Immunity and Indemnification The Trustee shall not incur personal liability of any nature in connection with any act or omission, made in good faith, in the administration of this Trust, or in carrying out any directions by the Grantor or the Agency issued in accordance with this Agreement. The Trustee shall be indemnified and saved harmless by the Grantor or from the Trust Fund, or both, from and against any personal liability to which the Trustee may be subjected by reason of any act or conduct in its official capacity, including all expenses reasonably incurred in its defense in the event the Grantor fails to provide such defense.
Indemnification in Third Party Proceedings Subject to Section 10 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding, for any and all expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding.
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.
Indemnification; Exoneration (a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article 3, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Revolving Lender from and against any and all liabilities and costs which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than, in the case of such Issuing Bank, as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”). (b) As among the Borrower, the Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of such Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the Letter of Credit applications and Letter of Credit reimbursement agreements executed by the Borrower at the time of request for any Letter of Credit, neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Revolving Lender shall be responsible (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction): (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, or other similar form of teletransmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical trade terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Lenders, including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 3.10. (c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates shall not, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, put such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person. (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 3.10 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.
Warranty and Indemnification Executive warrants that Executive is not a party to any restrictive agreement limiting Executive’s activities in his employment by the Company. Executive further warrants that at the time of the signing of this Agreement, Executive knows of no written or oral contract or of any other impediment that would inhibit or prohibit employment with the Company, and that Executive will not knowingly use any trade secret, confidential information, or other intellectual property right of any other party in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. Executive shall hold the Company harmless from any and all suits and claims arising out of any breach of such restrictive agreement or contracts.
Liability and Indemnity a. In no event shall the City be liable to the Contractor for special, indirect, or consequential damages, except those caused by the City’s gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct arising out of or in any way connected with a breach of this contract. The maximum liability of the City shall be limited to the amount of money to be paid or received by the City under this contract. b. The Contractor shall defend, indemnify and save harmless the City, its elected or appointed officials, agents and employees from and against any and all liability, suits, damages, costs (including attorney fees), losses, outlays and expenses from claims in any manner caused by, or allegedly caused by, or arising out of, or connected with, this contract, or the work or any subcontract thereunder (the Contractor hereby assuming full responsibility for relations with subcontractors), including, but not limited to, claims for personal injuries, death, property damage, or for damages from the award of this contract to Contractor, notwithstanding any possible negligence, whether sole or concurrent, on the part of the City, its officials, agents and employees. c. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from all wages or overtime compensation due any employees in rendering services pursuant to this agreement or any subcontract, including payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in the defense of any claim made under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Missouri Prevailing Wage Law or any other federal or state law. d. The indemnification obligations of Contractor hereunder shall not be limited by any limitations as to the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Contractor, under any federal or state law, to any person asserting the claim against City, its elected or appointed officials, agents and employees, for which indemnification is sought. e. The indemnification obligations herein shall not negate, abridge or reduce in any way any additional indemnification rights of the City, its elected or appointed officials, agents and employees, which are otherwise available under statute, or in law or equity. f. Contractor affirms that it has had the opportunity to recover the costs of the liability insurance required in this agreement in its contract price. Contractor’s obligation under this agreement to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless any person from that person’s own negligence or wrongdoing is limited to the coverage and limits of the applicable insurance required of the Contractor under this agreement. g. The Contractor shall indemnify and hold the City harmless for any penalties, fines, fees or costs, including costs of defense, which are charged or assessed by any Federal, state or local agency including, but not limited to, Environmental Protection Agency or Department of Natural Resources.
Expenses and Indemnity (a) In connection with the Fiscal Agent’s appointment and duties under this Agreement and the Bonds, the Province will pay the Fiscal Agent compensation in an amount separately agreed upon by the Province and the Fiscal Agent, subject to the provisions of the Financial Administration Act (British Columbia). The Province will indemnify and hold harmless the Fiscal Agent against all claims, actions, demands, damages, costs, losses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Fiscal Agent by reason of, or in connection with, the Fiscal Agent’s appointment and duties as such, except as such result from any negligent act or omission, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Fiscal Agent or its directors, officers, employees or agents. In addition, the Province shall, pursuant to arrangements separately agreed upon by the Province and the Fiscal Agent, transfer to the Fiscal Agent, upon presentation of substantiating documentation satisfactory to the Province, amounts sufficient to reimburse the Fiscal Agent for certain out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with its services. The obligation of the Province under this subsection shall survive payment of the Bonds and resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent. (b) The Fiscal Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Province against all claims, actions, demands, damages, costs, losses and liabilities arising out of or relating to any negligent act or omission, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Fiscal Agent or its directors, officers, employees, or agents. The obligations of the Fiscal Agent under this subsection shall survive payment of the Bonds and resignation or removal of the Fiscal Agent. (c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement but failure to so notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defence of such action. If it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party may assume the defence of such action with legal advisors chosen by it and approved by the indemnified party defendant in such action, unless such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defences available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party (in which case, the indemnified party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel), but an indemnifying party may not settle any action commenced against an indemnified party without the written consent of the indemnified party. In order to be entitled to an indemnity with respect to a claim hereunder, an indemnified party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnifying party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding). If any indemnifying party assumes the defence of any such action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees or expenses of the legal advisors of the indemnified party incurred thereafter in connection with such action. In no event shall the indemnifying party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one legal advisor for the indemnified party in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

Except as may otherwise be provided by the Investment Company Act or any other federal securities law (whose provisions may not be waived or altered by contract), the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred or suffered by the Portfolio(s), the Trust or the Adviser as a result of any error of judgment, mistake of law, or other action or omission by the Sub-Adviser; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall operate or purport to operate in any way to exculpate, waive or limit the liability of the Sub-Adviser for, and the Sub-Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser and the Trust, all affiliated persons thereof (as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act) and all controlling persons thereof (as described in Section 15 of the Securities Act) (collectively, “Adviser Indemnitees”) against, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including reasonable legal and other expenses) to which any of the Adviser Indemnitees may become subject under the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act or any other statute, or at common law or otherwise, arising out of or based on (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or gross negligence of the Sub-Adviser in the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature or other materials pertaining to the Portfolio(s), the Trust or the Adviser, or the omission to state therein a material fact known to the Sub-Adviser which was required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Adviser or the Trust by the Sub-Adviser Indemnitees (as defined below) for use therein. B. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Investment Company Act or any other federal securities law (whose provisions may not be waived or altered by contract), the Adviser shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred or suffered by the Sub-Adviser as a result of any error of judgment, mistake of law, or other action or omission by the Adviser; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall operate or purport to operate in any way to exculpate, waive or limit the liability of the Adviser for, and the Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sub-Adviser, all affiliated persons thereof (as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act) and all controlling persons thereof (as described in Section 15 of the Securities Act) (collectively, “Sub-Adviser Indemnitees”) against, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or litigation (including reasonable legal and other expenses) to which any of the Sub-Adviser Indemnitees may become subject under the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act or any other statute, or at common law or otherwise, arising out of or based on (i) any willful misconduct, bad faith, reckless disregard or gross negligence of the Adviser in the performance of any of its duties or obligations hereunder or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature or other materials pertaining to the Portfolio(s), the Trust or the Adviser, or the omission to state therein a material fact known to the Adviser that was required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished to the Adviser or the Trust by the Sub-Adviser Indemnitees.
Company Indemnity The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person controlling each of the foregoing, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any state securities law or in either case, any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person controlling each of the foregoing, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to a Holder to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based (i) on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by a Holder or the underwriter (if any) therefore, (ii) the failure of a Holder to deliver at or prior to the written confirmation of sale, the most recent prospectus, as amended or supplemented or (iii) the failure of a Holder otherwise to comply with this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
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.
