PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION--OTHER CLAIMS A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
Procedure for Indemnification (a) Except as may be set forth in a Related Agreement, if an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including, without limitation, any governmental entity) who is not a party to this Agreement or to any of the Related Agreements of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (a "Third-Party Claim") with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof promptly after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as required by this Section 5.04 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated if necessary) of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be sustained by such Indemnitee.
(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend or to seek to settle or compromise, at such Indemnifying Party's own expense and by such Indemnifying Party's own counsel, any Third-Party Claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party must confirm in writing that it agrees that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of such Third-Party Claim. Within 30 days of the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 5.04(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether to assume responsibility for such Third-Party Claim (provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not so notify the Indemnitee of its election within 30 days after receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected not to assume responsibility for such Third-Party Claim), and such Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense or settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Claim. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume responsibility for a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Article V for any legal or other expenses (except expenses approved in advance by the Indemnifying Party) subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided that if the defendants in any such claim include both the Indemnifying Party and one or more Indemnitees and in such Indemnitees' reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such Indemnitees and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for a Third-Party Claim (which election may be made only in the event of a good faith dispute that a claim was inappropriately tendered under Section 5.01 or 5.02, as the case may be) such Indemnitee may defend or (subject to the following sentence) seek to compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee may not settle or compromise any claim without prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party, which shall have the option within ten days following the receipt of such notice (i) to disapprove the settlement and assume all past and future responsibility for the claim, including reimbursing the Indemnitee for prior expenditures in connection with the claim, or (ii) to disapprove the settlement and continue to refrain from participation in the defense of the claim, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall have no further right to contest the amount or reasonableness of the settlement if the Indemnitee elects to proceed therewith, or (iii) to approve the amount of the settlement, reserving the Indemnifying Party's right to contest the Indemnitee's right to indemnity, or (iv) to approve and agree to pay the settlement. In the event the Indemnifying Party makes no response to such written notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected option (ii).
(c) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to such Indemnifying Party any personnel and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.
(d) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 5.04 to the contrary, an Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim unless such settlement or compromise contemplates as an unconditional term thereof the giving by such claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a written release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim (and provided further that such settlement may not provide for any non-monetary relief by Indemnitee without the written consent of Indemnitee). In the event the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing that such Indemnitee declines to accept any such settlement or compromise, such Indemnitee may continue to contest such Third-Party Claim, free of any participation by such Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnitee's sole expense. In such event, the obligation of such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnitee with respect to such Third-Party Claim shall be equal to (i) the costs and expenses of such Indemnitee prior to the date such Indemnifying Party notifies such Indemnitee of the offer to settle or compromise (to the extent such costs and expenses are otherwise indemnifiable hereunder) plus (ii) the lesser of (A) the amount of any offer of settlement or compromise which such Indemnitee declined to accept and (B) the actual out-of-pocket amount such Indemnitee is obligated to pay subsequent to such date as a result of such Indemnitee's continuing to pursue such Third-Party Claim.
(e) Any claim on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 15 days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 15-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 15-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party under applicable law or under this Agreement.
(f) In addition to any adjustments required pursuant to Section 5.03, if the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss shall, at any time subsequent to the payment required by this Agreement, be reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise, the amount of such reduction, less any expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party.
(g) In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.
(h) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 5.04 to the contrary, with respect to any Action pending at the time of the Distribution (a "Pending Action") with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, LTC or Healthcare shall, at the request of any other party, cause the employee(s) who were handling the defense, compromise or settlement of such Pending Action prior to the Distribution to continue to handle such defense, compromise or settlement following the Distribution (subject to the last two sentences of subsection (b) above). If such employees are employed by the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of, and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in, such defense, compromise or settlement.
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.
Procedures for Indemnification (i) If any DSKX Indemnified Person or PHMD Indemnified Person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) shall claim indemnification hereunder for any matter (other than a Third Party Claim) for which indemnification is provided in Article VI, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of facts which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that will serve the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as applicable, setting forth the basis for such claim and the nature and estimated amount of the claim to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of the claim), all in reasonable detail; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. If PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as applicable, disputes any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim, it may, at any time deliver to the Indemnified Person that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim, and the Parties shall attempt in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice to agree upon the rights of the Parties with respect to such Notice of Claim. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, the Parties shall have the rights and remedies, if any, available to them under this Agreement or applicable Legal Requirements.
(ii) If an Indemnified Person shall claim indemnification hereunder arising from any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is provided in Section 6.2, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of such Third Party Claim, give written notice (a “Third Party Notice”) to PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Person”), of the basis for such claim, setting forth the nature of the claim or demand in reasonable detail to the extent known by the Indemnified Person; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Person, upon notice to the Indemnified Person, may at any time within thirty (30) days after receiving a Third Party Notice, at its own cost and through counsel of its choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, defend any claim or demand set forth in a Third Party Notice. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to compromise and settle all indemnifiable matters related to Third Party Claims which are susceptible to being settled and as to which it shall have properly assumed the defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any final judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff of a written release or releases from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim of all Indemnified Persons named in such Third Party Claim and the sole relief for which are monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that a particular Third Party Claim is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.3(ii) and Section 6.3(iii) and the aggregate amount of such Third Party Claim exceeds the Indemnifying Person’s applicable maximum aggregate liability, the Indemnifying Person shall not reject any settlement or compromise offer without the prior consent of the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Person shall from time to time and otherwise at the Indemnified Person’s request apprise the Indemnified Person of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting Proceeding and shall furnish the Indemnified Person with such documents and information filed or delivered in connection with such claim, liability or expense or otherwise thereto as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request, and shall diligently defend the applicable Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability to any third Party in connection with any matter which is the subject of a Notice of Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have properly assumed the defense and shall cooperate fully in the manner requested by the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, the Indemnified Person shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Person, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, or if the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, which, in either case, would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person, then the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken together). Until such time as the Indemnifying Person has timely delivered a notice of intent to defend a Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person) such claim, liability or expense, and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense exercising reasonable business judgment; provided, that, such compromise or settlement shall not be effected within the first thirty (30) days after Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such Third Party Notice without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Indemnification of the QIU Without limitation and in addition to its obligation under the other subsections of this Section 5, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Odeon, in its capacity as the QIU, its directors, officers, agents, partners, members and employees and each Controlling Person from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense, as incurred, arising out of or based upon the QIU’s acting as a “qualified independent underwriter” (within the meaning of Rule 5121 of the Rules of FINRA) in connection with the Offering contemplated by this Agreement, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified person for any legal or other expense reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the QIU. Notwithstanding the indemnification set forth in this Section 5.1.5, Odeon will undertake liability under Section 11 of the Exchange Act for acting as a qualified independent underwriter in connection with this Offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5121(f)(12)(C).
Procedures for Indemnification and Expense Advances (a) NOTICE/COOPERATION BY INDEMNITEE. Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable of any claim or action made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement; provided that failure to so notify shall not affect Company's obligations hereunder unless the failure to so notify materially prejudices the Company's rights or defenses in connection with the underlying claim or action. In addition, Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Company and provide it with the information it reasonably requires to assert its rights or defenses to the underlying claim or action.
