Procedure for Indemnification. (a) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of or the threat of commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if Indemnitee believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company in writing of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof. The written notification to the Company shall be addressed to the Board and shall include documentation or information which is necessary for the determination of entitlement to indemnification and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee. Delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver or release by Indemnitee of any rights hereunder. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power.
(b) Any indemnification requested by Indemnitee under Paragraph 3 hereof shall be made no later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee; provided that a determination is made within said 30-day period that Indemnitee has met the relevant standards for indemnification set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof (i) by the stockholders, (ii) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, (iii) if such a quorum so orders, by Independent Legal Counsel (selected by the Company and approved by Indemnitee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) in a written opinion, or (iv) in the event such a quorum is not obtainable, by Independent Legal Counsel (selected by the Company and approved by Indemnitee, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) in a written opinion. Upon making a request for indemnification, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption by clear and convincing evidence in reaching any contrary determination.
(c) Notwithstanding a determination under Paragraph 6(b) hereof that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification with respect to any specific Proceeding, Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Nevada for the purpose of enforcing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, which determination shall be made de novo, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of a determination under Paragraph 6(b) hereof that he or she is...
Procedure for Indemnification. (a) Except as may be set forth in a Related Agreement, if an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including, without limitation, any governmental entity) who is not a party to this Agreement or to any of the Related Agreements of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (a "Third-Party Claim") with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof promptly after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as required by this Section 5.04 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article V, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, and shall indicate the amount (estimated if necessary) of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been or may be sustained by such Indemnitee.
(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend or to seek to settle or compromise, at such Indemnifying Party's own expense and by such Indemnifying Party's own counsel, any Third-Party Claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party must confirm in writing that it agrees that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of such Third-Party Claim. Within 30 days of the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 5.04(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election whether to assume responsibility for such Third-Party Claim (provided that if the Indemnifying Party does not so notify the Indemnitee of its election within 30 days after receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected not to assume responsibility for such Third-Party Claim), and such Indemnitee shall cooperate in the defense or settlement or compromise of such Third-Party Claim. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume responsibility for a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Article V for any legal or other expenses (except expenses approved in advance by the Indemnifying Party) subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; ...
Procedure for Indemnification. (a) To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
(b) The Corporation’s determination whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days following receipt of a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5(a). The right to indemnification as granted by Section 1 of this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or fails to respond within such 60-day period. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 4 hereof where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, but the burden of proving such defense by clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding or otherwise shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.
(c) The Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement upon ...
Procedure for Indemnification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof of notice of the commencement of any action or assertion of any claim, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement or assertion thereof, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is materially prejudiced thereby. If any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such Section for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such an action:
(a) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and
(b) the indemnifying party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any action and it does not, within ten (10) business days after the indemnified party's notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be bound by any determination made in such action or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith...
Procedure for Indemnification. A. The party which is entitled to be indemnified hereunder (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall promptly give notice hereunder to the party required to indemnify (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") after obtaining written notice of any claim as to which recovery may be sought against the indemnifying party because of the indemnity in Section 1 and Section 2 hereof and, if such indemnity shall arise from the claim of a third party, shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim and any litigation resulting from such claim, provided that, Buyer or Meritage may, in their discretion, undertake, at Seller's cost and expense, the defense of any claim for which Seller is responsible hereunder with respect to any lots, land, rights to purchase lots or land, project or subdivision within the Owned Real Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to indemnification hereunder shall not be affected by any failure of an Indemnified Party to give such notice, or delay by an Indemnified Party in giving such notice, unless, and then only to the extent that, the rights and remedies of the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced as a result of the failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice. Failure by an Indemnifying Party to notify an Indemnified Party of its election to defend any such claim or action by a third party within 10 days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its right to defend such claim or action.
B. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such claim or litigation, the Indemnifying Party shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such claim or litigation, and will hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all damages caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation. The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, consent to entry of any judgment (other than a judgment of dismissal on the merits without costs) except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, or enter into any settlement (except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
C. If th...
Procedure for Indemnification. If an indemnitee receives notice of any ----------------------------- claim, or the commencement of a claim by a person who is not a party to this Agreement (a "Third Party Claim") with respect to which an indemnifying party may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnitee shall give the indemnifying party notice promptly upon becoming aware of the Third Party Claim. The failure to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by the failure to give the notice. The notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, including the amount (estimated if necessary) of the loss that has been or may be sustained by the indemnitee. The indemnifying party shall defend or compromise the Third Party Claim at its expense and by counsel of its choice. Within thirty days following the receipt of the notice, the indemnifying party shall notify the indemnitee whether the indemnifying party will assume responsibility for defending the Third Party Claim; however, an indemnifying party may elect not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim only in the event of a good faith dispute that the claim was appropriately tendered under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. After giving notice of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other costs and expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the defense. If an indemnifying party elects to defend or compromise any Third Party Claim, the indemnitee shall cooperate with the indemnifying party in all reasonable respects in connection the defense or compromise, and shall not admit any liability with respect to the Third Party Claim, or settle, compromise, or discharge the Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party's prior written consent. Following the payment by an indemnifying party to any indemnitee in connection with any Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of the indemnitee with respect to any rights or claims the indemnitee may have in connection with the Third Party Claim, or against the person asserting the Third Party Claim.
Procedure for Indemnification. Any party entitled to ------------------------------- indemnification under this Article 9 (an "Indemnified Party") will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article 9 except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an Indemnified Party that it will not contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within 30 days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party's costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any settlement negotiations or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party, which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be ent...
Procedure for Indemnification. Upon becoming aware of a claim for indemnification hereunder (whether as a result of any Third Party Claim or in connection with any Losses incurred by an indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VI or otherwise), the indemnified Party shall give, in accordance with the terms of Section 9.2, notice of such claim (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying Party, providing reasonable detail of how the claim has arisen and an estimate of the amount the indemnified Party reasonably anticipates that it will be entitled to on account of indemnification by the indemnifying Party. If the indemnifying Party does not object to such indemnification claim within 30 days of receiving notice thereof, the amount of such Claim Notice shall be deemed final and undisputed and the indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of such claim. If the indemnifying Party objects to such indemnification claim (by notifying the indemnified Party within 30 days (such notice, an “Objection Notice”) of receiving a Claim Notice), the Parties shall attempt to resolve such claim in good faith within 30 days of the date of the Objection Notice. If the Parties are unable to resolve such claim, the indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available on the terms and subject to the provision of this Agreement.
Procedure for Indemnification. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to Section 2.01, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the applicable Indemnifying Party in writing. The Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall acknowledge its obligation, subject to the terms hereof, to indemnify the Indemnified Party in writing and shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding, within a reasonable period of time after such fees and disbursements are billed by such counsel. If the Indemnifying Party fails to acknowledge its obligation, subject to the terms hereof, to indemnify in writing or fails to retain such counsel within a reasonable period of time after such notice was given, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (a) the preceding sentence is applicable, (b) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (c) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.
Procedure for Indemnification. The procedure for indemnification shall be as follows:
(a) The Claimant, as the party claiming indemnification, shall give written notice to the Indemnifier of any claim, whether between or among Parties or brought by a Third Party, within 20 days of receiving notice, or becoming aware, thereof and specifying (i) the factual basis for such claim (to the extent known by the Claimant) and (ii) if known, the amount of the claim; provided that, failure to give such notice within 20 days shall not constitute a defense to any claim for indemnification unless, and only to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifier except that the Indemnifier shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Claimant failed to give such notice. Thereafter, the Claimant shall deliver to the Indemnifier, promptly following the Claimant’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Claimant relating to the claim.
(b) Following receipt of notice from the Claimant of a claim, the Indemnifier shall have 30 days to make such investigation of the claim as the Indemnifier deems necessary or desirable. For the purposes of such investigation, the Claimant agrees to make available to the Indemnifier and/or its authorized representative(s) the information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate the claim. If the Claimant and the Indemnifier agree at or prior to the expiration of said 30 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifier shall immediately pay to the Claimant the full amount of the claim. If the Claimant and the Indemnifier do not agree within such period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), the Claimant may seek a remedy in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement.
(c) With respect to any claim by a Third Party as to which the Company or either Parent and its Member is claiming indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifier shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in or assume control of the defense of such claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifier, and the Claimant shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifier, subject to reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Claimant as the result of a request by the Indemnifier. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifier’s request) the provision to the Indemnifier of records and information th...
