INSURANCE and INDEMNIFICATION REQUIREMENTS See Exhibit C, attached hereto, for insurance requirements for this Agreement. The COUNTY’S insurance requirements are a material provision to this Agreement.
Indemnification and Insurance (a) From and after the Share Purchase, Parent shall cause the Corporation to (i) maintain in effect in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation the provisions with respect to the indemnification set forth in Article VII of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as in effect at the Share Purchase, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals (or their estates) who at the date of this Agreement and/or as of the closing of the Share Purchase are or were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, unless such modification is required by law and (ii) maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years from the Share Purchase each Indemnification Agreement in effect (as of such date) between the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and officers and directors of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, which Indemnification Agreement shall not be amended or modified during such period in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the individual who is a party thereto.
(b) Prior to the Share Purchase, the Corporation shall purchase a six year "tail" insurance policy with its current carrier substantially identical in all respects to the Corporation's current directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage (and providing coverage for an amount not less than $30,000,000 and providing for two reinstatement options, exercisable at any time during such six year tail period of $30,000,000) covering those persons who are currently covered on the date of this Agreement by the Corporation's directors' and officers' liability insurance policy (a copy of which has been heretofore delivered to Parent) (the "Indemnified Parties").
(c) In the event the Corporation or Parent or any of their respective 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 all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to relieve Parent or the Corporation of their respective obligations to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section, and each of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce such obligations (including the right to indemnification) directly against the Parent or the Corporation without first making any claim with respect thereto against any applicable successor or assign.
(e) This Section 6.6 shall survive the consummation of the Share Purchase and the Merger, if necessary, is intended to benefit the Corporation and the Indemnified Parties, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Corporation and the Parent. Parent shall cause the Corporation to honor its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.6 from and after the Share Purchase.
Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance (a) From the Effective Time through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of Parent and the Surviving Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of Parent or the Company, respectively (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, Action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of Parent or of the Company, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Company, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Parent or the Surviving Company from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided, that any such D&O Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to Parent, to the extent then required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such D&O Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.
(b) The provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of Parent that are presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of Parent, unless such modification is required by applicable Law. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company shall contain, and Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers as those presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent.
(c) From and after the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Company shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its D&O Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s organizational documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such D&O Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and (ii) Parent shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of Parent to its D&O Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under Parent’s organizational documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between Parent and such D&O Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.
(d) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, with an effective date as of the Closing Date, on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public companies similarly situated to Parent. In addition, Parent shall purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six- year prepaid “D&O tail policy” for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Parent’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under Parent’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of Parent by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with Parent’s initial public offering of shares of Parent Common Stock).
(e) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 7.5 in connection with their enforcement of the rights provided to such persons in this Section 7.5.
(f) The provisions of this Section 7.5 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of Parent and the Company by Law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their Representatives.
(g) In the event Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.5. Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Company under this Section 7.5.
