERISA, penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 4.8(c) with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement, the Company shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.8(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as the Company is subject to the Investment Company Act, the Company shall not indemnify an Indemnitee to the extent such indemnification would violate the Investment Company Act.
Indemnification and Remedies 10.1. The Shareholders and the holders of Vested Options (“Indemnifying Parties”) agree severally and not jointly to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold the Purchaser, the Company and their Affiliates, together with the directors, employees and advisors of the foregoing (the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless against and in respect of any and all loss, liability, deficiency, damage, decrease in value (excluding reduction in Tax losses or loss of NOLs), any damages paid to third parties, cost, expense, fines, interest or actions in respect thereof (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) but excluding consequential (except that a claim by a third party shall not be deemed consequential), incidental, multiple of revenue or earnings (but not including loss of value), loss of profits, punitive or exemplary damages (all of the foregoing, “Damages”), as and when incurred, occasioned by: (i) any non-fulfillment, non-performance, violation or breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by the Company; or (ii) any inaccuracy, breach or falsity of any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 5 above or any certificate or other instrument furnished or to be furnished by the Company hereunder; (iii) any Claim by a third party (regardless of whether the claimant is ultimately successful) which, if true, would constitute any of the above; and (iv) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule, any Pre-Closing Taxes and (disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule) any breach or falsity contained in Sections 5.7, 6.8, 8.2.19, 8.11 or 8.12, any Tax liability of the Company in connection with any payment made or deemed made by the Company at or prior to the Closing in connection with the Transaction or any Tax liability in connection with any payment pursuant to this Agreement made without sufficient withholding under applicable law provided however, that the Shareholders shall not be jointly liable for a Claim in connection to Tax withholding against a breaching Shareholder for submission of incorrect or false information (in which case, such breaching Shareholder shall be severally liable as set forth in Section 10.2); (v) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), any Transaction Costs, (vi) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), any liability pursuant to indemnification undertakings granted by the Company to directors and/or officers thereof in connection with the period prior to the Closing Date; (vii) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), the matters set out in Schedule 10.1 attached hereto; (viii) disregarding any disclosure in a disclosure schedule), any Claim by a Shareholder, or former shareholder (or holder of Company Options, including indemnity for Damages of such holder in respect of the rate of taxes paid by such holder in excess of the 102 benefit (25% plus excess tax, if applicable) in cases where the ITA disqualifies the grant under a trustee capital gains route, or any other equity securities) of the Company, or any other Person, seeking to assert, or based upon: (a) ownership or rights to ownership of any shares or other equity securities of the Company; (b) any rights of a Shareholder or other equity holder (other than the rights of the Shareholders to receive the payments set out in this Agreement, as and to the extent set forth herein), including any option, preemptive rights or rights to notice or to vote; (c) any Claim that his, her or its shares or other equity securities of the Company were wrongfully repurchased, cancelled, terminated or transferred by the Company or any Person; or (d) any Claim regarding any errors or failures in the allocation or calculation of the applicable Purchase Price payable to such Person or its pro rata share of the Escrow Amount, as set forth in the Waterfall (items (iv) to (viii), together the “Special Indemnities”). 10.2. In addition, each Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to protect, defend, indemnify, and hold the Indemnified Parties, harmless against and in respect of any Damages, as and when incurred, occasioned by: (i) any non-fulfillment, non-performance, violation or breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by such Shareholder; or (ii) any inaccuracy, breach or falsity of any of the representations and warranties of such Shareholder contained in Section 6 above or any certificate or other instrument furnished or to be furnished by such Shareholder hereunder; and (iii) any Claim by a third party (regardless of whether the claimant is ultimately successful) which, if true, would constitute the above. 10.3. Promptly, but not later than thirty (30) days after (i) receipt by the Purchaser (or any of its directors, employees or advisors) of notice of the commencement of any Claim, proceeding, or investigation (“Third Party Claim”); or (ii) the Purchaser (or any of its directors, employees or advisors) becoming aware of any breach of this Agreement or falsity of representation or other event or circumstance, in each case, in respect of which indemnity may be sought as provided above, shall notify the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Party of the Claim, proceeding or investigation and, when known, the facts constituting the basis of such Claim, proceeding or investigation, in reasonable detail, provided that any failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period will not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any obligation or liability, except and only to the extent that the Shareholder Representative demonstrates that the Indemnifying Parties have been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period. In the event of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any Third Party Claim, the notice to the Shareholder Representative shall specify, if known, the amount of damages asserted by such third party. In the event of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser shall assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom (a “Third Party Defense”). Upon the Purchaser’s assumption of the Third Party Defense (i) the Purchaser shall inform the Shareholder Representative of such Third Party Defense (as set forth herein); (ii) the Shareholder Representative may retain separate counsel, at the expense of the Shareholders; (iii) the Purchaser will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) the Purchaser shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently in consultation with the Shareholder Representative and provide copies of all correspondence and related documentation in connection with the Third Party Defense to the Indemnifying Party; and (v) the Indemnifying Party will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense to protect the interests of the Indemnified Party. If the Purchaser elects not to assume the Third Party Defense it shall notify the Shareholder Representative of its decision not to assume such defense, and the Shareholder Representative shall have the right to assume the Third Party Defense with counsel of its choice at the expense of the applicable Indemnifying Parties; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in such Third Party Defense but the Shareholder Representative shall control the investigation and defense thereof in consultation with the Purchaser; provided, however, that any settlement or compromise by the Shareholder Representative shall be subject to the consent of the Purchaser not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Shareholder Representative shall conduct the Third Party Defense actively and diligently, and the Purchaser will provide reasonable cooperation in the Third Party Defense. The Parties will in any event co-operate with each other in dealing with any Claim other than in the event of a conflict of interest, and, other than in the event of a conflict of interest, will allow their respective representatives and advisers reasonable access to all books and records which might be useful for such purpose during normal business hours and at the place where they are normally kept, with full right to make copies thereof or take extracts therefrom. Such books and records shall be subject to a duty of confidentiality except for disclosure necessary for resolving such Claim or otherwise required by applicable law. The Indemnifying Party shall not be authorized to settle or compromise any Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. 10.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 10.3), following the Closing Date, the Purchaser will have the right, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, to conduct and control, through counsel of the Purchaser’s choosing, the defense of any Tax Contest; provided, however, that to the extent that any Tax Contest could reasonably give rise to an indemnification claim by the Purchaser under this Section 10, the Purchaser will (i) provide notice of such Tax Contest to the Shareholder Representative within thirty (30) days after receiving the first written notice of the commencement of such Tax Contest or from the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that any failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period will not relieve the Shareholders of any obligation or liability, except to the extent that the Shareholders have been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice to the Shareholder Representative within such period, (ii) provide to the Shareholder Representative all information reasonably requested by the Shareholder Representative regarding such Tax Contest, (iii) permit the Shareholder Representative to evaluate and comment on such Tax Contest, and (iv) reasonably and in good faith consider any such comments of the Shareholder Representative. The Purchaser may settle, adjust, or compromise any Tax Contest, in the Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, without the consent of the Shareholder Representative. However, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative – which consent (i) will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned and (ii) will be deemed to have been given unless the Shareholder Representative objects in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request for such consent from the Purchaser – no settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any Tax Contest will be determinative of the existence of a claim for indemnification under this Section 10 or the amount of indemnifiable amounts relating to such claim. In the event that the Shareholder Representative consents in writing to (or is deemed to have consented to) any settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any Tax Contest, neither the Shareholder Representative nor any Shareholder will have any power or authority to object under any provision of this Section 10 to the amount of any claim by the Purchaser for indemnification under this Section 10 with respect to such settlement, adjustment, or compromise. 10.5. Other than with respect to a specific Shareholder for such Shareholder’s Shareholder Fraud Event, the remedies provided in this Section 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser, or any of their Affiliates for any Claims or Damages resulting from the Transaction, except that each Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enjoin the breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Agreement and the specific performance by the other of its obligations hereunder. 10.6. The representation and warranties of the Company and the Shareholders (read together with the disclosure schedules) and the rights of the Purchaser (and its directors, employees and advisors) to indemnification under this Section 10 shall not be affected by any examination made for or on behalf of the Purchaser or the knowledge of any of the Purchaser’s officers, directors, employees or agents. It is understood and agreed that if the Company suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation (read together with the disclosure schedules) herein, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Purchaser as an Indemnified Party but without double counting and without providing for diminution in value) the Purchaser shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the shares of the Company, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.
ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND EXONERATION RIGHTS Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, except for Section 27, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against 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 and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. No indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights shall be available under this Section 7 on account of Indemnitee’s conduct which constitutes a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders or is an act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law.
Limitations on Indemnification Obligations The rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2(a) and Section 7.2(b) are subject to the following provisions: (a) None of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for any particular Loss pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) unless such Loss equals or exceeds $10,000 (and no such Loss less than $10,000 shall be applied against the Deductible). (b) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in the case of Fraud) until the total amount which the Indemnified Parties would recover under Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.2(b)(i), as applicable, in the aggregate (as limited by the other provisions hereof), but for this Section 7.4(b), exceeds $1,192,500 (the “Deductible”), in which case the applicable Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount, subject to the other limitations herein. (c) Except, in each case, in the case of Fraud, (i) the maximum liability of Seller to the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any Losses of the Purchaser Indemnitees indemnifiable pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $1,192,500 and (ii) the maximum liability of Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, for indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article VII shall not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price. (d) The amount of any and all Losses indemnifiable hereunder shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers, under insurance policies (excluding, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy) or from other collateral sources, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(d), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter. (e) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, to the extent available and subject to applicable retention and other coverage limitations thereunder, for any Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) prior to seeking indemnification from Seller under this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 7.4(e) shall limit the Purchaser Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) to the extent that recovery is not available under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy for any reason with respect to all or any portion of such Losses. The amount of any and all indemnifiable Losses for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(iv) or for any indemnifiable Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii) shall be determined net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy with respect to such Losses (which amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Parties shall be calculated, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery). In any case where a Purchaser Indemnitee actually recovers under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy any amount in respect of a matter for which such Indemnified Party was previously indemnified hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Responsible Party a refund equal to the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any Taxes incurred in connection with such recovery), if and solely to the extent that such amount of recovery would have reduced the amount to which the Indemnified Party would have been entitled pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(e), but not in excess of the aggregate amount previously paid to the Indemnified Parties hereunder in respect of such matter; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be required to repay to Seller any amounts recovered under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy to the extent such repayment would, after taking into account the deductible and other limitations under the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy, have the effect of reducing the amount of indemnifiable Losses actually recovered by Purchaser with respect to such claim below the amount of indemnified Losses to which Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to recover from Seller pursuant to this Article VII, but for this Section 7.4(e). Purchaser covenants and agrees that the Representation and Warranty Insurance Policy will expressly exclude any right of subrogation against the Seller Group (other than with respect to Fraud). (f) The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover for a Loss only once under Article VII even if a claim or claims for indemnification in respect of such Loss has been made as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. (g) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Loss to the extent such Loss was included in or otherwise expressly taken into account in the determination of the Aggregate Purchase Price. (h) The rights to indemnification of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party hereto (including by any of such party’s advisors or representatives) or by reason of the fact that such party or any of such advisors or representatives knew or should have known that any representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate. (i) For purposes of determining the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article III or the Seller set forth in Article IV and in calculating the amount of any Losses attributable thereto, any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” or similar qualifications in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) the use of the term “Material Contract” in any representation or warranty or (ii) any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.6(a). (j) The Purchaser Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover under this Article VII for any breach of any representations and warranties regarding Losses for Taxes with respect to taxable periods, or portions thereof, that end on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent such Losses arise from or are attributable to a breach of the representations or warranties contained in Sections 3.15(e), 3.15(k) or 3.15(l).
Indemnification; Remedies The Company shall indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate of the Purchaser, and each of the following parties participating in a Securitization Transaction: each Sponsor; each issuing entity; each Person (including, but not limited to, any Master Servicer if applicable) responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction; each broker dealer acting as underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser, each Person who controls any of such parties or the Depositor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act); and the respective present and former directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates of each of the foregoing and of the Depositor (each, an “Indemnified Party”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon: (a) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material provided in written or electronic format under this Article II by or on behalf of the Company, or provided under this Article II by or on behalf of any Third-Party Originator (collectively, the “Company Information”), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Information a material fact required to be stated in the Company Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Company Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Company Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other information; (b) any breach by the Company of its obligations under this Article II, including particularly any failure by the Company or any Third-Party Originator to deliver any information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material when and as required under this Article II; (c) any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.02(a) or in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2.02(b) and made as of a date prior to the closing date of the related Securitization Transaction, to the extent that such breach is not cured by such closing date, or any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty in a writing furnished pursuant to Section 2.02(b) to the extent made as of a date subsequent to such closing date, or (d) the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Company in connection with its performance under this Article II. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then the Company agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Company on the other. In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section, the Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser, any Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect to such Securitization Transaction, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to obtain the information, report, certification, accountants’ letter or other material not delivered as required by the Company or any Third-Party Originator. (e) This indemnification shall survive the termination of the Agreement or the termination of any party to the Agreement.
Survival of Warranties and Indemnifications All warranties and indemnifications will survive the termination of this Agreement.
Indemnification by Licensor Licensor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, successors and assigns, (collectively, the “Licensee Parties”) from and against any claim, suit, demand or action (“Action”), and any and all direct losses suffered or incurred by Licensee in connection with any third party claims (a) arising out of or resulting from any breach by Licensor of any provision of this Agreement or (b) that use of the Licensed Marks by Licensee in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement infringes or otherwise violates a third party’s Trademarks. Licensor’s obligation to indemnify Licensee shall be conditioned on (a) Licensee’s provision to Licensor of prompt notice of such an Action (except where any delay does not materially prejudice Licensor); (b) Licensee’s reasonable cooperation with Licensor in the defense and settlement of such an Action at Licensor’s cost; and (c) Licensor having exclusive control of the defense, settlement and/or compromise of such an Action (provided that Licensor may not settle any Action in a manner that adversely affects Licensee without Licensee’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Indemnification and Exculpation of Indemnitees (a) The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership. (b) The Partnership shall reimburse an Indemnitee for reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 6.3 has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met. (c) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.3 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity. (d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. (e) For purposes of this Section 6.3, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 6.3; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. (f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. (g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.3 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement. (h) The provisions of this Section 6.3 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may not indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee for any liability or loss unless all of the following conditions are met: (i) the Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Partnership; (ii) the Indemnitee was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Partnership; (iii) the liability or loss was not the result of (A) negligence or misconduct, in the case that the Indemnitee is a director of the General Partner (other than an Independent Director), the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor or (B) gross negligence or willful misconduct, in the case that the Indemnitee is an Independent Director; and (iv) the indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of net assets of the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership shall not provide indemnification for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the Indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the Indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the Indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which Securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.
Limitations on Indemnification (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2, Seller shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any of Buyer Indemnified Parties on account of any Buyer Indemnified Losses under Section 7.2 unless the liability of Seller in respect of such Buyer Indemnified Loss, when aggregated with the liability of Seller in respect of all Buyer Indemnified Losses under Section 7.2, exceeds $250,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnified Losses. In no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller under Section 7.2 of this Agreement exceed $2,000,000 (the “Ceiling Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Ceiling Amount shall be applicable to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(iii) or Section 7.2(iv) or with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in the first and second sentences of Section 3.2, Section 3.2(e), Section 3.8 and Section 3.10. Seller may satisfy any obligations arising pursuant to this Article 7 in any combination of cash or the surrender of Consideration Units for redemption (valued at $21.00 per Consideration Unit); provided that, Seller must provide written notice to Buyer of the intent to make a payment (in whole or in part) by surrendering Consideration Units for redemption at least five business days prior to the due date of any such payment. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any of the Seller Indemnified Parties on account of any Seller Indemnified Loss under Section 7.3 unless the liability of Buyer in respect of such Seller Indemnified Loss, when aggregated with the liability of Buyer in respect of all Seller Indemnified Losses under Section 7.3, exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from Buyer in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnified Losses exceed the Threshold Amount. In no event shall Buyer be liable under Section 7.3 of this Agreement for any amount in excess of the Ceiling Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Ceiling Amount shall be applicable to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(iii) or Section 7.3(iv) or with respect the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in Section 4.6. (c) The amount of indemnity claim hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any tax benefit actually realized by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of such claim. (d) The amount of any indemnity claim hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any proceeds of insurance actually received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, in connection with such claim; provided, however, the foregoing shall not bar any insurance company that has made any payment to a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party from pursuing its lawful rights to subrogation.
