Advancement and Repayment of Expenses Clause Samples

The Advancement and Repayment of Expenses clause outlines the conditions under which one party, typically a company, agrees to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by another party, such as a director or officer, in connection with legal proceedings or investigations. In practice, this means the company may cover legal fees and related costs upfront, with the understanding that the individual must repay these amounts if it is later determined they were not entitled to such advancement, for example, if they are found to have acted in bad faith. This clause primarily serves to protect individuals from the financial burden of defending themselves while also safeguarding the company by allowing for repayment if the advancement was not warranted.
