Waiver and Indemnification (a) Neither the Partners nor any Person acting on their behalf, pursuant hereto, shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership or to any Partner for any acts or omissions performed or omitted to be performed by them within the scope of the authority conferred upon the Partners by this Agreement and the Act, provided that the Partner’s or such other Person’s conduct or omission to act was taken in good faith and in the belief that such conduct or omission was in the best interests of the Partnership and, provided further, that the Partner or such other Person shall not be guilty of fraud, misconduct or negligence. The Partnership shall, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless the Partners and their Affiliates and any individual acting on their behalf from any loss, damage, claims or liability, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by them by reason of any act performed by them in accordance with the standards set forth above or in enforcing the provisions of this indemnity; provided, however, no Partner shall have any personal liability with respect to the foregoing indemnification, any such indemnification to be satisfied solely out of the assets of the Partnership. (b) Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement shall be entitled to receive, upon application therefor, advances to cover the costs of defending any proceeding against such Person; provided, however, that such advances shall be repaid to the Partnership, without interest, if such Person is found by a court of competent jurisdiction upon entry of a final judgment not to be entitled to such indemnification. All rights of the indemnitee hereunder shall survive the dissolution of the Partnership; provided, however, that a claim for indemnification under this Agreement must be made by or on behalf of the Person seeking indemnification prior to the time the Partnership is liquidated hereunder. The indemnification rights contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights, remedies and recourse to which the person seeking indemnification shall be entitled, whether at law or at equity. Indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be made solely and entirely from the assets for the Partnership and no Partner shall be liable therefor.
Insurance and Indemnification (a) The Company hereby acknowledges its indemnification obligations to the Seller under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws and that certain Indemnity Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2000, by and between the Company and the Seller, whereby the Company has agreed to indemnify the Seller in his capacity as a director of the Company. The Company hereby confirms its obligations to the Seller under such instruments and its intention to honor such obligations. (b) For ten years from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall maintain in effect the current provisions regarding limitation of liability of directors and indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, directors as contained in its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company may amend such provisions so long as any such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the Seller. (c) For ten years from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company at not less than current levels with respect to acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Seller’s resignation as a director of the Company (provided that the Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous to the insured, so long as the substitute insurer or carrier has a Best’s rating that is no lower than AX). (d) The Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Seller against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Seller relating to or arising out of any claim, demand, asserted liability, suit or proceeding of any kind (any, a “Claim”) with respect to this Agreement or the Irrevocable Proxy or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including without limitation the Company’s repurchase of the Shares and the Options. This indemnification obligation is separate and apart from the obligations referred to in the above paragraphs of this Section 15 and shall apply to any and all such Claims whether or not arising out of, based upon or related to the Seller’s service as a director of the Company. The Company may elect to compromise or defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any Claim if (i) the Company expressly agrees in writing to the Seller that, as between the two, the Company is solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Claim, (ii) the Company makes reasonably adequate provision to satisfy the Seller of the Company’s ability to satisfy and discharge the claim, and (iii) the Claim involves solely monetary damages (collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”); provided, however, that if the parties in any action shall include both the Company and the Seller, and the Seller shall have reasonably concluded that counsel selected by the Company has a conflict of interest because of the availability of different or additional defenses to the Seller, the Seller shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on his behalf, at the expense of the Company; and provided further, however, that the Company shall forfeit the right to control the defense or settlement of any such claim if, at any time after assuming the defense or settlement thereof, the Company and the Claim no longer satisfy the Litigation Conditions. Subject to the foregoing, if the Company elects to compromise or defend such Claim, it shall within 30 days (or sooner, if the nature of the Claim so requires) notify the Seller of its intent to do so, and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate, at the expense of the Company, in the compromise of, or defense against, such Claim (it being understood the Seller shall be entitled to participate in any such defense at its own expense). If the Company elects not to compromise or defend the Claim, fails to notify the Seller of its election as herein provided, or fails to satisfy the Litigation Conditions, the Seller may pay, compromise or defend such Claim at the expense of the Company (it being understood the Company may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Claim). If the Company chooses to defend any Claim, the Seller shall, subject to receipt of a reasonable confidentiality agreement, make available to the Company any books, records or other documents within his control, for which the Company shall be obliged to reimburse the Seller the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of making them available. The Company will be under no obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Seller for any Claim by the Company that the Seller has breached this Agreement or the Irrevocable Proxy.
