Litigation and Other Proceedings Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there are no lawsuits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company or any subsidiary, nor has the Company received any written or oral notice of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, no judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree or award has been issued by or, to the knowledge of the Company, requested of any court, arbitrator or governmental agency which could result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Third Party Proceedings The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or director or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
ABSENCE OF LITIGATION AND/OR REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, the Common Stock or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or the Company’s Subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a Material Adverse Effect.
Other Proceedings If and whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, at the direction of the Control Party (subject to Section 11.4(e) of the Base Indenture, at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), shall take one or more of the following actions:
(i) proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and the other Secured Parties, by such appropriate Proceedings as the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in aid of the exercise of any power granted therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or by law, including any remedies of a secured party under Requirements of Law;
(A) direct the Guarantors to exercise (and each Guarantor agrees to exercise) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of any Guarantor against any party to any Collateral Document to which such Guarantor is a party arising as a result of the occurrence of such Event of Default or otherwise, including the right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by any such party of its obligations to any Guarantor, and any right of any Guarantor to take such action independent of such direction shall be suspended, and (B) if (x) the Guarantors shall have failed, within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the direction of the Trustee (given at the direction of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative)), to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish such directions of the Trustee, (y) any Guarantor refuses to take such action or (z) the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately, take (or the Control Party on behalf of the Trustee shall take) such previously directed action (and any related action as permitted under this Agreement thereafter determined by the Trustee or the Control Party to be appropriate without the need under this provision or any other provision under this Agreement to direct the Guarantors to take such action);
(iii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Agreement or, to the extent applicable, any other Transaction Document, with respect to the Collateral; provided that the Trustee shall not be required to take title to any real property in connection with any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies hereunder or under such Transaction Documents and title to such property shall instead be acquired in an entity designated and (unless owned by a third party) controlled by the Control Party; and/or
(iv) sell all or a portion of the Collateral at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not proceed with any such sale without the prior written consent of the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) and the Trustee shall provide notice to the Guarantors and each Holder of Notes of a proposed sale of Collateral.
Indemnification Proceedings Any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement will (i) give prompt (but in no event more than thirty (30) days') notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that failure to so promptly notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from liability except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby) and (ii) unless in the indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between the indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to the claim, permit the indemnifying party, at its expense, to assume the defense of the claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any compromise or settlement made without its consent or judgment consented to without its consent, but any such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to or elects not to assume the defense of a claim will not be under an obligation to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by the indemnifying party with respect to the claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between the indemnified party and any other indemnified party with respect to the claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one additional counsel for the indemnified parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be contained in this Section 7.3, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified party, a release from all liability in respect of such claim.
