Parent shall (a) make promptly its filing, and thereafter make any other required submissions, under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger Agreement and the Merger and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger as promptly as practicable, including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Entities and parties to contracts with Parent or the Company or their Subsidiaries as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to fulfill the conditions to the Merger.
Section 3.5 Indemnification. (a) Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Stockholder and all of its members, Affiliates, partners, and their respective directors, managing directors, members, partners, attorneys, representatives, officers, and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any payments made or payable by any Indemnified Party in respect of (i) costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred, (ii) judgments, fines, losses, amounts paid in settlement, claims, penalties and damages incurred or suffered and (iii) liabilities incurred, in each case, by any Indemnified Party, arising by reason of such Stockholder entering into and performing this Agreement, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, the advancement of reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements, which shall be paid, reimbursed or advanced by Parent on a monthly basis prior to the final disposition thereof without the requirement of any bond or other security). From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, keep in full force and effect, and comply with the terms and conditions of, any agreement listed on Section 6.9 of the Ivory Disclosure Schedule (including, without limitation, the Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2003, among the Company and the Stockholders who purchased Series C Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant thereto). For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws providing for indemnification of each present and former officer, director and employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Merger Agreement Indemnified Parties”), with respect to facts and circumstances occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted from time to time under the DGCL, which provisions shall not be amended except as required by applicable Law or except to make changes permitted by applicable Law that would increase the scope of the Merger Agreement Indemnified Parties’ indemnification rights thereunder; provided
4
that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of its involvement in any new action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation arising after the date hereof, the Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against Parent pursuant to Section 3.5(a), notify Parent of such involvement. Failure by an Indemnified Party to so notify Parent shall relieve Parent from the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.5 only to the extent that Parent suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. Parent shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation as well as any action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation existing prior to the date hereof and subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 3.5(a), with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Without limiting Parent’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 3.5(a), upon assumption by Parent of the defense of any such action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation and to retain its own counsel at Parent’s expense; provided, however, that Parent shall not, in connection with any one such action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation or separate but substantially similar actions, suits, proceedings, arbitrations or investigations arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation. Parent shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation defended by Parent in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such compromise or settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its directors, agents or stockholders, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 3.5 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.
(d) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any one Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 3.5.
(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 3.5 shall be in addition to any rights such person may have under the charter or bylaws of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, under Delaware Law or any other applicable Laws or under any agreement of any
5
Indemnified Party with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. These rights shall survive consummation of any acquisition of the Company by Parent and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party.
Section 3.6 Guarantee. News, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Stockholders, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the performance of all obligations hereunder of Parent and the due and punctual payment by Parent in full of any amounts payable by Parent pursuant to this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, News waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Stockholders, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the obligations of News hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Stockholders to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy against Parent under the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, or (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions, of this Agreement. News agrees that the guarantee pursuant to this Section 3.6 constitutes an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Stockholders to (i) the Stockholder’s rights against any other person, including Parent, or (ii) any other right or remedy available to the Stockholders by contract, applicable Law or otherwise. It is the intent of the guarantee pursuant to this Section 3.6 that the Stockholders shall have resort to News without asserting or resorting to any remedy against Parent and without demand to it, as though News were primarily liable for any payment due hereunder.
