  • Certain Limits on Indemnification Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 6), Indemnitee shall not be entitled to: (a) indemnification hereunder if the Proceeding was one by or in the right of the Company and Indemnitee is adjudged, in a final adjudication of the Proceeding not subject to further appeal, to be liable to the Company; (b) indemnification hereunder if Indemnitee is adjudged, in a final adjudication of the Proceeding not subject to further appeal, to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received in any Proceeding charging improper personal benefit to Indemnitee, whether or not involving action in the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status; or (c) indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder if the Proceeding was brought by Indemnitee, unless: (i) the Proceeding was brought to enforce indemnification under this Agreement, and then only to the extent in accordance with and as authorized by Section 12 of this Agreement, or (ii) the Company’s charter or Bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors or an agreement approved by the Board of Directors to which the Company is a party expressly provide otherwise.

  • Limitations on Indemnification Obligations (a) Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses incurred by Purchaser or other Indemnified Parties of the Purchaser under Section 8.2 until the Losses for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement exceed $150,000 in the aggregate, in which case, upon exceeding such threshold amount, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover all such Losses (including such initial threshold amount). Except as expressly provided in the next sentence of this Section 8.7(a), notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller’s liability for Losses under Section 8.2(a) exceed, in the aggregate, $16,666,666.67; in no event shall Seller’s liability for Losses under Section 8.2(b) (other than Sections 8.2(b)(iv) and (b)(v)) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price; and in no event shall Purchaser’s liability for Losses under Section 8.2(c) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price. The provisions of this Section 8.7(a) shall not apply to either party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement arising out of, relating to or resulting from fraud by such party. (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of an Indemnifying Party’s liability pursuant to this Section 8 shall be net of any insurance proceeds or other third party indemnity or contribution amounts actually recovered by an Indemnified Party. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such insurance proceeds or other third party indemnity or contribution amounts recoverable by such Indemnified Party, and in the event any such amounts are collected after a claim for Losses has been paid by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse such amounts to such Indemnifying Party. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to an Indemnified Party for any indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage (including any loss of opportunity or loss of value, revenue or profit) arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by an Indemnified Party in respect of any such Losses either (i) directly incurred as a result of a Third Party Claim or (ii) relating to or in connection with any Losses for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(iv) or 8.2(b)(v).

  • Indemnification Claims (a) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under Section 7.1 or 7.2 in respect of, arising out of or involving, a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party Claim (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claims, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by the Indemnified Party) within 20 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim (a "Claim Notice"); provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 7.1 or 7.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within 10 Business Days after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnified Party relating to such Third Party Claim. (b) The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof (at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party notice of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 15 days of receipt of the applicable Claim Notice, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay damages that could reasonably be expected to arise from such Third Party Claim, and (iii) such counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 7.3 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or of assistance as contemplated by this Section 7.3; provided that (1) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, that it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel due to actual or potential conflicts of interest, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel (limited to one law firm) to represent it and in that event the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, and (2) the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give the Claim Notice as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense (except as otherwise provided herein), separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement that the claims made in that Third Party Claim are within the scope and subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. The indemnification required by Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be, shall be made by prompt payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or the indemnifiable Loss is incurred. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim, all the parties hereto reasonably necessary for such defense or prosecution shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof, which cooperation shall include (upon the Indemnifying Party's reasonable request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided that, without the Indemnified Party's consent, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (x) that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or (y) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). (c) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement other than in respect of, arising out of or involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party (including in such notice a brief description of the applicable claims, including damages sought or estimated, to the extent actually known by the Indemnified Party); provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided under Section 7.1 or 7.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

  • Limitations on Indemnification (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2, Seller shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any of Buyer Indemnified Parties on account of any Buyer Indemnified Losses under Section 7.2 unless the liability of Seller in respect of such Buyer Indemnified Loss, when aggregated with the liability of Seller in respect of all Buyer Indemnified Losses under Section 7.2, exceeds $250,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnified Losses. In no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller under Section 7.2 of this Agreement exceed $2,000,000 (the “Ceiling Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Ceiling Amount shall be applicable to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(iii) or Section 7.2(iv) or with respect to the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in the first and second sentences of Section 3.2, Section 3.2(e), Section 3.8 and Section 3.10. Seller may satisfy any obligations arising pursuant to this Article 7 in any combination of cash or the surrender of Consideration Units for redemption (valued at $21.00 per Consideration Unit); provided that, Seller must provide written notice to Buyer of the intent to make a payment (in whole or in part) by surrendering Consideration Units for redemption at least five business days prior to the due date of any such payment. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3, Buyer shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless any of the Seller Indemnified Parties on account of any Seller Indemnified Loss under Section 7.3 unless the liability of Buyer in respect of such Seller Indemnified Loss, when aggregated with the liability of Buyer in respect of all Seller Indemnified Losses under Section 7.3, exceeds the Threshold Amount, in which event Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification from Buyer in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnified Losses exceed the Threshold Amount. In no event shall Buyer be liable under Section 7.3 of this Agreement for any amount in excess of the Ceiling Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Ceiling Amount shall be applicable to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(iii) or Section 7.3(iv) or with respect the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in Section 4.6. (c) The amount of indemnity claim hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any tax benefit actually realized by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of such claim. (d) The amount of any indemnity claim hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any proceeds of insurance actually received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, in connection with such claim; provided, however, the foregoing shall not bar any insurance company that has made any payment to a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party from pursuing its lawful rights to subrogation. (e) Except as set forth in Section 9.6(b), the parties agree that the indemnification provisions in this Article 7 shall be the exclusive remedy of the parties with respect to any claims between the parties concerning this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.
