• Indemnification of Directors and Officers (a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation agrees to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, and subject to the limitations of the BCL, each present and past officer, director, employee, representative or agent (other than Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx), of the Company (or any subsidiary or division thereof), including, without limitation, each person controlling any of the foregoing persons (individually, an "Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or pertaining to acts or omissions, or alleged acts or omissions, by them in their capacities as such, whether commenced, asserted or claimed before or after the Effective Time. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (an "Action"), (i) the Surviving Corporation shall advance the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Party, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent, in advance of the final disposition of any such action; provided, however, that prior to advancement of fees and expenses, the Indemnified Party shall provide an undertaking in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Corporation, and (ii) the Surviving Corporation will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and provided, further, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any single Action except to the extent that, in the opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Parties, to do so would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between or among such parties. (b) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall not amend the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws providing for exculpation of director and officer liability and indemnification, except as required by applicable law. (c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation agrees to, maintain in effect for the Indemnified Parties for not less than three years the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and the Company's subsidiaries with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, that Parent may substitute therefor policies of substantially the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous, in any material respect, to the Indemnified Parties. (d) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation agrees to, pay all expenses, including attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Parties in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.9. (e) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights such Indemnified Party has under the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, under the BCL or otherwise. This Section 6.9 is intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Newco, the Company and the Surviving Corporation. 6.10

• CONFIDENTIALITY AND FREEDOM OF INFORMATION In this Agreement, Confidential Information means all information of a confidential nature relating to one party which is supplied by or on behalf of that party (whether before or after the date of this Agreement), either in writing, orally or in any other form, directly or indirectly from or pursuant to discussions with that party (the Disclosing Party) or which is obtained through observations made by the receiving party (a Receiving Party). Confidential Information also includes all analyses, compilations, studies and other documents whether prepared by or on behalf of a party which contain or otherwise reflect or are derived from such information. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the disclosure of information held by any party which is a Public Authority (as defined in the FOIA) beyond the restrictions permitted by the FOIA. Each Receiving Party shall hold in confidence any Confidential Information, PROVIDED THAT the provisions of this clause shall not restrict a Receiving Party from passing such information to its professional advisers and insurers, to the extent necessary, to enable it to perform (or to cause to be performed) or to enforce its rights or obligations under this Agreement, and provided further that the LEP may, subject to obtaining appropriate confidentiality restrictions: pass to the Funders and their professional advisors or any prospective funders and their professional advisors or investors and their professional advisors such documents and other information as are reasonably required by the Funders in connection with the raising of finance for the SPA Operations or which the LEP is obliged to supply by the terms of the Funding Agreements; and pass to Service Providers documents and other information which are necessary for the LEP's performance of this Agreement. The obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information does not apply to Confidential Information: which the Disclosing Party confirms in writing is not required to be treated as Confidential Information; which is or comes into the public domain otherwise than through any disclosure prohibited by this Agreement; to the extent required to be disclosed pursuant to clause 9.12 (Records), clause 9.15 (Auditor), or required to be disclosed to the Audit Commission, District Auditor or required to be disclosed for the proper performance of the Services; or which is disclosed to enable a determination to be made under clause 16 (Dispute Resolution); the disclosure of which is required by any Law (including any order of a court of competent jurisdiction), any Parliamentary obligation or the rules of any stock exchange or governmental or regulatory authority having the force of law or, if not having the force of law, compliance with which is in accordance with the general practice of persons subject to the stock exchange or government or regulatory authority concerned; disclosed by the Local Authority where the Confidential Information relates to the design, construction, operation or maintenance of the Project or is other information as may be reasonably required for the purpose of conducting a due diligence exercise disclosed to any person in connection with a benchmarking exercise in accordance with clause 8.3 or market testing in accordance with Schedule 4; disclosed by the Local Authority to any other department, office or agency of the Government or the governing body of any of the Facilities; disclosed for the purpose of: the examination and certification of the Local Authority's or the LEP's accounts; or any examination pursuant to the Local Government Act 1999 of the economy, efficiency and effectiveness with which the Local Authority has performed its functions; or which is already in the lawful possession of the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party provided that any subsequent disclosure is not in breach of any restriction, condition or stipulation already applying to that Confidential Information. Unless otherwise required by any Law or any regulatory or governmental authority or in the circumstances set out in clause (c)(vii) (but only to that extent), neither party shall make or permit or procure to be made any public announcement or disclosure (whether for publication in the press, the radio, television screen or any other medium) of any Confidential Information or in the case of the LEP of its (or any LEP Party's) interest in the Project or, in any such case, any matters relating thereto, without the prior written consent of the other party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Subject to sub-clause (e)(ii), the Local Authority shall be free to disclose the terms of this Agreement and the other Project Documents to any Relevant Government Department and the parties agree that the Local Authority shall be free to use and disclose such information on such terms and in such manner as any Relevant Government Department sees fit. The Local Authority shall notify the LEP in writing not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to any intended disclosure of the terms of any of the documents referred to in sub-clause (e)(i) to any Relevant Government Department. The LEP shall notify the Local Authority in writing of any terms of such documents (the Sensitive Information) that the LEP objects to being disclosed within five (5) Business Days of any such notification by the Local Authority (failing which the LEP shall be deemed to have notified the Local Authority that it has no objection to any such disclosure). Without prejudice to the Local Authority's right to disclose the Sensitive Information pursuant to sub-clause (e)(i), the Local Authority shall consult with the LEP following receipt of a notification from the LEP that it objects to disclosure of such Sensitive Information with a view to agreeing whether or not part or all of the Sensitive Information can be removed from the information to be disclosed. Without prejudice to the foregoing provisions of this clause 17.6, the parties agree, throughout the term of this Agreement, to offer all reasonable co-operation and assistance to PfS (including providing information to PfS within such time periods as may reasonably be specified by PfS) for the purpose of the collection and use of data by PfS in connection with the performance of projects including, without limitation, the provision of information in relation to key performance indicators designated from time to time by PfS as "national priority" key performance indicators even if those national priority key performance indicators are not agreed and adopted by the LEP as Key Performance Indicators. If and to the extent information is requested from the parties by PfS in relation to key performance indicators which are not Key Performance Indicators the relevant party or parties shall supply that information to PfS within such time period as may reasonably be specified by PfS. If the information requested by PfS is not otherwise collected or monitored by the party from whom the information is requested then that party shall, subject to prior notification to and agreement of PfS, be entitled to charge to PfS that party's reasonable costs of complying with the request for information from PfS in relation to any additional work required to be undertaken by the relevant party to provide the information requested which that party would not otherwise be required to undertake under this Agreement or Project Agreements or would not otherwise undertake in any event in the normal course of business.
