Indemnitee Entitled to Adjudication in an Appropriate Court Sample Clauses

This clause establishes the right of the indemnitee—the party seeking indemnification—to have any disputes or claims regarding indemnification resolved in a suitable court of law. In practice, it ensures that if a disagreement arises over whether indemnification is owed, the indemnitee can bring the matter before a competent judicial authority rather than being restricted to alternative dispute resolution methods like arbitration. The core function of this clause is to guarantee the indemnitee access to formal legal proceedings, thereby providing a clear and enforceable path for resolving indemnification disputes.
Indemnitee Entitled to Adjudication in an Appropriate Court. If (a) a determination is made pursuant to Article IV that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement; (b) there has been any failure by the Company to make timely payment or advancement of any amounts due hereunder (including, without limitation, any Expense Advances); or (c) the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 4.2 and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within 60 days after the latest of (i) such Independent Counsel’s being appointed, (ii) the overruling by the Court of objections to such counsel’s selection, or (iii) expiration of all periods for the Company or Indemnitee to object to such counsel’s selection, Indemnitee shall be entitled to commence an action seeking an adjudication in the Court of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancements due hereunder, including, without limitation, Expense Advances. Alternatively, Indemnitee, in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such action seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such action pursuant to this Section 5.1, or such right shall expire. The Company agrees not to oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration and it shall continue to pay Expense Advances pursuant to Section 3.3 until it shall ultimately be determined (in a Final Adjudication) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company against such Expenses.
