INDEMNIFICATION MANDATORY; STANDARD Sample Clauses

The "Indemnification Mandatory; Standard" clause requires one party to compensate the other for certain losses, damages, or liabilities that may arise in connection with the agreement. Typically, this means that if one party is sued or incurs costs due to the actions or omissions of the other, the responsible party must cover those expenses. For example, if a contractor causes property damage while performing services, the contractor would be required to indemnify the client for any resulting claims or costs. This clause serves to allocate risk between the parties and ensures that the party responsible for causing harm bears the financial burden, thereby protecting the other party from unforeseen liabilities.
INDEMNIFICATION MANDATORY; STANDARD. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4, a corporation shall indemnify a person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person against judgments, penalties, fines, including without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if, with respect to the acts or omissions of the person complained of in the proceeding, the person: (1) has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties, fines, including without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or omissions; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no improper personal benefit and Section 302A.255, if applicable, has been satisfied; (4) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (5) in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the official capacity described in Section 1, paragraph (c), clause (1) or (2), reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the official capacity described in Section 1, paragraph (c), clause (3), reasonable believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. If the person's acts or omissions complained of in the proceeding relate to conduct as a director, officer, trustee, employee, or agent of an employee benefit plan, the conduct is not considered to be opposed to the best interests of the corporation if the person reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of the employee benefit plan. (b) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent does not, of itself, establish that the person did not meet the criteria set forth in this Section 2.
