AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION OR REIMBURSEMENT Clause Samples

The "Authorization of Indemnification or Reimbursement" clause defines the process by which a company formally approves the payment of indemnification or reimbursement to individuals, such as directors, officers, or employees, for expenses or liabilities incurred in the course of their duties. Typically, this clause outlines who within the organization (such as the board of directors or a designated committee) has the authority to grant such payments and may specify the procedures or conditions that must be met before authorization is given. Its core practical function is to ensure that indemnification or reimbursement is not automatic, but rather subject to oversight and approval, thereby protecting the organization from unauthorized or inappropriate payments while providing a clear mechanism for supporting individuals acting on its behalf.
AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION OR REIMBURSEMENT. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 hereof (unless ordered by a court) and any reimbursement made under Section 3 hereof shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination (the “Determination”) that indemnification or reimbursement of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1, 2 or 3 hereof, as the case may be. Subject to Sections 6.5, 6.6 and 9 of this Agreement, the Determination shall be made in the following order of preference: (1) first, by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) by majority vote or consent of a quorum consisting of directors (“Disinterested Directors”) who are not, at the time of the Determination, parties to such action, suit or proceeding; or (2) next, if such a quorum of Disinterested Directors cannot be obtained, by majority vote or consent of a committee duly designated by the Board (in which designation all directors, whether or not Disinterested Directors, may participate) consisting solely of two or more Disinterested Directors; or (3) next, if such a committee cannot be designated, by any independent legal counsel selected in accordance with Section 6.5, whose determination shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement.

  • Authorization of Indemnification Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

  • Continuation of Indemnification All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period that the Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an agent of another enterprise, foreign or domestic) and shall continue thereafter so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee was a director or officer of the Company or serving in any other capacity referred to in this Paragraph 10.

  • Limitation of Indemnification Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, nothing herein shall indemnify the Indemnitee against, or exempt the Indemnitee from, any liability in respect of the Indemnitee’s fraud or dishonesty.

  • Termination of Indemnification The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party (i) pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 shall terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Section 7.6; provided, however, that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any specific matter as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a written notice thereof (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Person.

  • Exclusion of Indemnification Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, there shall be no right to indemnification for any liability arising by reason of the Agent’s Disqualifying Conduct. In respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that Person shall have been adjudged to be liable in the performance of that Person’s duty to the Trust or the Shareholders, indemnification shall be made only to the extent that the court in which that action was brought shall determine, upon application or otherwise, that in view of all the circumstances of the case, that Person was not liable by reason of that Person’s Disqualifying Conduct.
