8. Director and Officer Liability Insurance. The Company will maintain an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and the Insiders shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any of the Company’s directors or officers.

any claims by a third party or Target who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and (z) shall not apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Indemnitor shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense.

(b) The Company will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, exonerate and hold the Sponsor and its managers and members, including Dragoneer, and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, affiliates, associated investment funds, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling persons, employees and agents and each of the partners, shareholders, members, affiliates, associated investment funds, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, whether or not a signatory hereto (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee or any of them (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of or in connection with any action, cause of action, suit, arbitration, investigation or claim arising out of, or in any way relating to (i) this Agreement, the Public Offering, any completed, abandoned or failed Business Combination or any other agreement or arrangement in connection with the Public Offering or any completed, abandoned or failed Business Combination, or any review or approval of any proposed, abandoned, failed or completed Business Combination or any proxy or other solicitation of shareholder approval or authorization of any proposed, abandoned, failed or completed Business Combination, (ii) any investment opportunities sourced by the Indemnitees, (iii) any act or omission of an Indemnitee in connection with the Company’s or its affiliates’ affairs or (iv) the operations of, or services provided by an Indemnitee to, the Company or any of its affiliates, whether arising prior to or on and after the date hereof and shall advance costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any of the foregoing upon and following receipt of an undertaking from the applicable Indemnitee to repay (without interest) any amounts advanced if indemnification hereunder is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be owed; provided, that if and to the extent that the foregoing indemnification or advancement rights may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification or advancement hereunder will be primary and in addition to any other rights any such person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation. In addition, the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will not entitle such Indemnitee to access the funds held in the Trust Account, as defined below, and any indemnification hereunder will not be permitted to be funded by funds held in the Trust Account.
