INDEMNIFICATION
The Company shall at all times maintain officers’ insurance coverage, in form and substance satisfactory to the Member.
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the officers and the Member and their respective affiliates and such affiliates’ respective directors, officers, members, stockholders, partners, employees and agents, as the case may be (each an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any damages suffered or sustained by him or them by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of his, her or its or any other person’s activities on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries or in furtherance of the interests of the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, that:
(a)the acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions of an Indemnified Party upon which such actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim is based were not performed or omitted fraudulently or in bad faith or as a result of gross negligence, willful misconduct, knowing violation of law or material
4
breach of this Agreement by such Indemnified Party or any other agreement between the Company and such Indemnified Party; and
(b)such Indemnified Party reasonably believed that any of his, her or its acts, omissions, or alleged acts or omissions upon which such actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim is based were in the best interests of the Company.
Such indemnification shall be made only to the extent of the assets of the Company, and no Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof.
Expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by any Indemnified Party in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Article XI or under any other contract or agreement between such person and the Company. Such expenses incurred by such person may be so paid upon the receipt of the aforesaid undertaking.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article XI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s capacity and as to action in another capacity, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an officer or Member and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
The Company hereby acknowledges that an Indemnified Party may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other sources. The Company hereby agrees (i) that it (or, to the extent applicable, its insurance provider) is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to an Indemnified Party are primary and any obligation of such other sources to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement without regard to any rights an Indemnified Party may have against such other sources, and (iii) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases such other sources from any and all claims against such other sources for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by such other sources on behalf of an Indemnified Party with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Party has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the
5
foregoing, and such other sources shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnified Party against the Company. Any such other sources are express third party beneficiaries of this Article XI and, at the request of any Indemnified Party, the Company shall acknowledge its obligations under this Article XI to any such other sources.
Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article XI nor the adoption of any other provision to this Agreement, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, any modification of law, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article XI in respect of any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.
